Game pack and season ticket holders were given access to a presale for this game last week, so I highly doubt any tickets were left for the general sale today.

Yeah I'm a game pack holder so that's how I got my seats for this game. There wasn't a ton available even during the pre-sale. Although my game pack is in the PL, so it was nice to get upper bowl seats for the final game.

u/Anxious_Leg_3606 1d ago
That is great to know. My friend, who is a season ticket holder, told me he was allowed to buy up to four additional tickets through the presale last week. Because of that, I had a feeling there wouldn't be many tickets left for today's sale.

u/ReactiveCypress 1d ago
Maybe this was also a game pack thing too, but I found it odd that you could only buy upper or lower bowl seats and not PL. I don't know if they were withholding them or had sold out by the time I got in, but it was interesting to see nonetheless. I like to think they were just giving us a chance to get nicer seats before the scalpers snatch up the rest.

u/tvp2003 1d ago
I’m surprised to hear no PL was available. You’d think they would be the last to sell out?
1
u/ReactiveCypress 1d ago
That's what I thought too, but I'm okay with how it played out. My budget for this game was in the $200 range, and I'm happier to pay that for upper bowl than PL. Especially since second hand prices will be more than that.

u/sdenoon 1d ago
Yeah this was incredibly disappointing as a game pack holder who made sure they could be at their computer last week. My seats are in the second bowl but I wanted to do one last ride in the PL for the last game after spending so much time up there when I was younger, but all I was allowed to buy were $300 second level seats. I love the Saddledome but that price is crazy.

I guess for future reference at the new barn, how do game packs work?
5
u/ReactiveCypress 1d ago
It's kind of like a mini season ticket option. You get 9 games in the same seat, along with a lot of the extra perks that full season ticket holders get (early access to playoff tickets, discounts on merch, exclusive events, etc). I've had my pack for 10 years now, and it's really good value because it allows you to go to a lot of games without breaking the bank compared to full season tickets. I haven't gotten word yet on how it will work in the new building, but I'm hopeful that it will continue in a similar form. Especially since there are lots of people like me who have had their packs for a very long time.

u/CanadianRockx 1d ago
Do you get to pick the 9 games or they're preselected?
5
u/ReactiveCypress 1d ago
They give you 5 different packs to choose from. The games used to be randomly placed in each pack (each one would have a few marquee matchups and then filled out with whatever was left to reach 9 games), but a few seasons ago they switched it so the packs are now themed. There's a pack that has all the games against Canadian teams, one where all the games are on weekends, etc.

As a season ticket holder I can verify we've had access since last Wednesday. If it makes anyone feel better, they were stupid expensive, like more than double average cost.
7
u/CanadianRockx 1d ago
How much is "stupid expensive?" Others replying to you are saying $230 for 2nd bowl which seems average/reasonable. I told myself $500 was my limit, I would've happily paid $230
Also, do you recall if every seat was available to buy or were there some that were reserved for the general sale?

u/jordanmars 1d ago
I paid $300ea last row section 214. There was scattered seats left when I logged in for season ticket sale, less than I expected. No press level available.

u/Mopedmike 1d ago
It was $230 in the corners (216-222, 202-208) rows 18 and up and then $306 or something for 215,223,209,201 same 18 row and up.
For reference my game pack seats work out to half that price.

234.50 for top of the upper bowl on the ends, 344 for top of the upper bowl between the blue lines.

u/ReactiveCypress 1d ago
It's basically in line with how much playoff tickets cost, which is understandable considering it's the last game in the dome. I'm a game pack holder, and I remember in the 2022 playoffs our face value tickets were $180 in the PL.

u/RespectAcrobatic1563 1d ago
Nope, there was pretty much exactly same available when I got on for member presale last week.
There are NOT that many season ticket holders…. Something is fishy…
1
u/natefrost12 1d ago
The dome is more than half filled with purchased season tickets. They also did a presale for people who got a ticket pack and you can get a half season so there are seats that are actually two sets of season ticket purchasers. I got into the STH presale half an hour after it started and was surprised there were any pairs left at that point. Within five minutes of that everything remaining was single seats

u/Martin0994 1d ago
I didn't really expect them to. When I got to the sold out page I wasn't surprised at all.

