SALT LAKE CITY – For those who were unable to purchase Winter Classic tickets during the official presale last month, the National Hockey League recently announced when tickets will be made available to the general public.

Beginning on June 16 at 10 am, tickets will go on sale here via Ticketmaster and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

While pricing has yet to be announced for the general public sale, presale box office prices ranged from $202 to $477 while resale tickets reached over $1000 per seat.

What is the NHL Winter Classic?

Since 2008, the National Hockey League has hosted a collection of outdoor games headlined by the annual Winter Classic.

In the past, cities such as Buffalo, Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburgh, Ann Arbor, and Seattle have hosted the extraordinary event.

In 2026, the NHL experimented with a different approach as the Florida Panthers hosted the New York Rangers at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida.

In 2014, the NHL also introduced the Stadium Series to add even more annual outdoor games to the league’s schedule.

However, these differ from the Winter Classic, which serves as a supporting event to reach additional markets, rather than the Winter Classic, which is the primary outdoor game of the calendar year.

The Winter Classic returns to a true winter setting as Salt Lake City prepares to welcome the prestigious outdoor event at the end of this year.

What’s next for the Utah Mammoth?

The next notable event for the Utah Mammoth will be the NHL Draft on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 5 p.m. MT.
