Best App to Shop!
After this app was pushed and shoved to my face by every influencer and public figure I finally budged! And I regret not doing so sooner! Thank you TRISHA PAYTAS! This really is the best app to shop concerts and events! I’ve gone to 5 different concerts this year all thanks to seat geek! I’ve been able to get floor or front row tickets for mayor concerts like Olivia Rodrigo, Nicki Minaj, Gloria Trevi, the Cancrlled pod! And more, I’m looking forward to buying more tickets and having lots of fun with seat geek!!!Sep 15

Love this site and use it for all of my tickets! Love that you get a view of the seats. They deliver quickly and have great customer service should you need. They are always reliable. And often a few hundred dollars cheaper than other sites.Oct 6

The best ticket app
Very convenient to sell tickets. SeatGeek provides a recommended price and then lists your tickets as a good or bad deal. Every pair of tickets that I’ve listed has sold quickly and they only charge a 10% fee for the sale, not bad at all.Sep 12
Prices, Seat Views, Row Designation…
Seat Geek!! Best prices with fees included! Immediate receipt of tickets via app!! Seat/Row views! The Row Designation line in the stadium chart view! App remembers my “include fees” option (don’t have to constantly check if “fees included” tab is chosen/on)!!
About NHL Draft
The NHL Draft is an annual event where National Hockey League teams select the rights to eligible amateur players from around the world. Typically held in late June, the draft serves as a major turning point for both teams and players, shaping the future of the league. Players are generally 18 to 20 years old and can be selected from junior leagues, colleges, or international programs. The draft order is determined by a combination of team performance during the previous season and a weighted lottery system for the teams that did not qualify for the playoffs, giving lower-ranked teams a better chance at landing top talent.
The draft consists of seven rounds, with each of the 32 teams given one pick per round (barring trades). First-round selections are often the most anticipated, with teams targeting future franchise players who can make a significant impact. Over the years, the NHL Draft has introduced fans to some of the game’s greatest stars, including Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews. Scouting, player development, and strategic trades all play a huge role in the outcome of the draft and can dramatically alter a team's trajectory.
Beyond the selections, the NHL Draft is also a fan-friendly event that includes team interviews, trade announcements, and appearances by hockey legends. It's a celebration of the sport’s future and a high-stakes moment for general managers, players and fans alike. Whether you're a die-hard supporter of a rebuilding team or just love watching hockey prospects take the next step, the NHL Draft is one of the most exciting and hopeful events on the league calendar.
What is the NHL Draft?

When and where is the NHL Draft?
The NHL Draft typically takes place in late June, shortly after the conclusion of the Stanley Cup Final. The location changes each year, often hosted in an NHL arena with thousands of fans in attendance.
How is the NHL Draft determined?
The draft order is based on team performance from the previous season. Teams that did not make the playoffs enter a draft lottery, giving them a chance to win a top pick. Playoff teams are placed in order based on how far they advanced.
How many rounds are in the NHL Draft?
There are seven rounds in the NHL Draft. Each team usually gets one pick per round, but teams can trade picks, so some may have more or fewer selections.
Can fans attend the NHL Draft?

How much are NHL Draft tickets?
NHL Draft ticket prices can vary widely depending on the team, matchup, venue, and demand. Preseason tickets typically cost less, while premium games and major events like championship games can cost significantly more. Prices fluctuate based on factors like team performance, rivalry intensity, and seat location, with courtside, front-row, or VIP sections commanding much higher prices than upper-level seating. Additionally, ticket prices often shift in real time based on supply and demand, meaning last-minute buyers could find deals or pay a premium depending on availability.
Several key factors determine the final price of a sporting event ticket. Market demand is a major driver—when a team is performing well or facing a high-profile opponent, prices tend to rise. The size and capacity of the venue also play a role, with larger stadiums typically offering a wider range of price points.
