Yes I’m a season ticket holder and it wouldn’t bother me if I was moved one or two seats if it meant other people could fit in.

The club have heard our cries and made changes.
There now appear to be additional premium 1882 season tickets available in Blocks 529 and 502.
That follows from the successful sale of approximately seven such £2,200 seats today.
Seriously, who the fuck is actually in charge of this?

Another example that you don't need away fans , R Madrid V Barcelona games there are only about 500 away fans at those matches , they are tucked away on the top tier, that's the allocation and there is no lack of atmosphere , those games are far bigger than anything the Premier League has to offer, away fans are not needed.

The same numpties presumably who are unable to keep data of ST holders before 2006.
Still pissed off I’m in Phase 3. Heard on the radio of one ST holder of 63 years who’s also in Phase 3!
Plus every time I look at the huge expanse of East stand given over to corporates it just saddens and angers me at the same time.

Don’t know about Phase 2, but Phase 3 begins next Monday. So I presume Phase 2 will be some time later this week.

Which is the biggest game of the season. Most matches are not El Classico. Having 3,000 away fans from Midtable FC makes it significantly more like home fans at Spurs or Man Utd will chant back in response. And those matches are obviously far more common. Their lack of away fans, alongside poor competition between teams and loads of empty seats, is part of the reason why the Premier League gets 60% more TV revenue than La Liga.
The cost of capping away tickets is so small it's just a very easy investment decision. It's about £30,000 per match or £570,000 over the course of the season. Meanwhile a 1% fall in the value of TV rights would cost every team £855,500. Nobody sensible is going to risk making the game less attractive to TV viewers for such a tiny gain.

Definitely annoying. But I wouldn't worry too much. So, so many phase 1 people aren't buying yet for whatever reason, I'd be surprised if you didn't still have the choice of literally every block in the stadium in phase 3.

It's going to be another Wembley situation where the TV cameras pick up the massive empty corporate section bang in the middle of the East lower

Maybe. Quite a bit of the East/West Lower have gone already.

I still don’t see the need for it. We already have the middle bands of the East/West, plus the tunnel club and the Sky Lounges.

"27,500 seats are priced at £1,125 or less in the new stadium - of which 23,000 are priced £995 or less - more seats than the total number of season ticket holders we had at White Hart Lane."
I like this comment. They're saying, "Will everyone just chill the f**k out...we're only rinsing new ST holders".

If there were 1882 of the 1882 seats at £1882 each, I would buy one. Otherwise I can't see what's so special about them.

I think they’re referencing concession seats though. Pretty sure they’re not all adult seats.

They are mainly adult seats but obviously someone qualifying for a concession can buy one. It’s only the family blocks where there has to be a junior with an adult, and they quoted 2500 seats in those blocks (family)
That's exactly what the o2 is like in the top tier. I bought tickets to a gig there for my wife and had the front row aisle seats and watched it through a fucking plastic sheet which looked like it had been knocked a fair few times, scratched and the view wasn't exactly clear through it. First and last time in the upper tier of there.

After actually looking to see how much more the increase is than my old ticket I’m personally a lot more relaxed about prices (my equivalent seat has only gone up 85 quid, which I think is fair).
I can see why new season ticket holders are annoyed at the prices but if you were offered a season ticket in say the west lower (where I sat at WHL) for £1,150 two years ago would you have taken it?
If the answer is yes then I don’t see the problem, but if the answer is no you wouldn’t have took it, but remained on the waiting list, then just do that at the new stadium. The principle is the same, it’s just at Wembley you got a good deal for a year, but we knew last summer that was going to be the case.
