Stadium Funding, founder Seat Scheme

[mkkid]

From Justspurs on COYS (who was at WHL last night for the meeting)

Ok basically they are looking at 10 to 15 year tickets prepaid upfront to include all games in league, cup etc; with access to lounges and VIP perks depending on the type of ticket. There are likely to be 3 different types of Founder Tickets (think economy, business and first class on a plane):

1. Founder Season Tickets - effectively normal tickets in any part of the ground.
2. Executive Founder Seats - these would be premium seats attached to a a lounge and hospitality ie equivalent of Legends etc;
3. Platinum Founder Seat - the best seat in the ground with exclusive facilities and VIP access to players etc; A limit of 200 was mentioned.

The numbers in each tier would be capped. No numbers were mentioned but unlikely to exceed 2,000 to 3,000 in total. No prices were mentioned and no figures were given as to how much they are looking to raise. They would look to start selling the packages as soon as planning permission is granted and would expect a deposit to be paid up front ie; 2 years at least before stadium opens.

The Naming Rights deal is absolutely fundamental to the success of the stadium.

The 2012/13 date for the stadium is dependent upon obtaining planning permission by April and funding in place over the summer.

Also the phones have been ringing off the hook since they announced the single tier stand with people wanting to reserve those seats in the new stadium.

All good news!
By the way, where will the single tier stand be in relation to the current stadium, and I wonder what it will be called in years to come - it is gonna need a snazzy name, like the Cop, Shed etc. I was thinking "Yids" , so people would say where are you sitting and you would say, I am in with the Yids - But not PC and would never fly, officially anyway!

As long as it doesnt turn into the prawn brigade and they are in there seats at the start of the 2nd half (unlike Wembley) i think its a good idea!!

Naming rights will be massive, THFC need it to fund the stadium and no doubt we will not be wanting a shit name on our ground!

The single-tier is the Park Lane end - the one that will be built after we've moved into the stadium. All in the stadium discussion thread.

 

[nightgoat]

Yeah, the single tier will be the South stand, so provided the people who sit there at WHL end up there in the new stadium, there's no reason they can't go on being the Park Lane Tottenham...

 

[Marty]

Surely the single-tier stand will be the new Paxton?

South on new ground = North on old ground, no?

Or have I missed something?

You have missed something. LOL.

 

[Marty]

Could you expand on that? Admittedly I haven't paid much attention to the project recently but I swear the graph I saw had the new ground being built "around" Paxton, with Paxton being demolished and the new single-tier stand being built where old Paxton is during our first season at the new ground.

So what is wrong there?

The world hasn't turned on it's axis.

South Stand built where the North Stand currently is, North Stand built on a new bit of land, South Stand is still south, North Stand is still north. :shrug:

I like that. Better than the Old Bill.

I think what he means is that while of course South remains to the South that in terms of location the current spot on the ground where the Paxton stand is will be in the future where our South Stand is.

Is that right, Marty?

Basically, the question is: Will the spot on the ground that remains part of White Hart Lane be the Paxton or the Park Lane? The other three sides would all be 'new'.

If Tickers is right, which sounds like it, then problem solved.


And, for what it's worth, I like the name 'The Wall'.

 

[Tickers]

Bring on the Wall!

I think I can see what Marty's saying - and I alluded to it in my post by saying it's the stand that'll be built after we move into our plush new home.

The Wall (we'll make that stick) will be the south stand of the new ground but will be built on the site of the old north stand.

Lets put it another way, the entrance to the new Single Tier Stand (hereafter know as the STS!) will be on what road?

 

[Winchy85]

Well, the entrance will be where the pitch currently is I assume so maybe a new road being built?

So it will hardly be called the Park Lane then! However if it has a new road then the door is wide open to call it anything, new road, new name, new stand name! Bobby Buckle Boulevard :rofl:

 

[chrissivad]

I dont think there is a new road, just public space around the stadium

Shit, there goes the Billy Buckle Stand then :roll:

 

[Tickers]

We're the Public Space, we're the Public Space, we're the Public Space Tottenham!

Yeah, there will be no road. Park Lane will still be the road at that end of the ground, but it will obviously be pretty much the length of the current ground away from the new one.

Yes, thank you for clarifying my mindless babble.
