How would that work in the case of the Flames organization? Do the Flames have a management contract for the Saddledome? Becuase they aren't the arena's owners.

They have a headlease. They enjoy almost all the benefits of ownership.How would that work in the case of the Flames organization? Do the Flames have a management contract for the Saddledome? Becuase They're aren't the arena's owners.
Does anyone know what kind of revenue arena owners would get from a concert? I'm only guessing here, but suppose even $30 per person was taken out of each ticket for a concert of 18,000, that would behalf a million dollars. It might be much less than that, but 30 concerts a year could be quite large amount of revenue over a 20 year period.
Exactly. The Flames, Hitmen and Roughnecks can still use the dome, its concerts that are a problem, and I believe it's one of the main driving forces for a new arena.
If Calgary had ~300k as seen on Edmonton's numbers, and their cut was $15 per head that's $4.5 million a year. Take that over 20 years, and....
2016 worldwide ticket sales (All figures are for tickets sold worldwide as reported to POLLSTAR for shows played between 1/1/16 and 12/31/16):
Calgary: 138,476 Scotiabank Saddledome (2014: 210,727 2012: 122,110)
In 2012 the Rexall number was 375,192.Interesting. I'm trying to think back to when concerts started bypassing Calgary due to the Saddledome limitations, it must have been before 2012. I would imagine that Calgary would equal roughly what Edmonton gets...thought Edmonton could end up getting less due to some of that coming back down to Calgary.
