Playoff tickets in your city?

[Unspecified]

Supply and demand. Toronto has enough rich people that will pay exorbitant prices to attend games. Florida doesn't have that problem which is why fans can get the same quality product for a fraction of what Toronto pays.

Supply and demand is such a misused statement. I went on my annual hockey trip and went to see the Bolts, Panthers and Hurricanes. Care to guess which ticket was the highest by double? Give you a hint, it wasn't the Bolts or the Panthers.

Well supply and demand definitely applies in the Toronto case which was the main point I was making. The supply of tickets doesn't meet the exceptional demand, so therefore the prices can be raised whereas in Florida's case, the demand for NHL hockey is low and the supply of tickets are high, so therefore the tickets are likely not to exceed the price of Toronto Maple Leaf tickets.

Sharks season ticket holders get their first round seats at regular season prices. Last row in the lower bowl on the blueline Sharks attack twice (102) are $115/seat. They go up 50% each round.

The Sharks also let season ticket holders buy extra strips for the entire playoffs at season ticket holder prices. I was able to buy 4 extra seats directly above my regular seats, 202 row 10. Those are $67/seat for round 1, and go up 50% each round as well.

I looked at the secondary market and my lower bowl seats were on sale to the public for about $150 before fees. Upper bowl were around $77 before fees directly from the Sharks.

Looked like plenty of inventory for the Sharks as well. I think people in San Jose just don't trust the Sharks anymore, and won't jump on the bandwagon until the 3rd round.

Im going to the Tank tonight for the sharks game, $200 center ice club 9 rows from the ice cant beat it. Waitress service and club access

 

[Hockeyholic]

Still lots of seats available too.

Yepp. Winnipeg overestimated their own market.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Boston & Toronto have more demand than supply. Thus, the reason they charge crazy prices. Winnipeg & Calgary to a lesser extent (Though both have plenty of tickets remaining) too.

Hell yea great price. See ya there!

 

[super6646]

As a season ticket holder the avs give you playoff games at your reg season price, so I have 2nd row upper level seats for 25$ a game.

What?!!!!

I’m jealous m8.

 

[Chris18820]

Just to give you an idea about how crazy ticket prices are in Toronto.
Round 1 game 3, from Ticketmaster (not resale)
Obstructed view nosebleeds, $260 USD per
There is a single on the glass, $1040 USD

AFAIK there is a waiting list of 12000 for season tickets. The renewal rate is over 99% right now, so expect to wait 50 years...

 

[PuckItUp27]

Isles seats for Game 2 friday start around $250 for a single up top last few rows

 

[Leafs87]

My company just gave me lower bowl tickets for the leafs to bring some VIP clients who know jack shit about hockey. 1999.99 USD value. The fan inside me says holy shit let’s go. The logical person inside me says sell them and bring them elsewhere . Don’t even care if I land the clients to be honest


I’m going

Definitely supply and demand in Toronto.

Lower the prices for playoff games and they could fill the arena 2-3 times over. Everyone would go.

Funny Ottawa couldnt even sell out their barn game 6 of an ECF. I think the Leafs could hold a first round game in Ottawa and if priced like some of the prices being throw around in other markets, they could sell it out, maybe twice if its on a Saturday.

We're not a rich city by any means. I was offered tickets at $240 a piece for the upper deck, then $200. $400 for a hockey game is outside my means. I think the Jets will milk what they can get, their whiteout parties are good for at least $50 000 in revenue for the team, a game, plus whatever they sell in alcohol (more than $50 000 for sure). Jets ownership will make money on one round of the playoffs. Calgary and Toronto should make a killing too.

There’s currently 4 seat licences on sale for $375,000. That doesn’t even include the tickets, just the license to get season tickets to those 4 seats.

 

[Summer Rose]

While the prices aren't too high and never have been, the Coyotes have been attempting to sell tickets to our non-existent playoff games because otherwise we'll probably end up losing around $30 million on the season.

Come on Yotes fans, do your part!

Aha believe me I’d love to bring a leafs fan with me

Ill probably be there. Last year game 3 I found a set of low purples on the corner, 300 cdn for a pair. Gotta be on kijiji the whole day waiting for that 1 deal lol

200 is the cheapest I’ve seen in Vegas for nose bleeds.

Vegas fans aren't allowed to sell (or transfer stupid e-tickets) for any playoff seats if they want a STH discount, otherwise it's 225% regular season prices (if they were locked in from the previous year) for the first round, and who knows where from there. It's about 150% regular season prices (again based on already having had a multi-year contract before the team had a name)for the first round if you agree to never sell or transfer games for the whole playoff run in advance.

 

[MotionlessGravity]

Demand is definitely down this year in WPG compared to last year. Prices for season ticket holders is pretty reasonable IMO, still on the wait list for mine. If you are a season ticket holder round 1 will run you from $72-$240 per seat.

If you do not have season tickets your official avenues to buy tickets for the games are Ticketmaster or the Ticket Exchange (people who have tickets and want to resell). Through these methods you are looking at $160-$450 per seat for round 1.

Last year Ticketmaster sold out instantly when they went live at 10am. This year there were a few hundred tickets available on both TM and the SE all week.

Went to game 1, 10 minutes before puck drop there were some empty seats but by puck drop it was pretty hard to spot any empties. From what I hear True North gives tickets away last minute to friends, families, Moose players etc.

 

[WingsFan95]

Leafs Game 3 & 4 on a Monday and Wednesday start at $300cdn each if you're getting a pair.

Laughable.

That's the most asinine elitist crap I've ever seen. Very few people have the time and the money to commit to such a package. So you're basically making it for the rich. But it's Vegas so not surprising.

 

[osgoodshlatters]

I feel like NHL hockey will always price me out as a fan, I just can't do it, pay those prices. I guess I am a 1-2 regular season games a year guy.

well you wont have to worry about playoff tickets for awhile......
