Located at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers in the south of the Canadian province of Alberta, Calgary is only 50 miles east of the majestic Rocky Mountains and 150 miles north of the U.S./Canada border. Calgary is also the province’s largest city with approximately 1.3 million residents, and ranks third behind Toronto and Montreal in terms of Canadian population. For this reason, there is always plenty to see and to do when you’re in town. At Bookseats.com, our priority is to help hockey fans put together the Calgary Flames travel package of a lifetime, so if you need a partner to help you figure out all the details while keeping costs low, you’re in the right place. We can help you put together any combination of details, whether you need airfare, hotels, game tickets, or all three. Even if you’re a Calgary resident and simply need help finding tickets to a sold-out game, Bookseats.com is there for you. So once you’ve decided on a date and a group size, simply plug the details into our website, compare options, and you’re on your way! From small to large groups, Bookseats.com can do it all.
The Calgary Flames were originally founded in 1972 and located in Atlanta, Georgia. However, they relocated to Calgary in 1980. Just five years after relocating, they made their first Stanley Cup Finals appearance, and eventually won their first (and only) championship at the end of the 1988-89 season, defeating the Montreal Canadiens.
The Calgary Flames play their games at the Scotiabank Saddledome, located in the southeast end of downtown Calgary, in Stampede Park. With 19,289 seats, the sellout crowds fill the arena regularly. However, while the Saddledome is one of the oldest NHL arenas and due for a replacement soon, local politicians have resisted calls for it to be taxpayer-funded. In 2019 it was announced by the city council the approval of a $550 million replacement, likely to be located north of the current location, in the Victoria Park neighborhood. Construction is expected to begin in 2021.
Without a doubt, the number one rival of the Calgary Flames are the Edmonton Oilers, their divisional rivals. Being both from the same province, there is always a natural competition in the air when both teams play, so much so that they have dubbed matches between the two clubs the “Battle of Alberta.” However, Flames fans also hate both the Vancouver Canucks and their fans, so the Canucks come in at a close second. The point is, when you’re booking a Calgary Flames travel package, make sure to zero-in on games between those three Canadian teams to see some fireworks go off.
At Bookseats.com, we believe that your itinerary should be the basis of your accommodation choice. And while Bookseats.com clients can get airline tickets, hotel options and game tickets from us at super-competitive prices, the choice of where to stay is completely up to you. Feel free to book budget beds or luxury penthouse villas, we’ve got access to it all! But because the venue is downtown, ultimately our Calgary recommendation is to stay close to the city center. Calgary is not known for its bumper-to-bumper traffic, so there is likely no need to book a place near the airport. Whether you’re in town on business, visiting with family or friends, or part of a large group, simply provide us with some of the core details about your trip, and we can get started!
Calgary is a great place to see the NHL at a reasonable price. A Flames game will set you back about $72 per ticket if you buy from the venue. Secondary market tickets (re-sold and scalped tickets) can be had for around $100.
Hockey is a quick, brutal sport. For National Hockey League fans, nothing beats the chants of a roaring crowd, the cuts of skate blades slicing through the home ice, the loud crack of a shot from the blueline, or the big boom of players crashing into each other at full speed.
