The best seats for Game 5 are $46k, here’s what you could get instead

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Tickets for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in Las Vegas are still available, albeit from resellers, although the costs to watch the Vegas Golden Knights take on the Florida Panthers may be more than most people would consider spending.

According to the official ticket broker Ticketmaster, the most inexpensive single ticket will cost $500, and there’s a huge catch. That ticket is in the Hyde Lounge at T-Mobile Arena. According to the ticket seller, there is “no view of ice” and “no seat” with the listing promising “standing room only.” That would equate to $1,000 for two tickets to get inside the arena but not to watch the game in person.

The most affordable ticket with an actual seat and a view of the ice on Ticketmaster will run $1,319 per seat for the vantage point from section 212, row R in the upper concourse. This is the highest row available in that particular section.

On the other hand …

The most expensive ticket to Game 5 someone is selling on Ticketmaster is listed at an eye-watering $23,000 and is a seat in section 6, the section behind the Panther’s bench. The row the seat occupies is listed as “to be determined,” but at $46,000 for the pair (potential purchasers are unable to buy the seats separately), it is a major financial commitment to watch the Knights take on the Panthers in what could be a decisive Game 5.

It’s been established that $46,000 will get you the most premium experience available via Ticketmaster for anyone looking to jump into the ticket marketplace on the eve of the contest. But what else will $46,000 get you and a date for a night in Vegas if you skip out on Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final?
