I guess I don't see the issue with a STH selling their tickets for what the Flames have determined as being "Face Value" for any given game. Are they making a little bit based on the average price per ticket paid; sure.

But have a look at the ticket forum today. Tickets vs. the Wild are going for around 60% of face value; which is below STH "cost." There will be a few games like this throughout the season. Out of the 45 games the STH pays for, the follow typically sell for below cost:
- Wild (3 games)
- Pre-season (4 games)
- Coyotes, Blue Jackets, and Preds (2 games each.)
- Random East coast team; like the Islanders, Panthers, etc.

Let's keep in mind the spirit of the Ticket Sales forum is to allow members to have fair exchange of tickets. The idea is to have one value for any given game so that moderation of the forum can be accomplished without hiring somebody to audit every transaction.
