Great for ticket sellers, that is.
StubHub spokesman Cameron Papp tells RedEye the average cost of a ticket to Monday night’s Game 3 clocked in at $1,060. For Wednesday night’s Game 4, that average price jumps 20.9 percent to $1,282. Should the series go to a sixth game, which would be played at the United Center next Monday, that number climbs nearly $300 to $1,575, or 48.6 percent higher than the cost of a ticket to Game 3. By comparison, data from apartment rental site Zumper shows the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Chicago is $1,780.
“In terms of sales, home games for the Blackhawks this year are up 14 percent compared with 2013’s Stanley Cup” Final, Papp said via email.
But while the average Stanley Cup Final ticket will set you back about a month’s rent, there are deals—by comparison—to be had, provided you’re willing to compromise on things like, well, not having a seat.
Standing-room-only tickets to Game 4 started around $330 as of Monday night on StubHub. If you want the luxury of having an actual seat, that’s going to cost you more than double, with the cheapest available seat, a single in Section 306, going for around $710.
Papp said the key to getting in without sacrificing an arm and a leg is to hang out around the United Center and let the market wait itself out.
“We do tend to see prices drop as it gets closer to game time, but for events that are in such high demand, anything can happen,” he said. “We always recommend that buyers download StubHub’s app and set a price alert so when the price changes, they will be notified immediately.”
