I declined to renew my season tix last year as
1) two of the 4 guys I split with bailed
2) for the games I could go to but needed someone to join me, often it took checking with a few people - there were many declines
3) when I couldn’t go, the tickets didn’t generally bear more than STH cost on the market
4) when I felt like going to a game and didn’t have the tickets, I could find other STH who would sell at cost or near cost
5) once the hassle of the economics and ticket management was done, the on ice product under Ol’ Gul was bad
The Flames contacted me with offers for half season tickets and game packs. They are trying to get creative with ticket packaging. Too many years have passed since the good will generated by 2004, and even the glimmer of life and potential shown from the one Hartley year that was subsequently squandered.
