This construction isn't a traffic issue. At least not yet. If you want to avoid it anyways get off at Dougall (1 exit prior), take Dougall to EC Row Expressway West and get off on Huron Church going North will bring you to the bridge. You can also take Dougall into downtown and take the tunnel but customs is usually faster at the bridge and easier access to highways at the bridge.

So apparently a whole bunch of emails went out today giving people access to buy more Winter Classic tickets.
So it appears as though there are still tickets left available.
I think this will be a rather unique situation - big event, massive interest, but I also think that those wishing to go who don't currently have tickets, should be able to pick up tickets at relatively decent prices closer to the event, as I know there will be people who back out due to travel, etc.
My advice for those that are hell-bent on going but don't have tickets, is to assume that tickets will become available and at the very least sort out some accomodation for youself. Some people are saying today that most of the hotels are already fully booked which doesn't surprise me.

as fun as it is going to be, not being in a city with any reasonable accomodation is going to result in exactly what you see is going to happen. pain to get to, not able to drink because you have to drive there and back etc.
as to sneaking booze in, not sure how strict they are about booze....i recall normal UM games are no booze even in the stands so not sure how they are going to sell beers at teh game anyway...
anyone know if big house is typically a dry house for game?

I believe it is, but they have approved the sale of liquor for the Winter Classic.

There will be alcohol served at the venue.
And yes - that's why I feel that there will be many tickets available nearer to the event, as many people will back out and look to offload their tickets without making a huge buck off of it.

Yeah they're filling up fast. I think what a lot of the hotels are doing is reserving a bunch of rooms and then closer to the date, releasing them at a considerable mark-up. Pretty greasy.
My buddies and I are staying a a HoJo in Ann Arbor. Look for the really drunk guys from Toronto. lol

Is anyone going for the AHL game as well? I have 4 tickets available at face value if anyone is interested.
I got the OHL tickets and Im having trouble trying to get rid of these BELOW face value
I'm going with my parents, aunt, uncle, and cousins. We'll be driving. I don't know exactly what date we're going because part of it depends on my parents jobs. Probably on the 30th or early on the 31st. We're seeing the alumni game too and I'm pretty sure that's the 31st. We are staying at the Renaissance Centre, which I think is actually in Detroit but we have a package of some sort so get a transfer to Ann Arbor.
So excited! We were supposed to go last year and I was so upset it was cancelled. #lookoutblues

For those that want to go just for the game. I plan to do this. I decided to drive from Toronto and then spend the night in Detroit is just way too expensive and I am not even sure I could get from Detroit to the stadium.
Seems like a decent price for transport only.
