Hey r/ColoradoAvalanche, I built a site called ticketdata.com and launched it on Reddit recently. It tracks prices across on resale sites (think stubhub, vivid, seatgeek, etc)
I have been digging through team by team price patterns this season, and the Avs might be the wildest case I have seen so far. For the vast majority of teams (in all sports), resale prices generally drop as the game gets closer. Colorado has been the total opposite.
Of the 10 home games played so far, *ALL 10* saw prices rise (when comparing the price at 30 days out to the price 24 hours before the game).
Obviously starting 16-1-5 is the main driver, but even with that context it is still an absolutely crazy stat. Without even digging through all the other teams, I would guess that no other NHL team has had 100% of their games increase in price this season, and I honestly cannot remember any team in any sport showing this kind of pattern in 2025.
Sharing this in case it helps anyone looking to go to any of the upcoming games. Obviously, if the team's performance starts to come back down to earth, things will start to normalize.
The attached chart shows the price trend line for all 10 games (I left out the Bruins game because it was so high it skewed the whole thing). Each line represents the price trend of the "Get-In" price (the cheapest tickets) for each game.
Here is the link if you want to check any of the upcoming games:

I go to a lot of games and tend to check ticket prices even when I’m sitting in the arena waiting for the game. I’ve noticed the same trend of prices staying the same/increasing before puck drop. The good news, though based only on my observations without data, is that a lot of those tickets are still there well into the first period. So scalpers don’t seem to be cashing out on everyone’s desire to watch this team and are eating the price they purchased at.
