Maybe they think people won’t realise that being a season ticket
holder that each game is costing you say £40, but you could buy
tickets individually at £35. If you see what I mean.

That's assuming that match ticket prices don't change as well?

A new season ticket holder in gold on a DD is now paying £113
per ticket if just going to Premiership games
If renewing it’s still £110 per game if just going to prem
Touch line is £61.00 per game at £555 and that for a renewal
So fair play to the club for selling it in these numbers

Listening to commentators on the TV it feels like quins over the
last few seasons have managed to create a product that doesn't
depend on us winning either the premiership, cup or even the
game you are watching. How long this would last if we end up mid
table every season. Winning the prem definitely kicked it off
with the stunning comebacks, I guess the question is would you
rather support an entertaining team or one that wins
titles...Ironically looking back at times quins didn't do either
;)

Mark Evans said years back that attendance and ST sales had very
little to do with on pitch performance.
I like the fact that Quins try to play entertaining rugby. Two
Premiership titles says that at least occasionally it works!

Winning is not a necessary condition for a loyal fanbase. Wins
and trophies help to grow the base, but you only have to look at
Bath or Gloucester to see that fans will be loyal even after
long periods of underperformance. And a lot of fans want a good
day out and aren't as emotionally committed to whether their
team win or lose than a lot of us are.
Quins offers a friendly environment, recognisable faces and
games that generally feature one or both of a lot of scoring or
a close finish. There's also limited local competition if you
want to watch top flight rugby - London Irish might get there,
but their squad is less well known, and the atmosphere is quite
different. Saracens offer more wins, but their stadium is harder
to get to and their win record gets a bit processional after a
while.

Remember that we've won as many Premiership titles as Exeter,
who are held up as an exemplar by many, & 1 more than Saints ,
who are also well-regarded.

Would love to know the churn here - how many are renewals vs new
customers and how has that changed?

In the past I think an average of 20% PA has been quoted? If
Quins put out figures in a few months time saying how long the
waiting list is, then assume about the same. If they keep quiet
about it then assume they have dug deep in to the waiting list
to guarantee revenue.
