Not to mention, Dallas has one of the cheapest premium experiences in the league. And if you’re going to spend that much, why not get a nice break from the biting cold winter weather with a trip down south to see hockey in a much warmer climate? That all of a sudden becomes very appealing indeed. That $490 difference in just ticket price alone is almost a full round-trip flight between Dallas and Toronto. That happens to match the exact face value of the seats in that area sold by the team, and there are pairs available together from the team - unlike in Toronto. In a very similar location (behind the net, almost the exact same distance from the ice in the lower bowl), tickets would set a fan back $90 each, or $180 total, on the resale market. Single seats available in that section by the team are only about $97 at face value, but you and the person you’re going with might be rows and sections apart for the entirety of the game if you want to try to get in the building for relatively cheap.Ĭompare that to a Thursday night matchup in Dallas versus the Florida Panthers. Unlike the NBA, the NHL does not require a certain amount of affordable tickets be made available for each game.įor an upcoming Monday night game in Toronto against the Florida Panthers, a pair of lower bowl tickets behind the goal would you set you back about $337 per ticket, or $674 total, on the resale market. As most fans know, secondary ticket pricing can be much more expensive than the face value of tickets. That often leaves fans at the mercy of the secondary ticket market to attend games. At that rate, and assuming each person wants at least two tickets, it will take more than 250 years to clear the existing list.” In March, 99.5 per cent of those tickets were renewed - meaning just 77 season tickets became available for sale to the 10,000 people currently on the wait list. Take, for instance, this tidbit back in 2016 about Maple Leafs season tickets: “Toronto’s Air Canada Centre has 18,900 seats available for Leafs games, and 15,500 of them belong to season ticket holders. Teams like the Leafs, Rangers, Chicago Blackhawks, and Boston Bruins have a good portion of their seats sold on a seasonal basis - with notoriously long wait lists. If you consider the cost of attending, say, a New York Rangers or Toronto Maple Leafs game in those respective markets, it’s nearly 44% cheaper to attend a game in Dallas. Overall, it costs about 18% less to attend a NHL game in Dallas when compared to the league average. The Dallas Stars provide some of the best values when it comes to attending a NHL game: This metric seeks to standardize and compare the cost of a family of four to attend a given game in a given sport. Some numbers that might surprise and interest you, and some explanations as to why sometimes the arena has a lot of visiting team fans.Įvery year, Team Marketing Report releases a Fan Cost Index.
