AUBURN HILLS, Mich. --- On Thursday, April 10, starting at 10:00 a.m. the Detroit Shock will make individual game tickets for their 2008 regular season available. Tickets can be purchased at The Palace Box Office, online at www.detroitshock.com
Tickets in various price ranges will be available at all outlets. Lower level tickets are available for as low as $10 and courtside VIP tickets start at $65.

For $25 per seat, fans that purchase tickets in this section get all the hot dogs, pop corn, nachos and soda they can eat and drink. There is a limit of 200 tickets that will be sold each night. "The All-You-Can-Eat concept has been well received in several other sports arenas and stadiums," said Craig Turnbull, Detroit Shock COO. "Each year we add a few new elements and, with the success that other markets have had with this promotion, we think it's a natural for the Shock. If fans enjoy it, we hope to continue for the entire season." Also this season, the Shock will feature Family Nights on Opening Day and for every Sunday home game. The $59 package includes four lower level tickets, a $20 Palace gift card and a family photo on the Shock court.
