Could the Red Wings, who barely reached the playoffs, become the Cinderella team?
Some people want to see first-hand and are willing to pay.
Bill Shea of Crain's Detroit Business reports that fans now are selling their tickets for more money than they did for earlier games in this round. But the markup is lower in Detroit than Chicago.
The average home ticket price on the resale market for this round in Detroit is $234.31, which is nearly 25 percent below the entire series average of $311.70, said Chris Matcovich, director of data and communications for New York City-based TiqIQ, which aggregates tickets being sold on StubHub, Ticketnetwork, Ticketsnow and eBay.
The most expensive ticket available at 20,066-seat Joe Louis Arena now is $1,300 in Section 109, Row 1, Matcovich said.
The face value price for playoff tickets is $62 to $227 for home games.
