I thought the initial plan was an extra league game (bringing up
to 14 team in the league and no break weeks), and then assume
Europe would move back to 3 home and 3 away in group stage. Both
are still up in the air as far as I am aware.

The issue is actually on my side. My email seems to have gone
down.
I have logged a ticket.
But, I guess I will just have to wait until they get the service
restarted.

Have renewed. With the change in the junior pricing now going to
18 (my daughter will be 16 when next season starts) I don't now
have to pay for 2 adult STs so am actually quite pleased.

Past season 16 games - 11 Premiership, 3 Europe, 2 domestic cup
This season 16 games = 12 Premiership, 2 Europe and 2 domestic
cup
Next season 14 = 12 Premiership and 2 Europe
We now also get the women's games at the Stoop included, but
have lost A games as games but I would think if these come back
we will get these included again.
for me personally Jester is still excellent value and will
renew.

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.

Sorry, but that's nonsense. Rugby club owners are (mostly) in it
for the long haul and prepared to stomach losses over quite a
period, but they're not just viewing it as a very expensive
matchday ticket. They expect the business to eventually break
even, and start to pay back its loans. We're very lucky that the
current generation of owners take the long view unlike some of
the earlier generation, whose efforts led to clubs like Richmond
and London Scottish almost folding.

FWIW - this was an update we received from Richmond.
"The Club, including the Athletic Ground, has made cumulative
losses of approximately £760,000 in the 2020 and 2021 seasons."
and
"combined impacts caused our Group turnover to drop by over £1.7
million, a 54% decline year on year"
I reckon that almost every rugby club in the land is in the same
boat.

Given the link up with London Scottish and the increased number
of emerging Quins likely to be plying their trade at The
Athletic Ground, I wonder if there is any chance of negotiating
some sort of discounted ticket price for Quins STH. It would be
great if the Quins away games could be engineered to coincide
with Scottish home matches. Too much to hope for...?

Renewing and only go to prem and European games. Still value for
money, I was paying when JK and PG were running us into the
ground so why not now?
Entertain me!

I'm amazed that they are putting up prices again. They have gone
up so much in the last 20 years that I've had season tickets
that it's gone frim a fairly cheap day out to actually quite an
expensive one. I pay for BT Sport so I get to watch the rest of
the games and in the last 2 years the Quins ones. There's no way
I'm paying for 4 tickets at the prices that are now being
advertised. We didn't renew this year because of the number of
games that weren't 3pm Saturday ( my kids have rugby Sunday and
Friday nights are too late). There's no way we're buying tickets
that are even more expensive for less matches. Anyone praising
the owners for their support of the club needs a reality
check... They know as well as we do that it isn't a way to make
money. But it might help association....
