Default First (possible) game at the Dome.

My Father in law is a Flames fan (lives in Calgary) and we are going up to see them for easter, and I thought it might be fun to grab some BOA tickets for the Saturday while we are there. I don't want to shell out a fortune, but I don't want terrible seats either. Is Press Level nosebleeds? Should I be looking for something better?

Found a set for $50/ticket on kijiji which is about where I want to pay.

Edit: Found some in 207's for $120/pair. Might be better.

Press level is nosebleeds. 207 would be much better.

Yeah 120 for a pair in the 200s is probably as good as you'll get.

You might be able to convince a disillusioned CP season ticket holder to give you some for free .

Don't waste your money on PL.

Game doesn't matter so I bet you can get 200 level for less than $100 day of. I could last BOA and the game still mattered.

Definitely shoot for 200's. I find the press level seats feel like you are in a different building, and it also can be harder to see the puck from up there. The prices at the ends of 200 are usually pretty reasonable.

Given the state of the Flames season (and lineup at the moment with no Tkachuk, Monahan and possibly Gaudreau), tickets might not be too hard to come by.

You should totally wait, its going to be a buyer's market by then. You might be able to negotiate down to a case of beer for two tickets, and not the good type of beer.

While I would generally I agree with the sentiment, let's not confuse our apathy of this season with that of the more common fan. Inversely, it's a Saturday night game during a long-weekend against their biggest rival and second best player in the league. It still could pique some interest and would suck to miss out on the game over trying to save $20 bucks or so as it gets closer to game time.

Stub hub has some third row, Section 106 on for 120 USD each. For $150+ fees, that's a pretty great deal out there for someone.

Oh wow, stupid Stub hub fees..

Flames have packed it in; meanwhile, McDavid piling on the points in garbage time.

I actually wouldn't be surprised to see more Oilers fans than Flames fans in the building...

1) I wouldn't buy tickets off kijiji
2) The ticket exchange on CP is a great source as we get closer to the game
3) NHL Ticket Exchange is guaranteed tickets and many sellers have it set up to reduce the price as the game approaches. Given the demand shouldn't be overly high for that game, I would wait until a day or 2 before and pull the trigger then.

Why pay like 25% in fees on ticketmaster when you can find the same tickets on kijiji for cheaper usually? Tons of people list them on ticketmaster but also on kijiji and will pull them down if they find a buyer on kijiji.

Also check out TikTiks.

App created by a CP'er, also has an FB page for exchanging tickets. I've used it in the past for some playoff games.

IMO PL214 and PL5 front row are the best deals available for Flames tickets. Right at center ice looking straight down with a video game like view of the entire ice. If the $50 tickets are in that area and that's your budget I would go with those.

For value, I don't think there is anything better than the first row of the PL's if you can get close to center ice.
