The NCAA allocates a limited supply to each participating school, and as a result the following policies are in place to fairly satisfy the many requests for tickets: Sign up for the 2004 Ticket lottery will begin on Monday, March 29 at 8:30 a.m. and conclude on Wednesday, March 31st at noon. Sign-ups can be done through the Black Bear Ticket Office either on a walk-up basis or by phone at 1-800-756-TEAM or 581-BEAR. For your convenience the ticket office will be open for extended hours until 6:30 p.m. on both Monday and Tuesday evening. If phone lines are busy, please e-mail info@goblackbears.com directly and an athletic department representative will call you back.
While the Athletic Department will take as many orders for tickets as possible, it is highly unlikely, due to the limited quantities, that they will be able to satisfy many orders outside of the following priority list.
Priority for tickets is as follows:
1. All University of Maine hockey players and their families.
2. 75 tickets will be allocated to current University of Maine students, which is equal to the same percentage averaged at all home games this season at Alfond Areana.
3. Donors to the athletic department at or above $10,000 annually.
Once the above groups have been allocated their tickets, if tickets remain, the athletic department will conduct a weighted lottery, limit two per person, that will take into consideration both season ticket holders as well as athletic donor level during the 2003-04 year.
If fans would like to increase their chances at tickets for this year’s Frozen Four the Black Bear Club and Shawn Walsh Hockey Center will be accepting gifts, which are non-refundable, and will increase the probability of securing tickets for the tournament.
At the deadline for lottery sign-up at noon on Wednesday, March 31, the athletic department will also release the methods by which fans can pick them up.
The university has a strict scalping policy and if any fans are caught doing so their eligibility for tickets will be revoked.
All Black Bear Club Donors who placed their orders prior to March 19 are already entered into this Frozen Four Ticket lottery and will not need to place an additional order.
