The final regular-season Rangers-Islanders game at Nassau Coliseum Tuesday night predictably has become a hot ticket on the resale market.
As of Monday afternoon, the average asking price was $268.26, according to TiqIQ.com, which monitors a number of secondary-market sites.
The lowest asking price was $130, the highest "get-in" price this season at the Coliseum.
The previous Rangers-Islanders games at the Coliseum this season also were pricey, averaging $277.63 on Jan. 27 and $229.86 on Feb. 16.
But unlike for Tuesday, on both of those occasions one could purchase a ticket for less than $100 for one of the least desirable seats.
