LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The Vegas Golden Knights like when you buy your tickets straight from the team.
But if you’re not going to buy tickets directly from the Golden Knights, which routinely sell out T-Mobile Arena, the VGK will not mind if you buy tickets through a ticket alert on your mobile phone administered by Golden Knights partner Pogoseat.
The ticket deals are decent. If you signed up for the VGK Pogoseat mobile phone alert, you would have been informed before Valentine’s Day that you could buy tickets for the Golden Knights’ next home game against the Vancouver Canucks Saturday via the text for $49 for upper level seats, $79 for mezzanine and $169 for lower level. An important feature to the deal is that there are no fees, so that makes these prices very competitive with those on the secondary ticket market.
Pogoseat’s VGK tickets competes against the VGK Ticket Exchange, which sells resale tickets. ButVGK Ticket Exchange’s final prices includes those fees and taxes that can jack up the price by another 35 percent or so.
Here’s a look at those same Saturday night VGK-Vancouver tickets with prices starting at $70, but you have to add those fees and taxes:
Another option is waiting until the last minute to see what the best prices are on secondary ticket market websites like SeatGeek, StubHub or Vivid Seats.
But Pogoseat’s text came before Valentine’s Day and the company used that day’s love powers to try and convince fans to buy tickets: “The quest to find the perfect Valentine’s gift ends here! This year, sweep that special someone off their skates with an unforgettable night of thrilling VGK action. Secure tickets for that special person in your life for the VGK-Canucks showdown on Saturday, Feb. 22 at 7 PM at T-Mobile Arena.”
The Golden Knights are filling T-Mobile Arena at an attendance capacity percentage of more than 102 percent and is typically at the top or near the top in attendance capacity percentage in the National Hockey League.
