Last game at the Palace?

Plenty of tickets; $24 and up on Stubhub and prices will probably drop, certainly the better seats anyway. Given that tickets for the last Wings game at the Joe start at $245, the last Pistons game at the Palace is far better alternative on the pocketbook.

So who's with me? Hit Ciccarelli's across the street and whoop it up a little then go to the game?

Kind of sad that both the Palace and the Joe close out with no playoffs.

Ticket prices will go up. Not down.

Anyone remember the last game at Cobo Hall?

I've had tickets for this for a couple weeks.

The only consolation is that you know it's the last game.

I remember our last game at the Silverdome. Dantley was a machine and gave us a 3-2 lead in the 1988 Finals. I figured when we won, Dantley was gonna be MVP of the series. That's a way to close out a building, I tellya.

1134 tickets currently left for as low as $23. Average tickets that are already below face value may not drop much, but you can bet that those $100+ seats are going to drop. Over 1000 tickets remaining the day before the event is a fair amount for an arena that seats 21,454.

By comparison, there were only 100-something tickets remaining the day before LAST Saturday's game at the Joe.

I'm going down to the wire. If I buy, I'll post here and see you guys across the street.

You guys think a lot of former players will be there?

Maybe. I've been to MANY games at the Palace over the years so the novelty of "I was at the last Pistons game at the Palace!" is worth something but not a whole lot.

I've only been to one game at the Palace, and it was in 2005. We blew out Baron Davis and the Golden State Warriors. That's how I'll choose to remember the Palace :lol:

Still, if I weren't in Montana, I would absolutely go to this last game.

Of course they did!

No grit, no heart, no hustle, no fire

Some of these guys are an embarrassment to the history of this franchise and should be **** ashamed of themselves!

Lanier, Laimbeer, Wallace, Drummond? LOL

Bing, Zeke, Billiups, Reggie? GTFOH

Meanwhile Stanley Johnson can't get 20 minutes each and every night? He's more of a Piston than most guys on the roster FFS
