Phoenix Roadrunners Tickets

By: Phoenix Tickets Finder    Category: US Airways Center Tickets, Sports

The RoadRunners wiki says this:

The Phoenix RoadRunners are an ECHL hockey team that began play in the 2005-2006 season in Phoenix, Arizona. The team is owned by the same group as the Phoenix Suns and the Phoenix Mercury and also plays in the US Airways Center in downtown Phoenix. The team president is Claude Lemieux. There also used to be a minor league hockey team in Phoenix named the RoadRunners on two different occasions, and the team will attempt to preserve some of the traditions and history of the old teams.

Sure, it ain’t the NHL, but there is some good hockey to be seen down at the US Airways Center. If you are hunting for tickets here are some places to look:

1. First, check out these ticket vendors for pricing:

2. Next come back and check our favorite after market vendors:

We Have Seats has primo tickets for $65
TicketsNow has good seats too

3. Of course the box office itself is always the cheapest route (even if all the good seats tend to be available only in the choices above).

You ought to find what you need between all of these choices.

More from the wiki:

The RoadRunners existed in Phoenix from 1967-1979 and again from 1989-1997 in various leagues, including the World Hockey Association and International Hockey League. The RoadRunners of the IHL folded in the 1997 season, bringing on the West Coast Hockey League’s Phoenix Mustangs, who played in Phoenix from 1997-2001, their high point being a Taylor Cup Championship in 2000. Unfortunately, a deal was unable to be reached with the city of Phoenix on usage of the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, so the Mustangs folded in 2001.

In 2005, after 4 years without minor pro hockey, the RoadRunners were revived as an ECHL franchise by former Phoenix Coyote Claude Lemieux. In their first season, the 2005-2006 season, the Roadrunners began the season well but dropped throughout the year because of injuries and finished with the league’s worst record. In the offseason following, the Roadrunners cemented an affiliation deal with the Phoenix Coyotes of the National Hockey League.
