Apologies if already posted , seems we have about 39750 ST and they intend to increase to 42000,so hope for all those on the waiting list.

@Spurs 1961

"We shall have approximately 39,750 existing Season Ticket holders selecting from a pool of more than 50,000 seats available within the new stadium bowl. We shall then go to our Season Ticket Waiting List to bring our total up to approximately 42,000."

That's a relief. I was worried I'd either be left with £2,200 seats or seats behind the screens!

So does anyone know what happens on Monday (or any other phase) for purchases. Do you sign into the ticket office (and suffer the circle of doom) or have to wait for the email with the link to another platform (and probably get the same circle)?

You'd think/hope that Ticketbastard's servers can handle 5000 people at once.

There would have been a lot of people offered a season ticket at Wembley this season who didn't take up the offer, so you'll have gone ahead of them by default.

I still don’t understand why they are not just trying to move people as close as possible to where they were sitting at WHL?

If the seat you get offered is not where you would like or too expensive then you wouldn’t be forced to take it.

Possibly because they anticipated demand being extremely high for the new south stand and almost all of WHL's season ticket holders would fit on there!

But they would have just moved everyone in the Park Lane Lower into the new lower South and same thing with the upper tier. Then there would be plenty left over for fans who wanted to move from their previous type of seat, but still kept those who didn’t in roughly the same place without splitting people up.

I just don’t understand their thinking.

Just seen he's also added since that went to press:

"The PL is unique, financially dominant and global. I imagine that a general decline in stadium atmosphere can damage the value of that product. Link to ticket pricing, seating location and safe standing is almost inevitable. Long-term gains vs short-term profits, eternal dilemma."

Absolutely spot on. A footballer displaying more intelligence on this than the businessmen, stereotypes really are nonsense ;)

the big difference is the owners of his club, never built their stadium, and doubt it cost them a fortune to purchase it. they also throw money at transfers and are not that bothered about at having to put dear prices for their st holders as they are not a business, they are a play thing!

at the moment we can't compete on wages or in the transfer market and also pay the loans off. we still won't be able to match the manc clubs and Chelsea wages, but if it means being able to compete with Arse and Liverpool without having to wait for the stadium to be finished being paid off, then that could be a big step in cementing us as a top 4 team, and hopefully trophies.

the east stand was always going to be tricky and I expect are the ones hit with the biggest % increase, but as @davidmatzdorf mentioned for as long as ST have been involved in football, the east stand due to it's viewing and facilities have been paying a lot less than the West stand, so how was they meant to price it for that stand now? it will have the same views, the same facilities.

the only real error that I can see after reading all through this on pricing is definitely the kop, especially putting in the 1882 section if it effects the atmosphere.

there will be a lot of supporters that will be priced out of it next season, but this might also open the door for a lot of fans that gave up their ticket last season because of the Wembley move, that had been going for years but Wembley made it a no, no due to reasons that meant they wouldn't be able to attend enough to warrant it.

just a matter of asking how long have you had your season ticket for?

Edit: also another major cock up being the way they have selected the stages with long term ST holders being punished

The difference between a small increase and a big one really isn't worth *that* much to the club. Completely dwarfed by other revenue streams

It's worth an enormous amount to the supporters, however.

They're also backing themselves into a corner. Most expensive season tickets in world football = you'd better pay the top wages and buy the top players, or your 'customers' won't stick around very long.

Especially as lots of people who've stuck by the club during, for example, 10 consecutive seasons finishing outside the top 6, have sadly been priced out.

but it's the supporters that will moan the loudest if because of the prices it meant we wouldn't be able to compete on the wages front, so our better players decide to move on and we have to start all over again and most probably with a new manager

Yep. In their infinite wisdom they seem to have decided that fans form the following categories :

1)People who are so desperate to be in the stadium they’ll sit anywhere, even if it costs well over a grand.
2) people who want to stand to watch the football
3) children
4) disabled people
5)rich people

Apparently, those adult fans who can walk, are quite happy to sit down in the stadium, want a half decent view and aren’t minted are thin on the ground.

as a poor disabled person, the only thing I can think why they have a disabled section in the East is that they have done away with the section that used to be in the West Stand and keeping it within the prices they paid last season.

I know this has effected you big time, but the West Stand have been paying double what you have for many seasons, because they had a few better facilities, well those facilities weren't fucking brilliant, and that's coming from someone that had a season ticket in the east for a couple of seasons, and had to pay for tickets in the west stand to get to see us play

I paid £1,115 for my season ticket in the west lower in the last season at the lane. The equivalent seat in the new stadium is £1,250 so the increase isn’t too bad. Saying that I’m going to sit in a different place, but regardless, my ticket hasn’t gone up much.

It definitely is too expensive on the whole though.

Does anyone know if the spurs dug out will be in the left like the old lane? So block 105 directly behind it?
