Good spot, never thought of that. It’ll be interesting to see how many they’ve sold, but I don’t think there will be much social distancing required between the cardboard cut outs. Good job we havn’t re signed Matt Carter ! |

£149 for all 24 group games = £6.20 per game.
£99 for 12 games for your team = £8.25 per game.
£69 for 6 home team games = £11.50 per game.
£13 for a single game.
8 cameras and home team commentary.
All fairly reasonable to me.

All fairly reasonable to me. Really?? £13 per game. Not too long ago Sky box office charged £15 for its big main events. Regular season podcasts are usually around £10 so if you ask me £13 per game for a sub-standard filler tournament is an absolute rip off |

Regular season podcasts are usually around £10 so if you ask me £13 per game for a sub-standard filler tournament is an absolute rip off The average price for webcasts last year was £12-£15. I think Flyers did £10 still, but everyone else was more. £13 was probably around about the average for last year. I'd guess they'll argue that any loss in quality of the sides (depending on who comes in import wise it might not be that big) is made up for with a far better production value. It's all much of a muchness for me. The packages however seem good value. £8 a game for all your teams seems pretty decent to me. I'll definitely pick that up. Tempted by the full 24 games, but not certain. |

Tempted by the full 24 games, but not certain. I think that's the point. They wont be expecting many to be paying for individual games. The £13 is a fair price set for a one off with, as mentioned a suposed better production cost. It is there more to measure against the packages which are the reasonable part. Both the 24 and 12 game bundles are fair value. For that the individual games had to be priced higher. |

And could've been better, for me. I think the reduced prices look OK, but mainly in light of the per game price, which itself is way too high for something that, let's face it, won't be the usual standard. Can't see many neutrals buying in now, what would you select? Also no mention that I've seen of the 2 to 5 games at the end of the tournament, will they be at full whack? |

In fairness it’s not too bad a price for 8 camera coverage, do anyone know if you have to watch it live please.Stay Safe All.

Hang on, weren't they supposed to be charging £20 a game?
What happened there?
£8.25 a game is less than half that!
What kind of businessmen are these people?
I demand to be charged £20 a game!

Yup 13 sheets for a scrimmage game is too steep |

Seems fairly reasonable to me. Some always find a way to complain.
Simple don't buy any if you don't like the price.

£13 a game is way too high so that’s a non starter.
The packages aren’t too bad IF you’ve got the time to watch that many games in a short time,but realistically how many people can watch 24 games or even 12.
Not many I’d imagine so that probably leaves it at £11.50 a game.
Not value for money for me for what isn’t going to be even EIHL standard hockey.

Regular season podcasts are usually around £10 so if you ask me £13 per game for a sub-standard filler tournament is an absolute rip off I'm happy that they have not gone silly. But think this point your making does reflect my personal ability to watch or not. Whilst it may be seen in a better light than most of us expected to be too large a cost.....The £99 might be a tad too much for me to swallow in such a short time AND £13 won't get me nipping in for more than one or three games. Like you say £10 would have gotten me to switch on a few more times than I can now expect to. Like yotes said really, the neutrals won't jump in I think. |

All this complaining about the prices, it is simple; if you wont pay it then dont, you can follow it on twitter and then come on here and bitch about the game (same as some have done for years, as they openly admit they dont go to games). Or you can pay the price for the package you want and see what it is like. No body is forcing people to watch, it is called choice.

What about those who would like to watch it but can’t afford it though ? I’m not seeing those people have a choice. |

But there’s loads of things we would like but can’t afford, unfortunately that’s life. You can’t go to the cinema if you can’t afford it, what’s the difference.
