Hold on to your hats and wallets, front-row patrons, the cost of putting your nose against the glass at the Garden for a Bruins game is about to skyrocket. The Bruins, getting in lockstep with much of the sports industry, will attach a high premium to the 190 front-row seats. Last year, season ticket-holders paid $90 -- the uniform price throughout the loge -- for Row 1. This year? Bruins vice president Charlie Jacobs said the final price was yet to be determined, but he confirmed that it would be a ``big boost." 

``Every club I talked to, when I said we get $90, they just laughed," said Jacobs. ``It's a $350 seat [Canadian funds] in Toronto, and it's $450 [California funds] in LA. 

``Now, we're not going near that, but we are going to raise them. I know that's not fun for our fans to hear, and I'll be candid, especially given the team we've had in recent years, we have to be cognizant of what we're doing with our prices." Elsewhere in the building, ticket pricing in general will go up $2 per seat, with no increase at the low ($19) end. In the loge, seats along the ``straightaway" will be increased by $5, while the corner loges will jump by $2. The front-row loge, where prices could crack $200, also will carry a different level of service, according to Jacobs. The attached benefits, he said, were still being sorted out.
