Frozen Four Tickets - Priority Purchase Process

I would say so. I also received a call and an email. Playing on Easter Weekend isn’t going to help their cause either.

Certainly not the first time it has been on Easter weekend. It's been the same weekend every year for several years, better than the days when it was the same weekend as the final four. NCAA has lots of issues, but they can't dictate the weekend Easter falls. Prices were less than last year, which is a good step, here's hoping arena is full. After St. Paul, Buffalo, Detroit, next year Pittsburgh (which was a nice surprise and a fun city) then Boston, let's hope we get a wild card like Nashville, or Vegas along with Tampa in the next group. Early April in Midwest and Northeast does not equate to fun outdoor activities.
 
Re: Frozen Four Tickets - Priority Purchase Process

We didn't buy this year so the priority will probably slip, was 2nd priority. Went to Detroit, enjoyed it a lot, Motown Museum, Tigers game the afternoon of the final, Greek Town for dinner, and was looking forward to a real hockey rink rather than Ford's Field, which was a disaster, but, like Buffalo, we saw everything. Probably will skip Pittsburgh, again the same reason, and with the new configuration of seats at the Boston Garden, unless they do something to alleviate the tight squeeze, am not looking forward to that. Probably skip the Beanpot for that reason.

That said, did receive an email, replied politely that we weren't interested this year, and received a very courteous and professional response which I was impressed by.

Apparently the Lightning do not want the Frozen Four anymore because it forces them to play the final week of the NHL season on the road, when they may be fighting for a playoff spot/seeding.

Too bad. Loved both trips to Tampa.

Also agree. I traveled to both Tampa FFs, and and likewise had great times.

HOWEVER: Everyone who cares about the event was extremely fortunate that North Dakota qualified the second time around. Without the best traveling fan base in college hockey, in-house attendance would have been embarrassingly bad. Have to believe that's another factor in the decision.

Basically we went back to Tampa too soon. Without the novelty factor, neutral fans won't travel in sufficient numbers to fill the building at a non-traditional site. I'm proud to be part of the Frozen Four fanbase. But for the most part, we're a budget-conscious group. IMHO, more years will have to go by before Tampa is financially viable again, regardless of the Lightning's preferences.
 
Re: Frozen Four Tickets - Priority Purchase Process

On a somewhat related note, does anyone remember when tickets for the regionals typically go on sale?
 
Re: Frozen Four Tickets - Priority Purchase Process

Yes I do! They should do that again so any team that make it to the Final Four need to get ahold of some reserved tickets held for once!
 
Re: Frozen Four Tickets - Priority Purchase Process

$99 all session frozen four tickets for the lower bowl were being sold tonight with a promo code given on the Michigan vs. Michigan State game. What a joke for those of us in the priority process that paid full value.
 
Re: Frozen Four Tickets - Priority Purchase Process

I too saw that offer this evening (on Twitter). Said to use code Weekend to get $99 All Session tickets. I checked and the price was valid for lower bowl. Feels like an insult to the “Priority Process”. Hopefully this won’t be like Buffalo last year, with vast areas of empty seats.

They've been insulting us long-time supporters of the Frozen Four for quite a while now. I'm done attending this as an annual thing. If BC makes it, maybe.

I would like a refund. They got to hold onto my money for how much longer and charged me $150 more per ticket?
I've been considering this being my last year of season tickets at Michigan, but maybe it'll also be my last year as a priority ticket purchaser. I'll just go to the FF if my team is in it or when it's a fun vacation destination and I can find cheap tickets.
 
Re: Frozen Four Tickets - Priority Purchase Process

Posted a pair of seats on StubHub in section 110, one section over from Center Ice. Row 15 aisle , $379 each All sessions. Can't make it due to work.

Information regarding refunds -if you purchased from the NCAA - is on their website and also on the NCAA Hockey Facebook page

Basically it says if you purchased from a NCAA vendor the cost of your tickets, less fees, will be credited to the account used to purchase the tickets within 30 days

Not that I expect you to know the answer, but I'm just responding to you. I wonder how long one can use that credit. If you can't use it past a year, that could screw some people who might have bought a lot of tickets this year and/or were not planning on going next year.

Okay, it's an outright refund:

If you ordered your tickets from an official NCAA Championship vendor online or over the phone, you will be refunded. No additional action is needed.

And it looks look you don't even have to do anything as long as you bought them through the priority system or straight from the NCAA.
