The Colorado Avalanche’s heart-pumping overtime win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Stanley Cup Final Game 1 Wednesday has pumped up the prices for secondary market tickets for Game 2 set for Saturday at Ball Arena.

LVSportsBiz.com’s check of ticket resale companies’ websites shows the least expensive Avs-Bolts Game 2 ticket is $630. The cheapest reseller ticket on the day of Game 1 Wednesday was slightly less than $500.

StubHub had tickets starting at $740

SeatGeek.com has a ticket starting at $637 for Saturday.

When the Finals move to Tampa for Games 3 and 4, the secondary market shifts bigtime, too, dropping reseller tickets to as low as $307 for the third game at Amalie Arena Monday.

Greg Cohen, vice president for growth for ticketiQ observed, “Ticket prices for game 2 in Colorado are up 5 percent since their game 1 victory.

“Prices in Tampa are lower because this is the third time in a row for them so there is less excitement than in previous years. We’ve seen this trend in all of the major sports leagues for teams that make/win the championship multiple times in a row. “
