As much as loyal customers want to always be put first, it's a pretty common and sensible business practice to at least leave some things available to only new customers. Companies need to ensure they generate new revenue, and often have to resort to some form of preferential treatment for new customers to get it. Very unlikely an existing ticket holder walks away if they don't get what they want at relocation (and if they did, you could likely deal that up on a one off and find them what they need), but much more likely a new customer might not make the plung and spend the money if you don't have what they are looking for.
It's likely the right mathematical formula for the Flames to ensure they get the highest % of the building pre sold to season ticket holders that they can.

You can't do that if your process is otherwise seniority based. It's bull####.
