Even if Wings tickets were dirt cheap, I wouldn't be able to attend a Detroit home game. :( I’m a Detroit fan in Canada.

We'd have to work so many hours on top of school just to pay for the tickets and we'd be probably working during game times so it just doesn't work out for us unfortunately...

If I were home, it'd only be about a half-hour if the Lodge were pretty clear. If I weren't going to school in GR and was going to a cheaper school, I maybe would have worked harder on finding a way to make it work. Even if I had had the necessary money on top of going to school, it wouldn't have been worth it because I wouldn't be able to make many of the games from Grand Rapids. When I signed up for the waiting list, I never imagined my name would come up so quickly! I was definitely bummed.

I wanted those season tickets so bad when I got to the top of the list this summer, but my parents weren't willing to chip in for high upper bowl seats at $2100/seat plus playoffs (although if it was just playoffs, they certainly would). Hopefully someday we'll get our shot at season tickets... Matt- Yeah, it’s hard being a Wings fan and a broke college student (especially for you since you don’t live 1/2 hour away from the Joe).

The Wings generally bring out the best in opponents, so they're going to have a target on their back no matter what. Christy, that's a great post on ticket prices. I know Wings fans have it easy compared to some teams, but as a poor college student, that's little consolation! firebettman, I’d agree with you about the target thing except for the fact that teams will always be gunning for the Wings, whether or not they’re a top seed.

The Devils are moving to a new arena next year and 2000 of their premium seats are increasing 114% in price!! http://www.behindthejersey.com/2007/03/08/taking-a-look-at-nhl-ticket-prices/ The Wings prices didn't seem so bad in comparison.

They've gotta be able to go all the way, and health is the most important factor in that IMHO. Don't be blocking unnecessary shots! :) Also, if they are #1, they're going to have a big target on them, and everyone will play up against them. If they're a lower seed, people won't be building them up as much and making such a big deal about them... that way they can fly under the radar, and stay focused and will have an easier time sticking to their game... which we all know, is the best!! ;) I’d rather the Wings be completely healthy and rested going into the playoffs, than being the #1 seed.

I forgot to mention, though, that it's too bad the last week of the seasn is such a powder puff schedule, with two games each against Columbus and Chicago. Maybe that's when the Predators finally should have been, instead of March. Oh well. Yeah, a fight to the finish is just what the Wings need, I think.
