It’s the end of an era in Detroit, and Red Wings fans will be paying up as they bid farewell to Joe Louis Arena.

The beloved venue, which has hosted Red Wings home games since 1979, welcomes six more games through April 9. Over that time, Red Wings tickets won't be cheap on the resale market.

On TicketIQ, the average resale price for Red Wings tickets over those six games is $369. This is more than twice the team’s season average of $154. Take a look at where each game stacks up in terms of pricing below.

Fans looking for the cheapest Red Wings tickets can find them for Friday night’s contest against the Lightning. Also featuring a Wall Mural Magnet giveaway for the first 7,500 fans 21 and older, the game currently owns a $134 average and $89 get-in price. Additional savings can be found on the TicketIQ app.

Conversely, the final home game against the Devils on April 9 is the most expensive remaining game. All fans in attendance will receive a Farewell to the Joe Mini Stick. Tickets are posting a $591 average, making it the most expensive regular-season Red Wings game TicketIQ has ever tracked. Tickets start from $272 each.

With the team’s historic 25-year playoff streak coming to an end, the franchise will call Little Caesars Arena home beginning next season. The 20,000 capacity venue will also host Pistons games starting during the 2017-18 NBA season.
