It’s finally the Stanley Cup Finals and they are HUGE!
Tips for getting the most bang for the Stanley Cup Finals Tickets buck:
- If you’re a fan that is planning to travel to see a game or two, you will probably want to head to Boston. There are more tickets available on the ticket market and prices are averaging roughly $400 less than in Vancouver.
- Tickets to early round games tend to be priced lower than later games. Tickets to games 5 & 6 average nearly $800 more than games 1-4.
- Tickets can vary by $500 or more — in the same row — so it pays to dig into the map and compare tickets.
Bruins home game tickets to the Stanley Cup finals average $1,109 (Game 3 tickets average $935, Game 4 tickets average $976, and potential Game 6 tickets average $1,416).
Tickets in Vancouver average $1,927 (Game 1 tickets average $1,430, Game 2 tickets average $1,760, and potential Game 5 tickets average $2,592).
