Washington Capitals Season Ticket Resale

How do I price Washington Capitals on a resale marketplace?

First, look at comparable resale listings. Comparable resale listings are seats that are similar or closer in distance to center ice and four rows behind you or closer to the ice. If you have seats on the “home team attacks twice” side, you will not want to compare to the “visiting team attacks twice” side. Find the cheapest seats that meet that criteria, then price above or below based on the below information.

Second, you can gauge the direction of the market and whether to price below or above the competition based on the following attributes. The more negatives apply to the game, the lower you should price your tickets because it’s extremely likely the tickets will drop in price even more.

Negatives:

Selling within one month of the game. The closer the game, the lower the prices will be in general
Home team is likely not going to the playoffs or underperforming expectations
Key injuries to either the home team or the visiting team
Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday games. Monday being the worst, Tuesday second worst
Low resale value opponents
- Lottery pick team, minimal legacy, doesn’t draw well on the road
- Examples (the worst resale teams shown first): Arizona Coyotes, Anaheim Ducks, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Florida Panthers, Ottawa Senators, San Jose Sharks
The game is part of a home back-to-back, a long homestand, or 3 home games in 4 days type situation
Bad weather
Day games
Games on a Sunday during the NFL season

Positives:

Selling more than one month from the game. The further away from the game, the more you can sell your tickets for in general
Home team is performing to or better than the expectation going into the season
Opponent is performing to or better than the expectation going into the season
Great resale value opponents
- Either they are a legacy team, have superstars, a deep fanbase, or are a championship contender
- Examples (the best resale teams shown first): Chicago Blackhawks Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Toronto Maple Leafs
Friday/Saturday/Sunday games (Saturday being the best)
Rivalry game

What other tips are there for selling Washington Capitals tickets?

The schedule release is the best time to list tickets, as it’s a full-on seller’s market. There are very few tickets available for sale, so not much competition. At the same time, there is a spike in demand from the die-hard fans that are willing to pay top dollar to secure the big game tickets. Low supply + high demand = high sales prices.
