Henderson Silver Knights Tickets $35 | Ryan Rose

by Ryan Rose

What Happened

On August 11, 2026, the Henderson Silver Knights put 2026-27 group tickets on sale. The team set the group minimum at 10 people, and prices start at $35 per ticket. That is the headline number, and it is the one families should write down.

The Silver Knights are the American Hockey League affiliate of the Vegas Golden Knights. They play their home games at Lee's Family Forum in Henderson. The 2026-27 schedule includes 36 home games, which is a lot of chances to find a date that works for a busy family calendar.

Opening Knight is October 3, 2026, against the Bakersfield Condors. Bakersfield is the AHL affiliate of the Edmonton Oilers, so the first game of the year brings a real rival into the building.

The team is also selling more than just seats. Chambers luxury suites are available at Lee's Family Forum for groups that want a private space. That is the option a company party or a big family celebration would look at.

Then there are the Fan Experience Packages. These are add-on moments that put your group in the middle of the show instead of just watching it. The list includes recognition on the video board, on-ice intermission entertainment, watching warmups from the player bench, singing the National Anthem, and postgame photos on the ice.

Read that list again, because it is unusual. Very few pro sports teams will let a group of regular people stand on the bench during warmups or take pictures on the ice after the final horn. At an NHL arena, those moments are rare and expensive. In Henderson, they are part of the group ticket menu.

The other new piece of the 2026-27 season is behind the bench. Joel Ward is the new head coach of the Silver Knights. Ward played more than a decade in the NHL, and he is a familiar name to hockey fans in Southern Nevada. A new coach usually means a new style, and that gives fans something extra to watch during the year.

None of this is a mystery to find. The team announced the group ticket details on its own website, and the group ticket page is where families, coaches, and teachers can start the process.

It is worth being clear about what the announcement does and does not say. The $35 figure is a starting price for groups of 10 or more. The team did not publish a full price list for every seat in the building, and it did not publish costs for the suites or for each Fan Experience Package. Those are conversations you have when you contact the team with your group size and your date.

What the announcement does tell you is the shape of the offer. There is a low entry price for large groups, a premium option in the Chambers suites, and a menu of on-ice and in-arena experiences layered on top. A group can spend a little or a lot depending on what it wants out of the night.

Why It Matters to Las Vegas Residents

Let us talk about money, because that is really the story here. Taking a family of four to a major league game in this valley is not cheap. Add tickets, parking, food, and a souvenir, and the night gets expensive fast. A $35 group ticket changes the math in a way most families will feel.

Clark County School District started the 2026-27 school year on August 10, 2026, with more than 280,000 students. Every one of those students belongs to a class, a team, a club, or a band. Hitting a group of 10 is easy when you already have a roster and a group text. This is exactly the kind of outing a room parent or a coach can pull off without a fundraiser.

It matters for youth hockey families in particular. Ice time in this valley is tight. The city of Las Vegas is still working through the process of picking a builder for a two-sheet ice arena in the northwest valley, and families in Centennial Hills and Skye Canyon drive a long way for practice. Those same families now have an affordable way to take the whole team to a pro game and let the kids see where the work leads.

There is a quality of life angle too, and it is one I bring up with buyers all the time. When people ask what there is to do in Henderson, this is a real answer. Thirty-six home games at Lee's Family Forum is not a once a year event. It is a regular part of the fall and winter calendar, and it sits inside city limits instead of across the valley on the Strip.

Getting there is easier than a Strip game, and that is worth something on a school night. A weeknight game in Henderson means a shorter drive for most of the southeast valley, simpler parking, and an earlier bedtime for the kids. Anyone who has tried to leave T-Mobile Arena at 10:30 p.m. on a Tuesday knows exactly what I mean.

Finally, the arena supports jobs. Ushers, security staff, concession workers, ice crews, and camera operators all work those 36 nights. Those are steady shifts for Henderson and Las Vegas households, and the nearby restaurants pick up business on game nights.

There is also a school and nonprofit angle here. Group rates like this one give a booster club, a PTA, or a youth league a simple way to reward a season without asking every family to spend a small fortune. A team that just finished a rough year can still finish with a night everybody remembers.

Renters benefit as much as homeowners. You do not need to own a house in Henderson to use the arena, and a family renting in Green Valley or near the 215 Beltway has the same short drive as the neighbor down the street who owns. Community amenities are one of the few things in this valley that everybody shares equally.

Background and History

Hockey in Southern Nevada is still young. The Vegas Golden Knights arrived and turned this into a hockey market almost overnight, and the Henderson Silver Knights followed as the team's American Hockey League affiliate. The AHL is the level right below the NHL, so the players on the ice in Henderson are pros working toward a call up.

That is the part casual fans undersell. Watching an AHL game is watching the pipeline. Some of the players skating in Henderson this winter will be at T-Mobile Arena later. Fans who go regularly get to say they saw a guy in Henderson before anybody else knew his name.

