Hi all - not familiar with this board but hoping there are some active members who can lend some insight.
I’m from Ohio, been a Flyers fan for about 10 years now. Never been to Philly (let alone a game there). November 29th I am planning on attending my first one.
Here’s what I’m wondering... because the trip will be a good amount of money (hotel, maybe a car, tickets, beers...), I’m trying to get my tickets as cheap as possible.
My plan is to wait until the day of and get them electronically as cheap as possible off stubhub.
Does anyone have any experience with this? And just as importantly, if this plan fails for some reason, are tickets always available the day of? Can I just buy them at the stadium right before the game?
Any insight would be really appreciated.

You can definitely get them day of the game on StubHub. There’s usually scalpers floating around the stadium as well.
The Black Friday game unfortunately is typically a pretty expensive one as it’s a popular game. Prices will also depend on how the Flyers start the season.
I’d wait till season ticket holders get their tickets in hand (beginning of September), and take a look at StubHub then. That will give you a good idea what you’re looking at once the general public starts selling their tickets. After that, it’s just going to depend on how the Flyers are playing whether prices go up or down - so you can factor in whether you want to take the risk.
You might also want to keep an eye out when the Flyers open up their single game sales as for more expensive games it can be better to get them straight from the source rather than resale if possible. I believe that’s usually beginning of September as well, but don’t quote me (I have season tickets so I don’t pay that close of attention).
Just out of curiosity, what part of Ohio are you from? I actually spent a little more time growing up in Ohio than I did Philly area, although I grew up in both places.
