Car Parking and 50/50

If you genuinely want to compete with Belfast you need to have the finances to do so. There are no more seats to sell so you have to squeeze every penny from all other revenue streams. If you feel you’re getting squeezed I doubt anyone will change your mind but I don’t think it’s blind greed and profiteering but the requirements of staying competitive. The moment the Odyssey trust bought the Giants it changed the financial landscape of the league and every other team has no other option to attempt to keep up by whatever means necessary. I wouldn’t be too offended by it. Contribute what you can. Your not obliged to buy though.
That is dependent on each business and their respective financial viability & expenditure pre pandemic. It is the go to excuse though, for all businesses, one l work with particularly closely laid of 15 staff in the pandemic, because of the “financial impact to the business”. 3 months after lockdown they spent 7 million cash on upgrading assets. The 15 staff were the dead wood, the staff with long term “habits” not conducive to the business. There was no notable financial impact, just excuses & opportunities and that is common across the country. In the last 3 years they’ve expanded the business with 29 new employees and a new premises.
I agree totally with this my company did exactly the same blamed covid but its not affected them at all in fact I think it helped them especially during furlough as that was their quiet time during the year and the employees got paid by the government, it was win win for them even the ones they laid off their redundancy payments were 80% paid by goverment
Absolutely, everyone is free to pay whatever they want for anything they choose & bitch & moan on a thread debating prices and not hockey.
The “moaning & bitching” is simply a debate concerning the disparity that comes from buying an inferior product at a premium price & being given a reason that is used across all businesses to justify increased profit margins. That premium price inevitably gets increased further when the product returns to its previous level, in this case pre covid, yet the cost in the case of Hockey remains far higher than pre covid for the same product. The “inflation” and “cost of living crisis” will return back to low levels and here is a gauntlet, will the business world then drop prices to reflect the drop in costs, no because they’ll use the excuse that they need to recover their costs. It’s a cycle repeated everywhere.

Just park on Level 7 of the Gantry, the ramp up is behind Pad 2. It's completely FREE !
The parking lot has 26,000 spaces, plus you get a free valet and courtesy bottle of Dom Perignon on arrival.
Also, if you'd like your car personally delivered 5 minutes before the end of the game (to beat the queue out of the sports village), that can be arranged free of charge.
Surprises me that only a few people use it!
