A statement was released today saying that non exciting games would cost less, and exciting games that go to overtime would be more, but it was a joke to fans. <a href='https://oilersnation.com/news/itll-actually-allow-fans-to-save-on-games-that-arent-as-exciting-oilers-to-introduce-overtime-surge-pricing' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Edmonton Oilers fans fell for a hilarious April Fools joke earlier today</a> about the team introducing flex ticket pricing based on how interesting games are. Here is what the joke sounded like: The Edmonton Oilers introduced a new perk for season ticket holders called The Overtime Flex. While we realize that this sounds like a price increase on the surface, this exciting new feature will allow our fans to pay less for games that aren't as exciting, the team said in a statement. This isn't so much about the more exciting games costing more, it's the less thrilling games costing less. It'll actually allow fans to save on games that aren't as exciting. Under the program, the fans will be charged an additional fee for games that require overtime, which will enable the team to provide discounts throughout the season. The fans can either pay the overtime fee right after the game at Rogers Place or let the fees accumulate throughout the season and have them added to the cost of their playoff tickets. The fans that pay in advance will get a 5% parking discount coupon, while those that pay at the end of the season will have a 1% credit rebate to be used on concessions or merchandise. Nobody wants to pay more for less, which is why we are ultimately only upping the charge for games that end up going longer, the team's statement continued. There are costs associated with games going to overtime or a shootout from employee hours to keeping the lights on. This will allow us to cover our overhead fees associated with what customers will consider a premium game without having to charge more throughout the entirety of the season. Although the parking discount has been confirmed, the Oilers have not revealed other specific benefits linked to The Overtime Flex. There is speculation about potential discounts of up to 10% on popcorn and Dasani water bottles during overtime games. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1907057175039463873'> </a></blockquote></div> And one more thing, April Fools! This really got Oilers fans good, as many did forget that today was indeed April 1st.
