Can we sell out 60,000?

[Spurs in Belgium]

Just been on the official site and see that there are tickets still available for our first 3 home games. Think we may struggle to sell out a 60,000 capacity! Really surprised given how many are supposedly on the season ticket waiting list.

If we price tickets accordingly in line with whichever economic fuckdown is going on when we move into to the new stadium I'm sure we'll be fine.

The opponents are not really that attractive to warrant buying tickets so early. I'm sure that come match days we'll be 95% full.

No chance, it's a massive step up from 36,000. However do we need to sell out every game to make it pay? I wouldn't have thought so. I am not a fan of Levy but one thing is sure, he keeps a strict eye on financials. I would expect they have a clear idea of how many fans they need to make the new ground pay for itself, and they believe they can achieve it.

The big benefit of the new stadium will be the extra capacity for the bigger games. I don't expect any price reductions to help fill the stadium either. I would expect price increases.

We have more chance than West Ham!!

The new capacity will be 56,000 and these early games always have a few spare tickets as people are away on holiday.
A new striker would probably help sales.

Wellspurs is spot on re: holidays. I reckon we can anticipate more neutrals too, Spurs games not currently marketed to tourist/leisure market, no capacity to allocate currently.

This, this, this and this. I am lucky enough to be able to afford most home games and some away but a lot of my mates can't.

West "advertise tickets continually on Talksport, put full pages in the Metro and get regular open-letter editorials in the Standard about what a wonderful family club we are" Ham reach new heights are desperation for support. The thought of them in an echoy Olympic Stadium fills me with glee
