Wonder if it's just a free for all?

Not great for season ticket holders. Whilst I've never been one, I do think there should be an option for those who are to buy first and then open for general sale say on Monday next week.

Steelers office says definitely 4.00pm. Free for all I think.

I agree ST holders should have some advantage. We take a lady who is registered disabled & have disabled parking for her. She is a ST holder with a seat 2 steps down in her block and on the aisle. She is unable to take just any seat as her mobility is restricted. She needs her seat or one in a similar position.
She has supported the Steelers from day 1 and in the past has followed them to every arena in the league, the Super League and in to Europe. She could do with a bit of support now to carry on supporting the team she loves so much.

No doubt the excuse will be lack of time, but even a 24 hour amnesty would have been enough.

I agree. Even an announcement saying tickets on general sale from Wednesday after Season ticket holders would have been acceptable I'm sure.

Looks like they'll be some good seats available possibly when I look for tickets later on :ninja:

I would like to say non season ticket fans will pick seats they are used to buying and not jump on season ticket holder seats... but thats not true. in the past I have been on the ticketmaster site 5 mins after they go on sale and somebody as pounced on our seats from the word GO... :evil:

I logged in at seconds past 4pm and virtually the whole of my ST block was gone. With a limit of 20 tix per application how is that possible unless "our" seats are reserved for the great and the good. Whatever, we're in.

Case proven :-o
The lovely lady we take with mobility issues has lost her seat within 5 minutes of Ticketmaster releasing the tickets.
She isn't sitting with her friend in her ST seat, couldn't get an aisle seat close to her friend and is now 7 seats in on the same row. She has opted for this because she hopes she is with some people who know her and close to her friend with no more steps to navigate.

Surprise, surprise. We watched the Ticket Master count down clock and went straight on at 4.00pm to find that our entire block, and next block, sold. Steelers office say that they were reserved for the CHL. That's me done as a ST holder.
