As discussed large crowds are a bad idea for the foreseeable future.
Selling games I can not make is not as easy - the above 2 will make it harder maybe considerably harder.
The flip side of the above - not hard to buy 5-10 games a year including premium games at close to STH cost and non premium games well below that price especially if the seats are 'premium' seats.
Pretty surprising to see the local and world economy crash and Flames ticket prices increase. They are a nice 'want' but I don't think anyone would classify them as a 'need' but they increase prices - makes zero sense.
Everyone is in a unique financial and personal health situation but I am on the fence to renew and right now I would say it is better than 50% I give up my seats - curious what other people are thinking.

I'm in the same boat. Frustrating when you can't even sell for STH cost for half the games and can just buy a pair on CP for less than you paid in better seats.
The "perks" of being a STH aren't justifying the cost at this point.
Maybe if I was gong to playoff games right now it would be a different story, but even still it wasn't terribly hard last year to get extra playoff tickets.
