You can buy tickets cheaper via Quins website in the same area of the stand than going through Ulster season ticket >threaten
Rates bill surcharge of £3! Probably worth it to sit with our own or maybe not!! Went for South BB anyway! :red: :red: :red:

AA Cat 2 - £ 50.05 - Through Ulster
AC Cate 2 - £45.50 - Through Harlequins

No surcharge to add with Ulster, £3 charge per order (multiple tickets with Quins)

AC better seats closer to half way
I've always wondered if we can thank our CEO for allowing TicketThievingBastard to apply a "per ticket" rather than "per transaction", charge. Whoever signed off on that should have his ballbeg kicked up and down the pitch at every home game. It is a calumny.

The other thing that grinds my gears is that TicketBastard charge the same whether they print it and post it or you take the graft out of their job and print it at home.

As for SDC tickets, knock yourselves out, I don't give a crap.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

The charge is for administering the ticketing. If UR were to pay TM for this service, they would have to increase the face value. TM are pretty good at what they do, they've been doing it a fair wee while, you know. They will have a decent idea what costs and returns to expect on their ticket sales, based on what percentage are printed at home, collected from a box office, posted out, ...

Now if the tickets had a higher face value rather than TB adding their cut at the end, it could well be that the costs to the punter would be even higher, as I imagine TM are doing this from Jersey or the like and not a tax-inefficient office in East Belfast.

6 of us in North Stand Block GB Row C - £39.50 (price on ticket but with admin fee cost a wee bit more). Anyone else joining us? Any particular recommended pub in Richmond/Twickenham for pre match drinks or is the best idea just cider on the train/tube and straight into the ground when it opens? And when does it open? Ponder and discuss.

And some more info for those going to the game. Its Santathon this Saturday and I think my nephew is getting us registered and hopefully Ulster Onesies and our usual Santa style caps will qualify us for entry? Do we try flegs as well?

Will be on an 11am train from Waterloo

Twickenham is a place where bars are limited early on a Sunday

Likely to go straight to the ground

Anyone fancy congregating at waterloo?

I believe the William Webb Ellis (no prizes for guessing the pub chain) opens at 9.

A mile from The Stoop.
