Sooner isn't always better. You get to see the available seats first that were ditched since the end of the year. If ken0042 ditches his 2nd level seats for 1st level ones at 9:00am on June 18, anyone who went in before him doesn't see his become available. Since you can't add seats, in theory, if there were 300 cancellations and always other situations that have seats available, there should be 300+ by the 26th as well, just in different spots. People also don't always upgrade either...they downgrade or move locations to be closer to an exit or have lesser seats on another side of the building.
We have 3 seats, so pretty much screwed for any shifting, since we're not allowed (we would) to add one to get 4 together, or are we allowed to add one, while ditching a single from our group of 3, and split the 4 into 2 pairs.
We had 4 tickets (3+1) for 9 years (with the 1 being beside an acquaintance who was forced by the Flames in 2005 that he had to buy 3, even though he wanted just two, so I helped him out by picking up the extra).
A couple years ago, we had two come up nearby our 3 at this event...I asked if we could move our lone single over, and then buy up another to fill those two (giving us 5)...or, move a single from our 3 and the lone single to fill those two (giving us 4), and flat out denied.
Escalated that a bit and Cyr got in touch with me, and said that after that day, the ticket office supposedly called the people who had tickets adjacent to ours to see if they wanted to buy one of the singles we were ditching but no, and they don't want to let singles be created out of this....found out from those people the next year that they got no such call from Cyr or the Flames, and they would've bought that as a third.
So, we ditched the lone single and are back to 3, and from my acquaintence, it's gone unused since that point.
