Probably should have delayed it until Tuesday, but they haven't. I don't get what the fuss is about, a call to the arena from Italy on Monday morning would not cost any more than having to drive then park at the arena. In fact it may cost less! The statement from the club offering to try and help simply smacks of a few vocal fans trying to make sure they get their choice of seats by playing the victim card to get their seats early. Most fans know when pofw tickets go on sale they should have planned accordingly. Don't think you can buy a POFW ticket over the phone though. You have to go to the arena to show your season ticket don't you ? I've bought over the phone the past couple of years. Have to give the reference number on the back of the season ticket.

You don't need all the cards with you as long as you have all the numbers off the back of cards you are using. And I do usually ring up the first morning of season ticket sales too.

I've never had a ST but always managed to get good seats for the past 5 years, good seats as in middle of a block. There's little need to panic really, there'll be seats on the Tuesday after Pre-Sale, there will still be seats at the end of February. We may not even get to POFW yet. The way it's looking,if we finish 4th,in the quarter final we will play either Cardiff,Sheffield or Belfast ! 😩

If you don't catch a late flight back from Italy and go straight to the Arena and queue for your tickets, you're not a real fan! 😂

Great until your behind that person in that queue. every single year this comes up! would you rather be behind 1 highly organised person buying 40 seats with all the money and tickets ready or 40 people in the queue? either way you're waiting the same amount of time. No (you asked) not even if 'highly organised'. I can see 40 people and perhaps come back later.

I think the main issue with Non-Season ticket holders is waiting 2 and half weeks and not being able to purchase tickets. When we are able to, the best seats are usually in the nose bleeds.
While I can understand to a point that Season Ticket holders should get some sort of priority, however I think it's a too long period.
There are some loyal fans who aren't Season Ticket holders who just want a more fairer chance of getting better seats other than row S and above.

Trouble is. We probably need two of them to go kaput to avoid one of them in the quarter final. We need to finish league 2nd to end up as no3 play off seed and probably avoid one of them !

We could but don't think that's very likely and it wouldn't get you 2nd seed unless a Gardiner team won the league.....and that's not happening. #1 league winner. #2 winner of conference not providing league winner #3 second place league team (or winner of league winners conference). The way it stands at min,Clan are miles ahead in the easy conference so they would be 2nd seed. That would bump one of Cardiff,Belfast or Sheffield down to 4th Then #4 plays #5 in quarters. So Panthers better win a shed load of games from now on,or we're getting a nasty play off quarter final !

I ain't bothered what happens as I ain't going to the POFW .. over priced garbage for too long now 78 quid for 3 average games ..wow! Doubt panthers will qualify this year tbh anyway

Doubt panthers will qualify this year tbh anyway If you think about it rationally £78 isn't that bad as it's a one off event that routinely sells out (looks like it sells out anyway). There's logic behind actually raising the prices given supply and demand and the EIHL should be commended for not doing so.

If they just threw in a good game and got rid of that silly PO for losers of the semis I bet 50% if those staying away would fill the empty seats and then there would be demand for seats and their excuse to raise the price. Missing out on oppertunity they are. Who remembers or wants to know who came third?

How many empty seats though?
The event is usually 99% sold out.

Not that many, but enough to keep them busy apparently and people at the front were buying multiples so they've probably sold a few.

Phoned up a few minutes ago and got excellent seats in block 15. Forgot the tickets even went on sale today until someone reminded me.

What seats did you get FS and for how many people? We rang up for block 15 about 1 hour ago and lowest they could offer for two was Row R.

Rang up about 9:09am and got amazing seats in block 15.
Friend rang up about 11:30am and had to pick block 17 because 15 was heading towards row T and 16 was row S. Apparently as of yesterday evening, all Panthers blocks are pretty much full if you're looking for any more than 4 seats together.
1636 'Panthers' seats available, over 2500 season tickets. As you can imagine, many new ST holders (including my self) will be taking advantage of the good seats. I'm hoping they hold block 18 for general sale to give people a chance to attend. Shame it's a tiny block though.
It didn't sell this quick last season - I was able to grab decent seats on general sale. I can't imagine there will be many tickets (if any) left at all for the general sale this season.
