Rhinos vs. Ice Wolves tickets are inexpensive: resale for the El Paso games starts around $21 to $23, the Albuquerque games start around $42 on resale, and the Ice Wolves' own tickets cost $17.50 to $31 per game last season, depending on the seat. A price-comparison site showed all-in prices of about $32.50 for an El Paso game and about $59 for an Albuquerque game. The Ice Wolves' 2026-27 single-game prices were not confirmed in the sources reviewed, but their season-ticket prices did not increase.

Where Can You Buy Tickets?
You can buy from the teams, Ticketmaster, or resale marketplaces, and the best choice depends on which city hosts the game. The Ice Wolves sell their own tickets through their ticket site, the Rhinos list tickets on Ticketmaster and through the team, and resale marketplaces such as Vivid Seats carry both teams' games.
• Albuquerque games (Ice Wolves home games): buy from the Ice Wolves' ticket site, tickets.nmicewolves.com, where single-game tickets went on sale on July 10, 2026.
• El Paso games (Rhinos home games): check the Rhinos' site, elpasorhinos.com, and the team's Ticketmaster listing first.
• Resale marketplaces: useful for comparing prices or finding last-minute seats, but check the all-in total before you pay.
The Rhinos' own face-value prices were not shown in the sources I could access, so I can only report resale and comparison-site prices for El Paso games.
What Do Ice Wolves Tickets Cost Direct From the Team?
Last season, the Ice Wolves' single-game tickets started at $17.50 for reserved bleacher seats and $30 for reserved stadium chair seats, and a March 2026 release listed them at $18 and $31. The team's 2026-27 single-game prices were not published in the sources reviewed, but it advertises no price increase on season tickets.
| Seat Type | 2021-22 Single Game | Oct. 2025 Single Game | Mar. 2026 Single Game |
|---|---|---|---|
| First-row reserved bleacher | $10 | Not listed | Not listed |
| Reserved bleacher | $12.50 | $17.50 | $18 |
| Reserved chair seats | $25 | $30 | $31 |
These are the team's own announced prices for its home games at Outpost Ice Arenas, so they apply to the December 4-5 and April 2-3 games in Albuquerque, not to the El Paso games. Always confirm the current price at checkout, since a game against a rival may be priced differently.
How Have Ice Wolves Prices Changed?
Prices have risen steadily over five seasons. A reserved bleacher single-game seat went from $12.50 in 2021-22 to $18 in March 2026, about a 44 percent increase, while a chair seat went from $25 to $31, about 24 percent. Season tickets rose from $350 to $420 for bleacher seats and from $700 to $770 for chair seats, about 20 percent and 10 percent.
| Season Ticket | 2021-22 | 2026-27 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reserved bleacher | $350 | $420 | +20% |
| Reserved chair seats | $700 | $770 | +10% |
The percentages are my own calculations from the team's announcements. The takeaway is that this remains one of the cheaper live-sports options around, and the team says season-ticket prices are unchanged from last season.
What Does a Season Ticket Work Out to Per Game?
A full season ticket works out to $15 per game for bleacher seats and $27.50 per game for chair seats, because the Ice Wolves list 28 regular-season home games for 2026-27. Smaller plans cost the same per game.
| Plan | Bleacher | Chair Seats | Per Game (Bleacher / Chair) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full season (28 games) | $420 | $770 | $15.00 / $27.50 |
| Fridays only or Saturdays only (14 games) | $210 | $385 | $15.00 / $27.50 |
| 14-game flex pack | $210 | $385 | $15.00 / $27.50 |
| 6-game flex pack | $90 | $165 | $15.00 / $27.50 |
Compared with last season's single-game starting prices, that is a saving of roughly $2.50 to $3.50 per game, or about 8 to 17 percent, by my math. A flex pack lets you use vouchers on any regular-season game, so it can cover the Rhinos games without committing to a full year. Season ticket holders also get first access to playoff tickets, and the team includes free tickets to its NA3HL home games.
Do Playoff Tickets Cost More?
