Unfortunately for Blackhawks fans, it won’t be cheap to see them play in the Stanley Cup Final. Hawks tickets have been among the most expensive in the NHL all season, as only the Toronto Maple Leafs had a more expensive average price on the secondary market during the regular season. Those high prices will persist as the Blackhawks prepare for their third Cup Final in six seasons.

According to TiqIQ, the current secondary market average price for Blackhawks Stanley Cup Final tickets across three possible home games is $1,760.11. That is 20.7 percent above the secondary market average for Chicago’s three home games during the 2013 Cup Final against Boston. Of course in that series the Hawks held home-ice advantage and hosted Games 1, 2 and 5. This season against Tampa Bay, the Blackhawks would host Games 3 and 4, as well as a potential Game 6.

Blackhawks tickets for the Cup Final are currently 69.3 percent more expensive on average than Lightning tickets in Tampa Bay. The current secondary market average across all four potential games at Amalie Arena is $1,039.63. Across the first four guaranteed games of the series, ticket prices in Chicago are nearly double those in Tampa on the secondary market.

The Blackhawks released tickets for the Cup Final on Tuesday and for those who miss out, the secondary market may make it cheaper to see a game in Tampa Bay. Each of the first two games at Amalie Arena have an average price below $1,000, the only two such games of the series. Games 3 and 4 at United Center have an average price above $1,500 on the secondary market. With a flight and hotel, and average price ticket to Game 1 will cost less than the average ticket to Game 3.

According to Priceline.com the cheapest roundtrip airfare from Chicago to Tampa around Game 1 is $455, making the total cost $1,117.03 including an average ticket. Hotels in Tampa Bay range from $189 to $259 for 4-star rooms and start at $71 for 3-star rooms.

Whether attending games in Chicago or Tampa, ticket prices will not be cheap to see the Blackhawks try to win their third Stanley Cup in the last six seasons. As Chicago fans have experienced the last two times, those prices could be well worth it.
