I'd like to see it drop to $40 though. Maybe next year.
    That would be my thought with it as well. Freshmen can come to games for free, see all of the fun that the Misfits are having together, wants to go get in on the action, slides in with them from time to time but soon realized he just won't always get the spot near his new found friends. Next year comes around and he can have a permanent spot, with hopes of getting an even better spot as he continues his academic career at Tech.

        NMU, with a .562 win percentage since re-joining the CCHA, two trips to the NCAA regionals, three straight trips in a row to the CCHA championship in Detroit (and 8 of the last 9 years), countless NHL draft picks who have gone on to play minor-professional hockey (and two with NHL games), and yet we have a hard time selling out 3,800 seats at $14 each (no premier game pricing).

        $20 for a game would alienate quite a few people.

          Oh, you mean wins by the Huskies.

          Seriously, that is insanely cheap for season tickets.
          Agreed. In the early to mid-90's I paid $35 or so for my student tickets at Ferris. I think my Adrian tickets this year are going to run about $150.

            During '82-'86 student tickets cost $4

            $6 for the general public.

            No idea what season tickets cost as I never got season tickets.

              Tickets at the Dee in the late 60's were a quarter for a game.

                I can't imagine they were that expensive, even with inflation, even in the glory days. The late 60s and early 70s were, correct me if I'm wrong Mr. and Mrs. huskyfan, a real nadir for the Copper Country in general as the copper era that had supported the area's way of life for nearly a century, began to fail, leaving these communities to flail around for something to latch on to for a base.

                  It began further back than that. Late 1945, WW2 had just ended, the war effort was no longer artificially inflating the price of copper. Back further still, the rapid introduction of the "Widowmaker" one-man drill in the 1920s, which more or less cut the number of skilled mining jobs in half. Really though, the golden years ended with the Great Strike of 1913/1914, the rise of labor unions, and the discovery of copper deposits out west that could be mined more cheaply.

                        Oh and straight from Suzanne:
                        Actually we are going with $52.50 on the price. Get others to buy them so we keep a season ticket package.
                        So they might be looking to take away student season tickets in the future, which would suck.

                          Why would they take student tickets away? No one goes to the games. Whether it's a student not buying the ticket or an old person not buying the ticket, it's still $0. And by taking away student tickets, they make no money off students.

                            The word out of the paint store is that Assistant Coach Damon Whitten reads the boards.

                            I had the opportunity to meet Lou Angotti and John Kosiancic. Also, I saw two Stanley Cup rings, one of Randy Mckay's and Kris Draper's dad was wearing his son's.
