Out of interest - what are the benefits/negatives for the differently priced seats in the south stand.
I get the grey zone is earmarked for safe standing.
Why are there 3 other prices in a small space behind that?

Don't mean to rude but how is charging an extra £20 a month pricing out real fans? Was every "real" fan on such an intensely fine budget that they couldn't afford an extra tenner per game? I can't work out if it's all talk or if thousands of ST holders who have been going for years (Wembley prices were irrelevant) genuinely cannot afford to go anymore.

£79 a game is a big difference to £59 a game.
Many people will have been stretching to pay the £59 per game, £79 will mean many cannot afford to go, DISGRACE.

Who charges more? Pretty sure we're the most expensive.

Them lot up the Hornsey Road, for a Cat A game in upper tier centre behind goal, members price £90 !!

I’ve just had a thought. Aren’t away tickets meant to be capped at 30 quid or something?

So the away fans are going to watch most games we are, for half the price. Now that’s not fair at all!

The prices are a disgrace - One of the poorest areas in London has now a completely unaffordable football ground on its door step for most of its residents.

The stadiums pricing should have been driven by bringing in as much revenue from the corporate side with a recognition that prices stay at affordable levels fro the majority. For me its terribly short sighted and a kick in the teeth for the supporters.

The continued reduction in cup ties for season tickets hoiders is a joke once 5 then 2 then 0.

The club doesn't want or merit loyalty as ever as long as the revenue rolls in the corporate are happy. Hopefully there will be some sort of protest I certainly won't be spending a penny more in the ground and won't go to any of the silly home cup ties that I have always turned out for.

Why we pay a thousand pound a season Bayern a super club pay 200 !!!

Barcelona V Chelsea, 2nd half started and everyone in their seats to watch the game ( not getting pizzas etc). PSG v R Madrid , PSG getting thumped and fans stayed to the bitter end. Compare that to us at Wembley , fans arriving 10 mins after kick off , leaving 5 minute before half time for pizzas etc, coming back 10 mins after start of 2nd half (missing Harrys goal against Arsenal) then leaving 10 mins before end to save queues at station. Hopefully the increased prices will make everyone want to get their moneys worth and we might have a full stadium from start to finish

be lucky to have that the corporate facilities and getting away will be a bit harder dream on I reckon

The prices rise as the seats rise above the goal as well as further away from us ruffians in the standing area and the dark blocks are the 1882 club I think.

What happens with the 5k ST that are promised to residents of haringey and Enfield? Do you they get a separate roll out and probably reduced prices ?

Not sure about price reductions but I seem to remember that in the email the club sent about this. If say 1000 current ST holders live in those boroughs then the figure becomes 4000.

I'm not even sure all these figures are legitimate. If you add 41k ST holders plus 8k Corprate plus 9k increased cup allocation =58k

DogsOfWar · Mar 15, 2018

I'm about as pro-Levy as you can get but I can't see how these prices can be justified.
There has to be a certain amount of loyalty to the fans and knocking off a couple of hundred quid on 15,000 or so tickets in the least favourable sections is only going to cost the club £3 million.
That's f**k all in terms of £100 million revenue and that would have been made up for by the two cup games that they've lost.

It looks like there is one. Says it's marked "GA" but who knows if you'll eer get to use it. Probably no coincidence it's on the same level as the boxes. There may be others but it's the only one i've seen

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.

Just wanted to say thanks again. Two of my group had been placed in lower pots compared to their families, despite having had season tickets for the same duration. Following your advice, two sets of fathers and sons are not going to be parted.

Thanks again (y)

It's bullshit. They don't get any reduced price at all, it just means that up to 5k of them will be offered an ST even if they don't have Bronze membership. However,

a) They had to register interest by a deadline last month with no publicity
b) If they had a Bronze membership they were offered one last season anyway
c) There really isn't anybody who didn't even want a membership who suddenly wants to drop a grand or more on a season ticket
d) The very few that do take it up (nowhere near 5k) will just replace those who don't renew

In reality it means very little at all, it's just a nonsense to get some not particularly well-informed councillors to sign off on planning permission.

He said £20 a month, not a game.

Is it nothing to do with facilities as well as ingress and egress?

Absolutely delighted pal, really glad I could help.

Everyone keeps arguing about the prices but I everyone seems to be missing the most important point.

The upper and lower bounds are, I think, acceptable but it's the distribution across the bands that's the problem. Apparently there are less than 1,200 seats in the < £900 bands and most are in the family sections where you need at least one kid in your group. There's a chunk in the £900-£1,000 range but most are in the south stand where they will get snapped up in the early phases. Once the first 5 or so phases have gone, I think the new season ticket holders will be forced to pay £1,200+ or nothing. Perhaps even £1,500.

The 1882 seats are a ridiculous idea. Aside from the absurd price, the 1882 perks should be an optional extra rather than forcing whole blocks to pay it.

Indeed. Why not simply charge £1,000 for it as an add-on to whatever seat you wish?

(Answer: Nobody would buy it and the club knows as much).

No they pay the same and the allocation is not actually a further 5000 season tickets issued , the number takes into account the current season ticket holders who live in those boroughs and as Enfield has the highest concentration of Spurs season ticket holders their allocation is probably already spoken for , there is a page about it on the Spurs website but its not that clear. I think they may get first offer when season or match tickets become available.

That's the big thing here. The amount of extra money they generate is sod all in the grand scheme of things. Make 30,000 tickets £300 cheaper and the amount lost wouldn't even be enough to pay one player £200,000 a week. The whole "we need this to move to the next level" argument is bullshit. This is about milking the fans, that's all there is to it.

Even from a business sense it seems a bit stupid to me or at least lacks foresight. They try to sell Spurs having some of the best support around (certainly in London) as part of the brand. With these prices and the sort of fans it will attract to the stadium, or more to the point the fans that will be lost, within a few years that'll be gone and we'll be no different from Arsenal.

I'll give it one year but that'll be it from me. Who knows, I might go back at some point if the football bubble ever bursts.
