Flames playoff tickets

[likwid]

Anyone know when these are slated to go on sale? I know the oilers are starting their sale next week. I am pretty sure the season ticket holders will scoop up all the level 1/2 seats, so I can only hope for COOP/Sportcheck tickets. If ya have any information, please share.

[88CRX]

Season ticker holders get no more tickets. NONE.

So whatever has been available all season will be available for the playoffs.

But with everyone (fan or not) trying to get tickets good frickin luck.

[likwid]

They may not get more tickets, but they get a presale

Thats not what I was told. My rents have season tickets and they called the ticket office the other day to ask if they get any frist dibs on playoffs tickets and they said nope.

[cujo_cjc]

My dads company tickets were allowed first dibs. Im pretty sure any season ticket holder was allowed dibs on playoff tickets for their registered seats.

I even read it in the herald a couple weeks ago :dunno:

aahhh
just from your post it sounded like they didnt even get dibs on their own seats
my bad :)

[Hakkola]

LOL, they're selling the tickets before they even know if the team makes it or not???

I was wondering about that too...since Edmonton is not even guaranteed to be in the playoffs yet...:dunno:

[Hakkola]

Neither is calgary, although the projected points necessary makes it a lot easier for Calgary.

Anaheim will probably make it, so I think either Edmonton or Vancouver is out. San Jose has some games in hand as well, so throw in LA and I figure out of Edm LA and VAn 2 of those teams will probably be out.

[88CRX]

They didnt start selling them last playoffs till they were in for sure. I'd imagine there doing it that way again.

[dericer]

If you enlist w/ the flames email system, you'll get an email the day before w/ all the info you'll need to pick up tix.

I think it's called the "insider"

That's how I went to almost every playoff game last season.:thumbsup:

[Nissanaddict]

I have season tickets, and they called us asking if we wanted our playoff package. I have my tickets for the playoffs. Whatever season ticket holder didn't get em got ripped off.

[2002civic]

they sell playoff tickets before hand, and just reimburse you if they dont make it, just like how you have to pay for all the playoff rounds up front and then you get money back for games that are not used(if they sweep a series or lose in the second or third round etc)

[mac_82]

Playoff tickets are marked up huge this year. I saw an article in the herald about a month ago about it. Last season they went up to aprox. +75% for Stanley Cup final games, this year the prices are up +150-200%.



"I believe in the 2004 campaign, when we were on that run, the amount of money people were paying for tickets online, especially eBay – I think one game was going for $2,000."

Cyr says the Flames organization is aware of secondary sale prices on sites like eBay and is confident there is a market to pay the higher prices.

All season ticket holders got their seats for the playoffs... read the entire thread!

[mac_82]

Last season, season ticket holders were entitled to first crack at buying extra seats. I believe they are not doing that this year, and that is what people are refering to by EXTRA tickets.

[ProjectR]

I would love to get playoff tickets to just any ONE home game this year. My GF is coming to town and I would love to get tix as an anniversary gift to her. I know this is a long shot but can anyone help? :dunno:

[Weapon_R]

You can get playoff tickets when the time comes. The only question is how deep your pockets are. Hint - check ebay prior to the games ;).

[ProjectR]

are they gonna sell the tickets right before the first game of the playoffs? or is there some time before that?

[Weapon_R]

Unfortunately the average person will not get playoff tickets unless you are incredibly lucky. You are going to be competing with thousands of people all trying to buy the same thing. The only alternative is buying them from someone who wants to sell, but they will always be marked up.

[88CRX]

woot woot... i get hooked up with tickets to 4 playoff games with my game pack :thumbsup: 2 in the first round and 2 in the second.

[TEAMFaint]

Not trying to cut the Flames or anythin, but who's to say they will even make the playoffs? They haven't clinched yet, so I wouldn't get too comfy. Check out Sportchek, they will have playoff tickets for $30-$40, the seats are unbelievable crappy, but well worth it for the atmosphere.


With this said

:goflames:

My tickets are almost 80 bucks a pop at normal price...so yeah. Expect to pay a lot (not me...I ain't sellin a single ticket)

[CaptainReboot]

Got my letter today that says I'm allowed to purchase 2 games in the first 2 rounds, if I renew my current game pack.

Works out to about $32.5 each, which is cheaper than the $50 I paid the last season for the same nosebleed seats.

[88CRX]

and noosebleeds arent THAT bad... for $25-$30 you cant go wrong.

[CaptainReboot]

For the playoffs, there isn't a bad seat in the house.

It's just hard coming down there so early to get the good seats.

Not true, the deadline for season ticket holders was about 2 weeks ago, to call which games they want..

[dericer]

I renewed just before the march 15th deadline. Got my tix last night.

Here's to another great run.........well atleast I hope we get past the 1st round. :D

If it is like it was last season. The day before the playoff games, season ticket holders, and Flames 'insiders', will get first dibs on about 1000 tickets that will be released before each game.

But you gotta be quick with ticketmaster.ca because they go in about 5 minutes or less.

From what they've told me all remaining tickets will go on sale to everyone at the same time.

No pre-sale for season ticket holders.

[dino_martini]

First one tommorow for game one. FOr every Molson product you purchase you recieve one ballot that goes in a draw for the right to purchase a package of 2tix/jug of beer/wing/busride for $75. THey are having draws at 5, 6, 7 & 8 for 5 pairs every hour..

[PGTze]

I think www.calgaryflames.com is down right now.Too many people trying to get on that list, lol.

