Top 10 Most Cost-Efficient NHL Tickets

Few franchises in today’s NHL offer the one-to combo of good hockey and fan-friendly ticket prices that the Carolina Hurricanes offer each year, with the Eastern Conference squad scoring among the league leaders in affordability this season.

Overall, the Hurricanes posted the second best score in the league (behind the Florida Panthers), notching a total score of 51 points across a number of metrics used to determine which NHL team offered the best deal for fans as the regular season unfolds.

Carolina’s fan-first approach is even more impressive when you factor in how well the club’s played of late, with six straight postseason appearances and two trips to the Eastern Conference Finals during that stretch.

This year, it looks like the ‘Canes shouldn’t miss a beat, with oddsmakers from Bet365 North Carolina listing the club fifth on their Stanley Cup title odds board at +1100, illustrating how far the team has come in recent years under head coach Rod Brind’Amour.

The NHL season is back, and fans across the country are looking to take their friends and family to their local hockey team’s game. At BetCarolina.com, we were curious what NHL team offers the most cost-efficient tickets. We used Statista for a fan cost index, which factors in ticket price, concessions and parking, and Hockey-Reference.com for each team’s record from last season to create a ranked list of the top 10 most cost-efficient NHL tickets. We removed Utah Hockey Club (formerly Arizona Coyotes) as there is not sufficient data around the new team.
