That pickup fee is absolutely insane and I refuse to let you pay that lol, both as a friend and a fan. I say use Stubhub. Stubhub is often season ticket holders selling their seats and often it's a great deal. I used it to get my Bruins tickets, which cost a lot just because it's an original six team and the current champs. There are some fees, if I recall correctly, but not as much as THAT, and you can choose many options of pickup including instant download for some.

I went ahead and looked up Avalanche @ Ducks and Coyotes @ Kings for you. Those are some sweet deals there!

Besides, you can always buy a souvenir puck at the shop. Or go down to the ice side for pre-game warmups with a sign politely requesting a puck and sometimes a guy will toss one over to you.
