The Columbus Blue Jackets couldn’t create back-to-back playoff appearances, as they fell nine points shy of the final playoff position in the Eastern Conference. The Blue Jackets dug themselves in an early hole after finishing with a 2-9-2 record in November, and despite going 16-4-1 in March and April to close the season, it simply wasn’t enough.
But they’re hoping their strong play in the final months parlays into something special next season, in effort to return to the playoffs. Recently, the NHL released its schedule for next season and it’s never too early to look at some of the top matchups for the campaign. With secondary market ticket prices from TiqIQ.com, below are some of the most expensive Blue Jackets tickets for the 2015-16 season.
Most Expensive: 4/6/2016 | Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Columbus Blue Jackets | Air Canada Centre | Average Price: $774.16 | Get-in Price: $163
1/13/2016 | Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Columbus Blue Jackets | Air Canada Centre | Average Price: $668.75 | Get-in Price: $173
Looking at secondary market ticket prices this early has its faults, as the first round of prices isn’t exactly a realistic predictor of what the prices will be as the game approaches. The get-in prices of $163 and $173 for these two games against the Maple Leafs are better representations of where the pricing will be. Either way, the games will remain high on this list being in Toronto, which has a diehard fanbase that always fills the seats.
10/10/2015 | New York Rangers vs. Columbus Blue Jackets | Madison Square Garden | Average Price: $411.67 | Get-in Price: $142
Madison Square Garden is one of the premier venues in the NHL and will always draw attention, no matter what time of the season it is. The Blue Jackets head into MSG in October to face the New York Rangers, who look to dust themselves off after narrowly missing out on back-to-back Stanley Cup appearances.

3/26/2016 | Nashville Predators vs. Columbus Blue Jackets | Bridgestone Arena | Average Price: $364.33 | Get-in Price: $183
The Nashville Predators are one of the NHL teams that are on the rise. The Predators made the playoffs last season for the first time since the 2011-12 season and are looking to string consecutive playoff appearances together like they did from 2009-2012. Bridgestone Arena proved to be one of the tougher places to play around the league and the club will look to improve upon their 47 wins from last season. Goalie Pekka Rinne played like a star last season.
