This is what I know. I already have my ticket for the Union match. I am in the South Stand. After that match is over I shall be returning to my RL seat for the match against St Helens.

So the club have now confirmed to me they have effectively ripped up the terms of buying a Bronze season ticket and are making us sit in allocated seats.

Marvelous.

There's probably some small print that lets them get away with it.

Indeed, doesn't make it right though.

I am in shock having read this whole chain, can undertand Saints fans being a little bit annoyed by paying an extra tenner but I am a Bronze Season Ticket Holder and I have no problem with an allocated seat. I am really looking forward to the day, not a huge Union fan but going to watch with a few pints of IPA and enjoy the atmosphere of a full stadium.

We cannot afford to be so belligerent about this situation, I am just happy I still have a team to watch and am thus realistic. The club has to bring in every penny it can and this double header makes economic sense.
Yes I know it is easy for me to say this as I am not paying any more for this game, but our club cannot continue to function forever on current attendances so I will not be complaining when they try new innovations and explore new revenue streams.

On a side note, does anyone know if Leeds are expected to bring many fans down? I see they are teetering on the verge of relagation. Saints, Leeds, Quins Union and League fans. Going to be fun trying to get to the bar!!

neither will I, PLEASE TELL ME WHEN WHEN IT HAPPENS.

Sorry, but the only benefit from this double header will be to inflate the clubs average attendances for the season. It didn't work on any other level in 2006 (if it had, they would have repeated it in 2007).

As for saints fans........there loss is offset with the free tickets for Huddersfield fans and the £5 seats for HKR fans this Monday.....genius, pure genius
I look forward to reading with inerest the offer for a £5 ticket for Castleford fans announced on facebook on May 15th

Re: Rip off Quins!!! : Wed Mar 31, 2010 9:24 pm  

So we pay £25 and Hull KR pay £5 and Quins pay £7 to watch the Crusaders match.

Sounds to me as if Saints aren't welcome at the Stoop or are we subsidising the £5 game? I feel we really are being ripped off big-time!!

So you think it is right to in effect penalise both the Saints fans whose coaches are scheduled to arrive in time for the Quins RL fixture and the Quins RL supporters who only wish to watch the RL fixture anyway. A one off fixture is not going to solve our revenue problems it is only going to falsely inflate our attendance figure in order to appease the RFL come licence renewal time. Enjoy the atmosphere of a full stadium, it'll be business as usual for the rest of the season...........

Every cloud and all that
Seriously, this has been handled badly by the club (IMO that is) and I sympathise with the Saints fans who feel aggrieved

Believe me when I say this.....a lot of Quins fans sympathise with you.......I for one will not be there because of the rip off price, and the money I was going to find for my Summer season ticket will now be spent elsewhere.
