Default Playoff ticket pre-sale

Question:

Have the Flames changed that playoff draw system from a couple of years ago? Where if your name was drawn you get codes to purchase tickets.

I just received a playoff pre-sale opportunity email saying:
Keep an eye on your inbox on APRIL 3 for our first Playoff Pre-Sale. That morning, you will receive an offer code to purchase tickets for the first three (3) home games of Round 1.

I guess they changed it for Flames insiders?

Got that same email regarding the email signup stating April 3rd.


Also got an email that game pack holder status gave us April 3rd pre-sale too.... which is odd because last week game pack holders were told we'd get pre-sale on April 2nd.



Someone over there needs to get on the ball with typos and dates.

No the emails were different. April 2 presale allows you to buy two tickets to one of the 3 games, the one today said the April 3 presale allows you to buy two tickets to each of the 3 games. Although I don't know why you would buy one for game C (unless it gave you first dibs on the following game if it's not played).

The email last week said:
Keep an eye on your inbox on April 2 for the first Ticket Holder Pre-Sale. That morning, you will receive an exclusive offer code to purchase additional tickets for one of the first three (3) home games of Round 1. ... Purchases will be limited to two tickets for one of the three games and based on availability. Tickets will be available in multiple price ranges for each game.

So who has a chance at the lottery for tomorrow (April 2)? Anyone who signed up for the Insider? And then Wednesday is for all Insiders and then Thursday public?

Tuesday = account holders (season ticket and game packs)
Wednesday = Flames Insider subscribers
Thursday = general public

...my impression is that they reserve different blocks of tickets for each of these groups. So if you are unsuccessful on Wednesday, try again Thursday!

Makes sense I guess but just seems like Wednesday is going to be a crazy rush considering anyone who wants to go would have signed up for the Insider thing. I assumed season ticket holders had theirs already because of all the tickets on StubHub. Oh well. Worst case Ontario, I buy on ticket exchange or stubhub

STHs get access to purchase additional tickets; over and above what we already have.

Also good to note that STHs do not have our tickets yet. If you are looking on Stubhub, any you buy there say they are not available to download yet.

I think they have to be holding back seats for each day.
Even if season ticket holders are allowed to grab just one pair, on April 2nd.
I can't imagine anything worthwhile being left for Wednesday, and then for the public on Thursday.

If it’s like other years there will be new tickets for each day of presales and ticket releases. There will also be lots of lower bowl seats available all days because they’ll be so expensive lol

If they’re holding back seats for each of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday there has to be at least some decent seats left for Wednesday one would think.

I'm considering making the trip out to Calgary to watch a home playoff game and saw some tickets on Stubhub today when I searched. Tickets in the center ice area (217, I believe) are going for about $280 each. How do they know the prices yet if they're not being available for sale yet? I'm genuinely just curious. If I purchase those tickets tomorrow through Stubhub, I assume they're good?

If I can't get tickets there, I plan to post in the ticket forum here and see it I can buy a pair from someone selling. Would trust posters here over random scalpers out front of the Dome.

The ones on stub hub are all from season ticket holders selling. You get the ticket for the first game (or 2nd) whatever day it ends up getting played on.

Worth noting that stub hub prices are in USD....

I won't be attending any games in the first round and will pass on all offer codes I get from the Flames. I'll post it here for anyone who wants it

They just take their season ticket holder price and add a mark up. Season ticket holders pay for tickets once they have clinched.

StubHub backs up their tickets 100 percent guaranteed but keep in mind it's in US price.
