Then when the "Seven years in the Wilderness - Young Guns Era" came along, you could acquire the rights to those same seats for nothing by just paying the ticket price.
However, because of the significant growth in the population, the rise in the Canadian dollar etc. it may be futile to wait for that to happen today. Also, I believe the trading in rights is much more restrictive today. Does anyone know the official policy of the Flames on the trading of rights?

The tax department later got involved by tracking down STH holders who sold for a profit and got their pound of flesh.
I held on to mine for far too long and couldn't sell them so I gave the rights back to the Flames.
Now with all the games on TV and the ability to get tickets for the games you want, I have no desire to be a STH again.
