tbatti 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 I am looking to go to game 5 and I need to get tickets. For those of you that went to game 1 and/or 2, did you notice if there were a lot of tickets for sale? By any chance, do you know if they were at, above or below face value? I went to the SCF last year for games 1,2 and 5 and people had a very hard time selling tickets. Just wondering if it is the same this year so I can try to figure out how much it will cost me. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Stanely 39 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 I sold three of mine beforehand for "cost" (it is illegal to sell tickets above cost). The guy who bought them had a no-show and had to sell one- He sold my $225 ticket for $50. I asked a scalper what he was getting for upper level- he said "I'm just trying to get face for everything" You should be able to get a deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladiator 116 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 If you can wait till the day of the game, StubHub tickets will start falling in price. If you have a laptop, park out in front of StubHubs office there in downtown Detroit, bid on a the tickets in the last hour before the game and you should be close to paying face for the tickets.

Jake Ryan 1 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 Take the 1000, go buy a 52 LCD, sign up for HD, and watch it at home. Then enjoy 5 years of awesome television viewing after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah you could do that too. But really, if you could be at the game that the Wings win the Cup at, wouldn't you pay that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I stopped doing things millionaires do a few years ago. I will be a millionaire within the next decade, however. And when I am, then "yes"!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ifonlyicouldskate 11 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 Don't know never bought from them. But they are always asking for extra tickets. But if I had to guess it would be high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OsGOD 3 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) Take the 1000, go buy a 52 LCD, sign up for HD, and watch it at home. Then enjoy 5 years of awesome television viewing after that. my 65" HD offers better viewing... i would recommend that size! Yeah you could do that too. But really, if you could be at the game that the Wings win the Cup at, wouldn't you pay that? not a chance in this destroyed job market where the major cash cows are going bankrupt... i would rather take that money and have enjoyment over the next 5+ years then for 2-1/2 hours.... UNLESS there was a 100% chance they would win it that night. Remember last year.... that would have sucked to be so close and yet so far from it! maybe in a few years when the economy picks up i will toss out $1000 for a ticket to the finals... right now i will enjoy the view from the 10th row with my HDtv and then cruise downtown Plymouth and Royal oak after they win with everyone else!

McCartyFanForLife 17 Report post Posted June 4, 2009 I went to Game 5 last year; no chance in hell I'm doing it again this year. Economy is too risky to spend $100 - $200 per ticket + parking + gas + food. My HD tv will do just fine. I did use Stubhub.com last year and it worked really well. I bought Game 5 tickets after the Wings lost game 3 and paid about $300 per ticket for 2 tickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
