Devils & Islanders Highlight Rangers Top Priced Tickets In 2015

December 26, 2014

Philadelphia Flyers v New York Rangers

After a mediocre November and a tepid start to December, Rangers’ fans had begun to accept the notion that the team might not be headed back to the Stanley Cup. A December awakening has wiped away that gloomy outlook, however. Since losing back-to-back games to start this month, the New York Rangers have won seven in a row and are beginning to sizzle.

Henrik Lundqvist -- who has been all over the place in parts of this season, giving up five goals to the Penguins in November and another five to the Lightning a few weeks ago -- appears to be steadying, lifting the tide of the Rangers along with his own ship. “The King,” as Rangers fan call him, has been in net for most of the Rangers’ wins during their current hot streak, including a 2-0 shutout of the hapless Oilers. Backup goalie Cam Talbot has also played well, pitching in a shutout against the Carolina Hurricanes. Offensively, Rick Nash has led the way like Rangers’ fan have expected him to since he was brought over from the Blue Jackets.

Below are the Rangers five most expensive home games in 2015:

1/3 vs Buffalo Sabres Average Price: $295.84 | Get-in: $106

While it might come as a surprise to some that the Rangers’ most expensive home game in 2015 is against the woeful Sabres, they should know that this game is two years after New Years Day, thus it’s more important date-wise. Though Buffalo remains near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, the team is no pushover. It recently won four in a row over teams that didn’t take them seriously. Tickets on the secondary market to the Sabres-Rangers are $295.84 on average. The minimum you can pay to get into the game is $106.

4/4 vs New Jersey Devils | Average Price: $287.35 | Get-in: $101

Devils-Rangers games are always feisty and a bit heavy on the wallet, with this match-up being no exception. Tickets for this game vs the NJ Devils on the secondary market are $287.35 on average, making this late season skate the Rangers’ second most expensive home game in 2015. The get-in price is $101.

1/13 vs New York Islanders | Average Price: $272.48 | Get-in: $93

The Islanders started hot but are plummeting in the standings this month. The team lost three in a row and allowed five or more goals in each of those games. However, the NY Islanders won four in a row following that three game skid. Tickets on the secondary market to the Islanders versus the Rangers next month are $272.48 on average. The minimum you can pay to get in is $93. This game will likely be crucial for the two division foes.

3/29 vs Washington Capitals | Average Price: $256.83 | Get-in: $89

The Washington Capitals have sandwiched a three-game winning streak in with a middling record this month. That’s sort of how it goes in the nation’s capital these days. The team continues to give up nearly as many goals as it scores. Secondary market tickets to the Capitals-Rangers are $256.83 on average. The minimum you can pay to get in is $89.

1/31 vs Carolina Hurricanes | Average Price: $254.56 | Get-in: $65

For the Rangers to make the playoffs in a crowded Metropolitan Division, it needs games over lowly teams like the Hurricanes, who have been well below average this season. On the road, the Canes are 10 games below .500. Tickets on the secondary market to the late January skate between the Hurricanes and Rangers are $254.56 on average. The get-in price is just $65, though.
