Im in the same boat as you-heard nothing. They did say they would be contacting us.

Ive had a couple of e mails from the club explaining tickets could be obtained before the Salford or Hudds fixtures at the match day ticket office on giving up voucher 6 from my season ticket. Otherwise we were advised to ring the club or
send the voucher in with a covering letter by post to the club.

Can only assume that your e mail addresses have dropped off the system'

I travel to every game, home and away, over 6500 miles a year to see my team. Many teams selfishly host the fixture on a Friday night, charge nearly £20 for a crumbling terrace, offer no adequate facilities for a beer and nothing after the match. I would say that £25 for a seat to watch two top level Rugby games, a live band, a good seat and decent people is a fair deal. Personally speaking you go to London and you pay London prices. A lot of floating away supporters have turned their back to go to France whereby £10 will not even get you two beers. These same whingers will then slag Quins off for low crowds. It is five years since Sts took a big mob to our ground. I wouldn't like us to alienate either of the Hulls or Wigan as they bring 1000. But why should we let people pick and choose on a Rugby United day. Do these people write to Murrayfield asking for a special exemption? No, so pay up or stay in the Black Bull and enjoy the warm feeling of saving your tenner. Great supporters, only 5 times a year is it hard to get to the game and you don't bother. The ground will fill and better it be League than Union, but I don't care just don't hassle the club for your petty narrow minded selfish interests

None of that is relevant, the point is that this game specifically has been jacked up. If we charged £25 every week and attempted to justify it then that would be fair enough and a different story.

This Rugby United day is a load of rubbish, it was our match day, simple as that, the club are treating League supporters with contempt and it is unacceptable, nothing to do with "petty narrow minded selfish interets", a statement I find astounding and patronising. I suppose the announcements in the budget haven't bothered you either? Some people obviously have open wallets, "here, feel free to take my money, I don't care what it is for, I have no principles whatsoever"

Here here

My mate was hoping to come to this one who came to his first game against Huddersfield, but has been put off by this price hike. Clearly money isn't an issue to many people on here who don't seem to care about the price hike, so anyone prepared to put up the difference for him? Reply on this thread and we'll arrange something.

The topic is an accusation that £25 for two top level Rugby games in London is a rip-off. I don't believe it is. It is roughly the same price pro rata as a Gold Season ticket or the same price as an RU game. A cheap season ticket for home fans is only £99 so they can afford to attend for a minimal contribution to the club. It is unfortunate that a small number of away supporters feel ripped off, but then again this minority from one club of average support who come once a year at most is of low importance. The club is decaying and I applaud anything that puts upto 10,000 Londoners in front of our game. Maybe my comments do not resonate with you but I do not care you are a fool to consider them irrelevant. I have little interest in the budget, weather or any other factors I have no influence over. Your decision is always to do something or not to, this leisure activity is not compulsory

I think what some appear to be saying is that it is normally £15 to watch Quins RL. On this occasion they are forcing a different sport onto people at a £10 cost that some may not wish to see. Do you think it would have been difficult to produce a pink ticket that you can purchase for £15 and only use after 4 30.

Hurragh!

I don't think that a single person has actually suggested that. If you could point one out then great, but you are arguing with yourself here.

I have weighed up my response to this very carefully and can see some of the points from both the for and against camps. I am very disappointed with what is occuring, here are the facts as I see them.

1. £25 is the normal fee for a Quins Union match so as a Union fan if you are prepared to hang about you get to see free superleague, if you aren't you pay exactly the same as you would week in week out.
2. Last year as I recall my entry as a full price adult was £15 and my mother paid £10 as a concession. To get the same seat for the same fixture mum pays 100% more than last year whilst I pay and extra £10.
3. I as many others have no interest whatsoever in attending a union game and think the choice should be available. If it's about raising the profile of SL in London then why not charge each set of supporters what they usually pay and allow those choosing to watch the union game the option of free admission to the SL game what in affect is actually happening. Those Saints fans who want to see the two then buy a union ticket and watch both for £25 where as those who don't aren't forced with a all or nothing situation.

I have spoken to both clubs regarding this, one was very supportive and sympathetic of the supporters concerns whilst the other was totally uninterested and saw it as a opportunity to sell surplus tickets to Union fans. I will let you decide which is which. I am not having a go at anyone for wanting to promote the sport in London as I see this is a good thing. What I am having a go at is the removal of being able to make the choice. The league fans are not been afforded the same benefits as their Union Counterparts.

Finally the people who I feel more sympathy for than anyone are the Quins RL fans as they have a team not performing well on the pitch and season ticket holders aside their "pay as you view" and walk up support are also having to pay the higher fee. Quins really need to start looking after the fans that they already have before promoting the game on the off chance they might get a few Unions fans crossing over. I can see after the few thousand extra on the gate has been spent and the attendance figures long forgotten the Quins League fans will not forget so quickly

I will still be attending the fixture SL but can't listen to anymore drivel about it only being an extra £5 or £10 without having a say. I will be doing so with with my own refreshments and taking my tenner money back by boycotting the concessions and bar. More than one way to skin a cat and all that.

I can't work it out which is which?

Quins really need to start looking after the fans that they already have before promoting the game on the off chance they might get a few Unions fans crossing over. I can see after the few thousand extra on the gate has been spent and the attendance figures long forgotten the Quins League fans will not forget so quickly - Bassbones, I think you may have hit the nail on the head! The Union fans have only come across in the smallest of numbers - if they haven't taken the bait yet I don't think they ever will (or in the case of many of them that they were ever going to!). Either way RL and RL fans will be losing out both financially and in good will terms by this . As Jim Royle (think Ricky Tomlinson is a Saints fan) Rugby United , my ar5e!!

You could drag me kicking and screaming to a union game have one of those machines to keep my eyes open like in clockwork orange and make me watch a whole season. I still wouldn't watch a game under my own steam it just doesn't interest me, i'm sure the majority of our union chums feel the same. What i'm reading into this is that they are peeing off and putting off RL fans in a vain attempt to 'get more fans'. I don't see the logic there. Instead of complaining though just don't go, and save £25, buy a bottle of vodka, knock one out and come on here and moan.
Write as many emails as you like, the price is £25 end of. You might think it stinks but no one in a position to change it cares.

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.

This has got to be the most pathetic thread the RL forums has had, and we contribute to most other pathetic threads as well!
