I don't think this has been resolved yet. They said they have looked at how other teams have handled moves to new buildings. They are aware some STH's are still upset how they were treated during the Saddledome renovations. A design centre is planned for the fall with models and visuals, similar to the ticket seller sites where you will be able to see the views from all of the seats.
I am not confident and requested a meeting with the CEO or exec in charge of STH allocations to discuss. I am waiting to hear back from my account manager.
Here's one example of why I am already frustrated. Our family has had season tickets since the Flames moved from Atlanta. I used to go with my dad to games at the Corral when I was a kid. Believe or not I remember being at the very first game: a 5-5 tie against the Quebec Nordiques. But our account manager said that our account only shows us as holding season tickets since 1983 when the Saddledome opened. They don't even know we had tickets in the Corral. How is that possible? So does that mean STHs who had tickets dating all the way back to when the Flames played in the Corral will not be given any additional priority? Sounds like it. That's not good.
