    Last weekend it was $4. For the semi's you got two games for $4, as the ticket was reusable for the second semi. (I lost mine along the way so had to buy a second to get back in) On Sunday it was $4 as well for the Final.

    That is the same as it was in past years, so I suspect that that is standard Clarkson pricing.

    Given you are driving all the way from CT why the worry about ticket pricing ?. Parking is FREE !!!!.

    No need to pre-buy, each time I got to the rink last weekend 10 minutes before game time and it took about 5 minutes to buy my tickets and find my seat. It is non-designated seating for Women's hockey. You are free to roam.

    Clarkson is a great facility, one of the better ones in the ECAC. It has a similar configuration as the TD in Hamden WRT seating configuration. Main difference is the color scheme.

    Too bad if it is spring break, as the band may not there which would be a shame if that is the case. Clarkson has a great band and lively band. You'd love them if they were a BC band, as they get into the chanting and the whole bit. You would eat that up.

      Since it's his car we're going wherever he wants.

      Will you be at the game? Would love to buy you a beer for sharing your North Country expertise. (That goes for OnMAA too.)
      I live about 288 miles from Potsdam door to door and I work on Saturday nights, so I won't be there. I might be going to Lynah for the men's game on Friday, as that's only about a 3 hour ride for me. Regardless of Saturday's outcome, I will be in Hamden for the FF though. That's only a 75 mile trip for me.

      As far as charging for tickets, I believe that's regulated by the NC$$ as it is their tournament. The last time I was up there for a women's game, I believe it was free or maybe a $5 general admission. Our women's games barely draw 100 fans on most nights, although the ECAC represented well for the league tournament. Clarkson's website says the women's tickets for this weekend are $10 adult, $6 student/senior, $4 for kids 12 and under.

        I've actually been to the new place Between the Buns in "downtown" Potsdam. I think it opened last spring. Great sports bar atmosphere more typical of larger cities, unexpected in the boonies.

        It was packed. Many TVs to watch whatever sports games are on, the burgers are really good, lots of beer choices on tap, and best of all with ridiculously cheap beer prices. I'd highly recommend it.

          My experience with ECAC bands is that they are generally great with the cheering and the liveliness and not so great with the instrumentation.

                Yeah, screw that. Totally not worth it.

                Wait, $4 American or Canadian?

                  Cheel Arena is NOTHING like TD in Hamden. I think the manure emanating off the fields in North Country is getting to him. It's a whole lot more like Conte than it is like TD.

                    I've been to both Cheel and TD several times and I think they're quite similar. I also think Conte is similar, on a much larger scale, although I think Conte's sight lines for hockey are pretty poor and I had my choice of seats the last time I was there for a CCT/BC game.

                      Oh I didn't even think of that. If we're just talking a couple of Toonies that would certainly help.

                        Potsdam and environs are about 30 min south of Canadian border. The $4 you spend on tickets I can guarantee you will more than save on the price of beer relative to New England pricing. $3-$4 per beer is the norm here

                              There was probably about 1000 fans each day last weekend at Clarkson.

                                It's okay, I'll drink enough for the both of us. Especially if BC loses.
