Buying NHL Playoff Tickets
First, it's important to realize that NHL Playoff tickets rarely sell at a discount to their face value. Most fans consider themselves lucky to simply get their hands on the tickets. While individual games during the regular season might be available for $20 or less, NHL Playoff seats are often priced above $1,000. Below, we'll give you a few of the best resources for buying them. Plus, we'll explain what you'll need to watch out for when purchasing.

Resources For Finding Tickets
Most NHL franchises will offer playoff seats to their season ticket holders at face value. Friends, family and acquaintances who have season tickets can be a great resource, especially if they can't attend the game. They may be willing to purchase the tickets for you.
Your next best option is to check eBay. Auction bids for NHL Playoff seats tend to spiral upward as the game draws closer. But, if you're willing to outbid everyone else, eBay may be the easiest way to reserve them. Other online options (such as StubHub) also offer tickets, but prices will likely be high and they'll move quickly.
Another option is to visit the franchise's website. It's highly unlikely that playoff seats will be available, but they're occasionally released unexpectedly. Visit your team's site frequently and you may be surprised.
Using Common Sense
First, look at a seating chart. If you have the opportunity to select from different seats, verify where they're located. Second, if you're purchasing your NHL Playoff tickets online, make sure that the site from which you're buying is reputable. It's unlikely you'll have any problems buying on eBay or StubHub. That being said, if you're using another source, do a bit of due diligence to be certain they're legitimate. Last, confirm that you have a way to contact the people from whom you're buying the tickets.
Finally... Experiencing The Game
The intensity of the NHL Playoffs begins long before the players hit the ice. Fan enthusiasm can catapult ticket prices while reducing their availability. To experience the fervor and excitement of a playoff game, look through the auctions at eBay and check StubHub. With a little diligence and luck, you can enjoy the action from within the heart of the arena.
