LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The Vegas Golden Knights are pulling an all-nighter to sell ticket deals to VGK home games.
It’s running from 12 Noon Thursday Aug. 14 to 1 PM Friday Aug. 15 at T-Mobile Arena.
The Golden Knights typically sell out their home games, where fixed-seat capacity is 17,367. The VGK average per-game attendance was 17,975 during the 2024-25 NHL season, which was the lowest in Knights franchise history since the team started in the 2017-18 season.
It was the first time that average game attendance dipped below the 18,000 mark, though attendance was still more than 100 percent of the 17,367 capacity. T-Mobile Arena will also say its hockey capacity is 17,500.
This is the ninth season for the Golden Knights and they’re keeping the arena open for 25 hours straight with activities and chances for fans to check out season tickets, suites, premium seating and even single-game tickets.
According to Team Marketing Report for the 2022-23 NHL season, the Golden Knights’ average ticket price was the fifth highest in the 32-team National Hockey League at $124.09 a ticket. Two years later, it’s fair to say the average VGK ticket is likely above $125 a ticket in 2025.
While VGK home games are technically shellouts, there are no shortage of Golden Knights tickets for games at T-Mobile Arena. Some savvy, cost-wise fans have spurned season ticket deals and instead choose to wait until the final minutes before VGK game puck drop to buy tickets on the secondary ticket market. Those ticket prices are often cheaper than per-game season tickets.
Taking a family of four to a VGK game is no cheap exercise. Plus, there are fees and facility improvement charges on VGK tickets.
The Knights staff will be in sell mode Aug 14-15 for the 25-hour extravaganza. Team activations include ball hockey stations, face painting, and tattoos inside the venue. The team store at T-Mobile Arena will be discounting items 25 percent off for the 25 hours.
And yoga fans rejoice. At 6 AM Friday Aug. 15, fans can participate in a yoga workout outside on the terrace level overlooking Toshiba Plaza as the sun rises (which is about 6 AM these days). And team-branded yoga mats will be given to the first 50 participants in the yoga class. LVSportsBiz.com might have to bike down for that one.
And after the stretching, you can exercise your mind with talk from VGK coaches. There will be a 7:30 AM conversation Friday morning Aug. 15 to be hosted by one of the team’s broadcasters. And here’s the top-of-the-morning kicker: free coffee and donuts.
