You could look at it being a cheaper option than going to a match. No petrol costs, parking fee, refreshments cost (for those that buy the cooking beer from the arena. One fee to watch a match regardless of how many are there instead of a ticket each.
Will I buy a package? Probably not because I am away for 3 of the Panthers 'home' games and one of their away games so the best option for me is on a match by match basis.

Its not the price of webcast v £20 ticket in this instance for many. Its the webcast cost v £40-£80 theyd spent on tickets for the one game. Without the additional costs mentioned. Yes it may be a lot for some, but for many £100 is how much it'll cost for a family of 4 to attend one game. It's never going to suit everybody and there will always be those that just want to find the negatives. I do fully get what some are saying, but i'll stand by my view that they've got it about right here. When you look across social media most people are happy with it. Plenty of positive comments. Which is rare for the EIHL.

That’s where they’ve not been good the one off price is too high. They’re assuming everybody has firstly £99 or £69 to spend on a package and secondly that they also have the time and are able to spend half their life for 3 weeks watching hockey in order to get their moneys worth. If it was £7 or £8 for a one off I might have watched three or four games but I’m not paying £13 a game. I might watch one,depending who’s commentating.

Exactly they are relying on most snapping up packages and spending the lives in front of a laptop lol

Some more active than others i'm sure but it'll be a fair amount. Considering you also usually see a higher percentage of people airing their views when it's negative also, id say its been received really well. To simplify, if you take a usual EIHL announcement compared to this then the feedback is significantly more positive id say.

I don't doubt the packages off decent savings but to get a good response a decent amount would be hoped to take it up.. it's the single game prices which is too steep as not everyone is available to watch everyday if they work long hours etc or don't have the funds to folk out £149 in one swoop for instance

Sheffield look to have recruited very strongly! Not surprised but in the grand scheme of things bringing in decent looking players for 5 weeks at the end of their current season seems a false economy as if expect their goalie to be back at a AHL training camp in October and a couple of others that have signed as well.. it's a scrimmage tournament for GB players to get fit/ice time . To me it's no big deal what the heck happens here ... I doubt NB will push the boat out this way as whoever is brought in isn't going to increase attendances 😂 I'm expecting GUI to bring in 8 players on a try out most of which first year Pros

Looks a very good player, some great players have come from Kelowna, our Mark Smith ( the real one ) came from Kelowna. Bit of class creeping in now.

Ellis looks a very good player. Big frame and he looks like he provides plenty of points from the back end, my first impression is he’ll be a great signing.

At least with Bowns they can load up with 5 import forwards Probably so,but if injuries hit the D then it could become a pretty big problem in such a short series with no time to bring replacements in. It’ll be the Brits that make the difference and Steelers are streets ahead in that department.

I doubt it really matters in the grand scheme of things what happens in 5 weeks if any injury occurs . Steelers have a better protected list but panthers drafted better
