Stars ticket guide 2026: How to get the best deals for AAC hockey games

Stars tickets are some of the best values in DFW sports. Here is how to maximize your dollar.

Face value pricing (source: dallasstars.com):

• Upper deck (300 level): $25-55 depending on opponent
• Lower bowl (100 level): $75-175
• Club level (200 level): $100-200
• Glass seats: $200-400

Where to buy:

• Primary market (Ticketmaster/Stars website): Face value. Good for buying in advance when premium opponents are announced (Colorado, Minnesota, etc.).
• Secondary market (StubHub, SeatGeek, Gametime): Often cheaper than face value for regular season games against non-marquee opponents. I have found lower bowl seats for $40 on SeatGeek for Tuesday night games.
• Day-of deals: Check Gametime and SeatGeek 2-3 hours before puck drop. Prices drop as sellers get desperate. Best for spontaneous game nights.

Best value games:

• Weekday games (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) against non-rival opponents. Prices are 30-50% lower than weekend games.
• January and February games. Mid-winter is the low point for attendance and prices reflect it.

Most expensive games:

• Colorado Avalanche (rivalry premium)
• Minnesota Wild (Central Division rival)
• Weekend games in March/April (playoff race energy)

Pro tips:

• Season ticket holders on the Stars STH Facebook groups frequently sell below face value. Join these groups for deals.
• The Stars run flash sales on social media. Follow @DallasStars on Twitter/X for 24-hour deals.
• If you buy upper deck, sections 315-319 (center ice) are the best sightlines in the 300 level.

The math: A family of 4 can attend a weeknight Stars game for approximately $120-160 total (4 upper deck tickets at $25-35 each, parking $15 on street). Compare that to a Cowboys game at $600+ for the same family. The value is incomparable.
