Red Wings adjust ticket prices
Yes, the Detroit Red Wings have adjusted their ticket prices for the upcoming season, but considering they just won the Stanley Cup it’s not bad at all and even cheaper in some cases.
Until August 4, season ticket holders have a chance to renew their seats for the current price. After August 4, those seats will cost $2 extra. The biggest changes are as follows:
A total of 1,869 tickets for seats in the upper bowl, which were priced at $44, have dropped to $33, while some $54 seats have gone down to $44.
And the first three rows off the ice in the lower bowl, which were $85 last season, have gone up to $125 (although the Wings stress they’re still the second-least-expensive such ticket in the league).
So if you have the really nice seats, you’re going to have to pay quite a bit extra next season for your seats. But if you are in the $44-$54 range (like my family), we could see a reduced rate which is great news with the struggling economy.
The Wings’ reasoning for the change in ticket prices?
Violetta said lowering the prices for some of those upper-bowl seats — which basically run from goal line to goal line — was done after research from this past season. Many of those seats were unsold as fans simply went to the next section up and bought $22 tickets.
When the Wings brought in Violetta, we have really seen a big change in how the Wings are doing things. They started doing the $1 hot dog nights, the giveaways, allowing season ticket holders to pay as they go in the postseason, and reducing the playoff ticket prices from the previous year. It’s great to see that this reducing prices measure (in some areas) will continue into next year despite the team winning the 2008 Stanley Cup.
