BOSTON – Tickets for the 2013 Women's Beanpot, hosted by Northeastern University at Matthews Arena, are now available for purchase. The tournament, entering its 35th season, features Boston College, Boston University, Harvard and Northeastern in a battle for Boston bragging rights.

The tournament begins with semifinal action on February 5 at 5 p.m. when the Eagles and Crimson facing off before the Terriers and Huskies square off in the nightcap at 8 p.m. The losers of the semifinal contests will meet in the Consolation Game one week later, Feb. 12, at 5 p.m. before the semifinal winners meet in the title game at 8 p.m.

Tickets for the tournament are $5 for adults and $3 for children, and are good for admission to both games on the date printed on the ticket.
