I found it funny when people comment on it, and say that they weren't selling it through the an approved reseller, when all they have to do is search "Flash Seats" and it shows up.

My personal experience
Ya they revoked mine for playoffs/next year too. We are in the same boat, Vacation home/don't go to all the games, etc. Last year I just would post up all my games and they would slowly sell. If they didn't sell and somebody was down there at the time we would go. Personally went to 8 games, parents and friends went to about 10-15 more. Buy and go to playoffs expect round 2 & 3, sell round 2 at face, sell round 3 at STH price. So I am going to games, even bought extras for the 3 SCF games for others.
Anyways decide to do they same thing this season, put up all the games on the site they want (last year stubhub, this year flash seats). Well within a week I've sold 36 games. I sold all my games between $70-$110 (all below face, STH price is $70 USD) depending on the game. Get an email warning that I've violated the terms of my tickets so I call to follow up and ask what I did so I don't do it again. The rep told me they do not disclose their process. Well how am I supposed to not violate the terms if I don't know what I did wrong?
I have 5 games left for the time frame my family will be in Vegas. I get an email a little over a week ago saying I'm cancelled, even though I hadn't done anything else. I finally get the rep to admit that the "warning" was all fake and that there was nothing I could of done to not lose my tickets since they were already sold. They are gonna be in for an eye-opener when the down cycle hits the team and they don't quite have as many STH's. I only had one year left on my commitment so it wasn't a big deal, however missing out on guaranteed ticket for a potential Vegas vs Calgary playoff series would of been nice.
