I think that there may be other models to follow as well. I had
a look at London Irish and although they don't have their
details up for next season yet, I did see that they have
previously offered normal season tickets, packages of 4 or 8
home games that you can pay for up front and book during the
season plus 3 year season tickets. I wonder if Quins will offer
anything with a bit more flexibility?

Quins used to do that type of offer back in the early 2010s when
I started coming to matches. Used to be an offer like buy 3 for
the price of 2, or a certain % saving.
I guess they stopped when season ticket numbers grew and started
selling out. Irish are probably at the stage of trying to get
more regular guaranteed seats filled.

Resale seats are always easy to get hold of for Friday and
Sunday games. So the more of those, the less incentive to have a
ST as I can just pick & choose when it suits me to go.

From memory you could buy the second half of the season as a
season ticket. I'm guessing there's no need to offer that now
with such a large waiting list.

normal (so less Autumn games and more Winter freezes), a likely
jaunt in the 2nd tier European competition (even before getting
into the stupid format of European competitions) and a
Premiership where some teams seem to still have bottomless
pockets despite the salary cap changes, and it no longer adds up
for everyone. Financial backdrop that we find ourselves in will
impact the decisions of many too.

I'm not even sure it's the kick off times, more the spread of
games.
How many home games at the stoop in 2023 before the world Cup?

To be honest, this season has been so stop-start, that I have
lost track of when the next game actually is.
I can't remember when we were last at the Stoop. I think there
was a game since Bristol?

Probably worth watching State of the nation as it would appear
that with 2500 waiting, and the costs of other clubs season
tickets, and factor in the losses ( Big game approx 70K) they
have to get the money somewhere and would imagine a 5%-10%
increase is almost inevitable
With Big Spring KO not selling in the numbers they wanted ( 33%
discount) I’d also imagine that will have some impact

I think the loss was £700k for the rescheduled Big Game

Completely agree re State of Play. It gives a huge amount of
context.

Last year's Big Summer kick off was popular as it was
essentially a 4th place playoff between Quins and Glos but they
are going to struggle for the same interest this year. I am
guessing the lack of a home knockout European game this season
will also damage the finances.
