**EARLY-BIRD DEADLINE**

Supporters wanting to get the best value for their 2020-21 season ticket memberships are reminded that close of business on Saturday sees the end of the early-bird pricing period, which will not be extended. The ticket office is open from 9am on the day, with staff on hand to process season tickets and match-day tickets.

Once the ticket office closes following the game against London Scottish, normal pricing will come into force for the 17-game package. Early bird season tickets start from just £190 for adults, £170 for concessions and £65 for under-16s, with this year’s concession category also including all 16 to 24-year-olds.

Early bird prices offer savings of up to 51% on match-by-match tickets, with additional benefits including a season-long discount in the club shop, entry into the international ticket ballot and an invite to a season ticket members’ event. Beating the early bird deadline can mean savings of up to £60 on full-price adult season ticket membership, while supporters currently on three-year season tickets with one year remaining can buy for another two seasons at the same price, effectively meaning a new three-year season ticket.
