Dallas Stars sell out season ticket allotment for third consecutive year; waiting list now required
The Dallas Stars have sold out their season ticket allotment for the third straight season, forcing prospective buyers to join a waiting list to be considered for any available packages. The sell-out follows sustained on-ice success, including three consecutive trips to the Western Conference Finals, and extends a string of strong attendance that includes 93 consecutive sold-out playoff and regular-season home games.
Immediate implications
With the Victory Club season ticket memberships fully allocated, new fans and prospective members must enter a waitlist to be considered for season ticket purchases. Renewal members still retain priority for seat renewal but will face higher renewal costs in many sections, while some upper-level areas show decreased pricing.
Pricing changes and seat-level details
Renewal prices for season tickets increased between 5% and 20% depending on seating section. Some upper-level sections saw price decreases, while other areas experienced increases of up to 15%. Reported per-game starting prices are $27 for renewing members and $30 for new members. Premium glass-level seats reach up to $506 per game for renewals and $557 per game for new buyers. The organization reports that its average ticket price remains below the NHL average and that season ticket pricing is lower than comparable single-game market prices.
On-ice performance and roster moves driving demand
Fan interest has been buoyed by consistent playoff contention despite not capturing the Stanley Cup. The Stars reached the Western Conference Finals three seasons in a row, including a home loss last year that was widely noted as a pivotal moment for the fan base. Off-season changes include the departure of head coach Pete DeBoer and the hiring of Glen Gulutzan from the Edmonton Oilers. A key roster addition from the prior season, Mikko Rantanen, is cited as a top-tier league superstar and a factor in sustained ticket demand.
Broadcast exposure and schedule highlights
National television exposure reinforces the team’s profile, with 16 nationally televised games on the slate. The regular season opens on October 7, 2025, and the Stars’ home opener is scheduled for October 14, 2025, against the Minnesota Wild. The team will play 31 home games at American Airlines Center during the regular season. Divisional and conference matchups include 13 games against Central Division opponents, 12 against Pacific Division foes, and 16 games against Eastern Conference teams.
Calendar focal points and travel patterns
March is a home-heavy month with eight home games, including a six-game homestand from March 6–16. January presents one of the season’s longest road stretches, with the Stars traveling for 11 games. Notable schedule highlights include a New Year’s Eve game at home against Buffalo and a New Year’s Day matchup at Chicago. The Stars will also host the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on December 13.
Market context and fan competition
The Stars’ popularity exists within a highly competitive Dallas sports market that includes the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys and other major franchises. The team’s consecutive playoff runs, roster investments, and national TV visibility have contributed to sustained demand for season tickets and a lengthy waitlist for Victory Club membership.
What fans should expect next
Prospective season ticket buyers should join the official waiting list to be considered for allocations. Returning members will receive renewal options that may reflect the reported price increases. Single-game and premium-seat pricing tiers remain available subject to market conditions and availability, but the Victory Club allotments are currently closed to immediate new memberships.
