Buying Tampa Bay Lightning Tickets at the Arena

Can you buy Tampa Bay Lightning Tickets at Amalie Arena?

Yes, as we discussed earlier, you can buy Tampa Bay Lightning tickets at the arena, but only as long as supplies last. Because many NHL games sell-out, it is best to purchase your tickets as soon as possible.

It is important to understand, if you are hoping to walkup and buy Tampa Bay Lightning tickets at the Amalie Arena for a game that same day, there may not be tickets available if the game is already sold out. Checking availability prior to the game is advised (or purchase your tickets online instead of waiting to buy at the arena).  

Tampa Bay Lightning Mobile Tickets

As of this year, the Tampa Bay Lightning use digital, mobile tickets. This means that even if you purchase a ticket at the arena, you will receive a mobile ticket for entry.

If you do not have a smartphone, it would be best to contact the ticket office and let them advise you on how to proceed. This is where you can view the contact information for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Tampa Bay Lightning advise fans to download the Tampa Bay Lightning mobile app, which gives fans access to many unique things, including ticket resources. This is where you can learn more about downloading the app.

Because tickets are digital, be sure to have your phone fully charged when you leave for the game. It’s also important to download your tickets in advance of the game (if possible) in case there is limited cellular service in the vicinity of arena.
