The Knights, perpetual sold out building, first place team, huge excitement, make the playoffs in their inaugural season, and then give their fans discounts on playoff tickets?
The Flames playoff tickets to my family’s season ticket prices were like a 60% increase or something crazy like that.
Lol.

Discounts off of what you’d pay with opting out, and then of course face value of the tickets which is more $ still.
Our first round Flames tickets would’ve cost about 30% less then what the face value is, and IIRC, that discount actually increases slightly as rounds go on and face values go up; again, over face value. And that’s about the discount for playoff tickets vs face value as it’s always been in our 15+ years.
Without a benchmark of history, Vegas can jack up face values to some super high level, and then offer the tiered discounts for the STH holders depending if they use the program or not.
It’s smart business for a very unique market...it’s also made a bit less complicated by having Stubhub as the partner for resale. With the Ticketmaster resale option like the Flames have, it becomes a bit more complicated with them being the regular ticket provider.
Also, wonder how that works if you have 3 buddies as part of your group...since you cant transfer them via email you’d have to all arrive at same time using the main ticket holders phone?
