Season Tickets 26/27 massive price increase

New poster and also new to ice hockey and the Steelers.

First game was the Panthers cup home game. Which was great. Caught the bug and have since brought the family (Mrs and Daughter and if they’re not available I bring the best mate)

I feel confident that I know a bit about sport season tickets as a Bradford City season ticket holder.

I looked at season tickets, but it’s not financially viable and will have to be a pick and choose situation. But there’s some good points raised above.

The cost per game is quite high, I didn’t look at the total as compared to football you get more games. But the cost per game isn’t that much of a saving on buying individual tickets.

I think building a hardcore of support and increasing season ticket holders would be a better way of doing it, but that’s my opinion. Obviously pay per game tickets cost more…

I know the season is going that well, but we’re all hooked and have done 4 games since the panthers cup game and have tickets for two more.

I do have questions, about the squad and how it all works but I’ll save that for another thread.

With regards to the tv deal, I think there needs to be one. It may have to be a compromise with the teams to begin with and take a small fee, that builds per year. I can only see EIHL growing. It’s so under rated in my opinion and I think we’re about to see a boom. I was shocked there’s not a tv deal already.

Late to this discussion but in terms of sponsorship, and the various thoughts around whether there is value in it for companies and whether clubs such as Steelers are doing enough, I noted last week I think that O2 have been announced as the new headline sponsor of both the SSE Arena, which will now be known as the O2 Belfast, and also the Giants themselves, who will be known as the O2 Belfast Giants. Both on a 10 year deal I believe. Thats significant, and will give them a sizeable advantage I expect in the coming years. It also proves that there are companies out there that could see a value in such a deal.

I also noted with interest that Tony did a little interview on Radio Sheffield between periods 2 / 3 on Saturday and when asked what his priorities were for the next 2-3 years, now a new deal has been secured for long term tenancy at the arena, he was clear that it was improving corporate sponsorship offerings. I suspect the 2 things are very related - Tony has seen that and knows we need some of that.
