Wonder if you can ask for refunds if you no longer want to go?

Unfortunately due to us and Nottingham not being there the powers at £IHL towers will justify the low attendance due to neither team being there and put the prices up again next year as they would have been sure that it would have sold out at the £120 prices if us and Nottingham, were there. :slaphead:

Looking at the Nottingham Arena website it looks like there are just over 3,000 seats still available.

I don't know the exact numbers, but I would guess the bowl holds around 6,700.

It's not going to look great on live TV.

Perfectly just desserts for the EIHL, and Tony Smith's statement back in March that concessions "bring us no value" sounds even more jarring now.

latest figures show around 2800 tickets left in the bowl + all of blocks 1 & 2 not on sale + the suites which haven't all sold.

There have only been 148 tickets sold since they went on general day sale and 104 of them went to Dundee fans this last couple of day.

Going to look very bare on TV and just using the price per ticket against a sell out of 7000 in the bowl my reckoning is they must be around £250 k short against last years prices.

Serves them right but gutting for those of us that love this weekend.

Want to wish you all a great summer and bring on the rivalry again next season. :love:

I worry with no POFW in the Covid season that was cut short, a season off to Covid, and a much reduced crowd for this years POFW will cause big money issues for the league. Really hope not

Interesting to see that Simmsey has acknowledged that the pricing was a mistake, which he says will be rectified for next year.

Amazing that any of them, let alone him, acknowledge any mistake. Definitely a them and us mentality (clubs/owners and fan base) , we sure are customers not fans, and with regards to the Steelers this 'family" stuff is frankly Jackson Pollocks now (sorry Jay if that word not OK here).

Well looks like the customers are showing the teeth with the playoffs. Rather paradoxically the weekend being shown live on TV biting them in the ass too. Why would those neutrals/unable/unwilling to pay the prices attend when can watch for free from home if have Premier Sports.

It's like a 3rd/4th place playoff game.
