I don't think I can ever remember a season where Ice Hockey season tickets have been as good a deal as they are for football or rugby etc.
However, that's because football and rugby have tv deals etc to cover the losses on a season ticket.
For me, a season ticket with the Devils has always been about conveniance rather than any massive financial saving. It guarantees my seat every week - which in our current rink with so many bad sight lines is the most important. It also means I don't have to go down and get a ticket each week, or queue up in the rain before games.
I'm suprised people are suggesting season ticket sales would be down for next year. Why is that? I would have hoped with increased attendances we might be increasing if anything?
