On the eve of the Vegas Golden Knights’ first playoff game since 2021, the team’s ticket sales vendor informed fans who signed up for the text alert service that there are a “very limited number of $50 upper level standing room tickets” for Tuesday’s Game 1 matchup between the VGK and Winnipeg Jets.

The Knights typically sell out T-Mobile Arena’s 17,367 fixed seats, but the NHL team can sell another 1,000 plus standing room only tickets in spaces like the upper level, Hyde lounge and castle level between the lower and upper bowls.

For Tuesday’s game, the company hired by the Golden Knights to send the ticket alerts, Pogoseat, told fans in bold letters and an exclamation mark that there are no fees.

The T-Mobile Arena doors will open 90 minutes before puck drop during the Stanley Cup playoffs, compared to 75 minutes during the regular season.

Before the game on the arena plaza Tuesday, there will be temporary tattoos and beard dyes/hair styling, while the rally towels will be back on each seat.