u/McFly3131 1d ago
Was anyone here able to get a ticket for this game during the general sale this morning? haven't seen a single comment claiming they did, im not convinced they had any available.

u/CanadianRockx 1d ago
What I don't understand is I was in line in the queue, started around position #300. It took maybe 3-4 minutes to move up to #1, but then it said tickets were sold out?? Were there THAT many presale seats sold prior?? The math isn't mathing in my head: 19,289, even if half the seats were presale that's still over 9500 seats for us lowly plebs?

u/crazEmidgt 1d ago
I had presale last Monday for Season Ticket holder split B…..I can confirm there was not a lot of availability then only a couple hundreds seats is my guess.
This was before season ticket holders had their presale to purchase additional seats.

How?? I was trying so hard for tickets in queue half hour early I didn’t think they would be gone instantly

u/cgy_bluejays 1d ago
Based on how fast the queue went I think there was max 250-300 tickets on this sale for that game

u/RespectAcrobatic1563 1d ago
I even got in on member presale and there was pretty much back of press level only for the game j wanted.

u/Fuzzy_Pebbles 1d ago
Multi pack purchasers got presale access a day before season ticket holders for this one, which might have something to do with it.

u/RespectAcrobatic1563 1d ago
Such trash. This world sucks when real fans can’t compete with the all mighty dollar.
2
u/BeeComprehensive3634 1d ago
I mean I get there’s a lot of people who would have loved to get these tickets. And obviously the scalpers suck, but a lot of people with half season tickets that got first dibs because the game wasn’t in their split are also true fans. Can’t really say the “real fans” don’t get to go.

u/Positive-Courage-758 1d ago
I’m sure they’ll all be resold for $1000+ a ticket soon enough. Fuck scalpers

u/Mopedmike 1d ago
The tickets were too expensive to begin with, they were 2-3x the price of other games. That said if you did miss out just wait till the weeks leading up to the game, resellers / season ticket holders will probably dump tickets when the flames inevitably will be going into that game with a 30-54 record, I don’t mean that as a jab, I know the team is in a rebuild.

Tix to other games avail. Flames v Leafs Oct 26 as an example. Gotta be the last reg season game vs a shite Canucks team to send the dome off?

I was given access to the presale last week with my wranglers tickets. And it wouldn’t even work. 😔

u/Martin0994 1d ago edited 1d ago
Not overly surprising when it comes to both pricing and availability. I immediately pivoted and grabbed Mar 3 EDM/CGY tickets instead. I'll wait for Roughneck tickets since they may actually have the true "final" game at the dome.

Happy for those who get to be there. Super Jealous! My first game at the dome was '88 Olympics, USA vs Czechs. Seen a few milestones for Iginla, Johnny and many others... Gonna be a tough game to see end, no matter where youre watching from.

I just wanted tickets because the Flames are playing the 2027 Stanley Cup Champions that day, but I at least got 2 tickets to the Boxing Day game.

We are so back 🥲 Is the entire season gonna sell out, given how this is the dome's last?

u/Beta1224 1d ago
I think the team is raising the prices of Seats for the final season. I was looking at pre-sale a few days ago and it was about $75 for the furthest back rows of Press Level for a random regular season game.
I'm not sure if that's regular price, but it seems a bit more expensive than usual
1
u/6000ChickenFajardos 1d ago
I just paid $80 for row 7 PL for the game against Pittsburgh. I'm not mad. Last chance I'll get to see Sid play and probably the only time I'll get to make it to a game this year.

u/CanadianSandGoggles 1d ago
Not sure how it typically tracks with single game prices but they didnt raise prices for our season tickets. Basically same price as last year with an additional home game.

u/Slayerkid13 1d ago
Apparently there was a presale 3 days ago?? That's what it showed me on ticketmaster when I signed on to join the waiting room.

u/CanadianLoverGirl 1d ago
Apparently the presale didn’t include the April 10th game though

u/Slayerkid13 1d ago
Yeah I didn't think it did either. I tried then and it told me to come back today. Just what ticketmaster showed me today.

You're not going to get a ticket under face value for this one. Secondary markets are going to be brutal.
