Limited Wild Home Games in March

Hockey Tickets Minnesota, a Minnesota Wild ticket broker site, pointed out the fact that there are only 4 Wild home games the entire month of March. That isn't very many opportunities for the team of 18,000 to show up at the Xcel Energy Center. The broker site states that since there are so few games, the Wild ticket demand will be high and thus we can conclude that Wild ticket prices will be high as well.


I agree, but on one condition - the Minnesota Wild win consecutive road games and keep close in the NHL playoff chase. If the Wild go on a losing streak, no one is going to pay big bucks to see the team at home even if there are only a few last opportunities. If the Wild can pull off big wins on the road in the next month and keep close in the playoff chase, you can bet Minnesota Wild ticket prices will go up. Moral of the story - it's a gamble on prices. I would recommend buying tickets as soon as you see a winning streak coming on because you can guarantee prices will go up as the home games gets closer, but if the Wild are losing, I would wait until the morning before the game for the best Wild ticket price

Haha - I don't know that "winning on the road" and "Minnesota Wild" go hand in hand this season. We can always hope, though.

Cortney, if this Wild team wants to make the NHL playoffs, they will have to win SEVERAL of these March road games! I haven't lost the faith, yet.
