$149 for a Single Game Ticket at the New Arena?

So it begins... Fans don't even have their season tickets (and won't until September), but the first signs of "secondary market" tickets are showing up online (StubHub, in this instance). Ticket resellers have apparently identified UNO Hockey as a potentially lucrative ticket. (Although we'll have to see if this actually plays out.)

 

A trio of seats in Section 222 (upper bowl, shoot-once end) are being offered at surprisingly high rates. Pretty bold pricing. I would be shocked if anyone pays those rates. But it's interesting to see tickets already being offered for resale, given that we're more than four months out.

It also brings out into question exactly who is buying these tickets -- "good-hearted souls" who truly enjoy UNO hockey, or mercenaries wanting to make a buck???

While I think there will be a legitimate resale market for tickets, I'm not sure that $99-$149 for a single game ticket will be supported.


Update: As of July 28, the lowest asking price for tickets is at $99...but we expect some of those to increase -- especially for the North Dakota series, once single game tickets go on sale Aug. 3.

Update: As of Oct. 9, the lowest asking price for tickets for the opening game is $59.
