There is a premium for the Cornell hockey game, but it's marginal... a GA ticket goes from $8 to $10, for example. No idea why this one is so expensive other than they think they can get it... will ask.

Thanks for the information. Okay - i can accept that admission prices for top-tier games around country have risen. But, that doesn't change fact that there is huge premium being charged by Colgate for the U CONN game. I know eberyone would like to see Starr paked every game - but our hockey program has tradition and is well-established. Our women's basketball pgrm lacks tradition and does not have nearly enough core supporters who attend home games. $25 is steep - and a real premium over a regular game admission. If even 10-20 new fans attended U CONN game - and liked the experience - and decided to come back to attend other Colgate women's basketball games, those 10-20 additional attendees would represent a real tangible "gain" for the women's basketball program. In my mind, charging the premium is NOT the way to try and build a program's following. Big supporter of VC and her team - but they got this one wrong. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I tend to think 25 bucks is a bit much for local fans and those that do attend regular season WBB games. It's kind of a slap in the face for them. But, we'll see and maybe they will sell the game out.

Pay $25.00 to watch a game that we will lose by 50, sign me up!

I will be surprised if it's not a sellout. But most of the fans may be rooting for UConn, unless a lot of CU fans buy tickets before they are offered to the general public.
