Re: CEO letter ahead of today's season ticket price reveal

The last price increase was for the 2019/20 season so it would
be inevitable that prices would go up again this season.
The more successful the club soz the more it will be shown on
TV. Considering there are only 3 TV slots on BT, it will be
inevitable that it will fall on Friday and sunday. Although it
has not happened that often this season.
As with all professional sport, it does get more costly. The
owners cannot be expected to take thee losses of the Club
forever so it needs to be self sustainable.
Yes they are rasikgn ticket prices but they are also maximising
every opportunity through sponsorship and sweating the assets to
host more non match day events at the club too.
I think that balancing the books seems to be a more realistic
prospect under Laurie than it wslas under the previous CEO who
seemed to waste money or weird projects that didn't go anywhere.

It all seems pretty reasonable to me.

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...?

There used to be, a few years ago I recall going to Scottish
games and getting a substantial discount if you had a Quins
season ticket. I think you paid £5 for a ground ticket.

Well quite. This idea that the owners are somehow 'subsidising'
us watching rugby is ridiculous. If tickets were 80 quid a pop
for the cheap seats then nobody would go.
The club are cashing in on the jonny come latelies - the stoop
is clearly the place to be at the moment, but unless we win the
prem every year or start winning Europe I don't think it will
last. But yeah, if the ground keeps selling out they will keep
raising the price because they can't expand seating.

At a time of 7% inflation, I'm not in the least surprised that
prices are going up. Goods and services bought in will be
increasing in price, wage bill for both players and other staff
will all be looking at the inflation figure as a minimum to try
for. I'd be shocked if they weren't increasing prices.
All you have to do is decide is it worth it.

For the Owners theres always the safety net of the rather
valuable piece of West London real estate busily appreciating in
value in the background.

Yes Deadly, I didn't be at all surprised to see a move outside
the M25 at some point.... Perhaps Guildford area?

Totally agree! It's the product that has persuaded me not to
renew, not the price. Around half of our home games have been on
Friday or Sunday, and recently, even on a Tuesday.
I'm particularly grumpy about having to apply for two games
across the road that I've already bought rather than at the
gameday-community-friendly Stoop, where I'm surrounded by
familiar banter and not strangers.
I don't doubt that my seat will be taken up by someone with more
flexibility than me, - and that they'll enjoy it!

This season, 9 out of 13 home Prem games have been on Saturday
afternoon, as have 2 out of 3 home European games so far. We'll
have to wait and see about the QF!
Granted, the Prem Cup games have been rather more spread about,
but haven't they always?
From my perspective, the cost of my 1+1 Touchline tickets go up
by £85, but as I get an extra 2 years of that rather than having
to buy a more expensive concession seat for my son, the actual
increase for the 4 years until he's over 18 is actually just
£32.50 per season for both of us, so not at all unreasonable!
I do agree about the stupid bloody summer game over the road
though!

I’ll renew as have done for years, but now it’s mainly to make
sure I have a ticket, in the past it was just so I didn’t have
the hassle of getting a ticket for each game
Agree with the Johnny come lately comment, and should the
performances/trophy’s decline so will they
I also probably won’t be going to next years spring thing at HQ
and hope they move it so not last home fixture, I’ll be
interested to see turn out today
