It’s hard to duplicate the electricity of a Colorado Avalanche home game, and now that the team is in the Stanley Cup finals — for the first time in 21 years — the atmosphere at Ball Arena is going to be even wilder. Unfortunately, so are the ticket prices, which are running from $800 to $1,000 each on aftermarket websites for the cheapest seats alone.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the games, all of which start at 6 p.m., in the company of several dozen, or even a few hundred, of your closest burgundy-and-steel-blue-wearing buds.
