Honestly, am I sad for doing this?

It's un-normal. Not in the bad "you're not normal, you must be a freak of nature" kind of way but in the, you're independent enough to do stuff on your own, and enjoy something for the sake of enjoying in, without needing it to be a social thing, and beeing able to not give a fuck about what those around you think of it.
So basicly, mad props for beeing a true individual.
It would have been sad if you had bought 2 seats, and brought a blow-up doll to bring along.

That's a common misconception. I'm quite sociable, but I like to be on my own as well. Traveling, festivals and dinner are my favorite one man hobbies.

Holy crap, Mapperley? Bizarre to think we were practically neighbours until, like, a month ago... and now I go to the Big City for fame and fortune!Daystar Clarion said:
OT, 'tis a shame no one else you know is into Hockey, but if you go looking to meet people then that might work out. Balanced against the whole 'it's Nottingham' thing, you'd hope that you'd find plenty of like-minded people around you at such an event.
Nope. I've gone out to see some of my favorite bands live alone. Sometimes not even my closest friends like Japanese sludge-noise-rock-whathaveyou enough to come with me. I've always had fun and I've never been the only one there without company, hell, I've even met people there.
More on topic, as a Finn I enjoy the occasional bit of ice hockey (HIFK for life bitches) and if you really enjoy it then you should have a blast even on your own. Whether you'll make any friends there is anyone's guess. You could find your future wife there for all I know.

If it isn't that popular, you'll probably be able to spot the other season ticket holders fairly quickly, and more than likely, they'll be alone, too. It's an out of the house place where you can meet people. Or not. But you sure aren't going to make new relationships sitting at home playing video games by yourself, either.
You're fortunate in that you're surrounded by a group of people with a similar interest to you, so you already have that advantage when you're trying to establish friendships with other spectators.
My friend goes to hockey games alone in scotland he loves the sport but none of his freinds do and hes met loads of people at matches. My firends don't share all my interests and end up going alone to some places and there are always epople ina similar situation to meet.
Nope not sad. Remember strangers are just friends or psychotics you've never met and if you meet one good friend who likes the sport like you do then even better.
If you know you'll enjoy sitting there and watching the game on your own, in the same manner as how I often go see movies alone, then no there's nothing sad about it at all.
But if you're not perfectly fine with being alone there, then yeah it's pretty pathetic. Well, not even that really, it would just be dumb to have bought the tickets.

Heck no, season tickets are a great way to meet people that share at least one of your major interests, especially in the good seats. You'll see a lot of the same faces every game and eventually, you'll wind up chatting and soon, - bam! Before you know it, they'll all be comrades. I have season tickets to the local AHL team and it's worth every penny. It's also much easier to get a good seat if you only need one seat, so there's that.
