If you were planning on taking a quick trip to Dallas, Texas to support your St. Louis Blues in the playoffs, you may want someone with a Texas billing address to buy your tickets. Why? People outside of the Dallas Stars viewing area are being blocked from purchasing tickets to the game.
The Stars aren’t the first NHL team to do this. The Tampa Bay Lightning, Nashville Predators, Vegas Golden Knights, Boston Bruins, and other teams have done regionally-specific ticket purchasing in the past. Even the Blues, who couldn’t block purchasing by state for the Blackhawks, got into the act with some fancy ticket package requirements six years ago.
