Connacht Rugby Season Tickets & Upgrade Feedback

Citylink are sponsors now, so I would not expect Connacht to be paying for this. If necessary, it could cost a bit extra for a season ticket with bus included. I don't see the point of having a sponsorship deal with a transport company if they're not going to provide transport.

I suggested this to the branch last season!! It's an easy way of promoting Connacht. Agree with scarf or hat alternate seasons,always handy and easily lost. Also want to see Connacht CAR flags. As for 'ladies!!' day, it's a good few years since they last had one (wanted refund on ST cos i could have got in free )

I thought of a couple more.

• Announce the matchday ticket prices before or at the same time as starting season ticket sales, so people will know what they're saving. Also give some indication of what the normal kick-off time is going to be.
• If we are sticking with 5pm Saturday kickoffs, consider the option of a ST that includes food in the pavilion after the game. I often leave just because I'm hungry! Nothing fancy, just a burger or a curry or whatever. I'd pay €300 if my ticket included the current upgrade benefits plus 8 dinners. Plus I'd pay for more pints.

I would agree with a lot of what is being said here and some good ideas coming forward.

I would say, in order

1. Season ticket holders should get priority purchasing for extra tickets or away tickets, Not looking for discounts just that ST get access to purchase maybe one week before they go on general sale.

2. As other have said, alternate hat\scarf every other year, they should be exclusive too! no point getting a gift if you could have bought it yourself!.

If these two things were in place i'd be more than happy. I have my own views on the kick-off times\days but there's no way your ever going to suit everyone so i don't see a point in making a fuss.

I don't really feel that the ST at the minute have any advantages over buying on the night, perhaps the only advantage is we don't have to scramble to get into the Clan terrace for big games but thats about it.

EDIT: Pinky, that's a great idea. I would stick around for that for sure and once you get settled in with food in your belly...

You are right, if you attend every game then there is a significant cost saving.

Personally i don't get to attend every game, usually miss 1 or 2 in the season (and i'm not counting the pre-season games) and these cancel out the cost savings so i don't base my decision to purchase a season ticket on the basis of savings over single match purchasing. Being a forgetful clot i have only used the drinks vouchers once! but there isn't a lot Connacht Rugby can do about that

So taking that into consideration, this year my ST benefits were, 3 Free drinks, Daft autograph book and a guaranteed entry to the Clan stand, oh and 10% discount on gear.

These are just my own considerations in ST purchase and i am in no way saying this would be the situation for everyone.
