There is the one elevator to the suites, but you still need to take stairs. No way to avoid it for PL.

Do the restaurant tickets through ticketmaster still have the food credit during playoffs?

I suspect these will come down a bit as we get closer to the game. That's what I noticed between buying my tickets and the games actually happening.

The wording isn't in the emails, but it was when you committed to your season's seats for the playoffs. There was the box afterwards that you checked to indicate you would like the option to purchase more tickets. It was at this level there was a note that said you were not allowed to resell these tickets.

You could sit in those seats and resell your normal season's seats. You could transfer them to your friends, but you were, in theory, not allowed to sell them. Whether that is enforceable or not is another conversation. My guess was they would put a restriction on the tickets in your account that would prohibit them from being listed through ticketmaster. I didn't purchase any additional seats, so I don't know if they did it or not. I don't think they could limit transfers, so you could sell them on Fans First and transfer it to them, but the Flames didn't want you doing this.

I get the feeling the flames didn’t actually mean that. Probably something they said just to avoid being accused of feeding the scalper market. Hell, half the tickets listed as verified fan resales are probably directly listed by the flames.

How long do tickets bought from fansfirst.ca usually take to be emailed?

It was fairly instant if I recall from reg season BOA

[burnin_vernon]

Hmm, I ordered mine almost 3 hours ago...

I had some take about 24 hours last round.

Ok, thanks. It's not until game 5 so I'll hold tight.

The number of Oilers fans in the C of Red, one of the defining points of the Flames playoff home games, will be absolutely sickening. STH that ended up buying 6-8 more seats each now selling them in FB groups for $500+ per ticket, and any quick look in the profiles of those responding and buying can determine who they're fans of, but the sellers don't care, just make that money.

Game 5 tickets are technically not available yet, so I don’t think they will be transferring them your way anytime soon. Once they get released by the Flames, the transfer should come through from fansfirst.

I hate dealing with Ticketmaster. I sold some game 5 tickets for round 1 through TM instead of Fansfirst and I'm still waiting to be paid. I know that they say payment will be within 7 days after the event and it has only been 5 but it shouldn't be that difficult to get the payment setup. Fansfirst is always transfered the next day.

I ended up selling an extra pair I had bought from ticketmaster on there from first round, and I wasn't able to transfer them to fansfirst through the Flames system. They made an exception for me to sell, as it's playoffs and just asked me to make sure I send them the tickets ASAP from the time they sell.

Could be a case of the actual ticket holder not having forwarded tickets over to fansfirst yet.

Low key hate that prices look to be so high for resale for Game 1/2. Guarantee its mostly ugly Oilers fans buying them up.

A physical cheque is mailed from the States for these. On average they take about three to four weeks to reach my house when I sell a game through Ticketmaster. It’s hilarious you think you would already have a cheque from game 5. I sold the April 21st regular season game against Dallas and the payment hasn’t arrived yet. I’m also waiting for the April 23rd game to be paid out.

Selling through CP gets you money before the game. Fans First pays you the day after the game. Ticketmaster takes a month, but they reach a far greater audience.

Ticketmaster has to be one of the most legalized "scam" systems in the world.
The double dip fee's is hilarious.

By far better selling privately (CP, Kijiji when you used to be able to etc)
It's a shame they've been allowed to operate as long as they have.

I thought they do direct deposit now? They have my banking info, I have done the tax declaration indicating that so am Canadian and I have previously verified my bank account details with their test deposits.

They manipulate ticket prices, the same way hedgefunds manipulate the stock markets.

Ticketmaster is a friggin cartel with how they control the ticket system. Seeing seats listed for $500 but then another $130 in fees is crazy. What is worse is the person selling the ticket is also getting nailed with fees.
