The number of members they quote is way higher than I had thought, and I can see why they have gone the way they have.
I also think they are going to be upsetting a lot of their most valuable fans and ST renewals could well drop as a result. If paying for your seats up front every year doesn't buy you a bonus for a big game then people may well decide to not bother, and pick and chose games.
Ironically I doubt it will make any real difference as to who gets tickets, I will just mean STH will have to wait a lot longer before joining the scrum. I know it will affect me as one of my season tickets is shared by 2 people, neither of whom can make every game, although the ticket is always used.
ST are exactly the people you do not want to upset.
But, as I say, I can also see the logic of trying to spread the tickets as widely as possible.
