I just went on the tickets site. The $40 seats available are in the upper deck of the football stadium. They still have $189 in the lower level available and $119 past the end of the rink in the lower level available.
I passed on the tickets tough the priority process and if that means I don't get tickets in 2011 so be it. I will either but some at face from someone with extras or I won't go. But I have no interest in going to a football staduim to watch hockey just to stay on the list and $40 seats basically in Windsor did not change my mind.

Yes. The main feature of the "commemorative tickets" will be the fine
print written around the side: "I bought these to move up the list for
St. Paul and Boston."

Denis Lemieux had it right: Call Detroit, tell them bullshit.
