“Our very first NHL game 2017. Hockey was already a huge part of our lives, but this was the beginning of a whole new chapter. Years later, we’re still making memories, sharing adventures, and loving every minute of the game that has brought our family together. 🏒❤️#goknightsgo
There’s been quite a bit of chatter/bickering recently regarding VGK refusing to offer Stanley Cup Final tickets to season ticket holders. I’ve poked around to try and understand what is happening. Here’s what I’ve gathered.
The tickets not being offered are to authorized secondary ticket partners, not standard individual accounts. These are companies that purchase large quantities (50+) of tickets to every game and then resell them on sites other than AXS (StubHub, Gametime, TickPick, etc). These partners have held tickets for many years, including every game this preseason, regular season, postseason, and the Western Conference Final. Apparently, this is common practice not only in the NHL, but in every major sport in North America.
VGK have opted to no longer offer these tickets for the Stanley Cup Final. Instead, they will presumably release them all during tomorrow’s general on-sale, allowing all fans to buy them directly from the team through AXS.
This is why secondary tickets are currently extremely limited with fewer than 150 listings on every major resale site and the get-in price sitting above $1,200.
In theory, this is great for fans as it means large quantities will be available directly through the team tomorrow at Noon, and likely for significantly less than the current resale prices. However, it has also created a supply/demand bottleneck that is artificially propping up prices on the resale market right now, leading to confusion and inevitably many people paying way too much for seats.
Still working to gather more info, and will share if I get more but that's essentially what's happening.
@nllv_comm Looks like you are sitting right close to where my season tickets are. We share them with a group so I wasn’t there last night but was watching from my couch. So rad!
