To this point in the NHL’s existence in Utah, fans have been fortunate to have ticket options as low as $10 (bumped up to $15 in year two).
Those prices are, of course, for the limited-view seats — and when they say limited view, they mean you can only see about two-thirds of the ice. But to experience NHL hockey for the cost of a movie ticket, no one’s complaining.
But what about the playoff pricing for those same seats? At the time of this writing, the lowest-priced ticket on SeatGeek, the Mammoth’s official ticketing partner, are $182.
But how does that compare to the rest of the league?
The chart below lists the cheapest and most expensive tickets for each team’s first home playoff game. It excludes outliers, defined in this case as upper-bowl seats that cost more than premium seats.
All currency is set to USD, including Canadian teams.
| Team | Cheapest | Most expensive |
|---|---|---|
| Utah Mammoth | $182 | $2,394 |
| Colorado Avalanche | $92 | $3,533 |
| Dallas Stars | $83 | $2,204 |
| Minnesota Wild | $171 | $1,407 |
| Vegas Golden Knights | $76 | $1,767 |
| Edmonton Oilers | $167 | $846 |
| Anaheim Ducks | $110 | $3,477 |
| Los Angeles Kings | $102 | $1,072 |
| Buffalo Sabres | $464 | $7,062 |
| Tampa Bay Lightning | $122 | $3,435 |
| Montreal Canadiens | $292 | $5,892 |
| Carolina Hurricanes | $98 | $2,094 |
| Pittsburgh Penguins | $212 | $1,943 |
| Philadelphia Flyers | $310 | $1,205 |
| Boston Bruins | $183 | $2,015 |
| Ottawa Senators | $115 | $507 |
At $182, the Utah Mammoth’s cheapest first-game playoff tickets are the sixth-most expensive in the NHL and the most expensive in the Western Conference. Keep in mind that this price is for limited-view seats, which no other NHL arena has at this time.
If the Vegas Golden Knights secure at least a point in their final game as they host the Seattle Kraken Wednesday evening, they will face the Mammoth in the first round of the playoffs.
At $76, the Golden Knights have the cheapest playoff tickets in the league. If they end up facing the Mammoth, Utah-based fans might consider making the trip down I-15.
The Stanley Cup playoffs are scheduled to begin Saturday. Utah’s first-round games will be available to stream on SEG+ and Utah 16, as well as the national broadcast channels.
