Opie 308 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 I just called up Illy, that is what I call Illitch, he calls me Opus. It is kind of a weird relationship. He said Opus, my homie, you don't want those tix, my nizzle they are on the roof. We give you a telescope and you get to watch the game through holes we cut in the roof, fo schizzle It is weird the other night he had huge baggy jeans on and he took me to a 5 star resturaunt, he is taking his MTV make over way to serious!

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) They had them available for preseason games at ticketbastard. You can get $9 tickets for the preseason opener on the 20th.... however the service charges are $5.75 per ticket so its freakin hilarious Btw I have seen them at Row 23-26 in the upper corners.

Guest Yzer19 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 No thank you. I'd rather watch the game at home than have a limited or obstructed view. What good is it to go to a game and then not be able to see it? You still have to pay for parking and stuff from the concession stand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gizmo 21 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 You'd be a lot better off with SRO tickets. Because those tickets will also be SRO (you have to stand to see the ice), but at the top end of the upper bowl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OsGOD 3 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) Well at least they got their act together and started charging only $9 for the tickets as opposed to $22 they have been charging for the past few years. The hardest parts about those rows 24-25 is that they are in the corners where they flatten out in that cubby-hole. If you are going cheap the best place to sit is the LAST ROW that way you can stand up the entire time (no body behind you to yell at you) and you can stand on your chair if need be. Do not expect to see anything except the backs of heads from the row in front of you if you are sitting down... it is impossible. you MUST stand to see anything up there. Now I have seen Row 23 being sold for $9 in other games... that is a perfect seat, you are the at the top but you are the last row before it starts to flatten out so you can see much better while being in your chair. Once again $9 is WAY BETTER than the $22 they were charging up to this point. Edited September 6, 2007 by OsGOD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WendelClark 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 I always thought it would be cool to put some plexi glass or something underneath the rafters and make like a 'glass floor' and then have seats etc above them. Gives you a literal birds eye view of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reyalp 4 Report post Posted September 7, 2007 butttttt, you can sneak down to the lower bowl in the 2nd period. I was just going to say that. I am deff heading to the Joe with a friend and grabing 4 tickets. The game is not going to sell out any way and you c an just move down if you want. Its like buying Standing room only tickets at a Tigers game and sitting where ever you want if its not sold out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SweWings 45 Report post Posted September 7, 2007 So these $9 seats are actually in the JLA? I thought they'd be somewhere kinda far off - as in close to where I live in Sweden... Damn 9 dollars is nothing...but for crap seats...bleh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2007 The Wings are definately having issues getting season's ticket holders. I contacted the Wings and I pretty much have my pick of what kind of package I'd like. They are selling a 12 game package for about $1200 (for two seats). I'm very tempted to buy this. I don't have the cash but I'd like to purchase them, go to about 3 or 4 games and sell the rest. I just don't have $1200 US laying around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2007 Wow. What happend to the waiting list for season tickets? When I saw $9 tickets I figured they were getting desperate to sell tickets. They are. If you go to the Wings official site you can order seasons tickets right now. Why hasn't Illitch learned that the ticket prices are simply overpriced? He was spending close to $80M a year on salary and despite that getting cut in half he keeps the same ticket prices? Well now he's learning the hard way. People don't have the same money they used to. The economy is crap and I truly believe that the lack of a North American offensive star has kept some fans away. If this team had a Spezza, Heatley, Rick Nash, even a Patrice Bergeron, there would be more interest. Fans miss their Stevie's, Shanny's and McCarty's.
