After the Golden Knights defeated the Edmonton Oilers Monday night, the team’s ticket salesmen moved into action by notifying fans through an email and a text alert that playoff tickets were available for Friday’s Game 5 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
After the Knights beat the Oilers, 5-1, in Game 3, the VGK fired out an email blast advising fans were available for Friday’s Game 5.
Tickets start at $125, plus fees, for the Round 2 single game on Friday. Take a look as of late Tuesday afternoon:
For fans who signed up for the Golden Knights cell phone text alert program for tickets, they were pinged by VGK vendor Pogoseat Tuesday at 1 PM Vegas time. They were told that they could buy lower level seats for $260 apiece, $160 for mezzanine and $135 for upper bowl.
If the Knights win again in Edmonton Wednesday, then they will be up 3 games to one in the Best-of-7 Round 2 series and have the opportunity to clinch the series Friday.
The Edmonton-Vegas series winner plays the Seattle Kraken-Dallas Stars winner in the Western Conference Finals.
Tickets are available from extras unused by the TV networks broadcasting the game or even the National Hockey League itself. Typically, ticket prices increase from round to round as a team advances in the playoffs. The NHL also takes a share of the ticket revenues from postseason games.
