It's usually a 1-2k short of a sellout judging by checking their interactive seat map just minutes before most games. They have their ways of "getting rid" of tickets, but yeah it's usually pretty short of a sellout.
The biggest empty spots are exactly where that guy and his friends were moved to. The top of the tall part of the lower bowl usually has 4-5 rows of 10 seats in a row available.
The funniest thing was during a playoff game in '15 against the Ducks where they didn't come close to selling out. Posters were pointing out entire rows that were empty with 5 minutes to game time, then during the opening and anthems the Flames had actually brought dudes in to stand in the middle of those rows with huge Flames flags. They were dancing and running back and forth across the rows cheerleading to the crowd.
