Price surge from last season

The most expensive ticket sold so far for the Oct. 22 opener is about $1,500, while a floor seat is currently listed for more than $20,000.
Fans weigh budgeting for the season
Longtime supporters expressed optimism but also realistic budgeting concerns. “I’ve been trusting the process,” said Christopher Antich of Rittenhouse. “If we’re going to be in the playoffs, you gotta budget 5, 10 thousand dollars,” he added, reflecting the high‑end market for premium seats.
Tips for cost‑conscious fans
Ticket experts advise shoppers to compare listings across platforms, avoid unsolicited offers on social media, and consider waiting until the night before or the morning of a game to purchase tickets, when prices may dip as early‑season excitement eases.
