For info, when renewing, there is also the customary admin fee
of £2.
This is consistent with previous years.

Renewed my ticket. Mine was "Free" this season from
credits/donation to the club during Covid, so I cant even
remember what I paid last season, but even with the increase,
for a seasons entertainment its still fairly good value. I pay
Direct Debit so I guess it will work out as a few less pints per
month down the pub to cover the difference.

Q. How do you become a millionaire by owning a rugby club?
A. Start with ten million!
This club is not making money. The owners have put in literally
millions of pounds over the years to keep the club going. I
really doubt we're going to break even on the 22/23 season
whatever they do to the ticket prices. So, to a certain extent
we're all being subsidised to watch rugby.

I'm in Jester and the level of rise isn't unexpected.
However I didn't expect to see 2 guaranteed home matches
dropped.
I'd also say that based on comments from Laurie at the
supporters update regarding the number of games in a season
ticket v match day price and the number of games to attend to
make it worthwhile still looks better for Jester than it is for
other categories. (Just an initial view, no detailed analysis).
I am more disappointed about the seat allocation at the
Twickenham games being based on seat category at the Stoop but
that is just me being a bit selfish. 😊

Owning a rugby club seems attractive to a certain type of rich
individual and covering the losses is the price to be paid. For
the club, it's another revenue stream. I don't think it's
anything to do with altruism. I guess the losses during covid
have been higher than the owner(s) are prepared to pay so some
rebalancing is to be expected, but getting to break even is pie
in the sky.

What’s the 2 games lost Adrian?
Clearly guilty of not reading the brochure thoroughly:/

I think that the Prem Cup is not happening next year.
- but, as mentioned above, the plan is to replace with a new
competition.
I don't think any of the has been confirmed though - so, they
probably can't list it as a benefit.
Although I have already renewed, I didn't actually get the
email. Was there a booklet with details of the benefits, etc?

There were 3 or 4 links to stuff, including the booklet. You
should get the booklet through the post in any case.

They obviously feel some people will only renew if they get the
physical brochure but surely there should be an opt out box if
you don’t want one. Big waste of money printing and sending for
the club plus time spent packaging. Also negative environmental
benefit.
