Capitals-Islanders ticket prices skyrocket with Alex Ovechkin one goal away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record
NY Post
It’s going to cost you if you want to see Alex Ovechkin have a chance to break Wayne Gretzky’s NHL career goal-scoring mark on Sunday against the Islanders.
Ticket prices skyrocketed after the 39-year-old Capitals star scored the 893rd and 894th goals to tie The Great One’s mark against the Blackhawks at Capital One Arena on Friday night.
It sets him up to move all alone into first place when Washington heads to UBS Arena on Sunday afternoon.
“I’m still a little shaking and still can’t believe it,” Ovechkin said while sitting next to Gretzky after the Capitals’ win on Friday. “It’s history. It’s great for the game. It’s great to do it here. It’s special.”
As of early Saturday afternoon, there were two tickets for Row 2 of Section 120 in the lower bowl of UBS Arena listed for $10,078 each on StubHub before fees.
The cheapest seat in the lower bowl was $1,200.
