Ticket prices soar with Alex Ovechkin 1 Objective to break the record of Wayne Gretzky

If you try to watch Alex Ovechkin make history in person, prepare for a risky and expensive bet.

The Washington capital superstar scored twice on Friday evening to equalize the record of career objectives of Wayne Gretzky, and the secondary ticket market responded in kind. On Saturday morning, the cheapest resale tickets for the next Washington match, against New York Islanders on Sunday, were between $ 600 and $ 700 each.

On Stubhub specifically, the cheapest sets of two seats at UBS Arena (including costs) cost more than $ 800 each. The lower Bowle seats were, naturally, much more expensive, with a few ads affecting $ 2,000. Ticketmaster’s resale prices were in the same stadium.

It is far earlier in the week; A press release of April 3 of the Tickpick ticket reseller, sent before the capital match in Raleigh, in North Carolina, put the “Get-in” price for Caps-Isles at $ 163. It was an increase of 239% on what was once a ticket of $ 38. Since then, this number has, of course, skyrocketed.

Saturday morning, the Tickpick bass brand for Caps-Isles seats was $ 650. The resellers seem to pay attention to the result of Friday.

There are two games, the Capitals’ April 12 match in Columbus – not that of New York – was the most expensive in Tickpick’s painting at $ 256. At the time, expecting Ovechkin needed a little more time was the reasonable call. Since then, however, he has scored three additional goals, equaling Gretzky at 894 and making an April record feel like a quasi-certainty.

The Capitals calendar, without a doubt, plays a role in attention and demand; UBS Arena is an easy DC train journey, and the game is a Sunday morning.

Whenever (and everywhere) Ovechkin breaks the record, it will not be on an empty net, said capital coach Spencer Carbery on Friday evening. Ovechkin chose to take the ice after the Chicago Blackhawks pulled their goalkeeper in the last minutes on Friday.

“He wants to break the record with a goalkeeper in the fold, which I appreciate,” said Carbery.
