Fans cheer as the Los Angeles Kings and the Edmonton Oilers hit the ice for Game 1 of first round NHL Stanley Cup playoff hockey action in Edmonton, Monday, April 22, 2024. The Oilers announced a sellout crowd for their 7-4 win over Los Angeles on Monday that opened a first-round playoff series with the Kings.
Tickets sold out within minutes for three possible games in Edmonton for the Stanley Cup final.For Game 3 on June 13, resale sites StubHub and SeatGeek have individual tickets on sale for about $1,300 and higher in the upper deck. Tickets for all three possible Edmonton games in the Oilers' battle against the Florida Panthers sold out within minutes on Wednesday, with fans clamouring to see the Oilers' first chance in 18 years to win the Stanley Cup.
Fans still hoping to play "La Bamba" for an Oilers win in person can still get seats up for resale, but they'll be shelling out a lot more. The last time the Oilers had a playoff run this deep, in 2006, Edmonton games were still hosted at the city's old north-side arena, then called Rexall Place. Now, NHL action is in Rogers Place downtown, with huge tailgate parties outside the arena in the so-called "Moss Pit."Patrick Kehdy, with the Canadian Brewhouse Group of Companies, said Edmonton hockey fans show up to watch their team no matter what, but the latest playoff excitement is on a different level.
"Saturday is going to be bananas here … It's an away game, and we're ready to do as much sales, if not more, than a home game."
