There are no view and standing room only tickets available on the secondary ticket market if you want to be inside T-Mobile Arena for tonight’s much-anticipated championship banner-raising ceremony before the VGK season-opener between the Golden Knights and the Seattle Kraken.

The VGK’s own reseller site has a ticket range starting at $68 as of 11:30AM Tuesday.

 

Here are tickets on the Seat Geek and VividSeats sites.

 

 

The ticket website TicketIQ came up with the NHL teams with the most expensive secondary market tickets and the Golden Knights came in second, right behind the Seattle Kraken. The Seattle market is an expensive market and the Kraken are coming off an exciting postseason performance that included knocking out the Cup-winning Colorado Avalanche and taking the Dallas Stars to seven games.

 

Here is your Vegas roster for tonight. You will notice that starting defensemen Zach Whitecloud and Alec Martinez are on injured reserve.
