AVERAGE PRICE FOR TICKETS IS HALF FOR GAMES IN SAN JOSE

five and seven) stands at $691, according to Ticketiq.

That’s $231 more expensive than the second-highest conference semifinal of all time, a 2015 series between the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals.

“The fact that this isn’t an original-six team makes it even more impressive,” said Jesse Lawrence, the founder of TicketIQ. “Anything that is comparable to these ticket prices is typically associated with an original-six team like the Rangers or Canadiens.”

To put the prices into perspective, the average ticket prices for game one and two in Las Vegas is $688 per seat, while the average price for games three and four in San Jose is $307.

That holds the same from the first-round series for the Golden Knights, where ticket prices for the two games in Las Vegas averaged $484 while the average prices in Los Angeles was only $188. The first-round tickets in Las Vegas were the eighth-highest since 2011.

As for who’s buying the tickets, the Knights Vow strategy appears to be working. According to Stubhub, 73 percent of the tickets sold to games one and two have been to Nevada residents. California is second at 11 percent, followed by Colorado and Arizona with 2 percent each.

Cameron Papp, communications manager for Stubhub, provided a few tips for fans seeking tickets for the series, starting by warning fans to watch out for fraudulent tickets. Because Stubhub is the official secondary market ticket provider for the Golden Knights, it essentially eliminates ticket fraud.

Other sites like Ticketiq provide guarantees to fans, as well as other promotions to entice purchasers. Ticketiq has a lowprice guarantee, which gives the purchaser a checkout code for 200 percent of the difference if they find a lower price on any valid ticket website.

Stubhub offers a price alert feature with its mobile app, which will send a notification if a ticket becomes available at or below a specified cost.

Papp advised fans looking at other ticket providers to make sure there is a guarantee of some kind, and a customer service phone number to call just in case. He also said not to share a photo of their ticket on social media — something he has seen recently — as someone can duplicate the barcode.

Fans can still find tickets, but the prices won’t be cheap.
