Minnesota Wild Preseason Tickets
If you are looking for some affordable entertainment this fall, you should check out a Minnesota Wild Preseason Game. I found Minnesota Wild Tickets starting at just $10/Ticket for each of the three Minnesota Wild Preseason Games at the Xcel Energy Center. That is crazy cheap! Why not go to a Minnesota Wild Game for the same price that it costs to go see some lame movie. I will see you at the X! GO WILD!!!
Minnesota Wild Season Tickets
I didn't think I would ever see the day, but the Minnesota Wild is advertising that they still have Minnesota Wild Season Tickets for sale. It makes me wonder what happened to their "Waiting List" and whether they are going to be able to continue their continuous sell-out record. I think that the poor economy, the loss of Marian Gaborik and the inability of the Minnesota Wild to take the "next step" have all been part of the slower than usual Wild Season Ticket sales. I just hope that this isn't a sign of things to come because it wouldn't feel right to have empty seats at the Xcel Energy Center. I still prefer to buy a few of the choice Minnesota Wild games from Ticket King than shell out big money for a few Minnesota Wild Season Tickets. GO WILD!!!

Minnesota Wild Preseason Games are getting closer
It seems like it has been a while (in fact it has been a year) since there were Minnesota Wild games to put on my schedule. But with the State Fair coming to an end, hockey season is right around the corner.
The first MN Wild preseason game is September 15 against the Blues, then on September 18th and 20th the Wild play preseason games at home. Preseason games are some of my favorite, first because they the first chance to see the newest MN Wild roster but secondly because most of the time you can get great deals on MN Wild preseason tickets. With school just starting and everyones lives getting back on track from summer fun, preseason games often get overlooked by fair weather fans... leaving lots of seats for the die-hards.
I've seen tickets online for the preseason games starting as low as $28. Check out all the MN Wild Ticket deals before the prices go up!

NHL announces Top Player Lists and Wild roster members make the cut
In the past 2 weeks the NHL has released lists of the Top- 10 NHL players from Finland, Sweden, Russia, Canada, Czech Republic, Slovakia and the United States. I think the lists were an aim to boost revenue overall in the NHL, people like to come to see the "bests" at anything... and if one of the Top 10 players happens to be on your home team than how could you not go out and buy tickets to a game or two... smart marketing.
Weather it was a smart marketing ploy by the NHL or an altruistic ranking for bragging rights alone, the Minnesota Wild can be proud to claim members from the lists. The No. 1 Finnish Player was Mikko Koivu and the No. 3 spot on the list went to the Wild's Niklas Backstrom. On the Top-10 Czech players list, MN Wild free agent Martin Havlat was ranked No. 7. Two former Wild roster members: Marian Gaborick (an obvious choice) and Pavol Demitra both made the Slovakian list. With the Wild making such a good showing on "the lists" if my guess is right and this is all a way to hype ticket sales, I would suggest buying MN Wild Tickets early before there are none left!

Wild Home Opener falls on HUGE sports weekend
The MN Wild Home Opener is always one of the biggest games of the season, and subsequently one of the hardest to get good tickets to. This year will be no exception, in fact it may even be harder than usual considering the sports scheduling phenomenon that occurred. All 4 of the big Fall sports teams in Minnesota are playing big games at home starting the weekend preceding the Wild's Home Opener, my prediction is that several will make it a long weekend in the Twin Cities and buy tickets to multiple events and turn the first weekend in October into a mini-vacation.
The Sports madness kicks off with the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers football team taking on rivals the Wisconsin Badgers at the new TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday October 3rd, then the Twins play their last home game in the Metrodome (ever) on Sunday October 4th, then Monday the Vikings take on the Green Bay Packers and to round off the "weekend" the Wild play their home opener against the Ducks on Tuesday October 6th.
I know that there are still Wild Tickets out there for the home opener, but if my prediction is right and people decide to make the weekend a fall break the seats won't last, so I would Buy your home opener tickets soon!

2009-2010 Minnesota Wild Schedule Announced
Yesterday the 2009-2010 Minnesota Wild Schedule was announced. MN Wild tickets immediately went on sale and many local ticket brokers are already posting Wild tickets on their websites.
The Wild Schedule will be an interesting one, with the home opener being played against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday October 6 at 8:00. The Wild will also meet the Colorado Avalanche at home early in the season and will play the New York Rangers, the Vancouver Canucks and the Dallas Stars all at home almost consecutively about a month into the season.
New Wild Head Coach Todd Richards has promised several changes to how the Wild play hockey and seems to be holding true to his promise with changes in the roster and a new approach to play-making. Wild fans will be out in hoards early to get a look at all of the new players and the new coach, so if you were asking my advice I would suggest buying Minnesota Wild Tickets early before they sell out or the prices go up.

Gaborik Goes and Ticket Prices?
It has been quite the last few days in NHL news. The Draft last week shook teams up and re-arranged a thing or two. On the home front, Marian Gaborik's contract with the Minnesota Wild ran-out yesterday and he went into Free Agency, signing with the New York Rangers. Emotions about this loss seem to be very mixed. Some say that we should have held onto Gaborik that he was "the Wild" and as our star player we shouldn't have let him go even if he isn't healthy enough to play. This argument bases itself on Gaborik's name recognition, that even though he wasn't performing like he used to, the fans that aren't really hard-core associate Wild Hockey with him and losing him means we may lose some of those ticket sales.
However, the opposing argument says that getting rid of Gaborik even if we didn't trade him off was the best thing the Wild could do for ticket sales. By having the cap space that he took up to offer to other players, the Wild now has a real shot and cleaning up the roster and getting a team that is competitive. This argument also says that the "fair-weather" fans will come to games regardless because if they aren't glomming on to Gaborik they will find the someone else to turn into the "new-hot-Wild-player" and all will be good.
Either way, tickets are going to start to move as the season quickly approaches and one thing is for sure, when the Wild plays the Rangers there will be interesting things to be said when Gaborik's name gets called.
