A person upset about resale, or the lack of beer is justified… but shouldn’t call themselves the “most loyal” because they are getting screwed.

Are the most loyal fans the ones that rearrange their entire lives to attend all games? What about those who have conflicts that come with life like work, childcare, and other obstacles that make it tough to get to 40 games a year. Now those tickets are unable to be sold for anything close to the cost incurred by the season ticket holder.
I am going to donate all my games under these restrictions that I can’t give away to friends and family but it sucks that it could end up being $1000 or more of money lost in my pocket.
The Flames have the option to sell 50% of the dome that onus should be on them not putting that back on the fans who invest thousands of their hard earned dollars for the live game experience. As soon as these restrictions were announced there should have been an opt in or opt out for STH. They would k pe who opted in and how any remaining tickets they had to sell to hit the 50% limit. The fans they cherish the most are the ones who are scrambling to try and recoup a fraction of the money they lost because there have only had 48hrs to try and sell their tickets.
