The promotion of the NCAA Regional Hockey Division I hockey tournament in Toledo was almost non-existent. I found out about it in an email from USA hockey. Since it was an opportunity to see four of the "sweet 16" teams in action with only a 90-minute drive to the arena, I was eager to attend. Before purchasing my tickets the day before the event, I read an online article from the Toledo Blade saying that the tickets for Saturday's semifinal games were $45 per game. I had to call Ticketmaster to get confirmation that the price included both games; it did. I noticed the same article was printed in the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Saturday. I'm sure it was a game changer for some people, like myself, who would pay $45 for two games but not one game. As proof of the tickets being overpriced, the 10,000 seat arena was only one-quarter full for each game. Since the NCAA can charge any price for their basketball tourney and get it, they must think the same applies to hockey. So, the atmosphere for such high-quality play was boring. The players from all four teams deserved better. I get the point that the NCAA can't sell alcohol at their events. No problem. But...we were not informed ahead of time at any point that we would not be allowed to leave the arena in the hour between games. NCAA policy. What a joke! So, we were held captive in the Huntington Center from 1:00 (first game at 1:30) until after 7:00 (second game started at 5:00). We were forced to sit through seven ice cuts and interminable TV time-outs while having no other alternative than to eat arena food (which was decent). So, the action was outstanding, there were literally thousands of good seats available, and the Huntington Center staff was fine. But...tickets were way too expensive and the NCAA should have marketed discount tickets to youth hockey groups. Anything to fill the arena would have made for a better experience. The overlords at the NCAA also need to realize that the adults who pay good money to attend events like this do not appreciate being treated like children.
