LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The new pro women’s hockey team in Las Vegas will be selling game tickets that will start at $43, with an average ticket of $45, said a spokesman for the team.
The Vegas Vanguards of the Professional Women’s Hockey League start play at T-Mobile Arena on Dec. 6 at 5 PM against fellow first-year expansion team the Detroit Clutch.
The PWHL is a single-entity league with billionaire financier Mark Walter owning the 12-team operation. Walter, who also owns the MLB Los Angeles Dodgers, is under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation.
The The Vanguards’ most expensive game ticket will be $128, said Nicholas Bisconti, Professional Women’s Hockey League media and community relations manager.
For ticket packages, the Vanguards ticket team will be working with Vegas Golden Knights ticket team members, Bisconti said.
Each team plays 30 games in the regular season, which ends April 18. There is an eight-team, three-round playoff system. The first round is Best-of-3 and then the conference finals and final will be Best-of-5.
The Vanguards join the re-birthed Vegas Thrill pro volleyball team and the WNBA Las Vegas Aces as professional women’s sports teams in this competitive sports market of 2.4 million residents.