Playoff tickets have cost a bit more than regular-season seats. When the Ice Wolves won their first playoff series in 2022, single-game playoff pricing was $12.50 for first-row bleachers, $15 for bleachers, and $27.50 for premium chairback seats, compared with $10, $12.50, and $25 in the regular season that year.
That is a premium of about $2.50 per game, or roughly 10 to 25 percent, by my math, and it comes from a single older example. Both of this season's April meetings are regular-season games, so no playoff premium applies to them, but it is useful context if the teams meet again in the postseason.
What About Hospitality Suites?
The Ice Wolves offer two hospitality suites on a single-game basis: the Land of Enchantment Suite starts at $499 and seats 32, and the Sandia Suite starts at $599 and seats 42, according to a March 2026 team release. An older release said the suites were available with catering.
By my rough math, a full suite works out to about $15.60 per person for the smaller suite and $14.30 per person for the larger one, before any food or drink. Confirm what is included before you book, since the sources reviewed did not list the details.
What Do the Seat Types Mean at Outpost Ice Arenas?
At the Ice Wolves' arena, reserved bleacher seats are Rows A through E and reserved chair seats are Rows F through J, according to the team's ticket site. The cheaper bleacher rows sit closest to the ice, while the pricier chair seats are farther back with a seat back.
That means the lower price does not buy a worse view, just less comfort. If you want to be close to the action, the bleacher rows are the better value, and if you want back support for a 2-hour game, the chair seats are worth the extra $12 to $13. Older team releases also mentioned a first-row bleacher option and standing room, so check which tiers are available for your date.
What Do Rhinos Tickets Cost?
The Rhinos' own face-value prices were not available in the sources reviewed, but resale snapshots show lows of about $21 to $23 and an average near $42 across Rhinos games. One marketplace listed the Ice Wolves at Rhinos games in El Paso from $23 with a high near $115.
A recent snapshot is consistent with an older one. A listing from roughly two years ago showed a $21 low and a $39.46 average for an Ice Wolves game in El Paso, which suggests prices at this level have been stable. Check the Rhinos' site or Ticketmaster for the current face value before you decide.
How Much Are Resale Tickets Right Now?
Recent resale and comparison snapshots show lows of about $21 to $42 and all-in prices of $32.50 to $59.06, with the Albuquerque games costing more than the El Paso games. The table summarizes what I found.
| Source | Game | Lowest Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vivid Seats | Ice Wolves at Rhinos (El Paso) | $23 | High near $115 |
| Vivid Seats | Rhinos at Ice Wolves (Albuquerque) | $42 | One date showed few tickets left |
| Vivid Seats | All Rhinos games | $21 | Average about $42 |
| Price-comparison site | Ice Wolves at Rhinos (El Paso) | $32.50 | Listed as all-in |
| Price-comparison site | Rhinos at Ice Wolves (Albuquerque) | $59.06 | Listed as all-in |
These are snapshots for unspecified dates and they change daily. The Vivid Seats numbers are starting prices that may not include fees, while the comparison site's figures were labeled all-in, so do not compare the two columns directly.
Why Do Albuquerque Games Cost More on Resale?
On resale, the Albuquerque games start around $42 to $59, while the Ice Wolves' own seats ran $17.50 to $31 last season, so buying direct is usually cheaper for Albuquerque games. I cannot confirm why the resale prices are higher, but a plausible reason is that most seats are sold directly by the team, leaving little resale inventory and fees added by the marketplaces.
One marketplace showed only a handful of tickets left for one Albuquerque date, which suggests limited resale supply. For a small venue with a team-run ticket site, going straight to the team is the simplest way to avoid a markup.
How Do Fees Change the Price?
Fees can add a meaningful amount to a low ticket price, so a $21 listing can cost noticeably more at checkout. This matters most at this price level, where a fee of a few dollars is a large share of the total.
The fix is to compare all-in totals across the team's site, Ticketmaster, and one or two marketplaces before paying. Open each listing for a similar seat, proceed to the final checkout screen without paying, and compare the full amount. The comparison site's all-in figures of $32.50 and $59.06 show how much the total can differ from a starting price.
What Else Will You Spend?
Parking, programs, and concessions are extra. The Rhinos' older fan guide lists parking at the El Paso County Events Center at $5 and programs at $1, but that guide appears dated, so confirm current prices. I did not find parking details for Outpost Ice Arenas.
