Fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs continue to pay the highest ticket price in the NHL, according to a report by TiqIQ, a leading resale ticket market aggregator.

The average listed resale ticket price of a Maple Leafs game at the start of this season is $373.50 (U.S.). That’s just a 3.87 percent increase over this time last season ($359.60). Canadian teams make up five of the top six spots in this report – Vancouver, Edmonton Calgary and Montreal are the others. The Chicago Blackhawks are the only American team in the top six.

Clarkson salary is not going to pay itself...


Seriously though, Toronto is a hockey hotbed as is all of Canada....Its a matter of supply and demand....

This is based on resale prices, so the thread headline is a bit misleading

There are 10 teams with cheaper tickets than the Isles?

That's a shock. I assumed we'd be the cheapest. Our tickets are so cheap!

My thoughts exactly.

I also expected to see the Rags up there in price as well.

EDIT: And by "up there", I meant top 5.

the last regular season Isles game I went to I paid under $3 a ticket. I call bull****.

Ah, that makes more sense.

It's a LEAFS hotbed. I can walk up to Marlies games and get 1/2 price tickets and sit behind the bench. (great hockey and far better value for money)

YET, I'll pay $300 per ticket for a mid-week Isles-Leafs meaningless game to sit 30-40 rows from the ice, in the corner, if I'm lucky.

It's far cheaper to drive to Long Island, stay overnight, watch the Isles play, and come home.

wtf....
Sabres resale value higher than the isles? Yet isles resale value is higher than the wings? What dimension am I in?
Damn, actually most of the teams below NYI are better teams...weird

I've paid $40 to sit in AA on the glass before, on several occasions.

Come on. I just can't believe there are 10 rinks cheaper than that in the NHL.

Weeknight games you can get tickets on stubhhb for as low as $5. I sat 10 rows from the ice against Edmonton for $13.50.

There are other teams like Carolina/Florida teams Arizona etc. that have cheap tickets like us. I think the fact that games against the rags and sometimes penguins/Philly cause the secondary market to jump might bring up our average.

Looking to go to a marlies game the weekend of the 24th where's the best place to get tickets?

walk up, there will be people selling tickets below cost out front. Many people get season's tickets and don't go to the games. They essentially sell them for half price minutes before the game.

You can also buy at the gate, at full price, and move to the front. They are rarely sold out and the ushers don't harass you.

Perfect timing for this thread. I ordered 3 tix for the home opener on stubhub about a month ago, section 327. Printed them out tonight because thats when the tix were available to print, and the ticket itself says section 337. Anybody else have any problems like this? And can stubhub do anything about this mistake?

You should let stubhub know ASAP. They have a guarantee that they will get you the same or better tickets that you ordered. I'm guessing the sooner you let them know, the easier it is for them to do something. It was probably a simple typo on the part of the seller. Regardless though, you shouldn't be penalized for it.
