Playoff tickets for dummies

[Stanley]

Man, I would love to get a chance to attend a playoff game. Haven't been since '04 game vs Canucks when the Flames lost that game in triple OT after an amazing comeback...the only playoff game I've ever been to.

What's with the Sportchek FB draw where you put in a "comment"?? Seems kinda lame...

Nope.

I actually bought tickets for close to face value off him to take the wife to her only playoff game last time they were in.

I find that oddly comforting.

He even bought me a beer prior to the game at Vegabond.

Does anyone know if Coop has tickets for the playoffs?

Bronco guy and his buddies are a bunch of punks.

Threatened me for selling a playoff ticket for face value on their turf after they low balled me for it. After selling it to some other randoms for face value (costing them a sale) they asked if I wanted to go down to the lower LRT platform and discuss it further with him and his buddies and then the other punk (non-bronco guy that's always there) told me selling tickets for face value around there would get my face smashed in and got all up in my face. I was 19 at the time.

I wouldn't give those degenerates a penny of my money if they had the last ticket to game 7 in the finals for sale. #### them!

Do This.

Neeper is a fellow CalgaryPuck member and has both the app and website to purchase tickets from.

https://tiktiks.com/

This has been my go-to place to sell off games I can't make it to.

A bit off-topic but friendly reminder to sell your tickets to Flames fans only, ESPECIALLY if we play Edmonton! We don't need any blue amongst our C of Red!

so lesson learned, He who hesitates is lost, because I am a shift worker, I had to wait to see the actual date. When that came out tonight, I went to Stub Hub and PL tickets started around $73 US and there were quite a few. After checking out another site for aprox 2 mins, they went up to $155 US for the same crappy PL Seats, fortunately I was still able to grap 2 PL tickets for $103 Cdn each on ticketmaster, plus a wonderful $50 service fee (thanks ticketmaster) Whatever I'm in Baby!

[bigbadboss101]

Someone on FB posted screen shots from Flames ticket personnel saying FV for whites are $249 each. Is it really that high? Anyways I sent a mail to my ticket rep asking her for the FV of PL and Whites for round 1 and 2. Let see what kind of answer I get. If that is the case then I sold home game 1 and 2 few days ago for below face ;-)

I have deleted some posts. This is not the place to advertise that you have tickets for sale.

I bet they come down closer to game time.

I thought the prices in the PL on the NHL Ticket Exchange were reasonable. I know closer tickets are more desirable, but if money is an issue, I don't think you can go wrong. In 2004 I sat at the very top of the nosebleeds for almost every game and just being in the building was well worth it. The clinching games over the Wings and Sharks were epic.
