Season Ticket Renewal Thread (Read first post)

[Tiberius Gracchus]

I can't have the vaccine, for medical reasons (I'm not anti-vax, to be clear).

Will be gutted if this means I can't use my season ticket. I appreciate it's unwise to attend, given the current the climate, but ethically speaking the medical risk is not the threat I pose to others, but the threat they pose to me (as an unvaccinated person). So surely I should be allowed to make that decision myself?

No details yet, but Boris has said there'll be medical exemptions to the policy

Depends just how much you ‘appreciate it’s unwise to attend’

France is bringing in similar health passport requirements in the next few days , looks like as is likely in the UK it will apply to sports venues, unfortunately governments have to bring in these laws which override personal liberty for the good of the majority .
I have already printed off my Covid pass from the NHS site just in case , it's pretty easy to get and has a QR code which I assume stadium technology at Spurs will be able to read, pretty sure there will be exemptions for valid medical reasons but not for those who refuse the vaccination because of the scare stories on the internet.

France will require people to use a 'health passport' to enter a restaurant or attraction this fall

French President Emmanuel Macron said the new policy requiring COVID-19 vaccines would start in August.

You will be ok, it’s only those who refuse vaccine.

I can't seem to find the ticket on sale date list anymore. Anyone know where it is?

Nothing published yet, they are probably still trying to fathom how the membership has shrunk by about 50,000 and have had trouble selling season tickets.

Bit of a strange question but I wasn’t sure where else to ask it and here is probably the most relevant place. I know we’ve all got tickets for the Man City game but is everyone going to go?

What with covid rates going up, vaccine passports and masks or no masks, I think there is a bit of a decision. Plus of course it is Man City (although winning our last two at home against them) is potentially a hard game to suffer in. Covid anxiety could be used as a good excuse to miss it. I must say I am in two minds and just wondered other’s thoughts on the fixture?

I will be attending having had both vaccinations , yes there is a risk the fatality rate of those who have caught the virus in UK is 2.3% so far , what the rate is if you have had both vaccinations I don't know if that has been published yet. Personally I won't be hanging around on the concourses and it will be straight out to my seat in the open air of the stadium , usual precautions hand gel etc. Being fairly local I will probably get the wife to drop me near the stadium and then get her to collect me after, I see public transport as being more of a risk , yet to hear a politician recommend people using their cars to travel safely during these times.

Can someone help ? How do you transfer ticket to someone else if you can’t go , can you let members in your network have them .?

I'm sorry I can't be of more use because I can't remember how it's done, but transferring in your network is fine. That way you can effectively share season tickets...

With all this digital nonsense its not certain that ticket share will be available for the coming season , the website still talks about printing out the ticket on A4 size paper for ticket share.
When they send out Season ticket passes with full information for the new season it might all become clear, as usual Spurs customer relations rock bottom.

That fatality rate just looks at deaths / confirmed cases. That doesn't account for the fact that a huge number of people in the UK who have had covid would never have been tested. Firstly those in the first wave before there was really a testing program so you would only actually be confirmed as having covid if you got admitted to hospital and then also the large number of asymptomatic cases from the very beginning and still occurring now (probably occurring even more now due to vaccinations).... For example, my whole 4 person household were found to have antibodies last year, 2 of of the 4 of us had never had any covid like symptoms at all, 1 family member was fine but had no taste for about 10 days, 1 of us was in bed for a couple of days feeling a rotten with flu like symptoms. However no testing was available.

Still even if the actual rate is 1%, with the large disparity in deaths for older and more vulnerable people compared to younger and healthier people, I'm not sure I would risk it just yet if I happened to be an unvaccinated member of the former group.

Everyone should make their own decision , it will be a risk for some but it will be a personal choice unfortunately businesses like football clubs are selling season tickets and giving no refunds if you are unable to attend.

 

[Saoirse]

To be honest, if you've had both jabs, then the risk to you personally of attending a game now is probably low than it is in a bad flu season.

I must admit I’ve got mixed feelings. On one hand I’m really excited to have become a season ticket holder & I can’t wait to get back into the stadium, but on the other hand I do have some concerns about COVID. I go with my mother, who is in her 60s. We’re both in the clinically vulnerable group, but we are both fully vaccinated now. Our journey involves a train into London & then taking the tube to Seven Sisters. As someone else has already said, I feel like the public transport could be more of a risk than the stadium, as you can take precautions in there and make sure you’re in the open air as much as possible. At this stage I’m still not sure what we’ll do. I’ll be interested to see what COVID protocols they put in place & how the figures look over the next few weeks. I guess we’ll just have to play it by ear.

I’ll be away for both the Watford and the Chelsea games. Someone wants my Watford ticket. What hoops will I have to jump through to make that happen?

Knowing our ticket office it’ll be painful, considering they haven’t even confirmed how those who struggle with apps or don’t have smart phones will be about to enter yet

Until they update the website nobody knows, website still talks about downloading tickets sold through Ticket Exchange onto the stadium card which is now defunct, whoever you give it to needs a degree in mobile phone technology , that's assuming they have a compatible phone.


PS. This bit on tickets has been updated , gives details of the new pass etc , and what to do, I am in the non-compatible phone camp so will be emailing the ticket office next Monday to find how I get into the Arsenal game. Had a quick look at other sports , racing for example at Newbury the other week to get in you needed a paper ticket and photo ID to prove who you were, that seems reasonable to me.

You will be exempt, don’t worry
