Another thing to think about is the players didn't perform in the challeng Cup when needed and failed to get the lucrative semi final all pay game, 60 thousand pound in tkt sales possibly was down the drain and all the add ons merch, bar, food, 50/50, sohb...all adds up to a major budget failure for next season, so us loyal fans are paying the high inflation on season tkts for next season due to players underperforming, and we gotta pay for that, gripe over..

Sorry Steve but this is a targeting of Seniors and Disabled, otherwise people wouldn’t be bothered about it. When you Lush people came in to own the Devils one of the main topics was we are family, well members of families get older, and the unfortunate ones may regrettably become disabled, but as a family do we penalise them, or Chuck them on the scrap heap. Having a price increase is no problem to most, and most certainly needed but surely that should be done with the decency and decorum of equality for all.
It doesn't make sense, the seniors have introduced their children, their grandchildren and also numerous friends of theirs and their children to this family sport. It is short-sighted as a business to now penalise them. This is why this seems to me to be a way of getting maximum ££££ out of each seat.
But then to discard the logo and in some part the history of the seniors with the club again makes it look like targeting the seniors

It isn’t!
However, I was not referring to this thread in particular but many many threads including but not restricted to, poor team performances, the re-brand, etc etc.
I am with you on this. This price rise is discriminatory and puts the biggest percentage increase burden on the old and infirm!
Like you I have been a ST holder for many many years, having followed the Devils since the 80’s but I think you have misunderstood the context of my comment!

No one objects to a price increase. Think it was anticipated by most fans as everything else is going up in price and costs need to be covered. The sad thing here is that for some seniors and less able bodied fans, Hockey Night will be the highlight of the week. It's hard not to be confused by the variance in % increases on different types of ticket and not to reach the suggestion that it looks like a bit of targeting is happening. And hard for many to afford it now.

The pricing does seem very inconsistent. Maybe give the club a chance to explain and then everyone can decide if they want (can afford) to purchase an ST. I stopped buying one years ago and don't make many games ( do buy webcast often though). Unfortunately a lot of things outside of hockey now are priorities and the hockey comes second.
Incidently, I went to a Cov game a couple of weeks ago and a 12% is automatically added on, making an Adult ticket £24.68 !!
As for age....I can't retire yet but i am over half a century lol
