Katz probably wanted too much money.

I've never been to an NBA game, so will probably check this out. Assuming, of course, that they don't expect us to pay regular season NBA prices.

Maybe they overlooked basketball setup at the new arena in Edmonton.

When I went a couple of years ago I payed $50 for a first row seat in the second level at Rogers Arena.

Nah. 19,500 for bball and great sightlines. Edmonton is a dump but the arena looks solid... gotta say. It's a sparkling gem in a dump of a downtown with third world country quality roads.

That's an interesting price range, I would assume $16 is PL. Still lower ticket prices than I was expecting which is good.

Generally with Flames Season Ticket presales, it's linked to your season ticket account, so it's not always possible.

I don't think the code is account linked, the code I got was the same as the code my company got.

I went to the Naismith Cup (or whatever it was) in Calgary between the Vancouver Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors and it was pretty cool.

I don't watch a lot of basketball now and especially not pre season. Do the stars play in pre season games or is it just the bench guys?

If the code is generic, can any of the Season Ticket holders mind sharing it? Or PM me? Thanks in advance.
