Last-minute plane tickets are hundreds of dollars less than regular prices - and you'll land with plenty of time before Game 6 starts

Vancouver Canucks fans keen to witness Game 6  in the playoff series against the Nashville Predators can score a deal on this last-minute flight.

While Vancouver's hometown team couldn't get a win in Game 5, they have another chance to beat their Tennessee rivals on Friday, May 3. 

If the Canucks are victorious in Game 6, they'll move on to the next round. If not, they will return to Rogers Arena in Vancouver to play Game 7 against the Predators on Sunday, May 5. 

The Nashville Predators have barred people from living outside the Nashville Predators television viewing area - Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia - from purchasing tickets through Ticketmaster. Vancouverites may not buy tickets through resellers, since ticket transfers have been disabled for the Predators' playoff games at Bridgestone Arena.

But locals could try getting friends or family living in Nashville to purchase tickets. 

Flights from Vancouver to Nashville to watch the Vancouver Canucks 

Die-hard fans who find a way to score tickets to Game 6 can catch a red-eye flight from Vancouver to Nashville on Thursday, May 2, offering plenty of time to settle before the puck drops. 

United Airlines has a flight departing from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) at 10:35 p.m. on Thursday that makes one stop in Washington for under two hours before arriving at Nashville International Airport (BNA) at 9:35 a.m. on Friday. The return flight departs Nashville at 6:40 a.m. on Saturday and makes one stop for under an hour in San Francisco before arriving in Vancouver at 1:12 p.m. (see slide two).

The ticket costs $465, which is considered "low" for an Economy class ticket or $310 cheaper than usual, according to Google Flights. 

Accommodation prices in Nashville range from around $100 to $1,000 but most hotels cost between $150 and $250 for Friday night.
