CHICAGO, Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivid Seats, the largest independent ticket marketplace, today released its National Hockey League (NHL) Ticket Pricing Preview including a median price breakdown for all 31 teams, as well as a look at ticket prices for the Vegas Golden Knights, the League's newest team. Among the insights – being the reigning 2016-2017 Stanley Cup champion is no guarantee of ticket popularity during the new NHL season. While the Stanley Cup finalist Nashville Predators has the fourth-highest median ticket price of $198, the two-time consecutive Stanley Cup winning Pittsburgh Penguins have a median ticket price of only $124, a full $74 or 37 percent less than the team it vanquished during last year's finals.

"Performance during the last season is less important for ticket popularity than might be expected," said Jeanenne Tornatore, senior editor for Vivid Seats. "When the puck drops for the first time in this year's regular NHL season, fan optimism regarding the upcoming year appears to play a bigger role in ticket prices than last year's win-loss record."

TOP 10 NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE TEAMS BY MEDIAN TICKET PRICE1

Only one of four teams to play in the 2016-2017 Conference Finals – the Nashville Predators – is represented in the top 10 most popular teams based on median ticket price. Additional information includes:

  • Enthusiasm for the new Little Caesars Arena is driving demand for tickets to see the perennial favorite Detroit Red Wings, earning the team the number-eight position in the top 10 teams with a median price of $170.
