The 2023 Stanley Cup Final is finally upon us. After all the twists and turns, two teams will close out the Stanley Cup Playoffs on hockey's biggest stage. Those teams are the Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights.
No matter the level, attending a hockey game in person is a lot of fun. Seeing your team play live is just a completely different experience than watching from the comfort of your couch.
However, that experience is also more expensive. Especially when that experience is something as historic as the Stanley Cup Playoffs. So, just how much would it cost to see the Panthers and Golden Knights fight for the NHL's biggest prize in person?
Here is a rundown of ticket prices provided by VividSeats at the time of publication.

Stanley Cup Finals teams
The Vegas Golden Knights entered the Stanley Cup Playoffs as the top seed in the Western Conference. They matched up with the Winnipeg Jets and beat them in six games in the first round.
Next, the Golden Knights drew the Edmonton Oilers in round two. That series went six games, with Vegas emerging victorious in a high-octane and highly intense series.
In the Western Conference Finals, the Golden Knights got a measure of revenge. They eliminated the Dallas Stars, who beat Vegas in the 2020 Western Conference Finals. Vegas won the 2023 rematch in six games.
The Panthers, meanwhile, snuck into the playoffs as the second wild-card team in the Eastern Conference. They faced the Boston Bruins, who set the NHL wins and points record, in round one.
Florida came back from a 3-1 series deficit to eliminate the Bruins in seven games. Since then, Florida has been on fire, winning eight of their next nine games. They eliminated the Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes to set up this matchup with the Golden Knights.
