This is worth taking advantage of. With the rapid adoption of mobile ticketing, physical tickets are all but a thing of the past. The only way to get one from the current Caps games is to buy a ticket stub at the box office.
Ticket stubs occupy an important position in the collectibles market. Rarity translates to very high prices for collectors wanting to commemorate an event or get an athlete’s autograph. This has resulted in a very high market price for ticket stubs, especially his Ovi’s recent milestones.
A ticket stub for the Chicago hat-trick game in which Ovechkin scored 800 goals was recently auctioned on eBay for $1,385.
One stub is currently up for auction, with bids over $700, as Ovi swept the second-best goal of all time in last night’s game.
merry christmas!
