Fans slam Stanley Cup ticket prices for being overpriced - "If they weren’t so damn expensive, my ass would be in Fort Lauderdale"

The stage is set for an exciting Stanley Cup Finals between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Florida Panthers, both vying for their first-ever franchise championship. However, the high demand for tickets has made it difficult for many fans to afford attending the games.

Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals is scheduled for Saturday, June 3, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where the Golden Knights will enjoy home-ice advantage for Games 1 and 2, as well as potential Games 5 and 7. The Panthers, on the other hand, will have the advantage for Games 3, 4, and potentially Game 6 if necessary.

Tickets for the finals are more expensive than regular season tickets, and fans have expressed their frustration about the high prices on social media.

"If tickets for the game weren’t so damn expensive, my ass would be catching a flight to Fort Lauderdale sooo fast for a Stanley Cup Final game."

Here are some of the top reactions on Twitter:
