I guess it depends on your point of view/comparison between Murrayfield and mini-field but for us, we had a gold seats in 2019/20 and now a concession will more than double for a new cat 1 seat.
The 2019/20 season tickets were £185/£210 (Silver/Gold) and concessions £50 to £105 (Silver)/ £70 to £120 (Gold). Now the Cat 1 is £295 and £250 for a concession.
Are we saying that a 2019/20 gold seat is now the same product as a new Cat 3 seat - both at £210? We finished 2nd bottom in the pro 14 conference and 2nd bottom in the rainbow cup, and haven't signed any big names (in my opinion) to justify the increase. I'm sure some will be quick to point to the new stadium which will be great when full, but I'm just a little disappointed with these increases.
I was expecting my Silver to go to around £230 so a bit more than i had hoped. I think the Concessions seem to be a smaller discount on top of a chunky increases is that correct?
To mitigate - obviously COVID and no ticket income for a year, plus the impact of losing our Internationals for most of season. We have had little or no increases for a number of years, could argue when we had qualified for champs cup ticket prices should have been higher, or Increasing £10 a year for last 7 years is a bit easier to stomach than all at once (ignoring the on field horrors endured during this time).
Signings - as you note subjective, but we have retained Mata, Watson, Ritchie, Graham (i would class all of them as big re-signings) and are bringing in Lang, Vellacott among others. What sort of big name would you be looking for?
I think your points are valid i am interested in folks take on it, SRU clearly think they will sell STs at these price points, it may back fire if too many think it is too steep.

Sign of experience. Not wanting to play in meaningless games .

My son and I have been season ticket holder since God was a boy. We had seats on the half way line at Murrayfield, Myreside and Murrayfield again.
I logged onto my SRU ticket account at 9:45. I kept refreshing until I got into the Edinburgh season ticket purchasing at 9:55, to find there were hardly any tickets left. We have ended up with pretty poor seats at a premium price.
Given that I was in even before the official start, how on earth did I then find all the good seats gone?

Same. I'd done meticulous preparation using the virtual tour to pick out the best possible locations and none were available.
A cynic might say they weren't actually available in the first instance. Either way it begs the question, who got those dozens or even hundreds of seats, and why/how?

Corporate hospitality, sponsors, WAGs…
