2015-16 Season Ticket package -- It's your tix in a box
Yesterday, I received the shipping notice for my season tickets for the upcoming season. I was expecting a small booklet like we received last year, and was surprised when this is what showed up...
Under the cardboard sleeve...
A metal box about 10" x 7" x 2" with the Flames logo and a photo of the C of Red printed on the front.
Oh my... What wondrous surprise could be inside? Chocolates? Could it be full of Skittles?
Two plastic cards and a 10-page pamphlet about the size of a CD case. The whole contents are about 1/4" deep.
Oh well, no chocolates. No Skittles... at least not until I fill it with Skittles.
OMG, guys... It's almost hockey season again!!!

Just basic instructions on how to use your ticket card and manage your tickets online.

First time season ticket holder. Received the box yesterday as well. It will be a little less fun picking games with my buddies without the nice cardstock tickets, but probably a better system for the Flames.

So how does it work for businesses who purchased the seasons to give to clients? They have to print off each set of tickets to each game to give out? That seems stupid...

The Flames will still print your tickets on plain stock, you just have to ask. It's free again this year.

That is what I don't like the wording in the booklet of "complementary e-ticket forwarding" until next year when ticket tax and tax on tax has to be applied for CalgaryNEXT.

Jets have the same thing but you can also get some cards for your group to load games on it. I miss the old ticket system but it's actually pretty easy to manage.

I like the idea that Peg brings up. The price of these cards is nominal. They should let you buy 2-3 extra and load the games on there. Would be pretty slick.
The whole E-Ticket scenario is a dream for selling tickets, transferring tickets and last minute transactions. It's really so much better than paper stock tickets.
The cards look awesome this year.

I'm calling to get my tickets printed as well, just like I have done since they stopped printing all the tickets.
Probably saves them a quarter million dollars or more to just have the cards instead of the printed tickets.

This is my biggest concern. Take away the paper tickets, but get cards and free forwarding. Then a few years later there will be a "nominal" charge for forwarding/printing, and now those of us who share tickets are paying a bunch extra over and above the usual price increase.

You can log in on your cell and take a screen cap of the QR code for the ticket. Just forward the screen cap. I typically do this for my ticket to mitigate any web issues there might be when I am in line to get into the game. The card is my back up. First world problems being to lazy to take the card out of the wallet.

I purchased some tickets which were transferred to my Account. How would I see the face value of these tickets?
