I hope there is a few signings before the season ticket deadline, as I am not prepared to buy 3 season tickets on the limited team signing information so far.
If it is the Flyers bargain hunting tactics which stops them signing and informing their fans of the new team, then why not extend the season ticket sales deadline a little to let their loyal fans get their preferred seats for the coming season at least knowing the team.
I cannot attend every game (holidays and work commitments) so will still lose money on our season tickets if i do buy them.
Is it an unfair request to extend the season ticket sales until the whole team is announced ?

The happy clappers don't mind buying a product without having any information on it.

My question still stands ..... happy clappers will buy full stop but it is still prudent to get willing people with money to spend it. I suppose the question is - Why dont the Flyers leave their season ticket deadline later so many 'non clappers' may still buy season tickets knowing the team and feeling they will attend most games and get a season ticket value. Why make the deadline in 3 days time when the team has not been fully announced ? |

I couldn't agree more. Simple answer is the management don't care about the fans.

Is it not more to do with the time it takes to process the tickets before season starts
BTW there is not many clubs that have full roster announced prior to season ticket deadline
Clan are only ones so far

Maybe 1 day or 2 but no more. Long gone have the days where we had our 'Reserved Stickers' on the seats My question still is why can we not extend the season ticket sales date since we have so little info of our 2019 team ? |

Flyers have a product to sell - f*****g sell it
Tell us enthusiastically about the product
Build momentum
What sort of product do the fans want
Engage the public
Show links with the local promising players
Show respect to the paying public
Think out of the box for Sunday games, earlier times for families and publicity
Or just plod along in the dark

Would you extend the deadline for the fans still willing to support the team with money up front ? |

Flyers PR machine for at least the second off season has been broken, when they treat fans with nothing but contempt how can they expect anything back in return. Fans have literally said they wont spend money with such a low number of players signed/announced. Im not sure anyone actually expects them to have every player signed by the season ticket deadline but we dont even have half a squad First pre season game 27 days away. Hardly building excitement for the new season are they.
Other teams doing countdowns keeping fans fully informed the difference as we all know is massive.
Look at the Devils doing a video with the young lass and having Reddick announce to her that he is signed for the new season, her reaction was just heart warming. The Goats Photo .......need I say anymore.
Most recent tweet from Flyers "fixtures are now live" Same tweet they have retweeted 6 times in the past 5 days. take a look at the devils, steelers or panthers twitter pages the difference is staggering.
TBH I have no idea why anyone would buy a season ticket for the flyers these days I assume habit because from a customer service and PR point of view you wouldnt' put up with this garbage anywhere else.

It is not habit for me - its a love of the sport . The season ticket benefit for me is only to reserve our seat. 3 Adult hockey tickets (£54 per visit) is a serious expenditure for most families before food /drink /etc so I am asking, why not expose the majority of the team so other fans happily part with their hard earned cash.....rather than with their fingers crossed as it is at the moment. |

Thing is why part with best part of 500 quid if it's your self or double or triple that if it's a family, when they tell you nothing they just expect you to buy the product without seeing it, would you do that in any other thing you do , that is why a lot of people now will not buy season tickets.
Just wonder why they can't have the Flexi pass anymore that worked so well for many people

Just wonder why they can't have the Flexi pass anymore that worked so well for many people Think logistics with seat allocation a lot to do with it...plus I believe they were not financially sensible as folk would have bought full priced tickets for the games they chose anyway. Did not make a lot of sense really |
