Barrie 900 Report post Posted August 23, 2016 Single Game Tickets went on sale today at 10am. I hope all of you had a Pre Sale code, because by 4:30 it was slim pickings for the weekend games! I was lucky to get tickets to October 29 vs. Boston and December 11 vs. Philly. If you're hoping to see the Bruins in October, I got the last 2 together for that game, so blame me for there only being single tickets left 1 kickazz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juiceman 6 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 Typically, only a handful of tickets will be released on these pre-sales. I'm sure that if you check again on Monday morning when they go on sale for everyone, there will be a large number of tickets available for all games. Well, except for the final game on April 9th.

Barrie 900 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 I don't know man. If you get Red Wings eAlerts and got a pre-sale code, I suggest you order tickets before 10pm! A lot of the weekend games only have single seats left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 I got my ass kicked buying tickets for my Dad and myself for the Sharks game. But if you're coming from you out of town, it's hard to buy tickets the day before a game. Pretty sure I overpaid for what we got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NerveDamage 4,176 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Single-game tickets for the “Farewell Season at The Joe” go on sale Monday, Aug. 29 at 10 A.M. I'm looking forward for Monday to get some tickets, any advice on any preferred areas or seats? Edited August 24, 2016 by NerveDamage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Anywhere in the Joe is good. Literally. I prefer the side where Red Wing's shoot twice. Edited August 24, 2016 by kickazz 1 NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NerveDamage 4,176 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 Thanks, I'm planning on buying tickets for two games, I'd like one of them to be centere ice and as close to the glass as possible. So I'd shell out some big bucks on one game and for the other I wouldn't mind seating in the upper area, not nosebleed though. Anyone in the know of what are the prices this year? 1 skerrydude reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NerveDamage 4,176 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 Geez I'm in a conundrum, I was thinking of going to the March Blackhawks and Rangers games, but January's v Penguins, Canadiens and Bruins look enticing too; and would love to attend as many games as possible. Decisions, decisions. I think it will come down to the weather and which month would be best to visit Detroit... any input from the Michiganders? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted August 25, 2016 how much did you pay for them seats? I bought them online and early. Just over $200. StubHub doesn't deliver tickets until the day before the game, which makes me nervous, as I'm travelling on that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StubHub doesn't deliver tickets until the day before the game, which makes me nervous, as I'm travelling on that day. I'm guessing I'll have to buy them via ticketmaster or via detroitredwings.com, but monday morning I'll be F9'ing like there's no tomorrow. I don't know what their ticket policies are, do they deliver or one can just pick 'em up at the Joe's box office? Good thing there's a ticketmaster office nearby, maybe they can print them out before I travel. those January games keep sounding better and better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigWillieStyle 662 Report post Posted August 25, 2016 I'm in the upper area. Row 10. Will I see a goddamn thing? That's a great spot to see everything. The only spot it might be an issue, is if you're in 207 or 208. That's where the main camera that they use for 75% of the game is. There are a few seats in that area where the view can be partially obscured, but I honestly think that row 10 is above that. And I'm pretty sure that most of those seats are STH seats, anyway.

You'll have to get tickets from Stubhub if you want to go to those games. If I remember correctly, those were all weekend games (I checked out a few of those teams), and had nothing together, only single seats. I'm in the upper area. Row 10. Will I see a goddamn thing? You'll have a great view of the game in row 10. The tickets I got to both games are in section 202A, rows 18 and 19. I've sat around there a few times, and it's a good view, even that high. Like already said, there isn't a bad seat in the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sat 14, Mon 16 and Wed 18, Also, I'm only getting a single seat... I checked Stubhub last night and wanted to get 107 seats for the penguins game aprox. $179 5/6 row, don't know if they sell them sepparately. So, should I try Ticketmaster on monday or just go to stubhub? It's my first time buying tickets this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you've never bought Wings tickets on ticketmaster, you can see the entire arena. The available seats are blue dots, the ones already sold are in black. Just click on the blue dot to claim the seat! Good luck! 1 NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad to be going with my Dad, but if I went alone, I could have gotten a really good seat in the lower section. People from out of town who only go to one game in a lifetime (like myself) don't care about how much it will cost. If I lived in Detroit and was a regular, I wouldn't be thrilled about paying that much for two tickets in the upper section.

I've been waiting over 17 years to attend to a game at the Joe. I'm looking in the $300 usd range for the game against Pittsburgh. vs the Canadiens and Bruins I'd probably get either SRO or upper level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm kicking myself for going now instead of going when my favorites played (like Yzerman, Fedorov, Lidstrom, etc). I shouldn't have sat on my ass. Still, I'm excited to actually go to the arena. It's like Mecca for me. Every Wings fan must make this journey at least once in a lifetime.

Totally Agree, at least you get to go with your dad. I'd love to go with my best friend, who's a Big Red Wings Fan, but the trip is quite expensive. I hope I don't look like a loser, all alone haha. I know, due to my stubbornness of attending my first ever NHL game at the Joe made me miss watch them play too, and now I won't see Pasha play either. I think the one I regret the most is not going to the Winter Classic at the Big house, that woulda been sweet. Edited August 25, 2016 by NerveDamage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
