‘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.
A Calgary Flames fan's hopes of attending the team's final regular season game at the Saddledome were dashed when tickets sold out within minutes of going on sale on Monday. Jordan Jullian, one of those fans, expressed her shock as she attempted to secure a ticket. The upcoming 2026-2027 NHL season marks the Flames' last at the historic arena, built in 1983. The team will relocate to the new Scotia Place, which is set to open in the following season.
The $1.2 billion Scotia Place is expected to accommodate 18,400 spectators for hockey games and up to 20,000 for concerts. In addition, the new facility will feature a 1,000-seat community arena, an indoor and outdoor plaza, and a 450-stall parking garage. Steve Edgar, director of game operations and strategy for the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation, explained that high demand for the regular-season finale was inevitable. He emphasized the numerous opportunities for fans to engage with the team at the new venue.
Resale tickets for the final game are already being listed on third-party websites, with prices ranging from $500 to nearly $1,500. Consumer protection expert Julie Matthews cautioned that scammers may target unsuspecting buyers. The Flames will play their final game at the Saddledome on April 10 against the Vancouver Canucks if they do not make the NHL playoffs.
