The Tampa Bay Lightning and their fans are still licking their wounds as a result of a tough Stanley Cup Finals loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. After a triumphant effort in Game 7 against the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Lightning fell four-games-to-two to the champions.
But the page is turned, and with the release of next season’s schedule, the Lightning move forward. Tampa Bay Lightning tickets on the secondary market have started to surface with the schedule release, so below is a look into the team’s most expensive games next season. When looking at the prices of these games this early, think about the get-in price being a more realistic number as the game approaches, as there is a lot of fluctuation in this time period.
Most Expensive: 3/15/16 | Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | Air Canada Centre | Average Price: $885.41 | Get-in Price: $182
2/29/16 | Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | Air Canada Centre | Average Price: $705.71 | Get-in Price: $182
12/15/15 | Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | Air Canada Centre | Average Price: $597.65 | Get-in Price: $183
The three most expensive Lightning tickets are against the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre, according to TiqIQ.com. These average prices will surely drop from their high marks. The get-in prices around $180 are a better barometer of where these games will wind up when the date approaches, which makes sense, considering how the diehard Toronto fanbase will be itching to go toe-to-toe with the Eastern Conference champs to see how their team matches up.
4/5/2016 | New York Rangers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | Madison Square Garden | Average Price: $597.65 | Get-in Price: $71
A rematch of the Eastern Conference Finals appears, as the Blue Shirts look to get a small piece of revenge from their Game 7 loss to the Lightning. Everything was lined up perfectly for the Rangers to make back-to-back trips to the Stanley Cup Finals, but home ice and Henrik Lundqvist’s stellar Game 7 record just wasn’t enough.
10/24/2015 | Chicago Blackhawks vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | United Center | Average Price: $290.14 | Get-in Price: $115
This Stanley Cup Finals rematch will have some different parts to it after the NHL’s free agency period is over, but will still carry the same weight between the two clubs. The Lightning won’t gain anything more than a regular season win for this one, but may help the fans for a day after the deflating Stanley Cup loss.
