There are more boxes being used throughout the season, but on a lot of the games there are usually still some unused.

Presumably the combined price of the separate season tickets for his group in total, exceed the price of a box for the season... Could the club be trying to extract a greater revenue and be closing a loophole to cheaper tickets? :hey:
Is a box for the season cheaper than the season tickets for full capacity.? Should be possible to work it out. Mind you there are concessions to figure in.
Anyone got a free half an hour? :hey:

I certainly won't be going at those prices. No longer a 'cheap night out' as once advertised a few seasons ago. Although I don't think we'll be the most expensive to watch.

I will be very impressed if we continue to average around the 8,000 mark at those prices.

For me, the quality of ice hockey in the UK does not merit the pricing in terms of value for money, then factor in high car park pricing and rip off food & drink prices, it will be a no from me, unless it's a final/special occasion etc.

Wonder if the price of the stream will increase again as well?

All I ever hear is that, its the way of things, All prices are going up... well that may well be the case, but A season ticket now is the only affordable way to commit to a season of Ice hockey.. (only just) I can see this season being the last for quite a few fans over the entire league..

I cant justify the spend this season, but couldn't go cold turkey and have made sacrifices in other area of family life, Christmas, Holidays and the car etc to commit to the season... but I cant see that being the way forward.... the kids are moving into adult tickets and have no way of affording their own and that will/has also fallen on our financial shoulders..

If their is a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, I guarantee is a freight train... :zip:

It's not great (price rises never are), but I'll be honest, it probably won't dent crowds much. I can't make every game still so season ticket isn't an option for the coming season (hopefully 26/27 it changes), but there's an awful lot of fans who are in the same boat, who'll still go to roughly the same amount of games they have done previously.

Do I think more alternatives to the car park will be used - definitely.

I've just paid my mate £188 for 8 matches which works out at £23.50 per game.

That's £20.00 for the ticket, £2.50 service charge and £1.00 facility charge.

Not cheap, but not as bad as noted above.

I am unsure how tomorrow post a new topic sorry mods
After the news I have had today am not happy
Being a suite holder for 21years. Was told today suite no longer available and they couldn’t give me one for all the games. So much for loyalty it’s all about making money 💴 we didn’t sponsor the team so we are irrelevant am disappointed and furious to say the least some more fans lost but it’s not the teams fault I wish them luck in the future but the way I feel today I won’t be going to the games. But karma is a wonderful thing the higher up the ladder the further to fall obviously our money is not good enought
To try and inject some humour....

Looks like they're using your box heathk01 :D
