Now obviously his math doesn't make sense because of STHs who might buy two seats for a whole season thus eating up 90 transactions with 1 transaction. He acknowledges this fact but then pushes on with his 850,000 transaction ideas.
Let's presume 10,000 seat ticket holders (e.g., 10,000 individuals buying 45 tickets each), which might be a low assumption. That accounts for 450,000 of their 850,000 transactions, leaving them needing to find 400,000 transactions from the remaining 1.2 million Calgarians.
