So one week I get a letter “from” Bob Hillier asking me to fund the Quins Foundation - which I did, sounds amazing.
Now the absolute mickey taking sods announce that money from ticket resale is going to NOT all go to the Foundation that they claim is so important but will instead also be pumped into the academy and women’s team.
Total and utter joke. I hope they make no money at all. I’d urge anyone to swap tickets on here rather then let the club siphon cash away from the Foundation.
Club email:
“Previously, when you resold your membership seat for a match, you received 50% of the sale price as eCash and the remaining 50% funded Harlequins Foundation programmes. You will continue to receive 50% of the sale price when you sell your seat, but the remaining 50% will now be distributed to helping develop future generations by investing in our Academy and women’s programme as well as funding the Harlequins Foundation.
Last season over £51k was donated to the Harlequins Foundation by supporters using Ticket Resale, with the same amount returned to supporters who were not able to attend a match. If you haven’t used Ticket Resale before, you can find a step-by-step guide here, so when you can’t make it to a match, you’ll be able to ensure someone else can cheer the team on from your seat while getting some money back and investing in the future of the game.”
