Phoenix Coyotes Tickets
Ahhhh — there’s nothing more refreshing than coming in from a 115 degree parking lot to see a ice hockey game! And that’s what you often get here in Phoenix when you’re a Coyotes fan. The Coyotes are always a fun time even if tickets are sometimes hard to come by. The Phoenix Coyotes wiki says this:
The Coyotes were a hot ticket in Phoenix in the late ’90s, and had superb attendance. However, America West Arena soon proved to be an inadequate location for an NHL team. Several seats were obstructed because the arena’s floor was not designed with a hockey rink in mind, unlike most modern arenas. Seating capacity had to be cut down to 16,000 — the second-smallest in the league at the time — after the first season. Even then, a stretch of the upper deck that actually hung over the ice, obstructing the views of around 3,000 spectators. Some fans even claimed that they saw where the concrete had been sheared off to create retractable seats for hockey. After attempts failed either to renovate America West or build an arena in Scottsdale, the Coyotes built Glendale Arena, which they moved into in 2003. Simultaneously, the Coyotes changed their logo and uniforms, heeding to hockey purists, but disappointing many Coyotes fans.
If you are looking for Coyotes tickets and are having any trouble getting the seats you want from the box office here are the aftermarket sources I’ve discovered that seem to be the best bet:
- These guys have a solid inventory and usually the best prices for brokers
- These guys always have lots of tickets and let you sell as well as buy.
- These guys often have the biggest selection of Phoenix Coyotes tickets.
Who knows, maybe this is the year Coach Gretzky and the Coyotes break through and win the West. It’s bound to happen some time right?
