The Arizona Coyotes got the last laugh against the Edmonton Oilers during their last meeting at Rogers Place. The other night they won a 3-2 overtime decision against the Oilers - on the day they received news the the organization would be relocating.
While many details are being worked out regarding the Coyotes being moved to Salt Lake City - one thing for certain is that the final game of the current iteration of the Coyotes will be on Wednesday April 17th.
Their opponent? The Oilers.
Earlier today, Chase Beardsley of The Hockey Writers shared a post on Twitter regarding the upcoming last game. There will be a "whiteout" organized by the fans. For those who don't know, a whiteout is when everyone attending the game wears white - as a sign of support.
Secondly, there will be a watch party organized outside of Mullet Arena. The reason for the watch party?
Ticket prices.
As part of his post, Beardsley shared screenshots of the ticket prices for Wednesday's game. For a few of the lower bowl tickets the prices range from $1041 to $1277.
Most of the tickets are in that range - but the madness doesn't stop there. There are a few verified resale tickets that are going for a whopping $5000 and $10,000.
The $5000 tickets are third row back from the glass behind the penalty boxes at center ice. The $10,000 seats are behind the Coyotes net - first row from the glass. Those aren't even real seats, it's literally just a bench.
If you are a resident of Arizona and want to catch the Oilers before the playoffs - you are better off flying in to Edmonton to catch them play the San Jose Sharks tomorrow.
