       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.
