Dallas, Edmonton Ticket Prices Steepest as Stanley Cup Playoffs Semis Begin
Four teams remain in the chase for the Stanley Cup, and secondary-market prices show just how hungry hockey fans are to witness history. The Eastern Conference Final features the defending-champion Florida Panthers squaring off with the Carolina Hurricanes, while the Western Conference pits the high-powered Edmonton Oilers against the top-seeded Dallas Stars. Home-ice formats follow the traditional 2-2-1-1-1 split, giving Carolina and Dallas the chance to host a decisive Game 7 if their series go the distance.
The action begins Tuesday at the newly renamed Lenovo Center in Raleigh — formerly PNC Arena — and Wednesday at Dallas’ American Airlines Center. A potential Game 7 in Big D already commands an average list price just shy of $1,800, the steepest ticket of the round. In the East, Sunrise prices at Amerant Bank Arena peak at $737 should the series push to a sixth game, while early-round seats inside the “Loudest House in the NHL” sit below $400. The Panthers’ title defense clearly has fans in South Florida ready to spend, but first-time Cup bids for Connor McDavid’s Oilers and a resurgent Stars squad are driving equally strong demand in the West.
Buying options: Remaining primary inventory is available via each team’s box office and NHL.com/tickets. Fans looking to compare prices—or avoid service fees altogether—can shop resale listings at Ticket Club. Members can score seats for every round, including the Cup Final, at NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Tickets.
Florida is aiming to become the NHL’s first repeat champion since Tampa Bay’s back-to-back runs in 2020-21, while Carolina seeks its first Cup since 2006. Edmonton hasn’t lifted Lord Stanley since 1990, and Dallas last celebrated in 1999. Those long droughts—and star-studded rosters—help explain why hypothetical Cup Final home games in Edmonton and Dallas are already priced above $3,000 per seat, topping their counterparts in Sunrise.
