I became a season ticket holder because I was tired of overpaying to go to games. $250 for $80 seats type thing.
So we bought our own season tickets, go to about 15 games a year (1 or 2 a month) and sell the rest off to a dist list of friends, and eventually friends of friends via word of mouth, all at face value price. Actually, 'tier 1' face value. Seats now have 4 door prices that change depending on the opponent or night of week. Our listed ticket prices this year were $108, $129, $139, and $149. So we just sell all our games at $108 regardless to keep it simple for everyone. They know the seats, they know the price, they know it's set regardless of team, night of week, or demand (for better or worse).
For ease of simplicity for what's available in real time, we made a website called www.facevaluetickets.ca. It's very Mickey Mouse but is just intended to show what's available all season long for our 2 seats.
If anyone's interested in joining our dist list, fire me a PM and provide me your email address and we'll add it on. We pick our years games in Sep based on what works for our families (etc) then send the rest off to our dist list of friends. This year we went to Buffalo and Colombus just because they worked out for us, and we left Mtl, NYR, Tampa, Washington, Chicago, etc. So we don't scoop up all the good ones.

This is our first year as ticket holders. We're in a great section in the flames attack zone at the hash marks. It's a higher row but we'll work our way down through relocation over time. We want to stay in that section though, it's a great spot.

I hope this helps and was ok to post. Mods, if not, please excuse my ignorance and delete if this is deemed against the rules or something.

Thanks all. Cheers.
