How to Buy Red Wings Tickets
The Detroit Red Wrings are one of the premiere teams in the National Hockey League. The team is extremely popular within the state and tickets tend to go fast when they go on sale. They are primarily on sale through the Detroit Red Wings web site; however, there are other ways to land a ticket or two just in case they are sold out.

Scalping
-
11
Approach a person on the outside of the stadium who says they are selling tickets.
-
12
Ask for the location of the seats, then ask to see the tickets. Do not offer any money until you have seen the tickets to make sure they are real. While looking, take note of the ticket price. It is illegal to sell tickets above face value (although this often is attempted), but you will most likely be forced into paying more.
-

Ask how much they want for them. They will most likely give you a number higher than the actual ticket price. In response, offer to give slightly less than the actual ticket price. This will give you some room to haggle.
-
14
Settle on a price. With any luck you will end up around the actual price of the ticket. Give the scalper cash and you will receive your ticket.

Tips & Warnings
People also sell tickets on online auction sites such as eBay.
Scalpers should be used as a last resort. There is no guarantee there will be scalpers outside a particular venue, and there's a chance any scalpers might not have tickets in the quantity/location you desire. You assume all responsibility when dealing with scalpers.
