Alex Ovechkin scored his 892nd goal in a loss to the Carolina Hurricanes for the playoff-bound Washington Capitals. He is now just three goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's NHL record. This momentous occasion has some Columbus Blue Jackets fans reselling tickets for the team's April 12 matchup against the Capitals, believing they are worth thousands of dollars to possibly witness this historic moment.
One Columbus fan has listed a ticket in Section 115L, Row A at Nationwide Arena for an astounding $5,245.00 on Ticketmaster. Although it is uncertain when – or if – Ovechkin will break the 895-goal record, his recent stretch of 13 goals in the past 19 games suggests he could reach this milestone before the end of the regular season, which has seven games remaining.
The value of Ovechkin's potential milestone is not lost on other Blue Jackets fans, as they too are listing tickets at significant prices. For instance, a seat in Section 103, Row E, is being sold for $4,624, while a seat in Section 119, Row B, is priced at $3,254. This is a stark contrast to the game's starting ticket prices of $104.
