New Stadium Details And Discussions

have you booked your taxi from the airport

Fuck that. Piccadilly Line. Piece of cake. Snooze your way to Finsbury Park.

Half the time and one tenth the cost.

the Spam game is a difficult 1 for me, 1 I hate them, 2, I might bump into @riggi and 3, it's my birthday that day, and if we didn't get a result I'll be in a bad enough mood let alone having to sit in the car park for an hour after

I don't hate them I see them as mildly annoying but as I grew up in Essex I know how much they hate us, I have already had a message from a hammer mate saying that they will be the first side to beat us in the new stadium because he reckon after playing city 3 times we will be fucked.

Nope...assume the Heathrow Express is still on line.

Still think Piccadilly Line is better, unless you're staying near Paddington.

the Hotspur+ only cost £5 more roughly 26p per game. the real benefit of the Hotspur+ is being on the waiting list

I'm not that bothered by it ultimately but they literally advertise it as Advanced Member Ticket Priority and Additional ticketing points (as well as Season Ticket waiting list placement). So it does feel a little bit like they're selling advertising it as something it's not really.

End of the day it's not that terrible or anything just feels a little bit of a shame and this whole process and communication could do with a bit more clarity I think.

gotta pay for tickets somehow, especially as I'll be paying 75p a day on my overdraft facility

DC has said that the wall behind disabled in middle of south stand will be painted navy blue. Which will help make it look like more uninterrupted single tier.

And all this angst around tickets reminds me of the hundreds of posts having a meltdown on ST prices. You were the lucky ones you sad sacks ???

I've yet to see it in person (going this weekend) however the walls for the disabled sections do kinda dampen my feelings towards the "single-tier". Makes it look more like two separate tiers. No offence to the wheelchair-bound fans, I'm not blaming you for anything

Talking about the disabled section has reminded me of that time Dejan Lovren performed a miracle a few years back....

With the safe standing part on the lower tier, any gap you can see when the stadium is empty you won't see anywhere near as much on matchdays. Those guys are going to be standing and it'll squeeze that white gap into barely a visible line. I also love that the club have given wheelchair fans a variety of places to watch the game. South stand, upper East it seems, the West stand Infront of the media areas, behind the goal I think it's a real classy move by the club to give the less fortunate the full experience like any other fan is able to receive. Fair play to them

I am. I spent a year studying at UCL and my grad dorm was just a block from Paddington so I always stay in that neighborhood.

It’s always been pretty clear that it was a thousand tickets released a day early for + members. It’s not a secret.

The issues with the system aren’t to do with that number, it’s that the queue system is completely random. If it is actually random they should just do a ballot rather than giving the sense of a queue which in fact means nothing.

Probably been asked before, but is anything open on non matchdays? If I went up this week during the week is the only thing open the megastore?

Excellent. Always one of my thoughts.

pretty much. even the park lane square is barriered off when the stadium's not open. No idea if that'll remain the case when all the workmen have gone. at some point the ticket office will be open too on non matchdays as well

Is the museum thing open yet?

Once they start stadium tours ,roof walk and open the museum more will be open but no date for that yet , could be this summer doubt very much if it will be before end of this season but you never know, sure to be announced on Spurs website when it all opens.. Plus those who purchased vouchers for stadium tours are bound to get an email when it will be open.

Looking at a few of the comments on here etc... it might not have been a secret but I wouldn't say it was pretty clear. Agree the queuing system is random and that's one of if not the main issue. Hopefully they make that clearer/can improve that. I do personally think having a 1 day window for 1000 tickets before opening 6000 more tickets the day after is a bit pointless but that's just personal opinion more than anything.
