Absolute joke that we have to share a section with Stars and Caps. Sheffield and Panthers fans can buy their tickets now. Just goes to show that there is a total ****fest going on between the league and Panthers/Steelers.

Guildford and MK get a section each.
I can't even remember seating at that end, thought that was zamboni end

Maybe the three teams just don't sell enough tickets .. supply and demand

I'd be surprised if that's the case. MK and Guildford get a whole block in their first EIHL season.

They are also closer to Nottingham, so in theory should take more fans, I would like to think that ticket allocation has been decided on past attendance from clubs.

The whole set up is embarrassing, what reason is there that panthers and steelers get to buy tickets before everyone else. Love to see them both not making it! Think il buy tickets for a better section if I can.

That's a bit of a kick in the teeth then.

Is it lack of numbers or do they just not like us ?

[gmac]

They don't like us 'cos Tam won't cowtow to their every whim. Me and the missus were there in 13/14 season after we ko'd Dundee in QF, there was Flyers fans spilled over into the next sections. Dunno if it was a case of fans leaving it too late to buy? Probably a whole lot bought at last minute once we made it

here is the format for the playoffs.



Seedings for the 2018 Elite League Playoffs will be based on final league standings at the conclusion of the 2017/18 regular season.

The Elite League winners will be seeded #1 for the playoffs, the league runners-up #2 and so on down to #8.

In the event that a Conference winner does not finish in the top 8 in the league standings, that team (the Conference winner) will replace the club that finished 8th in the league as the #8 seed for the playoffs.

In the unlikely event that two Conference winners do not finish in to the top 8 in the league standings those teams will replace the clubs that finished 7th and 8th in the league as the #7 and #8 seed for the playoffs - the Conference winner with the better overall record being the #7 seed in this scenario.

Quarter-Final matchups will played over two legs and must be completed by Sunday 1st April 2018.

The 1st seed will play the 8th seed, 2nd vs 7th, 3rd vs 6th and 4th vs 5th.

The higher seed in each quarter-final will get the choice of when they play their home leg - those clubs who opt to play their home leg on (or before) Saturday 31st March must assume that it will be playing the first leg at home and not the second leg. This is to ensure all ties are completed by Sunday 1st April.

Overtime and penalties will be used after the second leg if needed.

Playoff finals weekend takes place at the Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham over the weekend of 7th and 8th April, with the semi-finals taking place on the Saturday and the third v fourth-placed match and Grand Final on the Sunday.

Seedings for the semi-final and final will be determined by the original quarter-final ranking, so the highest-placed team left in the playoffs will be ranked as the highest seed.

The highest seed will play the lowest seed in the first semi-final, with the remaining seeds playing in the second semi-final.

The two losing semi-finalists will meet in the third v fourth-placed match, while the winners will go head to head in the Elite League playoff final.

Would be interested to know why Flyers agreed to this, or if they didn’t, then how did this actually come about.
I have said it before and still believe that Flyers need a professional General Manager, who can look after our interests at any league meetings. This is at least the second mid season change to competition format this season. Has a smell about it imo.

ANyone els find booking this morning a joke?

Tried booking online for 3 people (2 adults and a child). The weekend pass option doesn't allow you to choose your own seats and according to their system there were no weekend passed for the fife end. This was from 10:30 this morning when tickets went on sale. However I could book 3 seats individually for both Sat and Sunday (same seats) but this cost a £22 more. Tried calling the box office but calls just being disconnected after going through the IVR. The whole thing from block allocation to sale dates is a joke!

[shug06]

Got them eventually. Don't understand why you can't pick your seats if booking for the weekend...
