Buying tickets to New York Rangers games?

Question

i never really went to a hockey game at the garden but is it usually really packed (i should buy tickets in advance), or can i just go the day of the game and buy tickets there

Answer 1

If you wait til the day of the game you'll probably be buying tickets from a scalper. That can either be a good thing or a bad thing......

I went to a hockey game at the ACC up in Toronto last year and I bought tickets off of a scalper. They were reasonably priced, and they were "ok" seats. But then again, you can also have scalpers who rip you off.

I would suggest buying tickets before hand though.

Ticketmaster and Stubhub are two of my favorite places to buy tickets.

When the day gets sooner you could always check EBay, but you have to be careful because I once tried to buy hockey tickets on EBay and they didn't show up until a week later.  

Answer 2

Whatever you do, DO NOT wait untill you get to the game, rarely are there any good tickets left. You will probably wind up sitting somewhere you don't want to sit.

Answer 3

I'm a lifelong Rangers fan and have went to countless games at the Garden.

As the guy above me said, if you wait until the day of the game your going to probably be buying from a scalper.  I would not recommend buying from the scalpers in front of MSG.  They WILL rip you off.  

Finding tickets through ticketmaster is becoming almost impossible for Ranger games.  Now that the Rangers are a good team again there is even a long waiting list for season tickets.  

Best option is stubhub.com.  Tickets are a little more expensive but it's reliable and there are always seats available throughout the arena.  Most of the tickets on there are sold by season ticket holders who either can't make it to a certain game or are trying to recoup some of the money they paid for the tickets in the first place.   In my opinion, it's the easiest and most reliable way to get tickets.

Answer 4

you should just but tickets on its website
