From our friends at TiqIQ:

The Philadelphia Flyers are no stranger to postseason play. In the franchise’s 46-year history, the team has made 37 playoff appearances while winning two Stanley Cups in back-to-back seasons (1975 and 1976). They will enter the upcoming season on the heels of a 42-30 record, finishing third in the Metropolitan division and sixth in the Eastern Conference before being ousted in the Stanley Cup quarterfinals by the New York Rangers in seven games. Despite the team’s shortcomings in the playoffs last season, the Flyers will see secondary ticket average rise at the Wells Fargo Center in 2014. Following an impressive showing by several young Flyers in the annual rookie game against Washington and an impressive split-squad showing both here and up north, Philadelphia’s potential on the ice and the secondary ticket market has only continued to rise as the regular season quickly approaches.

According to TiqIQ, the season average for Flyers tickets is currently $159.16. This is a relatively significant increase from last season’s average of $85.79, marking an 85.5% jump. In a rare postseason miss by the Flyers in the 2012-2013 lockout-ridden season, the average price for Flyers tickets at home was $103.75 over 26 home games, sitting in the middle of the past three seasons, 21% above last season’s average and 32% below the upcoming season’s average price.

The Flyers will play their most expensive game on the secondary market against the Minnesota Wild this season. The November 20 game currently has a secondary market average of $298.32, 95% higher than the season average, with a get-in price of $100. The price for the game, though, has little to do with the Wild and everything to do with the pre-game ceremony. Beloved Flyers Eric Lindros and John LeClair will be inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame prior to the start of the game. The second most expensive game on the Flyers schedule will be played against the Pittsburgh Penguins on April 5. The average price for Flyers vs Penguins is currently $229.20 on the secondary market, 50% above the season average. The get-in price for the early-April game is currently $61.

Interestingly enough, the Flyers will host their two cheapest home games on the secondary market against teams that made the playoffs last season. A game against the Los Angeles Kings on October 28 serves as the second cheapest game of the season, with a $103.49 average price, 32.2% below the season average, while an October 14 game with the Anaheim Ducks is the most inexpensive ticket at Wells Fargo Center this season, averaging $77.87, 49% below season average.
