Florida Panthers Ice Hockey Game Ticket at FLA Live Arena

I had a blast at the FLA Arena watching the fourth game of the 2023 Playoff series against Boston. The staff was very friendly and everything was easily accessible. Looking forward to going back again soon.

Since I’m an out of town FLA Panthers fan, my wife had bought me tickets for the New Year’s Day game vs. the Rangers. The arena itself is beautiful as is the outside of it too. Parking we paid was $25 for regular parking I believe that is just a short walk to the entrance if you get there early enough. As an avid FLA panther fan, one thing I wish I would have seen more of, or ANY of is the classic panthers red jerseys and merchandise with the panther snapping the stick on half! Pure and simple their new logo sucks. I refuse to buy any of the new panthers jerseys except for both alternate reverse retro jerseys which I love! We sat mid level, and paying more than $200 for a FLA panthers ticket each, I had high hopes. Unfortunately the seating is just all around tight and uncomfortable, and outright dumb if you have a beverage and actually want to use the beverage holder. The panthers have historically either struggled in the playoffs or struggle to GET to the playoffs. They can absolutely not justify the prices we paid for these tickets unfortunately. I had predicted they would lose 5-2, and they lost 5-3. Until you have a team with more superstar quality, you should not charge superstar pricing. If we are around FLA again, we will likely not check out another panthers game until these ticket prices come way down or they get more firepower on the ice worth paying for.

Ice hockey isn’t native to Florida but I’ve now attended 2 games at FLA Live arena and I love it here. I’m a Canadian and grew up watching the Leafs. As an adult, I go and watch the Red Wings and the Blackhawks, both great hockey experiences (with a special shout out to the Little Caesars Arena - best arena in the NHL). Florida’s fans and the arena are a great experience. Now, as a lifelong Leaf fan, yes, I went to see the Leafs vs Panthers and my guess is there were about 50% Leaf fans. Give it a shot…FLA Live and the Panthers is fun.
