Promoting three times is no doubt rarer, although according to Tim Krabbe, there have been a few games where 3 pawns on each side have promoted. And the record for one side (in a serious game) is 4 times, as shown below. White even got in the act, promoting twice as well, meaning that the game had 8 queens taking part at various times!

That was a cool game. Can't believe black won it.
Tredling-Benima, Winschoten 1896, ended with 5 queens on the board, according to Chernev in THe Chess Companion.
