It's bizarro world!!
Who would have thought this 3-5 years ago?
We had discussion several months ago about how empty/quiet Joe Louis Arena has become for Wings games and the troubles that they were having selling tix. http://wtfdetroit.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5498

Buy 20 Wings tickets, and you can buy World Series tickets

Couldn't get World Series tickets for games 1 and 2? All you have to do is buy 20 Red Wings tickets.
Select 20 or more single seats in any combination (20 seats for one game, 10 seats for two games, etc.). That will qualify you to purchase two side-by-side seats to Game 1 (Saturday) or Game 2 (Sunday) at Comerica Park.
Seating is limited for both Red Wings and Tigers games. The offer is only available by calling the Red Wings ticket office at 313-396-7575, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m-5 p.m. Tickets are issued first-come-first-served based on availability, the Red Wings said. There are no refunds or exchanges.
Red Wings seats might not be side-by-side, but theyll be as close together as possible based on availability. Seats are $44, $54 and $76.
Tigers seating will be side-by-side, located in the outfield box, $256 per seat.
I'm not saying it's not a smart business decision, it's just a weird role reversal, and a decision that probably won't win him any fans amongst Tiger fans that don't care about the Wings.
