Could the draft make tickets more appealing?

The NHL draft is this Friday and although the MN Wild has the number 12 draft pick for the first round Wild fans are looking for some big changes on the roster. New Head Coach Todd Richards promised that he was going to drastically alter Wild Hockey, opting for a more fast-paced "up-tempo" game. In order to do that they Wild Roster is going to have to be shaken up and some major play-makers will need to emerge.


I wonder if this more high-energy throw them to the boards approach to hockey will entice fans to come to more games and ultimately raise demand for tickets? One thing is for sure, the buzz surrounding what the Wild will do with Gaborik before he becomes a free agent on July 1st is getting juicy. With rumors flying that Gaborik has purchased a house in Vancouver, could one of the most popular Wild players being headed north to play for the Canucks?

I guess fans will just have to wait and see what comes out of this weekend and early next week, but I think we can expect more changes from Todd Richards...

Will Minnesota Wild Ticket Sales be Affected by Regime Change?

Will Minnesota Wild Ticket Sales be affected by Regime Change? That is the question lingering on the minds of the Minnesota Wild ticket staff after the announcement of new GM Chuck Fletcher and new head coach Todd Richards. Both additions to the Wild are know for their fast paced aggressive offense focused ideology.

The question is, will that fast pace bring in fans game after game or will the new bodies in the organization take time to meld and become successful? The Wild are lucky to have a history of loyal followers, selling out the Xcel Energy Center since the beginning of the Wild Franchise. But will Wild Fans continue to scoop up Minnesota Wild Tickets if the team is not competitive next year? And by competitive I mean PLAYOFF MATERIAL.

Time will tell if the Wild GM and Wild Coach change builds fan support and sells Wild tickets or cools things off in the “State of Hockey” as the Fletcher/Richards duo rebuilds the organization to their standards.

Ticket King Twitters

I just noticed that my favorite Minnesota Ticket broker, Ticket king, has added a feature to their website. It looks as though, Ticket King is going to use Twitter to announce when they have lowered ticket prices on Minnesota Wild Tickets as well as tickets to all other events. I recommend that you sign up because it sure beats having to continuously go to Ticket King's main website to monitor their prices on the tickets that you are interested in. Simply go to the Ticket King website and sign up. It only took me 3 minutes!

As a side note, is anyone else sick of not having a Minnesota Wild Coach yet?
