It will certainly be a sell out and for those going, will have an amazing atmosphere and yes there will always be people that have an issue.
The issues concerning the IAW l hope won't spoil people's experience, the lessons of previous events been learnt and improvements made.
The UK has many venues that can accommodate ice pads. I'm a fan of doing things right or not at all. When organising a competition you should take into account the various factors, such as costs, a neutral venue, capacity, location, amenities etc. If you cannot accomplish those basic requirements, don't try to make do, scrap it, make an alternative, preferably one that works, that way the amount of issues will reduce drastically, reducing the need to "clarify".
Having said that l appreciate the difficulty Todd has, his sentiments concerning improving the event and in no way do l voice negativity his or the Devils organisations way.

Somebody regretting not getting a season ticket I feel? We don't get many benefits for ploughing our money into the club way before we know what the roster will be and before others who want to sit back and pick their games or see how the season goes so I think its great the management are trying to give something back. I would also add I have missed 3-4 games this season (games I have paid to see) but am happy to do so to secure my seat and support my team so before you argue that you can't make all the games - neither can I but still choose to get a ST. Thanks Todd for recognising this and giving us something in return.
There maybe more making the same decision as DevilDom in future, the arena has limited capacity and sell outs are a reality.
If the league does get a grip, quality players continue to improve and games are more competitive, it's likely even getting a season ticket may become difficult.

Can't say I'm a massive fan of the way this has been worked out if I'm being honest as I'm not a season ticket holder. I go to about 80% of games a season but do so at times as a couple or a group of 4 if we bring the kids so don't have season tickets as we wouldn't be guaranteed to get seats together when they come.
Because of this I now have to try to get 2 tickets of which only 200 are available to me, no matter that I've been to all the challenge cup games so far this season and will be going to semi final as well.
Fingers crossed I manage to get 2.
I genuinely don't see the harm in putting the tickets on sale when the 2 teams playing the final have been confirmed, there's nealy 3 weeks between the 2nd steelers v panthers game and the final.

But this is supposed to be a neutral venue Mark, is it not? As a fanbase we have moaned about the play- offs and Nottingham's changing room " demands" and such for as long as the Elite League has existed. We are not in a position now to start holding on to "our" season ticket seats just because they are "ours". If there is to be a 50/50 split and we are good/lucky enough to make the final, I agree that Devil's season ticket holders should have first shout on A seat but not necessarily THEIR seat.
