Will the whole capacity of the south stand be available for st holders to purchase or do the club only make a certain amount of seats available?

Which will lead to massively annoyed people complaining that they were forced to pay loads for a season ticket somewhere more expensive so Korean tourists could buy the cheap ones each matchday, completely ignoring all the local fans who just can't afford season tickets

Would you mind sharing the broad approach you took to getting yours corrected successfully, seems a lot have been affected by this (I mean apart from kicking up a fuss, was there anything specific?).
Thanks.
Edit: Not trying to game the system (whatever system that may be) for personal gain, one member of our group is phase 2, his son is phase 4, despite being season ticket holders for the same amount of time. Just seems unfair.

My advice if you think you are in the wrong phase due to multiple STs previously being under one name:
Email the ticket office and just be clear and firm, say they have made an error rather than saying 'this is unfair blah blah blah'. Say it was normal for multiple season tickets to be all in one customer's name and that the start date for the lower phase ST is therefore wrong, it's just when it was renamed. They will then have the ability to check how many STs were under one name and see that you are telling the truth, and they should rectify the mistake.

You're underestimating the effect of compounded inflation. If you work £2,200 back to 2002, it corresponds to £1,550 @ 2.5% average inflation, £1,370 @ 3% inflation and £1,270 @ 3.5% inflation. What was the most expensive ticket in he ground in 2002? £1,100? So nowhere near double in real money.

£1500 near the halfway line now would be £969.21 then when it was actually £875. £975 behind the goal now would be £630.44 then when it was actually £495. That's a 27% above inflation increase in the cheap seats compared to 11% in the expensive ones.

Calculator there is very good for this stuff.

I thought the standing area is below the 1882 area.
The 1882 area isn’t corporate anyway. I don’t understand the logic that because people pay more they won’t be contributing to the atmosphere.
Nobody is going to buy a ticket in the south stand without understanding that it’s going to be the main place (but hopefully denfinitely the only place) that makes lots of noise with people most likely standing up all game if allowed. If they buy tickets there without understanding that then frankly they are an idiot. It’s been made clear enough times by the club about the ethos of that stand.

I think another problem is the lack of ability to buy seats in the east and west lower all along the side of the pitch. I think that’s a mistake. It’s not going to be very scary for opposition players.

The people in the same boat as me might like to know that I received an email last night explaining the club can see that my client ref numbers were split up in 08/09 and have moved me to phase one. I spoke to Michael and Andrew in the ticket office.

Cheers. That’s good to know they’ve done it for you so I can say others have had the problem rectified should I run into any problems.
I’ve emailed them again so hopefully I’ll get good news back plus email confirmation.
Sooo the club has justified 8 rows in South Stand for those premium seats for 2200. But let's forget about that for a second and imagine that tickets for all seats in south stand, which was promised to be place for "most passionate fans", is ranged from 875 to 1200. Cause that's what it is if we forget about 1882 club. Is that very much above what you expected? As I said, I'm not from England but I'm very curious about this whole situation and fans opinion. And I'm wondering if taking out this 1882 club seats would change your opinion little bit.

Yeah a huge mistake. Even arsenal didn't do that. Those parts will be half empty most of the time as people stay in the cheese room I would expect. I thought corporate seats would just be the middle tier like arsenal but theyre all over the stadium. There's so many different ways they've got this completely wrong.

I don't think anybody would have complained about £875-1200 for the south stand. That is what most would have expected. But I think the issue is that it just adds fuel to peoples heated emotions regarding pricing all over the stadium. From the sky lounge down to the touchline, their are corporate seats basically throughout the east and west. People would have stomached that despite what it would do for atmosphere, with the promise of a stand simply for the fans, and to get greedy with the south stand also has made it the focal point for a lot of peoples emotions.

I think it'll be fine for the first few weeks, then when it starts to become clear that the middle of the east and west lower, middle and upper tiers are all empty for the first 5-10 minutes of every half, and that many of the people in those sections aren't even Tottenham supporters, they're just people that a company has invited to the game, people are going to start getting very angry.
Was the entire middle tier of the stadium not enough for corporate seating?
