[News] Flames introduce paperless tickets

I always do electronic tickets, but if I had the option to go to the Flames website and punch in the game I went to and the seats I was in I'd buy a ticket stub.

Seems like a wasted marketing opportunity!

Even now that we have gone paperless I contact my rep every season and get the ticket stubs printed. But for the playoffs a nice glossy stub would be cool. I know some NHL city's still do it.

I kept the ticket stubs for most of the games I have attended in my life. I have replaced collecting those, with keeping the lineup card from each game I attend.

All in all though, I'm really happy with the paperless ticket system. With my NFL tickets, I have the option of going completely electronic. No card, everything on your phone. Which, I'm forgoing as I like adding that card to my collection every year.

Not sure if bumping this thread is appropriate or not sorry to the thread Nazi's if it isn't.

I took over my company's season tickets this year because... oil patch ... partners didn't want the company expense, and I didn't want to give up the rights to tickets I stayed in the Hot House forever for.

So ... now I need to resell some to save my marriage, lol.

Have any season ticket holders used the resell via NHL Ticket Exchange feature on their Flames account?

I have been trying using multiple browsers, and I can't seem to get it to go.

Is there a better way to resell tickets that you use?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[Weitz]

I've always resold tickets on the Ticketmaster re-sale as its super easy and convenient. They weren't Flames tickets but its the same concept.

I have posted tickets on the Ticketmaster Ticket Exchange site, but have not ever had any sell through it.

StubHub is another good option. If you post on there, remember that their prices are in US$, so set your price accordingly.

I've had the most success using the Ticket Exchange in the Buy & Sell forum right here on Calgarypuck. You can't sell for above face value on CP, but you can recoup at STH cost.

I've sold here in the ticket forum or on stubhub and both work out pretty good. Stubhub is very easy to use, but I can't really compare it to Ticket Exchange as I haven't used that one.

I sell all my premium games through the ticket exchange. Works perfectly for those games as they show up on the ticketmaster site as resell inventory. The non-premium games I just sell on there but they are a tough sell. I then use CP but rarely do I ever get even ST price.

What problems do you seem to have? Do you log in from My flames account or do you log in from ticketsnow site?

[bcneil]

Ticket exchange is very easy, I have already sold a preseason game this year on it. If you aren't able to use it, maybe call your rep to see if something is up with your account. I am in the payment plan, but it seems I can list as many games as I wish.

[Robbob]

I have pretty much used the ticket exchange exclusively when selling (usually a last resort if I can't give them away). I attend and give tickets to most of the games (sold around 6 games). I like the fact that you can credit your STH account. It makes the renewal a little better psychologically.

Also just got the email that the tickets have been mailed! That validates that the season is almost here.

Use this for re-selling your tickets... also for looking for tickets. Season ticket holders are the only ones that can post their tickets for sale and it is secure as the company acts as a middleman for the exchange. A CP member is the owner of the app and their customer service is great.

I think it was because my last payment installment hadn't been taken yet. Once I forced the payment through the option started working.

StubHub is the easiest to list and maintain (revise) events if you have more than a few tickets or events to list. StubHub also provides better information about what is selling and for how much.

One nice thing about Ticketmaster is that the graphical map gives an excellent overview of what is available with minimal effort. Also you do not need to download/upload or transfer your tickets.

I have used ticket exchange and just sell it on the app.
For stub hub, do I have to scan it to pdf and load it to the website? If I change my mind, can I reverse the process and sell it back on ticket exchange or get it back in e ticket?

If you list on stubhub you can do it 2 ways. One you wait till the print function starts to work, then upload the pdf files straight to stubhub. Or you can list your tickets without uploading the pdf, and only do so after they sell.
You can remove your listing anytime you want.

Stubhub buyers prefer if the tickets are already uploaded.
But that way it also shows seat numbers.....some teams don't like when you sell on stubhub and this will show them who is.

I sold almost all my extra games through tiktiks last season. Such an easy app to use and supporting a cp member is a bonus!

[burn_baby_burn]

It took a while, but I'm finding the ticket exchange to be a great way to sell the tickets I can't use. I used to sell all my tickets here on CP, but you are limited to only selling to CP members. When the Flames were winning it worked great. When they weren't I always had to sell at a lose.

Last season I attended about 13 games and sold the rest of my seats on the exchange with the proceeds going to my account. My renewal for two tickets was roughly $2,600. I had enough credit on my account that I only had to pay $800 to renew. That was in a season when the Flames stunk it up. I have already sold some preseason games this year and the New Years Eve game.

I do realize that it is probably easier to sell PL tickets because they are more affordable. That is part of the reason I haven't upgraded.

Echoing this comment, I strictly used TikTiks to sell mine last season too, was the easiest and most reliable way for me to sell. Quick and helpful customer service too.

I will checkout tikstiks as well.

When you sell on ticket exchange and pick seller credit, does it automatically gets applied to your account and lower your monthly payments? Or do you have to call your rep to apply the seller credit?

It is automatically applied.
