use unless the honest figure is announced

How can they do that? If RU fans decide to stay and watch to see if they like league who would not have normally come would that count? If union fans stay for 10 minutes and leave due to not liking the product does that count? How can you possibly calculate any stats from the day?

I've got a radical thought!

Weigh up the decision whether twenty five quid is too much, then either attend the match or don't.

As a season ticket holder this issue doesn't affect me, but that's exactly what most non-ST holders will do; except they won't bother commenting about it on here, their support will just be lost, for this game and possibly further games as a result. It looks like there will be no pay on the day tickets available, even to people willing to pay £25. And as usual the "elite hard core" supporters on here just look down and sneer at anyone who refuses to blindly pay whatever they're asked. As if the club can afford to lose any more support.

I can't believe people are still missing the point so badly. Prince of Denmark spot on as usual.

Just out of interest, have seats for the Union game been kept back for League ST holders? I assume they must have been, or else the ground could be over capacity?

League Season Ticket holders (X) have been allocated seats in the South Stand. They just have to be claimed. Therefore there are X number of seats accounted for.

Our STHs had to exchange the relevant voucher for a match ticket in advance. The email I received from the club is quoted verbatim below:

"Saturday 10th April sees Harlequins RL take on St Helens; KO 6pm in the Super League. Harlequins RU have also now re-arranged their match against Leeds Carnegie and so the day is now a very exciting ‘Rugby United’ double header and is an excellent example of how both Clubs are working in partnership. The day kicks off at 2pm and your Bronze Season Ticket is valid for both matches.

However there are a few changes to the seating arrangements for the two matches: -

· The seating arrangements for both games will be reserved seating and therefore you will require an allocated seat for either match.
· You will be able to sit in any of the stands but not in the middle three blocks of the LV= or Etihad Stands.
· You will be offered the opportunity to reserve your seats before the remainder of the tickets go on general sale

What do I need to do if you want to attend both matches?

You will need to exchange Voucher Number 6 in your Season Ticket booklet for a match ticket. This can be done in various ways: -

· Come down to the Stoop during normal office hours to exchange your voucher (Mon & Fri 9-4.30; Tues, Wed & Thurs 10-4.30)
· Come along to the Salford City Reds match (14th March) or the Huddersfield Giants match (20th March) and exchange at the Ticket Office on match day
· Send in your voucher along with a covering note to The Ticket Office, Harlequins, Twickenham Stoop Stadium, Langhorn Drive, Twickenham, Middlesex TW2 7SX

We appreciate that you and a group of friends may normally sit together at games, so to ensure that you can still do for this game, please co-ordinate your ticket order.

Don’t forget it will not cost you any more money to watch both matches so why not take up this opportunity?"

I couldn't be bothered with doing that, so can I just rock up? Sounds like the South Stand will be available for people like me then?

Re: Rip off Quins!!! : Fri Mar 26, 2010 1:25 pm  

I was told that RL Season ticket holders could only get seats in the South Stand for the first match.

Re: Rip off Quins!!! : Fri Mar 26, 2010 1:26 pm  

I'm going to sit in the middle of the Etihad I think and refuse to move.
