All-Session (3-game package) tickets for the March 25-26 tournament that sends one team to the Frozen Four can be purchased online through Ticketmaster.com or in person or by phone through the Webster Arena at Harbor Yard Box Office. All-session packages are $60 for adults and $40 for children (12 and under), which is a substantial (75/50) reduction in price compared to the 2009 East Regional at the Arena.
