Minnesota Wild, Grand Casino Arena Switch To New Ticket Partner

If you've bought a ticket to anything at Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul lately — a Minnesota Wild game, a concert, Monster Jam — you've probably gone through Ticketmaster to do it. That's about to change.

The Minnesota Wild announced this week that they're partnering with SeatGeek as the official primary ticketing partner for the team and Grand Casino Arena.

That new partnership will not only be in place for tickets to Wild hockey games but also for all events at Grand Casino Arena, as well as the nearby Roy Wilkins Auditorium and Saint Paul RiverCentre, making SeatGeek the one-stop shop for nearly everything happening on the campus.

What The Switch Means For Ticket Buyers

So what does it mean for you? The switch officially takes effect July 1. Tickets for events through July 19 will stay on Ticketmaster, while anything after July 20 moves over to SeatGeek.

Every Concert Coming (So Far) To Grand Casino Arena In St. Paul, Minnesota

For years, Minnesota music and Minnesota Wild fans knew the downtown St. Paul Arena as the Xcel Energy Center. It had become one of the most beloved concert venues in the upper Midwest.

After a name change, the building at 199 West Kellogg Boulevard is now known as Grand Casino Arena. However, one thing hasn't changed at all: the arena's ability to attract world-class performers and deliver unforgettable nights for fans across Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The 2026 lineup currently booked at Grand Casino Arena is loaded, spanning rock, pop, country, R&B, and classic hits from some of the most legendary names in music. There's even a huge pop star already confirmed for 2027!

Whether you're planning a summer night out or looking ahead to fall, or even the Holiday season, there's something on this schedule worth circling.
