Its time for DU students to prepare their tents. It’s that time of year again.

This Saturday, at 8 a.m., student hockey season tickets go on sale for the upcoming 2010-2011 ice hockey season.

This season’s Student Season Ticket Package includes a total of 18 games against some of the best teams in the nation.

The cost of the package will be $72 with a valid Pioneer Card.

This is an annual festivity that gathered more than 40 total tents last year as 350 student season passes were sold. At that time, the Pioneers were several days away from being ranked No. 1 in the nation, starting the preseason.

For students who plan to buy indiviudal tickets throughout the season, the cost of a single game ticket will be $5 prior to Monday beginning a home series. Students who fail to buy an individual ticket before Thursday will have to pay regular admission, $18, to get into the game and tickets will be sold on a limited basis.

As for the students who know they will be attending every home game, there shouldn’t be any hesitation —make sure you have a tent by Friday.
Who: All DU Students

What: Hockey Ticket Campout.

Where: North Gate of the Ritchie Center.

When: Get there ASAP Friday afternoon. First come, first served. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 8 p.m.

Why: Nothing beats a sold out Magness Arena.

How: Bring your Pioneer Card and $72.

So here's my question: the student tickets always sell out, right? Then where are all the students? I've been to games and the student section has been virtually empty.

let me guess - the games you have been to are in between Thanksgiving and New Years??

The freshman buy the tickets thinking it's good deal. They go to a couple of games before they realize they have something better to do or they decide they would rather get laid. I'm impressed by the fact that the new group is fooled year in and year out.

Every year for the past 6-7 years the student section has improved.

We need to continue building it.If anyone has good ideas or thoughts post them here or email them to me and I'll pass them along to DU Athletics.

I guess, I mean we won 2 straight against Michigan Tech in our last two home games, so yeah... I'd say DU spirit was pretty high!
