As the Golden Knights kept pushing deeper into the Stanley Cup playoffs this spring, the team’s off-ice business kept accelerating.

But now the hockey team is alleging it didn’t get its cut of the profits from one line of commerce: ticket sales.

The Golden Knights on Thursday filed a complaint against StubHub in Clark County District Court. It alleges the resale ticketing site owes the team almost $1.5 million in playoff ticket sales profits.

According to the team, StubHub had “demanded” that the Knights give more fans the ability to sell their seats on its site during the playoffs. Its “ultimatum” threatened to turn the Knights’ “historic inaugural season from an experience that encouraged fan loyalty and hometown spirit into a ‘scalping’ money-grab,” the court papers say.
