One thing to consider when budgeting, however, is that the odds of getting a "home game D" is quite unlikely. It would require the Flames having home ice advantage AND going to game 7 in that series. Each game back holders gets an A/C split for one round and a B/D split for the other included.
Realistically, it is unlikely that the Flames will be a higher seed in the playoffs and home ice advantage is a long shot. While this doesn't change the price per game, there is a very good chance that you'll be getting refunded/credited for one game even if the flames advance past the second round.
Despite being caught off guard by the magnitude of the increase, I'll still be renewing. It just leaves a bit of a bad taste.

Yes, but the other thing to consider when budgeting is how much money do I have NOW? That's great that they'll offer me a refund or it can go towards next year's tickets but I don't have over $1000 to spend NOW on 4 games we probably won't even play having just returned from holidays. There is no 'pay as you play' option for game pack holders... I can pay in one lump sum or in two payments but either way, I have to pay the full amount and I have to pay it within the next few weeks.
