Penguins-Flyers Is Most Expensive Stadium Series Game Since 2014

By Tim Dolan,

The Keystone State will play host to the second and final Stadium Series game of 2017 on Saturday, February 25th, when the Penguins host the Flyers at Heinz Field. It will be the Penguins’ second appearance in the Stadium Series and first time hosting, and their inaugural game at Heinz Field is posting record ticket demand three weeks before puck drop.

On TicketIQ, a search engine that pools tickets and data from over 90 percent of the resale market, Penguins vs.Flyers Stadium Series tickets are now averaging $281. That tops a 2014 game between the Blackhawks and Penguins at Soldier Field, which owned a $272 average. Fans looking to just get past the gates at Heinz Field on February 25 can find tickets starting from $62 each on TicketIQ.

With a max capacity of 68,111 for hockey games, Heinz Field has the potential to host the second most-attended Stadium Series game in the event’s four-year history. A sellout crowd would fall just short of 2015’s game at Levi’s Stadium between the Sharks and Kings, in which 70,205 were on hand to see the Kings take a 2-1 win at the 49ers’ home stadium.
