It's a shame that student interest in the team has waned to the point where a line is no longer necessary. In part, I think it's attributable to some down teams in the last few years (by our lofty standards), but probably due in larger part to the success of the basketball program. It's no longer a one-sport town.
My freshman year was the fall of '03 and I vividly remember the line for hockey tickets wrapping all the way around (the then 1/3 larger) Alumni fields and Gene estimating they had 6,000 students line up for tickets. Of course that was on the heels of a Frozen Four appearance, but I think it will take a Frozen Four before hockey bounces back to where it was pre-hoops Sweet 16.

Well... the tickets are cheaper now, but not by much. $234 is down from $254 last season. Looks like section B remains to be assigned seating.

The tickets cost less because there are two fewer games than last year. The per-game price remains the same ($13).

Yep. Never meant to imply it was cheaper per game. Also, I realized I quoted the wrong ticket price for last year (should've been $260).
For those who didn't notice, it appears this year undergrads are allowed to purchase two tickets per person instead of one. It'll be interesting to see how this will change ticket sales dynamics.

That's how it was when I was an undergrad. They moved to one ticket per student when demand was at its peak. Now they're having trouble selling out. I think the theory is that it's better to give 2 tickets to 750-ish motivated fans who will make sure those tickets get used. I always enjoyed having two tickets and being able to bring someone.
