Minnesota Wild Ticket Prices for Remaining Xcel Energy Center Home Games

After tonight’s Minnesota Wild vs. Vancouver Canucks game, there are only THREE Minnesota Wild home games left. THREE! The Wild are still in the NHL Playoff hunt so fans should be paying attention to every single game.


Minnesota Wild ticket prices are pretty reasonable for the final couple of games, but if the games become playoff deciders, you can bet the prices will only go up! I would buy Wild tickets now because I doubt the prices will get any lower. I looked at prices for Minnesota Wild Tickets on Hockey Tickets Minnesota.com and here is what I found:


The puck drops at 7pm for:

Wild vs Flames Fri 4/3 (tickets start at $69/each)
Wild vs Stars Tue 4/7 (tickets start at $39/each - CHEAP!)
Wild vs Predators Fri 4/10 (tickets start at $54/each)

Minnesota Wild Prices vs Minnesota State High School Hockey Prices

The local news station has been covering the hype of the Minnesota State High School Hockey tournament over at the Xcel Energy Center. Channel 45 is broadcasting all the games and their parent channel, KSTP Channel 5, did a leading news story comparing Minnesota Wild Ticket prices vs. High School Hockey ticket prices. The high school hockey ticket news story concluded that demand for the High School game was actually greater than for the Wild.

Actually, I am surprised at how low Minnesota Wild ticket prices have been lately. I can only explain it by saying the team isn’t playing extremely hot and I think fans get Wild overload by the time March rolls around. High School Hockey is just one weekend of games so there are fewer tickets available and thus demand is higher. Besides that, the Xcel Energy Center doesn’t sell single game tickets like ticket brokers do so fans are willing to pay more for just the game they want and to get the tickets ahead of time as opposed to waiting before the game to pick-up tickets.

The other day I asked my Magic 8 ball: “Will Wild ticket prices go up?” The answer was: “unclear, try again later.” Just like the Wild playoff future.