Henderson has leaned into hockey in a real way. Lee's Family Forum hosts the Silver Knights, and America First Center in Henderson serves as another sheet of ice in the city. That combination gives the city both a pro venue and a community rink, which is not something most suburbs of this size can claim.

The roster keeps getting attention too. The Silver Knights signed 21-year-old forward Shane Smith to a one-year AHL contract for 2026-27. Smith scored 33 goals and put up 68 points in 61 games last season, and he won the Doug Wickenheiser Trophy as the Western Hockey League's Humanitarian of the Year. That is the kind of player a family team outing can get behind.

Group ticket programs are not new in pro sports, but the pricing tells you what a team is trying to build. At $35 for groups of 10 or more, the Silver Knights are clearly aiming at schools, youth sports teams, scout troops, and neighborhood groups rather than corporate buyers only. That is a long game strategy. Kids who go to games at eight years old become season ticket holders at 28.

It also fits the way Henderson has grown. This city added neighborhoods fast over the last two decades, and it added families along with them. Cadence, Inspirada, Anthem, and Green Valley all filled with households that wanted parks, ball fields, and something to do close to home. A pro sports team that prices its tickets for a classroom is answering that demand directly.

What Happens Next

The next date on the calendar is October 3, 2026. That is Opening Knight at Lee's Family Forum against the Bakersfield Condors, and it is the first of 36 home games in Henderson this season.

The Vegas Golden Knights open their season a few days earlier, on September 29, 2026, at home against the Chicago Blackhawks at T-Mobile Arena. Ryan Craig is the new head coach in Las Vegas, and Joel Ward is the new head coach in Henderson. Both teams start fresh eras in the same week, which makes this an interesting fall for hockey fans in Clark County.

Between now and October, the Silver Knights will finish setting their roster and get through training camp under Ward. Expect more signings and more roster news through late summer and September. If you follow the team, that is the stretch to watch.

Groups that want a specific date should not wait until October to start asking. Popular dates like weekends, holiday games, and theme nights tend to fill first at any arena. If your group has a target date in mind, the smart move is to reach out to the team early and lock it in.

The other thing to watch this year is the northwest valley ice arena decision. City of Las Vegas officials plan to review submissions and select a winning bid by the end of 2026. If that project moves forward, the valley gains two more NHL regulation sheets, and youth hockey in Clark County gets easier for everyone.

Watch the roster news too. Henderson is a development team, so players move up and down through the year. The forward who scores twice in front of your group in November could be at T-Mobile Arena by February. That churn is part of the fun of following an AHL club instead of only watching the NHL.

Ryan's Take

I sell homes across this valley, and I get the same question from almost every family moving here. What is there to actually do with the kids? Answers like this one are why Henderson keeps winning those conversations.

Henderson has quietly built one of the best value family sports experiences in Clark County. Pro hockey, in your own city, at a price a Little League team can cover. Add a Fan Experience Package and your kid stands on the player bench during warmups or sings the National Anthem in front of a real crowd. That is a memory, not just a Tuesday.

This connects to home values in a way that is easy to miss. Buyers pay for lifestyle, not just square footage. Parks, schools, restaurants, and things to do on a Friday night all sit behind the price of a house in Green Valley, Inspirada, Cadence, and Anthem. An arena that runs 36 nights a year is part of the reason Henderson holds its value the way it does.

The July 2026 median existing single-family home price in Southern Nevada was $480,000, according to Las Vegas Realtors. At that price point, families are making careful choices about where to live. Amenities like this one are part of what tips a decision toward Henderson.

My honest advice is to just go once this season. Pick a weeknight game, grab nine other people, and see the building for yourself. If your family likes it, you have a cheap winter tradition. If it is not your thing, you spent $35 finding out.

What You Can Do

Start by counting heads. You need 10 people to qualify for group pricing at $35 per ticket. A youth sports roster, a classroom, a scout troop, a church group, or a few families from your street will usually get you there in one text thread.

Next, pick two or three possible dates instead of one. Henderson has 36 home games, so flexibility helps you get the date and the seats you want. Then go to the Silver Knights group ticket page and start the request. If your group wants a Fan Experience Package like video board recognition, on-ice intermission entertainment, warmups from the player bench, singing the National Anthem, or postgame photos on the ice, ask about it when you first reach out, because those moments are limited.

If your group is bigger or you want a private space, ask about the Chambers luxury suites at Lee's Family Forum. That is the right question for a company outing, a milestone birthday, or a large family gathering.

Then plan the night itself. Look up the drive from your neighborhood, decide who is carpooling, and set a realistic plan for dinner. A little planning turns a group outing into a night everyone actually enjoys instead of a scramble in the parking lot.

One more tip for the parents. Bring a jacket. An ice arena runs cold, and kids who are shivering in the second period do not care who wins. It is a small thing, and it is the difference between a great night and an early exit.
