AHL Outdoor Classic Hockey Tickets
Get your AHL Outdoor Classic tickets at TicketSmarter to experience an outdoor ice hockey matchup! The AHL Outdoor Classic is an annual American Hockey League game held in an outdoor stadium or ballpark. Similar to the NHL Winter Classic, the outdoor game will usually feature two rival teams competing at a neutral site where an ice rink will be built on the stadium’s usual playing field. Each event features its own unique name and branding, but they are colloquially referred to as the AHL Outdoor Classic by the league and its fans.
The inaugural game was held in 2010 and was known as the Mirabito Outdoor Classic with the Syracuse Crunch defeating the Binghamton Senators. It took place at the New York State Fairgrounds and was the AHL’s first outdoor game in the league’s history. Since then, the game has been held at a variety of venues including Hersheypark Stadium, Memorial Stadium, and Citizens Bank Park. Each year features new and exciting matchups with some teams having competed in the event multiple times including the Hershey Bears, Bakersfield Condors, and Toronto Marlies.

AHL Outdoor Classic Ticket Prices
Several factors will affect AHL Outdoor Classic ticket prices during the lead up to the game. The teams playing in the event, the stadium location, seating capacity, and seating location inside the stadium will all have a major impact on how much AHL tickets will cost for the game.
How much are AHL Outdoor Classic tickets?
AHL Outdoor Classic tickets will usually start around $35. Tickets closer to the ice rink and located near the centerline will usually start at prices around $100. Fans looking for cheap AHL Outdoor Classic tickets should look for seats in the upper levels of the stadium and behind the goals as they will be the least expensive options.
AHL Outdoor Classic Date & Schedule
The AHL Outdoor Classic events are individually organized and therefore do not have a set date. The game will generally take place during December, January, or February as those are the coldest months of the year that will support an outdoor ice rink. The AHL Outdoor Classic schedule will typically include a fan fest and other hockey games featuring local and regional college teams.
The Outdoor Classic took a brief hiatus after the 2018 matchup between the Hershey Bears and Lehigh Valley Phantoms at Hersheypark Stadium. The event returns in 2021 with the Empire State Classic between the Utica Comets and Syracuse Crunch at Griffiss Business & Technology Park.

AHL Outdoor Classic Seating Chart
The AHL Outdoor Classic seating chart uses the host stadium’s grandstand seating. Additional bleacher seating may be added to the field in order to get fans closer to the ice. Rinkside seating is typically not available due to the unique setup of having an ice rink on a football or baseball field. Certain areas of seating such as seats closer to the centerline will be in higher demand and more expensive as a result. Seating options will generally be available along the sides of the rink and behind each goal.
