The clubs answer to the 28% rise in jester tickets
Thank you for your email into the club querying the price changes for the 2020/21 season.
The Club is focused on improving the experience of supporters and Season Ticket Members attending matches at The Stoop and recent investments demonstrate this e.g. in 19/20 we have introduced two new giant screens, two new scoreboards, over 110 interactive TV’s throughout the stadium, increased investment in entertainment on a matchday pre match. Furthermore, following feedback, the 20/21 Membership programme includes many new elements that will be highly valued by Season Ticket Members e.g. new card, new gift, enhanced digital content.
The Club has reviewed Jester/ Touchline and Club Memberships in great detail and determined that the level of discount previously offered as unsustainable. In 19/20 season, a renewing adult Jester received 50% discount and paid just over £13 per match. This level of discount is disproportionate vs other categories at Quins, vs the local marketplace and indeed the sports and entertainment industry. It is in short unsustainable for Quins to continue to offer this level of discount as the Club seeks to increase investment into the matchday experience at The Stoop.
The first payment for all Season Ticket Members on direct debit will be the 1st of April 2020. Members should expect further communication regarding membership for the 2020/21 season via the post.
Thank you for your support this season.

The first paragraph is corporate B.S. and applies to all member and any one with a match ticket. It might justify a 6 to 9 percent rise other members have. The second paragraph is basically, tough rubbish, as we know there is demand there, so if you don’t renew someone else will take them!
I’m not sure what 50% discount relates to, as this season (2019/20) it was a 23% discount for renewal against new.
