Supporters clubs usually get cheaper tickets and work with the club pretty heavily to organize it all. On top of that, Euro Soccer league season tickets are vastly cheaper than NHL prices (less games and more seats, adjusted for the amount of games they're closer) so going to every Man United home game will cost you less overall and be easier to manage than trying to go to every single Flames game.
It still would be awesome to see the Flames do something like that but the NHL is a family league. Supporters clubs are the rowdiest and most vulgar fans in the stadium usually. They also travel to every game so part of the reason for the rowdiness is to make sure you're louder than the away fans. I don't think we'd see much of that here outside of the games against Canadian teams.
