Re: Ticket Prices - Are any as outrageous as Harvard's?
RPI was free, but recently started charging for the games; $5 for adults, $3 for students, RPI students get in free with ID.
Also, SU is free. I believe Colgate is $4 for general admission.

UWS was 6 or 8 I think a few years back. IT was the same price for women/men

If you really want something to whine about...my high school charges 6 for adults and 3 for students without an activity card for the football games. We made it to the state semi-final game and tickets were 12 for high school football!

Re: Ticket Prices - Are any as outrageous as Harvard's?
Girls HS hockey games that I've been to around here are $6 for regular-season game, and for the state tournament, it is either $12 or $15 (can't remember which) per two-game session. So if you go to both the afternoon and evening session and pay to park by the Xcel, it adds up fast.
Re: Ticket Prices - Are any as outrageous as Harvard's?
Clarkson is I believe $2 adults, $1 kids, free students and staff. Not sure on the pricing though since I still have my student ID. The Harvard pricing is outrageous, the one time I was there the school paid but I wouldn't go if I had to pay myself especially adding in the drive and parking

First it was $6, then $8, and on up it went. To add insult to injury, they then charged $10 to park.

Crazy Dave said SCSU tickets were $6--true for years past, but this season they are $8. Free parking, however.
If one would figure out what that comes to per win the past three years, I am thinking that would make Harvard prices a virtual steal!!

I don't know. I paid $6 per win at the National Concrete Center last year.

Little late to the thread, but for Wisconsin it is $5 adult, $2 students/seniors/youth. However, season tickets are only $30 & $15. That along with free parking next to LaBahn Arena and free custard with 5 goals makes Badger women's hockey the best value in town.

Re: Ticket Prices - Are any as outrageous as Harvard's?
If you make the trip up to Ridder Arena this weekend to watch the games, I'm afraid you'll need to bring in your own custard. You will also have to pay $10 to park your car, and none of the concessions (including the stale popcorn) will be free. Then again, you'll get to see a great hockey team* in action.

No road trip this weekend. I usually wait on the trip up in late February/early March when championships are on the line. I have felt the relative gouge of Minnesota pricing multiple times, but clearly they are not the worst based on this thread.

Re: Ticket Prices - Are any as outrageous as Harvard's?
I just have a hard time believing that a well endowed school like Harvard needs to charge at this level. I think the next time I want to see the Harvard team in action, I'll catch them on the road.
Fundamentals of supply and demand should apply, IMHO, which is why it seems apparent to me that there is absolutely no relation between the price setting at Harvard and the Harvard School of Business. If an event is highly popular, there may be marginal costs for security and staff that justify a higher ticket price, but as we all well know....with only a few exceptions, most women's college games are attended by parents and a few friends. Yes, this generally includes the Boston market....just look at the attendance stats here on USCHO. If Minnesota girls high school hockey is getting a turnout in the mid hundreds, then why not grab a Lincoln here and there.

Re: Ticket Prices - Are any as outrageous as Harvard's?
Actually Sunday parking will probably be $8. Men's hockey isn't playing then. Not 100% on this, but you may be able to do street parking on Sunday. I don't think they enforce the meters.If you make the trip up to Ridder Arena this weekend to watch the games, I'm afraid you'll need to bring in your own custard.

Re: Ticket Prices - Are any as outrageous as Harvard's?
Yes you are right it will be $8 on Sunday provided that basketball (men's or women's), volleyball (women's) or wrestling (men's) doesn't have a game/match next door. Also, the street meters are now enforced 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, and they aren't exactly cheap either. As I recall they are 25 cents for every 8 minutes, so figure on putting in around $5.50, if you can find one.

Re: Ticket Prices - Are any as outrageous as Harvard's?
The last time I used one, I think the meters in Stadium Village are still $1.25 an hour. Not positive, though. The problem is that all of the ones that I know of have a two hour limit. A women's game isn't so much longer than that that there's no possibility that you'll get away with it but you will be uncovered for some amount of time at the end.

If the arena allows re-entry, just re-fill it during an intermission.

Re: Ticket Prices - Are any as outrageous as Harvard's?
Ridder doesn't allow for re-entry, and as a note of caution the Minneapolis Parking Enforcement has all the tools to issue you tickets as soon as your meter expires. All the meters are now electronic and connected to the parking enforement folks. All they have magic wands that tell them what spots are paid and which ones aren't so all they have to do is drive by and look.
