It's the last game of the season against Vancouver, so even if both teams are out of the playoff race, it will still probably be tough to get tickets. If both teams are out, it will probably be easier than if the game actually means something to one or both teams.

The way things are looking, I'd bet more on it being a meaningless game than a meaningful one. More than likely, resale prices will be lower closer to the game than they are now, but there's no guarantee.

Personally, I'd wait a few more weeks. If you really want to live dangerously, the team always releases a bunch of seats that are held for league and player requests until a few hours before the game, but then you'd have to make sure you're close to a computer all day, which you probably don't want to do.
