I think there will be pretty strong availability for new STH in the corner whites though...

I agree. We try to go to most of the games, but often have to get rid of tickets on short notice. Over the last few seasons, we have found the resale market has completely dried up, even at STH pricing, for our Blue Row 19 seats. We did renew all 4 seats and I fully expect to have sell games below cost, and sometimes have them go empty this season. Hard sell when you are coughing up over $13,800 for tickets. I think there are several reasons it is hard to unload our tickets.
1. Overall demand is down and "free" tickets seem to be more available. People who used to buy one or two games, now seem to get their hands on free tickets.
2. Competing with White Row 11 seats at the same STH cost as our Blue Row 19 seats.
3. Competing with Greens at about 1/2 of the STH cost.
4. Competing with PL at about 1/3 of the STH cost.
It would be nice if the Flames made a STH price distinction between the Blue and the White tickets, but I am not holding my breath.
