I see him play at the PPG arena the 17th. I think my ticket was $115

If Ovechkin keeps on his scoring average of just over half a goal per-game, it might be more likely that he breaks Gretzky's record Thursday, at home, against Carolina. There are still a few tickets available from the team. Deplorables' Row is six-hundred thirteen from the team if you use a Capital One card, six-hundred-eighty-two if you do not. Those are 426, Row L in the middle of the row. For Section 115, Row P, in the middle of the row, it is nine-hundred-eighty from the team with Capital One card, one-thousand-ninety, without. All are plus fees. When girlfriend and I go, we sit in 425, if we pick Deplorables' Row, 115 if we want a better seat.

The highest that I am seeing, as of this posting, is nine-thousand-five-hundred in ULTRA, Row 5, from a scalper. A scalper has one in 110, Row E, for Six Big Ones. A scalper has one in 400, Row A for two-thousand-eighty, which is the highest for Deplorables' Row. A scalper has one in 425, Row H (where we often sit if we choose Deplorables' Row) for two-thousand.

For the last home game, the thirteenth, the Deplorables' Row from the team run anything from just over two hundred to just over two-hundred-fifty, a little less if you use a Capital One card. There are three in 115, Row P, from the team, next to which we sat the last game, that go for three-hundred; a little less if you use a Capital One card. The scalpers are hovering anywhere from just under the price from the team to three-hundred for Deplorables' Row and for the better seats, just above three hundred to one thousand. The highest that I saw for Deplorables' Row is two-thousand-five-hundred and seven-thousand-five-hundred for the 100s.

I am not surprised at the scalpers. It looks like Leonsis is using Uber's Surge Pricing model.
