I just went ahead and bought my season ticket (£497.00 in Block
BE again - with the senior discount) and £160.00 for the
Rosebine parking permit.
Good health permitting, I will try & attend all home games
including the women's.
There was no debate within my mind about the prices - I will
support my team as long as I can; I make that just over
£27/match (based on 24 home games including Rosebine parking
costs). I don't think that's bad at all. I wonder what a Chelsea
FC season ticket would be (excluding travel costs)?

Undeniably so, but I've already emailed in my cancellation.
My name will always be on the wall in the North Village, but
with the price increases of the last two years, I won't be able
to look at it without a title of "World's Biggest Suckers"
appearing above it in my mind.
Looking on the bright side, I fully intend to spend plenty more
Saturdays experiencing all your reasons to be cheerful at my
local club, just without the financial pain. [emoji3]

How much would a Chelsea season ticket be, you ask?
I don't know what the renewal costs would be, but given you're a
senior citizen, you'd be paying between between £47 and £212
LESS than your Quins renewal!
HTML https://www.chelseafc.com/en/ticket-prices-season-tickets
That cheaper Chelsea season ticket would get you up to 19
Premier League home games, 2 FA Cup games and 5 European cup
games, with most PL clubs providing rebates if the club doesn't
progress as far as expected in cup competitions. That's 26
games for the men's first team, so more than you're getting on
the Quins season ticket even including the women's games!
I have zero interest in football, but all the same, you're going
to have to explain to me how Quins is better value than Chelsea.

I haven't received anything in the post yet. Can someone please
post what the price increases are, for each category of tickets,
and (if possible) how many matches that covers compared to last
season?
Has car parking increased as well?

If you buy a car 40+ years old then it's exempt from ULEZ and
Congestion Charges as well as road tax, and you'll be able to
insure it under a classic car insurance policy which is likely
to be cheaper than a mainstream policy.

So Chelsea FC top price season ticket is £940, Brentford FC
£549, London Irish 585, Quins 995, Saracens £1,307.5 can't find
Fulham for 23/24
Saracens isn't as local support base as the others, so we are
the most expensive and on a per game basis in your season ticket
seat far and away the most expensive. I thought the benchmarking
on the presentation was a bit suspect.
As a final comparison Surrey CCC membership (Surrey and England
guaranteeing a seat for the Ashes) £304 gets all county, T20
blast, one day cup, hundred and women's competitions.
Not giving up my seat yet but the value for money argument is a
bit weak when compared to the other nearby clubs.

Well the clues where there in the state of play, keep
referencing how we aren’t paying enough compared to others
My ticket has increase by 41% since 2021, really starting to
question it with less games players away on international duties
nd the talk of 3 games over the road

In 2019, the Premiership started the day before the knock-out
stages of the 2019 RWC. In 2015, the same held true. In 2011,
the Premiership started 6 days before the 2011 RWC *pool stages*
began.

There's a benefit for having the Prem start earlier, as you can
have a clear break when the 6N comes around, putting the Prem
Cup in there instead, particularly as there will two fewer home
games for each team to have to fit in.

Although the start date hasn't been made public/confirmed, at
the State of play meeting Tabai said "we are 33 weeks away from
the premiership starting next year" this puts the start date
mid to late Oct.

I've not read the email yet but I can't believe all this
moaning. Surely you know the club are struggling and buying a
season ticket is a voluntary thing, after all! And there are
2,500 people desperate to spend as much as they can on your
tickets! 😂😂

Quins better be good next year! Have been a member for 11 years
which has included some pretty grim times and rugby. I am at my
limit. The game needs to sort itself. I worry about Newcastle
and Irish, will they go next? How many times have we seen Marcus
et al this season, sort the fixture list FFS. Nobody even knows
when next season starts atm. Why have the Prem Cup games been
midweek, used to love them and happily went to Sixways to
celebrate our LV Cup triumph, surely these can move back to
weekends. I managed last years increase by reducing spend in the
ground, next year there will be zero spend. The ticket price
comparisons with football clubs they produce are frankly
pointless, comparing Quins with Chelsea and Arsenal is like
berating BT as to why they are not paying £5bn for rugby
rights.........
