Islanders fans have waited decades for a new home arena to call their own, and the pent-up demand predictably is having an effect on the cost of tickets for Saturday night’s opener.
The secondary ticket site TickPick said that as of early Thursday, the game against the Flames at UBS Arena was its most expensive Islanders regular-season game to date, with an average purchase price of $305.
TickPick said its biggest purchase for the game had been for five tickets in Section 106, Row 9, for $537 per ticket.
The lowest asking price as of Thursday was $266.
