They've done that with the Scotland Season Tickets. There are no new Season Tickets available any more. Those bought through clubs have been capped against the number that were bought last year, commission has been reduced and clubs will be cut out of the communication loop with the season ticket holders during the coming season. Obviously someone in Marketing has decided that the season tickets are too good an offer. We'll see how that pans out in both contexts (Scotland, Edinburgh)
Scotland season passes a very different beast.
For a start Murrayfield has been selling out for Scotland games, not a problem Edinburgh have had. Season passes will be sold up to a limit to allow allocations for debentures, opposition and clubs as contracted to provide. Level of commission should be set to at least partly reflect how easy/difficult tickets are to sell. It is a shame if clubs are less involved but this all reflects how well Scotland tickets have sold, and season passes are cash up front. SRU needs to screw every pound from Murrayfield it can so as to afford players and new stadia.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't
