Long Week

I have a feeling that it's going to be a slow week down here at Ticket King St. Paul. After last week's whirlwind of a crazy hockey and basketball schedule around the Twin Cities venues, it's pretty dead around town. There's literally nothing.going.on. At least until Saturday, when Jay Leno will performing at Mystic Lake and Sunday when the Timberwolves take on the New Jersey Nets. Next week, however, is a different story. Our Minnesota Wild come home on Tuesday to the Xcel Energy Center to take on their arch rival, the Vancouver Canucks in one of only three regular season home games left this season. They're hanging on, and with Marian Gaborik back on the Minnesota Wild roster, they actually might have a shot at making it to the NHL playoffs, if they really want to. Although captain Mikko Koivu is possibly out for the rest of the season with an injury sustained in Sunday's game against the Edmonton Oilers, which could definitely hurt the morale of the team. That being said, next Tuesday's game is going to be a clincher, and we've already moved a ton of tickets for that game. So if you want to be in on the action - which, obviously, you do - give us a call or check out the website and buy Minnesota Wild tickets today!

WCHA Madness

This week has been a jumble for Ticket King Saint Paul and Ticket King Minneapolis. I've been working between the two offices, and luckily Ticket Kristy has been able to come in and cover the St. Paul office while I've been gone. The NCAA tournament is a really big deal this year, and it happens to be coinciding with the WCHA tournament, which starts tonight at the Xcel Energy Center. Tonight's series has the Minnesota Golden Gophers facing off against the UMD Bulldogs. And we've sold out of Minnesota hockey tickets for tonight's game! This game determines whether or not our Gophers will be playing through the rest of the tournament this weekend, so Gopher fans are pretty hyped up to go to the game to support the team.

Even though we're totally sold out for tonight's event, we do have Gopher hockey tickets (and WCHA tickets to all the games for that matter) available, just check out our website or give us a call at 651-298-8100.

Ticket King on St. Patty's Day

Wow. That's about the only word that any of us at Ticket King St. Paul can come up with to describe St. Patrick's Day on West Seventh Street. Last night was complete mayhem, and the city now reeks of booze. But I think that patrons on West Seventh definitely enjoyed their St. Patrick's Day. Bonus: The Minnesota Wild beat the Colorado Avalanche last night, tying the game just minutes before it ended and kicking some major booty in the shoot out. Props to the Minnesota Wild roster.

This Sunday, the Minnesota Wild take on the Edmonton Oilers at the Xcel Energy Center in one of the final five home games of the regular season. And they actually still have the ability to make the playoffs this year, despite their lousy play over the last couple of months. Fans seem to still be supporting the team, we only have SIX tickets left for Sunday's game, so if you're looking for some Minnesota Wild tickets for this weekend, act fast!!

NCAA @ the Dome

Today is a crazy day at Ticket King! The teams were announced for the NCAA tournament at the Metrodome, and North Dakota fans are going crazy for NCAA basketball tickets! The Dome is definitely not my favorite venue to watch college basketball, but March Madness is March Madness, and Minneapolis is going to be taken over by college basketball fans despite where the tournament is being held.

Apparently, this is the first year that NDSU has even been eligible for the tournament, and they made it through to the first round, which has the fans all riled up. And with the Fighting Sioux in the WCHA tournament at the Xcel Energy Center this weekend as well, I have a feeling that there is going to be a lot of green around the Twin Cities all weekend long. Get ready for college sports fever, guys!

And if you're looking for great Metrodome tickets or Xcel Energy Center tickets to ANY event, give us a call at the King!

HS Hockey Tournament

Yes, it's already that time of year again. The time of year when West Seventh Street is taken over by bunches and bunches of excited teenagers as they flock to the Xcel Energy Center to watch the High School Hockey Tournament. Down here at Ticket King Saint Paul, we absolutely love this tournament. The fan support is amazing, and we love seeing all of the team spirit hanging around St. Paul. And if you're looking for awesome Minnesota hockey tickets so you can get in on all the action this weekend, you're in luck! TicketKing has the best selection of high school hockey tickets in town, all you need to do is check out the website, give us a call at 651-298-8100 or come visit us at 186 West Seventh Street!

Pernicotti

Down here at Ticket King St. Paul, we have ourselves a new love. That love comes in the form of Pernicotti Italian Chocolates from Cossetta's. They melt in your mouth and can turn a really bad day into a really good one. They're that fabulous, and that's some powerful stuff. So on a day like yesterday, when we're all still recovering from the loss of an hour over the weekend, we make a little pit stop across the street for a little pick me up to go on the side of our coffee. Or, on a day like today, when it's super gloomy outside and the weatherman is predicting four inches of snow, and you really wish you were lying on a beach in Mexico, we run across the street for a little slice of bliss. Basically what we're trying to get across here is that the next time you stop in at TicketKing Saint Paul to buy Minnesota Wild tickets, take an extra minute to grab a Pernicotti across the street. It's a treat that can't be missed.

March = Tournaments

Down here at Ticket King St. Paul, we always know that with the start of the month of March comes the start of high school tournament season at the Xcel Energy Center. The streets of St. Paul become overrun with high school kids, who occasionally drop by to tell me that I "don't look a day over 21". Sadly, it does make me feel a little less old. But that's beside the point. This week/end is the boys wrestling tourney at the X, and I'm actually a little surprised at the number of people that have been flooding West Seventh in the last two days. I don't remember it being quite so crazy down here last year for the wrestling tournament, although our neighbors at the W. 7th Bistro have informed us that the wrestling tournament actually draws a larger crowd than the hockey tournament! To be honest, I've always noticed more fans down here for the boys state hockey tournament.

And if you're looking for High School Hockey Tournament tickets, WCHA tickets or Minnesota hockey tickets in general, Ticket King St. Paul has what you're looking for! Give us a call or check out the website today!
