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.

I'm a game pack holder as well and opted to get the playoff tickets largely based on this. There's almost no way the Flames will get home ice advantage, so as you said there's one game gone already.
Then they have to make the second round. If they don't ,then there's another one or two games gone depending on which configuration of games you get.
Realistically I'm hoping for four games but it's more likely I'll get to go to one or maybe two.
