October 10 is a big date in Vegas Golden Knights history.

It was the date in 2017 of the Golden Knights’ hyper-emotional first-ever regular season home game in franchise history when the VGK scored four goals in the first nine minutes of the game against the Arizona Coyotes. A mere nine days after the horrific October 1 shooting massacre on the Strip, the game ended in a 5-2 win for the Knights.

And on this upcoming October 10 six years later, the atmosphere in T-Mobile Arena will be profoundly different.

It’s the 2023-24 season-opener following the Golden Knights’ Stanley Cup championship over the Florida Panthers in June. The game starts 7:30PM.

While that first October 10 game was a powerful blend of emotions, the October 10 coming up is expected to be a celebratory evening when the Vegas franchise unveils the Stanley Cup title banner.

To witness that championship banner at T-Mobile Arena fans who want to buy a ticket will dig deep into their pockets to attend.

The least expensive ticket on the Knights’ website as of Sunday is $372. Take a look:

 

On the secondary ticket market, it’s $250 and $275 just to get into Hyde Lounge on the Ticketmaster site. Ticketmaster’s prices start at $250 for a new view ticket at Hyde Lounge and a $275 standing room only ticket at Hyde Lounge.

Vividseats has a SRO ticket in Hyde Lounge for $201.

The NHL championship rings will not be distributed to VGK players October 10, but do expect fans to receive some kind of Stanley Cup banner swag on the season-opener when the VGK host the Seattle Kraken.
