This was a major story when Kobe retired a few years ago. Stubhub and similar sites just took the sellers side and canceled the order as they were "listed incorrectly"
StubHub Canceled A Fan’s Tickets To Kobe Bryant's Last Game When Their Value Increased 664%
I would expect the same thing to happen when a date is announced. Stubhub gets more out of screwing the buyer and letting the seller relist the original tickets for a higher price/higher commission.
Thanks for sharing the article. This is exactly the situation I could see happen but as the article described, Stubhub ended up coughing up enough compensation for the guy to attend AND they admitted handling it improperly. I’m not saying they would do anything different in a similar situation but it would be another public relations nightmare if they just canceled the sale because the price went up. I’m sure I’m not the only one who would make a stink.
One reason they might do it 2/24 is that it is after the Olympics and Frolunda’s schedule doesn’t resume until 3/2. He might be able to attend.

So way back in March of 2020, I had to cancel a 30th birthday trip to the UK and Ireland with my wife and a few friends. Was obviously super bummed about it, but Im pretty much over it now. My wife says to me she will buy me tickets to the game where they retire Henrik Lundqvist's number as a make up 30th birthday present.
Hank is obviously the first real superstar I watched for his entire career, and he is largely responsible for the best years of ranger hockey in my conscious life, so this really means a lot to me.
Fast forward to this year. Henrik Lundqvist has retired and his number will be retired this season likely in late February, Early March. It just so happens that we have twins on the way due March 11th, and twins usually come early.
long story short, I won't be going to Hank's retirement, but its for the best reason, and I couldn't be happier about it.
PS if one of the babes is a boy, his name will be Henry. Hank for short.
thanks for coming to my ted talk

This happened to me one time. I saw tickets listed for 100$ a pop behind the Miami heat bench for theor season opener against the mavs after they lost the finals in that lockout year. It was a christmas game. Anyway i scooped up the 4 tickets. 3 days later i got a call from StubHub saying they couldn't sell me the tickets but provided me tickets that were pretty good.
I think stubhub had an error on those tix and were missing a 0.

Feeling it
I also bought a pair on 3/2 from SH
Wouldn't be surprised if that's Hanks night and also wouldn't be surprised if my tickets aren't released to me.

That game is going to be on TNT.
I feel like Hank's retirement night will definitely be on a night that MSG has broadcasting rights.

ah f***. I went after the 3/2 game. The caps game is espn.
could be LA before the Olympics. They could get everyone watching before the Olympics distracts

You never know, the Rangers could ask TNT to take them off that game or something but I wouldn’t bet in it.
I’d look for weekday games that aren’t on National Broadcasts, against an opponent that might not be that interesting.

Really hope its not the game vs LA honestly given that they're the reason we didn't win a cup with Hank.

Think I managed to snag these from my aunt’s season tickets so I’m pretty hyped.
Got some from Ticketmaster this morning. Verified resale. Do you think I'll have any issue with them releasing the tickets to me? Whoever listed them definitely didn't have Henrik's retirement night priced in...

bought tickets a week ago from a STH for this game, totally not even knowing this was happening.
no take backsies still works in this case, right?

I got extraordinarily lucky that one of my friends (an Islander fan actually, and the guy who got me into hockey), saw the announcement & texted me as soon as he did. Ticketmaster still error'd the first 6 attempts i made to buy a ticket lol

If you have the cash, just get the weekday mini plan with that game. Lots of seats still open for mini plans. That plan isn't even that bad either. You get a few Friday games, including the Hank game, Montreal is in there, so is Toronto. Flyers, Pens, and Canes divisional games. Would have to bite the bullet and take the NJ preseason game on October 6. Of course you need to make sure you can afford that, but the cheapest ones are about $117 per ticket.
If you want to, you could probably buy that plan, sell the Hank game, and make back a bunch of what you paid and have tickets at a reduced price for the remaining 9 regular season games.
