Wild Tickets


B. Amish

Recommended Posts

I've never been to an NHL game and would like to change that. I was looking at Wild ticket prices online and see that lower level seating is pretty expensive, while upper level seating seemed more in range with my checkbook.

What's it like sitting in the upper level vs sitting in the lower level? Can you still see? What about sitting on the ends vs the middle?

How far in advance do I have to buy tickets, can you get tickets at the game?

I'm honestly lost on this subject, any info would help me alot.........thanks.

Not a bad seat in the house. Sitting on ends is pretty high up but if you like to see the plays develop it is great.

The bar rail area is great. In between upper and lower. Like someone else posted there is not a bad seat in the house. The live experience is awesome. Usually you can go on line and buy that day.

I split season tickets with another guy so I go to half the games with those tickets. They are great seats, first row, upper deck, between the red and blue line. I have sat almost everywhere in that place over the past few years. The action is a lot faster down low but there are times when you can’t see what’s going on. In my opinion, if you can get something in the lower level, between the blue lines, no closer than 13 rows up, than those are good seats. Otherwise I would go with the upper deck anywhere on the sides.

I think the best way to get tickets is from the scalpers. I go down all the time on nights that my friend has the tickets and buy them from the scalpers. I get great seats in the lower level for $20 each. A few weeks ago I was in the 16th row, as close as possible to the red line, for $20 each. Just remember your 7th grade Econ class – Supply and Demand! Go down and scope out the guys that are holding the most tickets. Go to the guy that is holding the most tickets at 7:00 and ask to see what seats he has. Don’t talk to any of them until 7:00! If one of them has seats your interested in, tell them that you already have some tickets at WILL CALL but they’re in the corner and you would buy his if he’s willing to let them go for $20 each. Keep an eye on what’s going on around you. If you don’t see anyone looking to buy tickets out there but you see a bunch of scalpers selling, you can offer him even less. Remember that it’s a game of chicken and who will cave in first. The scalpers only option is to take what you will give him or go home with nothing! Scalpers have all the power to charge whatever they want before the game starts, but if you wait until game time and the demand has dropped, all that power shifts to you.

You have to be willing to go watch the game at a bar in order to have the right attitude. The closest I have gotten to that was the last Sharks game. The scalper that had the seats I wanted told me I was crazy to think I could come down and get seats for $20. I told him that my offer was $20 each and that I was going to go stand by the door. For every minute I wait my offer goes down $5 per ticket, and then I’m going to go pick up my WILL CALL tickets. The guy ran over to me to take the offer within 30 seconds!

I was going to say something to the same effect about not sitting too far down. About 12-13 rows up is right...that way you can see the whole ice.

I've sat in places that offer views from different angles...it is interesting to sit in different places. Upper deck on the ends is interesting as you can see the rotation during line changes and on power plays...kind of fun to see that different view.

Up in the corners is not bad, because you can see the whole ice, but if you can get up a little bit between the blue lines you can't go wrong.

And the previous post is right...find a local neighborhood entrepreneur and you will get a hold of some good tickets.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