[szw]

Dropped by sportschek, they said they won't know when they are having their lotteries until the Flames do their official press release tonight or tomorrow.

[Ajay]

I just registered on the Flames site for that right to buy playoff tickets.

[szw]

^Thanks for the link. I had meant the lotteries held by sportschek though.

[googe]

does anyone know if they are doing what they did previous years, where if you buy seasons for next year you get the right to purchase 1 playoff seat per game per season ticket?

[Thaco]

theres no season tickets available for next season... there waiting list for season tickets is already in the 1000's :eek:

[cujo_cjc]

well i guess the way they are distributing tickets is a little more fair this time around.
but i liked when you rushed to the computer and kept refreshing your browswer waiting for the tickets to go on sale :nut:

:eek: Damn...does that apply to game packs too? If so, then I guess its the good ol sport chek and co-op zones for me

I registered yesterday for the lottery, planning to go to sport chek and co-op tomorrow. I hope the luck I've had during the season keeps going in the playoffs.

[macdaddy]

so no one actually knows when they go on sale?

[CaptainReboot]

Originally posted by macdaddy

I don't think they are going on sale at all. All three options, Ticketmaster, Co-op, and Sportchek are doing draws, and if you win, you get to purchase.

Doesn't sound like they are doing what was done the year before, where you would log into ticketmaster at 12:00 sharp and whoever was fastest would get them.

Could change in the other rounds though, not sure.

[dino_martini]

Here we go.. a little over 1/2 hour until you find out who won tickets. :goflames:

[Moonracer]

Which draw is this?

[anarchy]

^The one off the Flames website I believe. I don't think I won

:(

[Moonracer]

It says you will be contacted by 1pm the day prior to gameday, so that would be tomorrow (thurs.)

[CaptainReboot]

d

[Moonracer]

Yup, unless I'm reading it wrong but I read it a few times...lol

[Moonracer]

This is what it says: Registration closes at 9:00 a.m. the day prior to a playoff game (for a Sunday game registration will close at 9:00 a.m. on the Friday prior the game). All www.calgaryflames.com registration winners will be contacted via e-mail at 1:00 p.m. the day prior to the game (for Sunday games winners will be contacted at 1:00 p.m. on the Friday prior to game) and have 24 hours to purchase tickets.

Yeah, I think that means Thursday. So good luck to everybody tomorrow!

[rage2]

Yea, good luck with that. 600 tickets, 2 per person, only 300 people will get contacted. I think the whole city's in that draw haha.

[szw]

how does the sports chek lottery work? Just drop your name off by deadline? Can you drop off more ballots at each store or something?

[cman]

Just watched the news, the Calgary Flames people said they have had 20,000 emails registered in the ticket draw in the past 24 hours LOL.
good luck everyone.

edit: Therefore every email has about a 1 in 70 chance of getting the right to purchase tickets.

[Moonracer]

^^^So you're sayin I have a chance! hehe
plus sportcheck and co-op and a chance I may get company tickets. I gotta end up with tickets to at least one of the games this weekend damit.

[cman]

Ya I'm leaving to do a sportcheck/co-op tour right now lol

[roopi]

30,000 registered for 600 tickets. :rofl:

Everyone's a hockey fan all of a sudden. Still can't spell Jarome Iginla though. :rofl:

[HoisinSauce]

i see them posted up on ebay.ca for almost 200 a pair?!

[CaptainReboot]

Game pack holders were offered playoff tickets in the sport chek zone. I would assume that pretty much everybody accepted that offer. That's how I got mine for the first 2 rounds. :D

[yellowsnow]

Good luck in the draws today!!

[dino_martini]

anyone get an email yet?

[Moonracer]

I haven't yet

[Thaco]

no email yet for me, but the site said you'll egt an email either way wether its a yes or no...

also for those who may not have read all of the documentation... if anybody wins the draw and does not claim thier tickets those tickets will go on sale at 1pm gameday.

[szw]

man, when they say 1pm i expect 1pm!

[Moonracer]

The suspense is killing me...lol Damn, I have to leave the office now and there better be some tickets waiting for me when I get back, pleeeeease!

[dino_martini]

wow its been 38 minutes and I have yet to get an email. You get an email either way.

[HybridTheory]

Anyone get a call from co-op yet? I'm just wondering if they draw at 1pm too or just some random time during the day? I couldn't find if it said so on the site

http://www.calgarycoop.com/Products/ticket_sales/calgaryflames.html

[R-Audi]

Some of you guys should have taken my advice and gone to Limericks/Dixons/Kilkenny etc tu/wed... went last night and it wasnt very busy.. 2 out of a group of 5 won tickets!! Only one guy had to miss so we are pretty happy!! Cost was $75 for two tickets, jug of beer and pound of wings on game day!!

Woot!!

-
Going to both games one and two! (Then missed out on 5 because I am at a wedding..)

[cman]

FUck my buddy just won 2 tickets via the co-op draw.
I came out empty handed:(
Just got my email from the Flames

[Ajay]

I still haven't gotten an email from the calgaryflames.com draw. It's almost 230 and they said that an email should be sent shortly after 1PM. I have to go to the U and study for a final I have later....I want to know NOW!!!!!

[CaptainReboot]

I didn't win...

Thank you registering for 2006 Flames Playoff Tickets, unfortunately your name was not selected for the opportunity to purchase tickets for the Calgary Flames first playoff game, however you will remain eligble for all future home playoff games played.

We are happy to offer you the opportunity to purchase any unclaimed tickets available after 2pm on Game Day (Friday, April 21st).

[Ajay]
