from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
If you’re a Red Wings season-ticket holder, you’ll likely be receiving renewal information today….
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).
Steve Violetta, the Red Wings’ senior vice president of business affairs, said the opportunity to lock in to last season’s prices has existed since February, when the team began selling playoff ticket packages.
Violetta said renewals had been running at about 60 percent through the playoffs.
Season ticket renewals at 60%? That has to be a red-flag for the Wings organization. The Sabres announced yesterday their renewals are at 97%.
