No, Im more inclined to hold on to them because I am all for the rebuild and want to watch these kids develop and play with heart not like what I'm paying to watch now is a bunch of over payed bums that I wont miss to see gone by summers end. Until the team gets really good Id probaly sell some tickets through out the seasons.

300s. The new rink wont be bigger than the current, and almost certainly smaller.

I have been a season ticket holders since 2004 and at one point considered dumping my tickets if Iggy was traded.

Now it is about value for entertainment, and as long as I continue to be entertained at hockey games, I am going to keep my tickets. We get to see a bunch of eastern conference teams next year and less CBJ.

If it got to a point where the dome was back at 14 thousand fans, and the product on the ice is crap, and I am stuck with some tickets that no one wants, and there is no waiting list or season tickets, I would likely get rid of my tickets.

But I have two kids I want to take to a bunch of games, so it will be a while before I get rid of them.

I'm worried about this for my seats too. Most newer arenas have larger lower bowls, which means my super awesome row 1 of the second bowl seats will likely be much further back and not nearly as cool. I guess if they drop in price to compensate that would be ok... but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Somewhat related, but has anyone used Stubhub to sell tickets? Or any other reseller sites that I should look into?

No way, I will definitely keep my game packs. The only way I would consider giving them up is if I somehow get screwed/face a massive price increase when we finally move into a new rink.

Oddly, I am even more excited to be a Flames fan then I have been in a while. Just ready to see what comes in the next couple of years.

I have a feeling every season ticket holder that doesn't sell off is a hypocrite. Or maybe, the spoilers were righ???

So has anyone changed their minds with all that has gone down the last week or so? I'm surprised we haven't seen the renewals out yet. I wonder if they are/were waiting to see if we'd make the playoffs before setting the prices. Could be a tough sell if there is an increase for next year.

Considering the fact they raised ticket prices for this season and the crap quality of hockey we've observed over the last few years, I'm definitely not renewing my tickets (Had them since 2002-2003).

It's been also much more difficult to even get STH cost on tickets to be sold when I can't attend the games so it's not even worth keeping them.

Myself and my family have had season tickets for over 15 years, and I can honestly say this is the most excited i've been for an upcoming season since the 2005 lockout.

I'm not planning on cancelling my season tickets. If anything, I'll be looking for better seats at the relocation event.

I'll be going to flames games for the rest of my life, through all the ups and downs. Playoff droughts don't last forever! I am in it for the long haul. And even though we were crap this year in the standings, there were some awesome home games.

I will also be hoping to score ikaris' awesome seats on relocation day. faster access to intermission ice cream would make a world of difference.

Unsure at this point. Entering semi-retirement and planning on being in Calgary less than half-time. While I managed to sell some of my tix this year (sadly, yes, including to an Oiler fan) I don't know about next year.

If the team plays more like last night's disaster, then yes, I'll probably not renew.

At this point I'm on the fence. Likely will renew and try, immediately, to sell off a goodly chunk of them as soon as issued. There are too many weeknight games I can't make it to, and too many in any event. As much as I love my seats, and enjoy watching hockey, it's tough to commute from BC.....

For a Cup run I could be motivated though. Not really expecting that for a while, however.

That is so true - even on CP. All the people who say they'd buy them "any time" seem to disappear when things are ....well, difficult.
