Minnesota Wild Ticket Prices

I read in the paper that the Minnesota Wild is expected to announce new Minnesota Wild ticket prices in the next week or so. Check back to this Minnesota Wild Ticket blog for the latest changes! Based on my ticket prices poll, it looks like most people are guessing between 6% and 10%. That would put an upper level side ticket at around $48. The Wild ticket prices have went up each year, let’s just hope they don’t gouge us for too much money – it’s not like the Wild are Stanley Cup Champions or anything

Minnesota Wild Season Over

I bet the girls over at Ticket King St Paul are pretty upset that the Minnesota Wild didn’t get to game 7 in the NHL playoffs. I am sure they had to issue some refunds to very disappointed Minnesota Wild fans. The girls even have a blog, here is a shameless plug Ticket King St Paul blog – please return the favor!

Wild Playoff Games

One of my friends heard I had a Minnesota Wild blog and she asked if she could join in on the blog. I told her to send me a "post" about her game and Wild ticket buying expereince. If anyone else wants to send me something to post, feel free! Leave the post in the comments and I will move the best ones to the front page. This is what my friend sent:

I went to my first Wild Playoff game . As my first year as a hockey fan I had decided that if the Wild make it to the playoffs I MUST attend a game. Since I don’t have season tickets, and Ticketmaster was sold out ... AS USUAL! I used Ticket King to get my seats. I had never used a ticket broker before and was a little apprehensive. I ordered my seats over the internet (www.ticketkingonline.com), 104 row 5 and they were amazing. The price was definitely worth it. The game was really exciting, I love being close to the ice. We had a lot of fun heckling the Avalanche players as they went in and out of the penalty box. There was a lot of comradery in our section. The best part was seeing the players in person, James Sheppard in particular. The first period started out strong, the Wild were very aggressive and spent a lot of time at the Avalanche goal, which was pretty cool. We suffered a disappointing loss but the game was really fun none the less. I would definitely use Ticket King again to get amazing seats for Wild Games or any other event in the Twin Cities.

Fluctuating Minnesota Wild Ticket Market

I periodically checked what my favorite local Minnesota Ticket Brokers were charging for the April 17Th. Minnesota Wild Playoff Tickets yesterday and every time that I checked throughout the day, the Wild Ticket prices seemed to go up and the availability appeared to go down. After the demoralizing loss last night, it appears as though prices on Minnesota Wild Tickets for the NHL Playoffs have been reduced by about $20-$30/Ticket. I assume that that trend will continue until the Minnesota Wild Fans realize that the series is tied 2-2 and that this Thursday's game is BIG. GO WILD!!!

Minnesota Wild Season Tickets

It will be interesting to see how much the Minnesota Wild raise the prices on Minnesota Wild Season Tickets next year. I think that the main factor is how far they advance in the NHL Playoffs this year. If they go on a long playoff run, I am sure that they will drastically raise ticket prices and the Wild Season Ticket Holders will be willing to anti up. If they are eliminated by the Colorado Avalanche and still raise their ticket prices, there might be a mutiny by the season ticket holders. The Minnesota Wild Fans definitely expect big things out of this years squad and I am sure that the Minnesota Wild Season Ticket Holders won't view this year as a success without at least winning one playoff series. I hope that the Wild Front office reads my Minnesota Wild tickets blog and doesn't get too cocky with a ticket price increase because things can change very fast in the Twin Cities. Maybe they should learn from the mistakes that the Minnesota Timberwolves made. The Timberwolves had a hard time giving away Timberwolves tickets this year.

Minnesota Wild Ticket Scalpers Get Paid!

I went to the Wild game last night and on my way in I asked a couple of the ticket scalpers what they were charging for their Minnesota Wild Tickets. I was amazed to hear the Upper Level Wild Tickets were going for over $100/Ticket. That was more than Ticket King was charging for that type of seat. They must of been getting their asking price because I didn't see many people with extra tickets and a ton of Minnesota Wild Fans looking for Wild Tickets. Now that there is definitely going to be a Home Game 5, I am sure that the prices on Wild Tickets for that game will sky-rocket.

If you were one of those fans that paid big bucks for their Wild Tickets, you definitely got your money's worth. That was one of the most intense and exciting Minnesota Wild games ever. GO WILD!!!

Wild Playoff Ticket Prices Drop for 4/9

Just as I expected, the Minnesota Wild Playoff Tickets are being sold for less now than they were on Monday. While the Upper Level Tickets are still being sold for $95/Ticket, you can now buy Lower Level Center Ice for $175/Ticket. Those seats have dropped almost $100/Ticket since Monday.

The exact opposite appears to be true for the game on Friday. Minnesota Wild Fans currently have to spend $125/Ticket for an Upper Level Minnesota Wild Ticket and $275/Ticket for a Lower Level Center Ice seat. Those prices have stayed the same or even gone up a little. I wouldn't hold out for a bargain on Friday's game. I can totally see the market exploding Friday afternoon. GO WILD!!!

Minnesota Wild Scalpers Score Big!

My friend went down to the Xcel Energy Center last night to try and find a couple of Minnesota Wild Tickets for the game versus the Calgary Flames. Apparently, Wild Tickets in the upper level were being sold for $100/Ticket and Wild Hockey Tickets in the lower level were being sold for $150/Ticket outside the "X" by the Wild Ticket Scalpers. I guess that "Minnesota Wild Fever" has officially hit the Twins Cities. GO WILD!!!

Wild Season Ticket Holders

I checked the online availability of Minnesota Wild Playoff Tickets after the Wild Season Ticket Holder Presale and the season ticket holders are definitely buying Wild Tickets to sell them at a profit. The supply of Wild Playoff Tickets almost doubled at noon today which was only two hours after the presale began. Because of the increased supply of Wild Hockey Tickets, I wouldn't be surprised if there were bargains to be had the day of the first game. However, don't be surprised if the second home game is an extremely tough ticket to find.

Xcel Energy Center Employees Buy Wild Tickets

I just got word that the employees of the Xcel Energy Center were able to buy Wild Tickets today for the first round of the playoffs. They were each able to buy four tickets to each of the possible four home games of the first round. What a great extra benefit to their jobs. It makes me want to rush down to the Xcel Energy Center and apply for a job. It will be interesting to see what is available to the Minnesota Wild Season Ticket Holders tomorrow when they get the chance to order a few extra Minnesota Wild Playoff Tickets.
