Detroit Red Wings Tickets

They don't call Detroit hockey for nothing. The Red Wings are the most storied hockey team of all-time having won the Stanley Cup more times than any other team. The fans are so passionate about their team and Red Wing tickets are by far the most popular in Detroit. It is the home of legend Gordie Howe arguably the leagues best player of all-time. The Red Wings have always shown a commitment to winning & in turn the fans have sold-out out Joe Louis arena for years.

The Detroit Red Wings hold the longest current playoff streak having made the playoffs a record fifteen consecutive seasons. They also have a longstanding tradition where an octopus is thrown out on the ice before the first game of the playoffs to get the fans hyped. The significance is to show that the octopus' eights legs is symbolic of the eight wins needed to secure the cup. Currently it takes more wins to win the Stanley Cup, but the tradition continues.

The Red Wings have been very successful in this decade. They won the Stanley Cup in 2002 behind stellar goaltending by Dominick Hasek & outstanding play by new additions Luc Robitaille & Brett Hull both acquired in free agency. Red Wing tickets were at an all-time high having an unbelievable string of sellouts. They would remain the gold standard in the league, but wouldn't win another Stanley Cup until the 2007-2008 seasons with a roster that included Nicklas Lidstrom, Marion Hossa and Pavel Datsyuk. They would defeat the upstart Pittsburgh Penguins and hockey town would again be enthralled with Detroit's run through the playoffs that the entire regular season would sell-out within minutes and the Red Wings would remain some of the hottest hockey tickets around.

They would parlay that success and again make it back to the Stanley Cup Finals and once again they would square off with the Penguins'; however this time they would fall losing an epic game 7. The Red Wings are still an elite team and look to continue their historic success with another deep run into the playoffs. Red Wing tickets are as popular as ever, but with numerous upstart teams looking to dethrone them, it's going to be an exciting season.
