As original poster - I'm pretty open book. I can explain the 2 sets of seats if that's a question mark to my story.
In 2010/2011 - I bought a company that had the two seats as part of the assets. As part of the planning - I talked to the Oilers rep back then and they said once in my personal name as admin for 2 years, I can transfer them to me personally. The way I acquired the company by only acquiring the assets (avoid liabilities) and the the original company was dissolved. Technically they were 21 year Oilers seniority, but I only count them as 12 as that's how long I was admin on account.
When 2013 rolls around - I asked OEG to transfer to my name but they said the rules changed (due to waitlist)- and I couldn't transfer to my personal name as it would bypass wait list.
My wife and I were planning family - we had a picture of what we want like everyone does (to have kids in hockey, swimming, ect). we paid for registry for 2 years - when moved to Rogers place, we added more seats because they were available. I could not anticipate the the personal matters that came up since then. Only question mark is why 6 seats for a family of 5 - it was better for seat selection as 3 seats had less options (that single seat gets you) + you can drop 1 in future if you found it at seat selection.
The only big change was when we were dual-income-no-kids, we sat row 1, when planning to take family, moved all seats to cheapest seats, which we also did few years ago, if it wasn't for COVID, we would've started with kids last year.
Because one set was in a company name and other set was personal - it was challenging to merge. Every year at renewal I asked if I can merge - every year they said without company dissolution paperwork (which I didn't have) - they said no. Ironically - OEG offered to merge it a few weeks ago, after killing the seats in both accounts (not much left to merge).
for 2022 playoffs - I went to 5 playoff games last year with friends - I don't track sales on tickets - I'm sure we came ahead in playoffs but equally sure it did not offset loses over the years to keep the seats.
Either way - I didn't want to sell - lack of time was my issue personally. With lack of time - you set lowest prices as you don't have time to update tickets or watch sales carefully - you just firesale - and I only owned the tickets during lean years for most part. Lean years were not a issue when I went to games, became issue when I was selling games.
I talked to my rep and emailed my rep if possible to go back to registry. My main goal was to keep seniority so that I didn't lose the initial 6-7 years where I went to most games. I didn't even want to sell seats, but wanted seniority preserved for later. I would've been more than okay sitting on sidelines last few years. I just wanted to keep the years seniority so I could come back when ready.
Cheers,
