You are kidding yourself if you actually think the league and owners won't make this up by passing the losses on to fans.

Nevertheless thanks for the crash course in economics. I'll remember this when I'm paying for my jug of milk tomorrow.

Poop water is already trending down in Calgary and Edmonton significantly. A couple weeks for this to clear through the hospitals. If I was betting, I'd say attendance restrictions are lifted to some extent during that home stand at the latest.

they won't make it all back ever, unless you think they are going to raise prices by 50% plus next year.

We already have a stagnant cap...without covid it would have gone up 5M+

4 additional back-to-backs. Eww. On the bright side, no travel between the games for a change!

Game pack holder here and two of our games were rescheduled... Picked our game pack for the largest gap in games between January and March knowing I would be having a baby in February.... So yeah. Definitely not going to either of those 5 and 9 days after a scheduled c-section. Terrible news for me.

Try calling your ticket rep and explain the situation. With the way attendance has been this season, they might have some wiggle room to accommodate you.

You are kidding yourself if you think the league or the owners can simply charge whatever they want and the fans will pay it.

Apparently the crash course in economics didn't take.

Does anyone have any idea why so many games in March and April have suddenly disappeared from the Flames's schedule?

Looks like all the teams are missing games. Flames, according to the schedule, will only play 69 games. Vegas will play 72 and Colorado 68.

Must be some weird website thing. It'll be back to normal before we know it.
