The Flames never sent emails out the day of the game before the last couple years and not nearly at the same frequency as this year. They are sent almost every single game now. In fact, the only ones are I can remember not getting one for in months are Winnipeg and San Jose (for obvious reasons). So clearly it's related to walk-up ticket sales lacking if the email isn't sent for games that are obvious sell-outs.

Sport Chek zone came after 2004. They had those seats tarped from about 97-98 up until the 2004 playoffs. So Sport Chek and Co-Op who had the other side (i think they did for a season at least, might be wrong on that) were never involved in the early 2000's.
