Blackhawks Tickets Jump 12% On Secondary Market From Last Season

After making it to the Western Conference Final last season, the Chicago Blackhawks are ready to improve upon that in the 2014-15 season. Blackhawks fans are ready too as Blackhawks tickets on the secondary market have one of the highest averages in the NFL this season. Here's more on Blackhawks tickets from an article we published today on Forbes:

...the season average for Blackhawks tickets at the United Center is currently $262.32 on the secondary market. This marks a 12% increase from last year’s season average of $234.43. The significant increase in ticket price on the secondary market comes on the heels of the team’s Western Conference Final appearance last season, though the Blackhawks ultimately fell to the Los Angeles Kings in seven games.

The Blackhawks also have the highest average price for any American NHL franchise this season on the secondary market.
