Dirk Gently For those who buy tickets individually, don't forget that ticket prices should go down by about 2.5% from Monday!
Not quite sure how the club will implement this though - or even if they will!
The bad news is that as the transaction for Season Tickets was done in the summer there's no chance of backdated reductions.

Royal Lady According to the radio this morning, a spokesman for RFC said that they would be passing on the VAT reductions on ticket sales and merchandise.
From this, I would assume that although ST holders have already paid for this year, this should mean that for next season, ST's will have 15% VAT on them, as the reduction runs for a year! Therefore, paying up front for a ST will definitely be the best option, if people can afford it!

Barry the bird boggler It all helps. 2.5% off is 2.5p in every pound

Edukation, Educasion, Educashon!
What a wonderful job our politicians have done in educating our populace!
I believe westendgirl is correct - perhaps she went to a private school or was educated at a time when education, rather than fiddling stats was the priority!

Is that sum correct ?
Surely you are adding 15% to the base price instead of 17.5% rather than taking 2.5 % of the sale price away ?
If you take 2.5% off £20 you are giving away more than 2.5% of the base price of the ticket by a small amount....
So if the ticket was £10 and 17.5% VAT made it £11.75 and 15% made it £11.50, taking 2.5 % off £11.75 would take you to £11.45
Interesting stuff !
