LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The Vegas Golden Knights open Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs with home games against the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday and Thursday, with Games 3 and 4 in Edmonton May 10 and 12.
The Golden Knights dispatched the Minnesota Wild and Marc-Andre Fleury in six games in Round 1, while the Oilers defeated the Los Angeles Kings in the first round for a fourth consecutive year.
Here’s the Knights-Oilers game schedule:
Ticket prices for the second round of the payoffs increase and the percentage increase varies.
For example, a VGK season ticket holder said her lower bowl seat for the Oilers-Knights costs $520 per game, up from $314 a game at T-Mobile Arena when the VGK played Minnesota.
This fan told LVSportsBiz.com said some season ticket holders in the upper level saw their game ticket cost double for the Edmonton-Vegas series, while others experienced only a $15 per ticket increase.
Sometimes, the best strategy is to hold off buying tickets on the secondary market until right before the game starts.
But ticket prices do increase from round to round in the playoffs, with the National Hockey League receiving a certain percentage of the ticket revenues.
