Those events are independent of the CSEC business, which is why the Event Center is more than just an arena for the Flames and CSEC.

Is it not CSEC who oversees the rental of the building (and all services and amenities within) per their agreement with Saddledome Foundation?
Aside from the show on the stage and the actual mechanism of selling tickets (though I think they are involved to an extent with managing the relationships of premium seats and suites having first right of refusal for other events), CSEC is in charge of everything else (staffing ushers, security, concessions, custodial, parking, many other logistics, etc.), and takes all/most of the revenue generated from these additional sources...
Perhaps not technically, but they are essentially a co-promoter of almost every event.
