Capitals Ticket Prices Soar As Ovechkin Nears Record — Here’s Where to Buy Tickets Online
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission.
Alex Ovechkin is on the brink of history. With 886 regular-season goals, the Washington Capitals left winger is on course to break Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record of 894. Gretzky set the record over 30 years ago in 1994, and until now, that record seemed unbreakable.
At a Glance: Where to Buy Washington Capitals Tickets Online
- Best prices: Vivid Seats, StubHub, SeatGeek, TicketNetwork, Gametime, Viagogo
As Ovechkin approaches the record, ticket prices for Capitals games have skyrocketed — and may set another record for the most expensive NHL game ever. “I imagine the cheapest ticket, when it becomes obvious that he’ll have the opportunity to break the record, will be in the $450-500 range, though it could exceed that into $700 or $800,” Kyle Zorn, head of content at TickPick, told The Washington Times.
If you’re looking to (potentially) witness Ovechkin make history, read on. Below are some of the best places to buy Washington Capitals tickets online, plus guestimates on when Ovechkin could break Gretzky’s record.
