The Chicago Blackhawks have started their title defense after winning the Stanley Cup last season. Winning the Cup might have come at a price for Blackhawks fans attending games. The average price for Chicago Blackhawks tickets last season on the secondary market was $199. The season started with a $314 average and has dropped slightly to $309. That’s a 2% decrease from the beginning of the season, but still 55% above the price from 2012-13. The top five games of the season are a big reason for the increase in ticket prices.

 

3/1 vs Pittsburgh Penguins @ Soldier Field: Avg Price $482 | Get-in $175

 

The most expensive game for the remainder of the season is part of the NHL’s Outdoor Series. The Blackhawks will be playing the Penguins at Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears. This represents the only game with a starting price above $100.

 

4/9 vs Montreal Canadiens: Avg Price $470 | Get-in $80

 

Close behind the price for the Outdoor Series game is the last home game of the season against the Canadiens. The $470 average price is 52% above the average for all other home games in Chicago this year.

 

3/16 vs Detroit Red Wings: Avg Price $437 | Get-in $104

 

A Sunday night game between what used to be a showdown between two of the top teams in the Western Conference has been turned into an inter-conference matchup. The Red Wings shifted to the Eastern Conference in realignment, but rivalry between these two teams still stands.

 

1/19 vs Boston Bruins: Avg Price $429 | Get-in $108

 

The Boston Bruins come to Chicago for the first meeting of these two teams since last year’s Stanley Cup Finals. Blackhawks fans will be excited to see a rematch of the two top teams in the NHL last season after a thrilling series last season.

 

3/25 vs Dallas Stars: Avg Price $414 | Get-in $69

 

This Tuesday night game against the Dallas Stars rounds out the top five averaged price games for the Blackhawks season. Although the $414 average is above average, the $69 get-in price is by far the lowest of any of the top five games this season.
