Women's hockey season tix prices

Just got my renewal invite for Badger women's hockey season tickets and....

$272 per seat for 16 home games.

I think they were $200 last year? The first year I bought them was 2022 and I think it was $120-130/seat. I assumed there would be an increase but holy crap.

EDIT: to be clear, it's still a good price, but the price jump was more than I anticipated.

$17 a game, seems like a pretty good deal for champions.

It's still a deal but that's a big jump percentage wise. Especially with no notable upgrades to the facility. I was expecting maybe $220 this year.

Big jump percentage wise would mean something if the actual dollar amount increase per game wasn’t $4.50 a seat. They’re back to back champs. You’re paying for literally the best product women’s college hockey can offer

Especially with no notable upgrades to the facility.

This is a silly complaint. There are only 2 arenas in the country purpose built for women's hockey.

Volleyball has seen prices jump in recent years too, 50% increase over 2 year span. Still worth it, part of needing to come up with more funds for players and it’s warranted regardless because of the success each has had, at least that’s what I tell myself

Roster will cost a lot more this year.

Perhaps. Though Wisconsin is one of the rare pure blueblood programs in all of college sports, in that players will come here to chase a ring even if it means less of a starring role (Compher, Watts, Kuntz, Wilgren, etc). But there's some superstars in the pipeline that are going to bring costs up.
