Re: frozen four attendance
Just looked at Ticketmaster. Lots more seats than I expected still available. Almost half the upper deck and 3 of the corners had seats even in the lower bowl. I find it hard to believe the schools returned their allotments already but if so I imagine the corner with only a few seats is North Dakota's. BC fans have been priority holders due to so many recent appearances so their fans are somewhat scattered so it is understandable they don't sell out their allotment. Denver has a core group but usually does not quite fill their sections. Surprised Quinnipiac may not have fared any better than DU.
The days of buying for maintaining priority points and trying to sell may have run out for all but those at the highest priorities as they at least have decent seats to sell. Anyone further down is wasting their money doing so. Having a middle level priority makes it safe to always get tickets when you want to do so and somewhat decent seats. It is no longer necessary to always buy, just when you find a location or year you desire instead. Just maybe people outside of BC and North Dakota fans are tired of seeing those two teams too often. As a BC fan I understand the disdain for my team by other fans. I would feel the same if I were them.
