Commonly Prohibited Items: Standard military-installation restrictions apply, including weapons and other prohibited items subject to base security policy. Event-specific restrictions can also apply.

Cadet Ice Arena ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the opponent, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from regular-season college hockey matchups to rivalry and marquee conference dates.
For Air Force Falcons college hockey games, tickets are typically in the approximate $10–$30 range, with prices varying by opponent and seat location. Matchups against higher-demand opponents, rivalry dates, and marquee conference games can drive stronger demand for the best remaining seats.
Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection, particularly for high-demand conference and rivalry games. As inventory shrinks and the game date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise.
