I’m going to be in phase 8, what are the chances of tickets in the south stand still being available?

At £2,200 they are yours!

 

[thebenjamin]

£2,200 for the seats in the middle of the 'vocal' home end

What absolute bollocks they've been spouting about caring about the atmosphere

I reckon very good

I was kind of hoping for one around half the price of those

 

[neilp]

It would be interesting to know the numbers eligible in each of the phases

The email doesn't tell you about all the phases as far as I can see - just the one you're in. I'm in Phase 5 which opens on Thursday 5th April at 10:00.

Oh yeah I completely get why they have done it, just letting out my own frustration.

I am a little miffed with £2,200 1882 club in the south stand though. They can go on about the potential atmosphere all they like but a prawn sandwich section cutting right through the middle of the south stand is going to work wonders isn't it? I can just see the same at Dortmund or Anfield.

It’s quite dismissive to assume someone on a good salary would have less passion for the club.

It's true though. There's nary a stadium in the world where the people choosing the expensive seats are the ones making the noise. They might be passionate in different ways, but they don't create an atmosphere. Your occasionally politically incorrect bloke from a working class family, who's been raised a Spurs fan by his dad, drunk several pints of lager before the game, and has some rude things to say about Sol Campbell is the one who creates the atmosphere.

Where you thinking of going Dougal?

Phase 7 starts April 16

Having just received confirmation via email that I will be in phase 8, I have discovered that I will now have a 24 hour window to confirm my season ticket. Not sure how I am supposed to do this while on business in China. I have no problem with being in Phase 8 and having last pick given that I have only been a season ticket holder for a year, but this comes across as being pretty shoddy and thoughtless from the club to be honest.

But I don’t really see 1882 package as corporate. It basically offers someone bit of both. I think it would attract a different supporter than a straight out corporate package.

True, but look at any premium option at every stadium in the uk. They are never where the atmosphere is. WHL was the same. And correct me if I am wrong but their private bar is in another part of the stadium, which will only create empty seats after halftime.

 

[spursfast]

How many sales phases are there?

8

at £2,200 per ticket for access to a special bar, it is by nature going to be people who aren't bothered about being in their seat when the game starts.

The more I look at it, the more obvious it is they've completely fucked this up. They've got this 1882 Club - ie corporate, right across the middle of the 'iconic' south stand. So our intimidating home end will be half empty while people are in the bar, and otherwise populated by prawn sandwiches.

Really sad that they went on so much about building a stadium for fans and atmosphere whereas in reality it's only about how much they can drive the working class fan out of the game and make the regular going rate approaching £100 a game.

Bear in mind there will no doubt be a price hike every season.

They also go on about the “shelf experience”, but on closer inspection they’ve basically murdered the East Lower and Shelf side.

If you include the away fans which now actually take a couple of blocks of the East Lower North side, plus the corporate in the whole middle section and middle of lower tier there are now only 3 blocks in the whole middle/Lower east available for average Spurs fans. In fact there are now more corporate in the East than the West Stand. That’s even before you get on to the huge price hikes there. Very disappointed.

So, apart from the overall pricing, the limited amount of tickets available at the lower prices, the overly complicated different sales phases, splitting up groups of long term season ticket holders, putting a semi corporate smack bang in the middle of the supposed atmospheric South Stand, seemingly ignoring the feedback of supporters/supporter groups, it's been handled pretty well

Fucking muppets. Bet they paid a fortune for some consultancy group to come up with all of this.

Thread title edited. Use this thread for all season ticket related stuff rather than the stadium thread

In a way it's sometimes better that these things are complete rather than partial disasters. The complete disasters at least have a chance of leaving enough seriously pissed off people to make a difference.
