I was browsing for HC tickets and saw this on kijiji.
http://www.eliteticketscheap.com/
I called the contact number and someone answered. Guy says tickets will Fedexed overnight. Sounds legit.
Has anyone tried this? Any feedback?

Never heard of it... I don't know if I would risk it.
But you should try it and let us know how it goes!

I'd stick with stubhub myself. Little bit wary of anyone else.

If you check fanexchange.com, which is frequently advertised on the Fan960, you'll see that the listings are almost identical.
fanexchange charges like $30 as a "fee" on the pair of Heritage Classic tickets I looked at.
This site probably just charges an extra $10.

Stubhub wanted $50 in fees and delivery on a pair of HC tickets I was looking at. I want to go, but that is just silly.

Kjiji is probably the way to go for Heritage classic tickets unless you want really premium seats. Plenty of seats close to face value on there. And with the plastic tickets it would be tough to get screwed on them.

The worst part is the person selling you the tickets would probably have to pay another $75-100 depending on the price.

Seriously, they have to pay too? I figured they'd pay and the buyer wouldn't. But if the buyer is going to pay (and pretty high fees at that, then the seller wouldn't pay).
I still think I'm going to buy those tickets but the ticket business is getting outrageously stupid.

StubHub charges 15% to the sellers and 10% to the buyers. RazorGator is slightly cheaper.

Ya a big chunk too. My buddy sold some Elton John tickets on there for $500 and ended up with something like $415 by the time he got it in his account.

I compared some of their tickets to regular ticket suppliers, and they sure weren't cheaper. It just seems like someone made that site to profit off stupid people who are too stupid to look up regular ticket sellers.

I know the Flames are hot right now but if this event is anything like the GC 2 years ago you will easily find tickets for FV or less on game day.
There are literally hundreds of tickets listed online. Eventually all those people who want $350/ticket for tickets valued at $170 will realize they have to lower the price or attend. And since many of them are greedy aholes who only optioned their tix to make $$ they will have no interest in going to the game and will want to get rid of their tickets last minute.
You're probably looking for a pair but you could easily get a single for less than FV on gameday in a prime location.
With so many tickets listed for so much money eventually the market for tickets is going to die. At least I think it will.
Maybe if the Flames stay red-hot and move into a playoff position and this city gets Flames fever again the market will stay hot but I really don't think so. The GC in 2008 was the hottest ticket in town but everyone wanted to get max return for their tickets and it rarely happens that way.