The same guide says children 2 and under do not need a ticket to the Events Center, and that merchandise and concession stands accept cards and cash. Policies can change, so check with the team before you go, especially for the Albuquerque games.
What Would a Night Cost for a Family of Four?
A family of four would pay roughly $72 to $236 for tickets alone, depending on where they sit and where they buy. The table uses the prices in this guide, before parking, food, and any fees not already included.
| Scenario | Per Ticket | Family of Four |
|---|---|---|
| Ice Wolves bleacher seat, direct (last season's price) | ~$18 | ~$72 |
| Ice Wolves chair seat, direct (last season's price) | ~$31 | ~$124 |
| El Paso game, lowest resale starting price | ~$21-$23 | ~$84-$92 before fees |
| El Paso game, comparison-site all-in price | ~$32.50 | ~$130 |
| Albuquerque game, comparison-site all-in price | ~$59 | ~$236 |
| Both nights of an Albuquerque pair, two bleacher seats each | ~$36 per person | ~$144 |
These are my own calculations from snapshots and last season's team prices, so treat them as a planning range. The children-2-and-under policy from the Rhinos' older guide could reduce the cost for families with toddlers, but confirm it with the team.
Is a Night of Junior Hockey Worth the Price?
For most fans, yes: at $15 to $42, a game of about 2 to 2.5 hours works out to roughly $6 to $21 per hour by my math, which is far below most pro sports and concerts. The seats are close to the ice in small venues, and the Rhinos and Ice Wolves have a recent playoff history.
The Rhinos swept the Ice Wolves in last spring's best-of-five semifinal, so these games carry rivalry weight, and tickets at this level let a family or a group of friends attend without a large budget. If you want to know how long a game runs before you plan your evening, our schedule guide covers puck drop, doors, and the likely finish time.
How Do You Pay Less?
• Buy direct for Albuquerque games: the Ice Wolves' own seats ran $17.50 to $31 last season, below the $42 to $59 resale starts.
• Choose bleacher seats: reserved bleachers cost roughly $13 less than chair seats per game on the Ice Wolves' site.
• Consider a flex pack: a 6-game pack works out to $15 per bleacher game, and vouchers can be used on any regular-season game.
• Compare all-in totals: a $21 listing can cost much more after fees.
• Check both nights: the two games in each pair may have different availability.
• Bring young children free if allowed: the Rhinos' older guide says children 2 and under do not need a ticket, so confirm before you go.
When Should You Buy?
Buy soon for the October 16 and 17 games and early for Albuquerque, since a small venue has limited seats and one marketplace showed few tickets left for an Albuquerque date. The Events Center seats about 2,800 people, so popular games can fill.
I did not find sellout information for these games, so there is no evidence of a rush, but there is also no reason to expect prices to fall. Tickets at this level are cheap enough that waiting saves little and risks losing your preferred seats.
How Do You Buy Tickets Safely?
The safest route is the team's own ticket site, then Ticketmaster for the Rhinos, followed by established resale marketplaces with a buyer guarantee. Even at low prices, stay with verified channels.
• Start with the official seller: the teams and Ticketmaster are the primary sources.
• Use marketplaces with a buyer guarantee: a refund or replacement policy protects you if a ticket is invalid.
• Avoid payments outside the platform: requests for Zelle, cash apps, or wire transfers are a leading sign of fraud.
• Be wary of screenshots and PDFs: a mobile transfer is safer than a static image that can be sold twice.
To see the spread before you commit, compare listings across marketplaces, either on a comparison site like TicketWhiz or by checking several yourself, and check our El Paso Rhinos vs. New Mexico Ice Wolves tickets page for all eight games in one place.
Final Thoughts
A Rhinos vs. Ice Wolves game is one of the cheapest nights out in live sports: resale lows of about $21 to $23 for El Paso games, $42 to $59 for Albuquerque games on resale, and $15 to $31 direct from the Ice Wolves. Buy direct for Albuquerque, compare all-in totals everywhere else, and consider a flex pack if you plan to go more than once.
