Premiership Cup pool games are still included. The club don't
know for certain how many there will be yet given they haven't
settled on the format (could potentially include sides like
Wasps and/or Ealing depending on how many games they want to
have). Even if it's just split into a 2 "conference" system like
we've had recently & we end up in the pool that has 5 teams,
that's still four games total, so 2 home fixtures, minimum.

Wowza!
Last year 1 seat in Premier with Rosebine parking cost me £849,
this year it's £1045 and as others have said there are 2 Prem
games less.
It start to make tickets for England look reasonable...

Note, though, that I said weekend games. Our Prem Rugby Cup
home games this season were on Wednesday evenings, which between
me having to get there from work, and then at the other end
having to get the lad back home for school the following morning
were just not possible.
Prior to this season, they were all on weekends, so not a
problem getting to them. That may change back next season, but
if it doesn't, then it's even fewer games I can get to, combined
with not being able to do ticket resell for the Big Summer Rip
Off as well as the Big Game.

I also note that membership renewal deadline is 1 month earlier
than last year on 28th April - so it costs more for less and you
pay for it sooner - nice!!

I'd be surprised if there's still a waiting list by the end of
next week!

As a member since 2009 I cannot believe the price hike, I have 3
GOLD seats Wife and Daughter now £995 each I pay DD and my 12
monthly payments are £83.1 ×12 = £997.2. Thinking what to now as
my car is not ULEZ compliant either...MGB!

Have people forgotten that we lost two clubs this year due to
financial issues? The club needs to generate more incoming and
with a full stadium that means more money per seat and
generating as much from the matches over the road. Otherwise
Quins could go the way of Wasps and Worcester. I am sure that
it was a very hard conversation when setting the seat prices.
Just like us all the club will be paying increased costs, think
what the electricity bill will be for the stadium that could be
the basis for most of the increase alone.
None of us like paying more but in the current inflationary
climate it is a fact of life

= £997.2.
As they stuffed up the DD last year your monthly payments are
broadly the same as my DD this season for same priced seat is
£82.70, that may have factored in their thinking as on a monthly
basis it is similar.
As for inflation well it isn't 20%.

No, it is really NOT a fact of life.
If they'd said they were increasing prices by 10% in line with
inflation and just kept quiet about the reduced number of games,
then I'd have said fair enough and renewed.
As it is, they are simply royally taking the piss! My tickets
went up by over 20% last year, and this year they're asking
another 35%!! That's over 65% compounded in 2 years, and for
fewer games!
I will be cancelling our membership this season, and having not
been to too many away games, I suspect we'll choose to attend a
few more of those instead, so whilst rugby will still be getting
my money, Quins won't be.
You might be able to stomach an increase of several hundred
pounds in the current economic climate, but I just can't justify
it, especially when I can watch all the games from the comfort
of my own sofa for peanuts whilst also saving on travel, food
and beer costs!
