I got shut out of the ticket lottery and the general public sale on Monday morning. Is anyone here at DetroitYes willing to sell their tickets for Game 1 or 2 at face value? I'd love to get Standing Room Only or Skyline tickets. If you can help me out, please e-mail me at hpjohnson@verizon.net. Thanks. | ||

You can buy them from the box office. All you have to do is buy $880 worth of Wings tickets to go with them.  http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs .dll/article?AID=/20061018/NEW S99/61018023 | ||

Smart move -- a few years ago Mike I. should have used the Wings to move Tigers tickets! | ||

Norm... at face value?? Now if you had some extra tickets to any of these games, would YOU sell them at face value?? I appreciate the sincerity of your request but at this point, it's almost like asking to get a mint Corvette for $20. | ||

Smogboy, Yes, I would sell them for face value if I had tickets and couldn't use them. Heck, I've given tickets away for free outside Comerica when we couldn't use them before. I just thought I'd see if anyone was willing to sell them for face value. Couldn't hurt to ask. | ||

Like Norm said, no harm in asking. To confirm Norm's story, I have had someone give me tickets outside Comerica before. I think the Tigers lost 119 games that season. Norm, I bet that you have never given away World Series tickets before.... | ||

Upinottawa, I have never given WS tickets away because I've never had any - but I would sell them for face value if I couldn't use them. I also gave tickets away to two games this season when someone in out party couldn't make it. I've had people do it for me before, so I figure why not do so for others. | ||

I agree with no harm in asking. But I also think that with as much as this town has suffered for nearly a generation of watching horrid baseball, the tickets to any of these games will be cherished like the golden tickets to see Willy Wonka's factory. I wish you well in the attempt to get tickets. There is something to be said for sincerity. Good luck. |
