Here is the official press release for the ticket sales linked below. Funny, this also shoots some holes in a certain bloggers theory on what a college hockey team makes for a hockey game as far as ticket prices go. The only tickets that are 15.00 are youths ages 2-12. We rounded the figure off to 25.00 dollars a ticket x 8,500 per game(8,500 X 25.00 x 20 = 4,250,000). You can see that UND and REA makes a lot of money from Fighting Sioux hockey and this isn't even counting concessions and other stuff that is sold in the Sioux shop. I wouldn't be surprised if it's another million or so based on suite sales.

GEEZ, $45 for the Minnesota tics.....WOW. Since when did the economy come back up from the crapper? I won't even get to see the series this year is what really stinks!
ReplyDeleteFHG26 that is a lot of money for hockey tickets. If I was Wisconsin and DU I would complain that the prices aren't better. :) I think Wisconsin is worthy of 45.00 ;)
ReplyDeleteWell NOTHING about Wiconsin is worth $45! :D But with the rivalry you guys have with them now I would agree.
