Red Wings Tickets

Hoping to catch some exciting on-ice action in the Detroit area this season? Better get your Red Wings tickets early, then. The team is one of the most popular professional hockey franchises in the world, and the hottest selling NHL ticket in the United States. According to figures obtained by ESPN, the Wings sold 101% of their available tickets for games at the Joe Louis Arena during the 2003-04 season, which just goes to show that their love of hockey in the Detroit area is even more powerful than the laws of mathematics. While some franchises have struggled to maintain their fan bases following the lockout, hockey fans in the Motor City are clearly ready for the team in red and white to lace up the skates and return to the ice. In a September 2005 article, Joanne C. Gerstner of The Detroit News had this to say: "Early indications are the Wings' fan base is solid, as evidenced by season-ticket sales and the lengthy season-ticket waiting list still at pre-labor strife levels."
