So for someone who doesn't get to go to many games because I live oop north, when do we think tickets will go on sale? I want to take my boys to Huddersfield away

I'm not certain for sure, but I think you would still need to be at least a member and have sufficient points to be able to get tickets. With it being a stadium no one has visited before to watch a Spurs team, people will make an effort to go.

Unless the match is moved to a Monday night with no trains or something silly you'll need to be a season ticket holder with three gazillion loyalty points to get an away ticket.

In recent seasons only a few of the longer trips have gone beyond ST holders (understandable as we've been winning) when previously some of them even went on general sale. As a member I've managed to get tickets to away games at:

2014/15: Sunderland, West Brom, Burnley
2015/16: Leicester (early season fixture when nobody thought we were finishing 1st and 3rd!)
2016/17: Stoke, Middlesbrough

Usually any northern trips in late August and through September go to members, presumably because many fans are away on holiday either when the applications are open or for the game itself. Huddersfield might go beyond ST holders in the same way as Boro did last season (also at end of September) but as Lighty said, its a new ground for a lot of fans so demand might be higher than normal (although Burnley in 2014/15 wasn't that popular and they had only been in the EPL once before). Newcastle being the opening weekend means demand for that will be through the roof, but Everton in mid-September might have a chance of going beyond ST holders.

The Supporters Trust usually publish a handy table of the Loyalty Point cut off for each away game in the previous season, but as soon as we start winning regularly away tickets become like gold dust.

Remember that we are now going to have an extra 18,000 season ticket holders. Given that, I don't expect a single league away match to have any members availability for as long as the team is at least competing for a top 4 place.

we might have an extra 18k season ticket holders, but if my memory serves me right, you have to apply to become an away season ticket holder

Yeah but all ST holders immediately jump ahead of members in the queue for away tickets. So it's even less likely that away games go beyond ST holders.

This is my concern. I've always been able to get the North West away games from General sale, except the Top 6 teams obviously, so I always used to go to Bolton, Blackburn, Wigan and Now Burnley. But Huddersfield is new territory for Spurs fans, so fingers crossed then.

I am trying so desperately to bring my young boys up as Spurs fans against the backlash of my ex wife being Liverpool, then you have City and we only live 10 mins from the Etihad, so the more Spurs games I can get them to the better for them in the long run!

I tried to remember the last time Spurs were drawn at home for the first game of a season and it would appear to be the 2011/12 when we played Everton (Sat August 13th).....six years of playing away first match.....seems a little unfair.

A gentle giant mate of mine at Uni, a Chelsea fan called Richard, went up there for a game. Never came back. Beaten to death with a pool cue. Would never go myself and only ever wish that club and their followers no fortune except bad.
