The 4 Nations Face-Off final is set for a rematch between Canada and the USA, but prices to attend the game are through the roof.
The 4 Nations Face-Off has been a huge thrill.
The players have treated each game as one of the most important matches of their careers, and the fans have responded by creating electric atmospheres.
Even casual fans or those unfamiliar with hockey have followed the action, and some have taken to social media to express their feelings about the tournament.
Before the tournament, it was uncertain how many tickets the league would sell because of high prices, such as $414 in the nosebleeds and more than $2,000 in the lower bowl in Montreal.
The ticket prices for Thursday's final between Canada and the USA skyrocketed.
As of Feb. 19, the cheapest ticket on Gametime for the final at TD Garden in Boston is $798, located in section 322, row 15. On Ticketmaster, the cheapest ticket can be found for $925 USD.
The most expensive tickets are upwards of $5,000 to $6,500 depending on the ticketing platform. Two tickets at center ice are even on sale for $10,000 each on Ticketmaster.
Needless to say, fans need to pay a pretty penny to see their national team in action.
For fans who don't live near Boston to root for their nation on Thursday, there are undoubtedly extra costs as well, such as hotel costs, travel costs and food costs.
The excitement for a best-on-best international tournament was always likely to increase television ratings with the ticket prices this high. Nielsen reported that last Saturday's Canada-USA game had an average of 4.4 million viewers and a peak of 5.2 million in the United States.
