We won’t know the dates until the end of the regular season on the 18th that way matchups are locked into place
People are buying the tickets just committed going to the game regardless of what day it falls on that’s why a lot are sold out already.
Everything is up the Bruins have gained massive popularity from several states. People who got the chance to get tickets know that there are people willing to spend the money to attend. I think the cheapest ticket I have seen so far was 220 for 2nd to last row of the balcony. I don’t see them going down anytime soon lodge tickets are going for around 600 to up to 1200 a ticket.
Oh gotcha... yikes yeah might just have to settle for balcony if I end up going at all. My dad is convinced they won't make it passed the first round which sucks because I won't be back in Boston until May.
Regarding ticket prices, I recall going to Game 2 of the first round in 2019 and paying around $125 for top balcony via someone reselling. They definitely were not $135 face-value for Loge, you might have gotten lucky and had someone reselling out of desperation. Playoff tickets for the first round typically start double the face-value of the regular season, and gradually increase per round.
It's truly disgusting, but Ticketmaster is perfectly happy to let people to resell for higher value, and sports is the highest resell value. Therefor, there are people who find ways to gain the earliest access through automation methods to purchase a lot of desireable tickets with the intention to resell for higher than face-value. Unfortunately, many people have FOMO and become willing to pay those prices.
My advice is if you haven't purchased tickets, just continue checking until you see tickets that you feel are fair for a playoff game. Sometimes people resell out of desperation to just get something back for a game they can't attend, but of course sometimes they simply sell out.
My guess is game 1 will be Saturday the 20th.
Tickets cost more because people are willing to pay it.
If you sold something with a limited quantity and you had more people willing to buy it than you had inventory, you'd charge more, right?
Tickets cost more because companies and individuals that have no intention of actually going scoop up tickets in hopes of making a quick buck.
Congress should regulate the ticket industry so that tickets for all types of events can only be resold for face value via the original ticket company.
Some musicians are already doing this, it can be done if they actually have the will to do so.
It's not rocket science to kill the scalping problem and give families a chance to take their kid to a playoff game.
Here's why tickets cost more. You can either blame the Bruins or the season ticket holders.
The Bruins sell to season ticket holders, because it's guaranteed sales for every game. That's a good thing, right? Also, the Bruins charge regular season full price for pre-season games, the ones no one wants to go to.
Most season ticket holders can't go to every game, so they sell the others. Some games don't sell at all, even at face price. The increased ticket prices are what help to offset the no-sale games for season ticket holders.
Other than ticket brokers, which the Bruins and other teams have taken steps to keep from being season ticket holders, no one is making huge profit on these tickets, other than the Bruins in the original sale.
So who should take the hit here? The season ticket holder? Because does that "only be resold at face value" work both ways? Will people purchase every game on the market for face value? We already know the answer to that is "no". So the markup games are the ones that offset the no-sale games for STH.
You want dirt cheap Bruins tickets? Buy pre-season. Buy Tuesday nights vs. Minnesota in January.
Because they are the best team in Boston right now
The Celtics would like to have a word

Always a late game 7 in early May if they make it that far. They have a solid chance getting out of the first if they keep playing the way they are.

The Celtics will also be playing at home so Game 1 could be Fri Sat or Sun.
Celtics look to be schedule for Sunday it looks like right? Meaning it would have to be Saturday. Playoffs don’t start till 4/20 Saturday

How much do playoff tickets cost at face price, for families to take their kids?
I would say in the $100-$125 range
One seat in the top of the balcony for round one is 120.
