on the interactive map, the seats towards the top of 201 and 213 have a big sheet of glass in front of them.

Yep, but these are the same magic ashtrays we had at the Lane, where you can also piss in them

I know it's expensive but anyone hoping that their season tickets would be the same kind of price isn't being realistic. A couple of hundred quid increase isn't that bad really. I certainly wouldn't be arguing if I could even get one

Does anyone seriously care about the colour of the all they're looking at while taking a piss? Is that actually meant to be a selling point? Because personally I just want to take a piss and then get out, not admire the aesthetics.In the PDF Yellow is South stand perhaps the other stands lav's are Green, Blue and Bronze (North, West and East)

That’s around all the bottom rows when there’s a platform in front I think

Just glanced at the camera again and saw a load of people in the bowl, got a bit excited that something was about to happen, then noticed the time and realised it's knocking off time/shift change

Why not? They have an extra 22k general admissions seats, at £800 per year (including revenue from cup games and junior/senior concessions) that'd be £17.5m per year. Naming rights are going to be £20m. If their new facilities can convince 50k people to spend an extra £4 each worth of profit per game on food and drink that's £5m. If the corporate facilities bring in the same revenue increase as they did at Arsenal that £69m. That's a revenue boost of £111.5m per year. Let's assume I've been a bit too generous there and say it's £85m. The would mean the stadium had entirely, 100% paid for itself within a decade, after which it's pure profit. That's an insane return on investment on a large infrastructure project like this. And yet they insist on risking everything by whacking the prices up for those who can least afford it to achieve around an extra £10m per year in revenue, and perhaps pay off the stadium one year more quickly. That isn't necessary in the slightest and I'm confident in saying it'll prove a very serious mistake soon enough.I know it's expensive but anyone hoping that their season tickets would be the same kind of price isn't being realistic. A couple of hundred quid increase isn't that bad really. I certainly wouldn't be arguing if I could even get one

Demand and supply will determine the price just as it does for most things.
The problem with season tickets is that demand adjusts every year and the tickets last a year. So there is some guess work going on for what the demand will be.

And also that traditional economic assumptions like demand and supply rely on consumer choice, which doesn't apply to subjects of emotional attachment. Tottenham fans aren't going to see £1,000+ prices and go off to support West Ham. They're going to stay away more often, quite possibly protest, stop buying shirts and all the rest of the peripheral revenue too. From that club's point of view most importantly, they're not going to bring along their children and raise them as Spurs fans, so you'll likely see a slowly declining support. And the point about demand and supply not working in the circumstance applies in the reverse situation too: if in 10 years time we're finishing 9th, those children have never been to many games, and other fans who used to go every week had to give up their seats a decade ago, those numbers won't magically re-materialise just because the price drops, nor will we gain fans from whatever club jacks up the prices next. The club is ultimately reliant on the loyalty of its existing fans, maybe not so much now but especially if our fortunes ever sour. They'd do very well to remember that.
