Stars Game on a Whim

Yes, you can get into a sold-out Stars game at the last minute. I tried it Saturday for the Red Wings game. Got on the train and went down with a few bucks in my pocket but no ticket. The first wino-looking scalper I approached at the AAC would sell them only two at a time.

Half hour before game time, I go to the box office. I flash my StarCenter VIP card and say I want a half-price ticket, best they have. A man with a clipboard standing behind the ticket vendor says the half-price deal (did you know we get those?) doesn't apply on Saturdays, but he'll cut me some slack. They sell me a half-price ticket for $49.50.

I sit here, 10 rows off the glass:



Too bad the Stars didn't show up.
