That is a very good argument there, quite valid points.
I myself have been watching the Devils since '89, I have been a ST the last 5 seasons, and sporadically the odd year or two together in the past. For all the other seasons, I have been a walk up ticket payer, and very rarely missed a game so in those years I would have actually paid more into the Devils ticketing pot than the ST holders at the time.
Now if someone has been watching the Devils since say '06/'07 and they have not been a STH but instead have paid for a ticket game in, game out and rarely missing a game, does this make them a lower priority than a STH who has a discount?
I really am not sure what the answer is here, but I would think that fair accomodation can be made for people in either category. But if a walk up fan pays for their ticket with cash then their details are not recorded like a ST, so difficult for them to argue a case that they go to every/most games, unlike a ST.
Perhaps a way around it would be for walk up fans to retain their used ticket to 'cash them in' under the CDSL/Red Army proposal by PR to get priority seats?
Perhaps just a raw idea that could be developed into a workable concept.

I'm not so sure that ST holders should be given priority to be honest.
Why should a ST holder, say for the last 3 years, be given priority over someone who hasn't missed a game for ten!
there is bound to be loyal die hards who simply can't afford to stump up the cash for a ST for whatever reason.
ST holders save money on games during the course of the season, that IMO is enough. I know it helps the club selling as many as poss, but we'd probably all have one given the chance. I suppose some are luckier than others.
