Though no confirmation, I heard that after the East stand
renovation, "hospitality" now accounts for 15k people ie c18% of
crowd.

So, the weekend ended and another week is well under way.... and
we have not received any further Ballot news from the Quins. The
only emails we are receiving are about who we have managed to
re-sign.
I have chased customer services and will see what response I
get...

So.....he we are, the 6 nations is about to start and we've not
had the ballot.
This isn't normal - any reply?
"Twickenham international ticket ballot access" is listed as a
membership benefit (not that I've ever benefited).....

It has now been a week since I replied to the Customer
Experience team re the end of last week for an update going
out... Sadly, but TYPICALLY... no response from them on this
one.....
I have given up hope of hearing anything back from. Maybe we
should all switch to supporting a grass roots club that are
better with Member Experience and Admin

never won the ballot on 25 years at Quins, gave up a while back
now, it seemed more were aimed at the corps rather than normal
members. I had way more success when I was a member of the
england rugby supporters club, got tickets to all the
internationals and friendlies and one or two 6 nations.

To be fair they had to let most of the staff go during covid and
have barely been able to employ many back - I think the team may
consist solely of Uri and some work experience.
But it's a bit off that nothing has been said publicly or
otherwise.
As others have said - more chance of getting picked for the XV
than actually getting tickets but still.

No, although about 10 or 15 years ago I did get a pair of
tickets via the club ballot to see the All Blacks.

Email received a few mins ago states:
"Our exclusive Harlequins Member Six Nations ticket ballot will
be running once again for this year's tournament. Full details
of the ballot will be shared with Members in the coming week.

Thank you for letting us know the email had arrived.... mention
of the ballot is well hidden (not in title) under the drive to
sell hospitality seats for the games.
The cynic in me is wondering if they are selling as many
hospitality tickets as they can before then opening the
remainder of their allocation to the ballot process where they
stand to make no additional beer and food profits....

Ugh, yeah this hasn't been like this before. Understand there's
a massive financial black hole after the last two years but it
looks like exactly as you describe - sell as many tickets as
possible via a hospitality package.
749 quid.
So that's 120 quid max for your seat at the game (at a different
stadium)....
Leaving your champange, other booze and a four course meal
costing you about 600 quid - plus a quick bit of chat from a
player.
I'd rather have a few pints and a burger in the Sussex
personally but each to their own.
