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

Minnesota Wild miss NHL Playoffs
Talk about a kick in the gut.
I am sure it was an automated email, but someone should have switched it off. The Wild aren’t going to the playoffs, there should be no playoff tickets for sale and I didn’t want to think about it when I opened my email. All I have to say is: Game Over.

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
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.

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
