Flames 2022 Playoff tickets

[calgarygeologist]

Managed to upgrade my game 2 seats from PL to section 219 and am very happy about that. Oh man that is going to be an insane night.

Scalpers out in full force, cool Ticketmaster, really enjoy your service

BUT not as greasy as the people who grabbed Red Lot tickets and then put them up for sale haha.

So ticketmaster should crack down on it's self?

I got 3 + 1 tickets in the Restaurant for Wednesday. A single seat is away from the rest of the family.

Flames are hitting our credit card STH payment plans as we speak. There should be a flood of reseller tickets available within a short time.

But taking a free ticket, and scalping it, is really a sad human thing to do....

I got no problem with STH selling at higher prices, its actually great to see since it's been rough to recoup any money on missed games the last few years. It's the people without seasons tickets and bought pre-sale that had no intention of using them in the first place that get me.

Again I may be minority on that issue but it grinds my gears.

I sold my second pair of tickets 3 of the 4 games in round 1. If it wasn’t for my wife who found someone at her work to take those 3 games I was poised to lose money on those seats. Luckily I was able to move them at cost each game

I don’t expect the same problem for this upcoming round.

Got 4 tickets through COOP 219 row 21 for $189 a piece! Not bad at all considering I paid almost that for the BOA in the regular season

I agree - makes no difference to the Flames who buys from them. Make the secondary tickets exclusive to STH first. I guess they did email us before playoffs to ask if we wanted extra tickets, but also specified that we aren't to re-sell them....

Seats listed for $3500 a ticket… lol sick.
No success this far, 3-0 when going to game but I can’t fathom spending 500+ a ticket sadly.

[Johnny Makarov]

how is ticketmaster not a criminalized company and shut down?

Are you sure your messages said that? I just went back and double checked- no wording like that at all.

Makes me think of Guy Gaudreau

I think most of the resellers will learn a hard lesson when they have to drastically reduce pricing to sell. Are there a ton of people that would love to go to the games? Absolutely. However, I think the majority of those people willing to spend >$500 per ticket likely already have season tickets. The Flames have priced the tickets fairly high already, which I think should take the ability to make a significant profit away.

Whoever is doing it is simply making money by helping more Oilers fans get into the Dome.

I think the demand is there. I also believe the flames jacked up the regular prices on the tickets as well knowing it’s the BoA which really helped resale. I have seasons in center white, and I sold game 1 in under 5 mins of listing at over 600 a ticket.

By my calculations, the flames jacked up the prices by 35% compared to what the announced pricing was at the beginning of playoffs because it’s BoA to maximize their take.

Listed my Game 1 tickets in 2nd Bowl Row 6 for $650/seat just to see if anyone would pay that ridiculous amount for me not to go to the game, and in 15 mins they were sold! Resell market is definitely there this round.

Good point. Had not thought of oiler fans.

I would be surprised if some of these tickets sell on the resale market. There are high press level seats listed for $500 to $700 a piece. Maybe for Stanley Cup tickets but for round 2 those prices seem really absurd.

Ended up getting PL 8 tickets. Person I am bringing isn't great with lots of stairs. Does anyone know if there are escalators/elevators to get up there, and whereabouts they would be?
