Background: The Calgary Flames Foundation runs an online and in-game 50/50 raffle to support community programs, with draws typically tied to Flames game days or playoff events. Historically, the program has returned to online sale formats after periods of technical or logistical adjustments. This is consistent with how similar teams have managed 50/50 raffles in recent years. [sources from prior coverage indicate the program’s existence and occasional postponements for technical reasons.]

How to get the latest: Because 50/50 operations can change due to technical issues, game-day logistics, or platform updates, the most reliable way to know the current status is to check:
- The Calgary Flames Foundation official site or the Flames’ main site for 5050 links and announcements.
- The Flames Foundation social media accounts (Twitter/X and Facebook) for any posted updates or “unforeseen circumstances” notices.
- Local Calgary/North American sports news outlets around Flames game days for any late-breaking raffle updates.

What to expect when it’s active: When the program is running, tickets are typically available online for Flames home and away game days, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Foundation’s programs (e.g., youth initiatives, family housing, etc.). The format has included both online and in-game raffles, and past communications have emphasized an emphasis on positive fan experience and cashless/secure transactions.
