kozac 10 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 I live in New Jersey so I go whenever the Wings come around this area (Devils, Rangers, possibly Islanders and Flyers). I also went to the game in Carolina the year the Hurricanes won the cup and was fortunate enough to witness a great Yzerman goal while wearing my Yzerman jersey!

Barrie 900 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 Only once that I've been have we lost. I think they should give me season tickets. =) Good for you. I did the math and the Wings are 7-4-2-2 when I see them live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsook 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 Good for you. I did the math and the Wings are 7-4-2-2 when I see them live. Lucky! The wings are 0-3-1 for me... this includes both the buffalo and toronto blowout this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyphoenix 153 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 I go to 5-10 a season. Plus a few playoff games. Last season I got tickets to Round 1: Game 1, Round 2: Game 1, Round 2: Game 3, and Round 4: Game 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EuroTwin 240 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 When my boyfriend and I lived in Michigan still we'd go as often as we could. I think we saw about four or five games in two years? Including two playoff games. I'd buy him tickets for his birthday and once for our anniversary. The closest team to us is the Sharks now, but they sell out pretty quickly and we can't really afford their ticket prices right now, so I haven't been to a game in a while.

VladyIBELIEVE16 257 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 Last season I went to four regular season games - two in anaheim, two in la then three in anaheim for the playoffs and then two Stanley Cup Finals games so that makes 9 total. Yzerman's retirement season I went to 11 games... between, LA, Anaheim and Detroit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingsfan75 2 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 I usually try to get to at least two games during a season. Last year I was lucky enought to see 4 games. What's crazy is that I've been to nearly 40 games in the past 15 years and have only seen the Wings lose 2 or 3 games and tie once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually go to 4-5 games a year and at least one playoff game. Rare they win. Hopefully that is changing since I went to last night's game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eizzo03 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 My family and I have had season tickets for the last 3 seasons so I've been very very very spoiled. It's like an hour drive to the Joe from here so it's not too bad. We didn't renew our tickets this year with my younger brother's hockey schedule and my work schedule (not to mention the incredible cost) so I've only been to 1 preseason game so far, plus the game I went to in Toronto last weekend. I am going next Friday night against the Panthers though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 I live in Metro Atlanta now, so I normally go to Thrashers games during the season. The Gwinnett Gladiators ECHL arena is like ten minutes away, so I go to about a dozen of those games a season, and usually make it to about 6 Thrashers games a year. I've been in a trend the last few years to fly out to Detroit overnight in early January to catch a home game, which i've done once a year for the last 4.

Mikeal 60 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 This. And for me there's the 7 hour drive to the Joe, my 2 boys (19 month old & 2 week old that my wife, & I would have to bring along), the cost is never getting any cheaper, etc, etc. Center Ice in HD along with cheaper snacks/beer, and no waiting in a line for a clean bathroom just tops things off I'm in Wi too. About 7 hours drive. I make 8-12 regular season games and most of the home playoff games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HanKarin40 7 Report post Posted November 14, 2009 We go twice a season. Once in October and once towards the end of March. Our anniversary is in August, so that's our present to each other. As soon as the schedule comes out we try to pick a really good game to go to. I told my hubby I would rather go to a game than get flowers or something like that. We also share a birthday, so the one in March is our birthday present to each other! The 8 1/2 hour car ride from Wisconsin to Detroit is a killer sometimes though!

Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted November 14, 2009 I attend roughly 5-10 games per year. Most of the time, I get standing room tickets - TONS less money for the same view as the $150 seats five feet in front of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pavel Hossyukstrom 2 Report post Posted November 14, 2009 Me, rarely ever... Once a year if anything. I would attend more if my birth certificate didnt accidentally get thrown in the dryer. I realize I need a passport now, but I certainly do not have that yet to cross the border. But, I do often see posts on here quite frequently from you guys saying you were at this game, that game, etc, etc. So I am interested... What games have you guys been to this season... How often do you go... I am interested. Yeah even us US citizens are gonna need a passport for returning home from Canada. WTF?@?@?@ but right now there's a grace period for US citizens. It's bulls***!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel Hossyukstrom 2 Report post Posted November 14, 2009 Oh and I attend 3-6 games a year. At least 1 in Detroit even though I'm in upstate NY. Depends how much money I have. Right now I'm going to see us play the Debbies and Rangers in Dec. They're both back to back. AWESOME! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's bulls***!! Yea as a Canadian taking my passport to Wings and Tigers games isn't much fun. I take the tunnel bus from Windsor to games, so I have to carry it around with me I keep hearing rumors about a North American Union and a Amero, similar to Europe, coming soon, and it seems they're making it tougher each year to cross the Canadian-American border.
