When a concert or event comes to town, CSEC is not the promoter or the entity putting the event on. The promoter would pay CSEC for the costs + a service charge of certain building operation staff like ushers, concessions, and security. CSEC isn't in the business of bringing those events to Calgary.
Those events are independent of the CSEC business, which is why the Event Center is more than just an arena for the Flames and CSEC.
