‘I was actually in shock’: Tickets for Flames’ Saddledome finale quickly sell out
The upcoming NHL season will be the Calgary Flames’ last at the Saddledome, which was built in 1983. The Flames will call the brand new Scotia Place home the following season.
The Calgary Flames' final regular season game at the Saddledome, scheduled for April 10 against the Vancouver Canucks, sold out its tickets within minutes of going on sale. Jordan Jullian, a fan, expressed shock upon learning all tickets had been snapped up shortly after she set an alarm and waited in line for 30 minutes. The $1.2 billion Scotia Place, set to replace the Saddledome as the Flames' new home, will host hockey games for up to 18,400 spectators and concert events for crowds of 20,000.
Despite high demand for the final game, resale tickets are already available on third-party platforms at prices ranging from $500 to nearly $1,500, prompting concerns from consumer protection expert Julie Matthews about potential scams.
