Then wheb quins are struggling, they will know who the proper
supporters are and who the glory hunters are.
The glory hunters will dissapear which makes you wonder if they
were supporters to begin with or just came along because The
Stoop is the place to be seen currently.

Makes sense to put season tickets up, more don’t renew and then
more available at individual game prices
Great for the clubs finances, while they are selling out all
games, makes perfect financial sense
However from a loyal supporters view…not great

We’re some way off that at Quins as we’re doing well but if we
go back to the dismal years then the demand might fall away

It's easy to say "then so be it" when it's not your salary
you're advocating cutting.
And increasing prices until you get empty seats is exactly how
you maximise revenue; ask any economist. The trick - which it
seems Wales slept through in Econ 101 - is to stop raising
prices once you start getting to a little less than capacity.
The discounts for STHs - especially at the cheaper end - aren't
economic for the club. A better than 2 for 1 offer for a whole
season of matches they are able to sell out just doesn't make
sense. Expect higher prices all round when it comes to renewal
time.
I don't begrudge the club that, but we were already debating
whether to keep all 5 season tickets. Our kids often can't make
the games or have other places they want to be, so they're much
less likely to hit breakeven on their STs, especially if the
breakeven point rises.

Yeah I’ve got to be honest, when I hear the newbies moaning if
we dare to lose a single
Prem match I do wonder what the future holds.
Compare that to the decade of utter rubbish I’ve happily endured
- Botica, JK, the walkouts, the bin juice players….
You do wonder how many will leave if we don’t end up top 4 next
season.

You should have been there in the 90s and early 2000s mid table
mediocrity where a few cup runs gave a glimpse of what's
possible without fulfilling the potential.

A very good and sympathetic presentation. Looks like we will
have to pay more but clearly the club needs our financial
support. Loved the TRUE video. Hope that gets posted to YouTube.
Loved the commitment to the Academy which is the best investment
the club makes.

£1m not much of a dent into £3m?! A third is a fairly sizeable
dent, no?

I imagine that they are also expecting that they will lose some
STHs and still be able to sell out the ground - at current
prices each Jester they "deconvert" could bring in around twice
the revenue.

Why name this topic State of Play and then talk about ticket
prices?
If you're going properly random call the topic Secret history of
Ukrainian tractors.
