Prices are actually decent on ticketmaster, but I think stub has them for below face value a lot of the time. Their website should also have promotions, last year we got a flames ticket in phoenix and all you can eat for $35 for a decent second level seat.

Actually, Coyotes are doing pretty damn well with their ticket sales, someone on the Coyotes forum ran a few numbers for the first 10 home games and I believe every game had only less than 2000 tickets per game left for sale.

The way the Coyotes list their ticket prices first determines by whether or not the game is a "premier" game; against Blackhawks, Penguins, Red Wings, etc. I already have my tickets for the Coyotes home opener tomorrow and the lower-level center ice is $122 from I believe the 4th row to all the way back. Lower-level at the ends are $82 dollars from the 4th row to all the way back as well. Upper-level for Coyotes games tend to sell out quicker than lower-level but as for the prices up there, I think there are only two different prices that distinguish upper-level center and upper-level ends.

If you are making some serious moves to Phoenix, I think you should do the "4 Game Pick 'Em Plan", you pick 2 or more tickets per game for 4 games and they are a significant amount cheaper. Also, the more tickets you buy all together, the cheaper they will be individually, just like drugs.

There is always a really good environment when the Flames come and visit the Coyotes here. I'd expect at LEAST 16,000 people to show up to any Coyotes home game against the Flames.

If you are trying to look for the best deal, besides scalping, I'd call the ticket sales hotline: 480-563-PUCK

Good luck!

Hey to break it to you Nick, was down there last year, got my tickets for Flames vs Coyotes for 20 bucks a pop, free concession lower bowl, was pretty much a home game for the Flames.

Henry just buy from a scalper plenty of good deals.

The Coyotes have an email newsletter they send out any time there is a ticket promo. I was down there a couple years ago to see the Flames play and it was great! Jobbing.com arena is gorgeous, and Arizona's an awesome state in so many ways.

Plenty of great seats available on Ticketmaster right now, no need to give your money to a scumbag scalper.

Great arena down there, have fun.

henry07 · 10-15-2010, 01:49 PM

lol. thanks guys. i have looked on ticketmaster and they have some good seats available. I was just seeing if they had promos that included food or something with the tickets.

Engine09 · 10-15-2010, 02:05 PM

I've actually been getting emails from the Coyotes since I went down there for a game in Oct 08. Just checked the most recent email but there was no mention of any deals, just links pointing you right to ticketmaster.

Ice · 10-15-2010, 03:28 PM

Basically it breaks down like this:

Upper level - 45.00
Lower Level sides - 112.00
Lower level ends/corners - 75.00

Plus fees, of course.

I suggest not waiting. I was unpleasantly surprised to find out that there was not a lot available when purchasing tickets yesterday for a group of us who will be there. I wouldn't wait too long to get them, especially if you want your group to sit together.

You can get four together in the uppers for $15 each:

These prices will probably go down as the game gets closer.

It's not really a discussion, it's a fact. Don't waste your money on ticketmaster, like most sports you can get a way better deal on gameday. I spent 40 bucks for 2 seats in the lower bowl with concession.

$40 bucks in the lower level with concession?? when did you go to that game?

Poe969 · 10-15-2010, 04:27 PM

They're so hurting for people to go watch the games, I'm sure if you really push it you could get the tickets for free as long as you pay for your own heroin beer

Is the "with concession" part of the actual (lower bowl) ticket? We're thinking of doing a road trip to Phoenix this year and would love cheap tickets plus all you can eat

PegCityFlamesFan · 10-15-2010, 06:25 PM

Was last year, can't remember the exact date but was visitng my folks who live in Phoenix for the Winter. Was the PPV game where Backlund I believe got his first or second goal probably in Feb or March. Went to a shootout, pretty good game, very nice arena.

Sounds like Toyota Club tickets. Last year we paid 130.00 for them. This year they're 210.00 - 347.00.

Phoenix may not be selling out, but there are fewer tickets available than I've seen in years, and I go to the Flames games there every season. The prices are higher and there are fewer seats available a month before the game. I wouldn't be surprised if they managed a sell out since its a Friday night game and there are tons of snowbirds that will make the trip from surrounding cities when a Canadian team comes to town.

henry07 · 10-16-2010, 09:07 AM

unfortunately i wont be there to watch the yotes play the flames. when im there they will be playing the stars so im sure there will be tickets available for that game

Suzles · 10-25-2010, 11:28 AM

My hubby wants to take me to a Flames game at Phoenix on November 12th. (Bless him!) Can anyone tell us the best way to go about setting this trip up? Best seats to go for, etc.

We were only looking at going for one day - leave Calgary on the Friday and come back on the Saturday.

Anyone else stayed at the Marriott SpringHill Suites before - they say it is walking distance from the arena?

Any other help and advice would be appreciated.

Kipper is King · 10-25-2010, 11:56 AM

First off, Jobbing.com Arena is awesome! Sitting anywhere in that big lower bowl will give you a nice view.

There's the Westgate entertainment complex outside the arena, which has some fun bars/restaurants. Lots of Flames fans will be hanging around there before and after the game! (check out the Go Flames Go chant after a Flames win for a game I was at- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F75STN3_y1M)

There isn't much around Glendale other than the arena. I'd say your best bet would be to check out areas like Scottsdale (quite stylish if you avoid the cheesy souvenir stores) and Sedona if you can make the drive (beautiful rock formations- what the desert looks like in your dreams!).

Enjoy the trip, and I hope the Flames play well down there.
