They had to get their wristbands Tuesday in order to obtain playoff tickets. The Wings will host the first two games in the first series. This time, Bullock was No. 2 in line.

Fans can buy four tickets for games in each round.
Third and fourth round tickets go on sale after the second round is completed. For nonseason ticket holders, there are only several hundred tickets available for each playoff game, said Red Wings spokesman John Hahn. Fans such as Karen Dumm of Belleville are just happy to get a ticket. Dumm is a longtime fan who decorated her nails with Red Wings decals. Now it's really hard to get tickets.
