Seriously tho. Would you shell out over a ton a game?

Hell no.

I stopped going to matches a while ago, and I know that prices are higher than these but I really don't think I'd pay more than £600 for a season ticket or £35 for a single game.

To be fair you could have gone to every home league game this season for £530 and I believe they eventually offered a very small number of season tickets at that price.

The best I'm hoping for is a freeze next season though, which would mean at least some sub-£700 season tickets behind the goal.

Not a prayer they’ll be any ST for £700

I reckon around £1000 is what we’ll be looking at

When it gets to about £1400 that’ll be my lot. Paying £70 a ticket would be a joke imo

Going to the Tottingham Stadium every other week was and never will be like going to the Theatre or Opera so no thanks

I don't think it will be that much, honestly. For a lot of games this season they only got just over the capacity of NWHL. Put it up much higher and we'll have empty seats, which are not only lost revenue but also off-putting to corporates and commercials.

If I had to guess I'd say they'll try a slightly above inflation rise of ~5% and obviously not have the very cheap seats miles high up like we do at Wembley, putting the cheapest season ticket at £730. If he actually put it up to £1000 behind the goals and more than that elsewhere my money would be on a fan-run club starting up in the lower leagues, "AFC Totttenham" or whatever.

Have some class mate. If Mason could have played on with something similar we'd have been delighted. You can't mock him for wearing protective gear after a skull fracture.

Yeah, you're right. I'm sure we will all politely applaud him when he comes to the new White Hart Lane.

This is quite big news? So we dont need a naming rights partner for the stadium to open. There's not much rush then by the sounds of things.

MG asked for an update on naming rights. Many had been expecting an announcement now the stadium was progressing.
DL explained that the stadium financing was not conditional on selling naming rights. THFC are in discussions but they will only contract when they are satisfied with the price, the tenure and the counterparty.
DMC assured that the number required for commercials was in the business plan and the stadium financing meant it was not an essential for the stadium to open
Until such a time that a partner is found, the stadium will be referred to as Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Looks like classic Levy.

Strengthening our position by saying that we don't need the money.

Will probably sell the naming rights 23:59 the night before stadium opens.

Can't really remember Cech ever being singled out for abuse to be honest? Let's face it he was never going to stand out as a nasty character in a Chelsea team featuring the likes of John Terry.

Cech was always one of only a handful of players in that team that I didn’t mind. Always came across as a very humble, respectful guy.

Nothing like a good old East Stand v West Stand row where those who sit in the West stand receive thinly veiled insinuation that they aren't as worthy supporters or don't make as much sacrifice to attend or just plain don't care as much.

Everyone who has loyally attended for a long time, decades in some cases, and made the decision each year to commit both to the increasing financial and lifestyle sacrifices necessary to avidly follow Spurs live deserves equal treatment from the club when looking at next season's seating and associated pricing.

Just to add, I'm a West Stand fan season ticket holder, have been since I was a child (I'm in my thirties now) and the tickets have been in our family since before I was born, I now live closer to Southampton than I do to London, I don't sing much and I don't even know the words to half our chants. However, I do stay to the end of even our most packed midweek matches knowing that I'll be caught in the dreaded Wembley Park queues outside and won't get home till almost 2am (train from Waterloo to Basingstoke, then drive 20 odd miles), and that return train trip costs me more than a weekly food shop does in my and my missus house. Sorry if being a West Stand fan invalidates the rest of that and means I don't care as much as the more atmospheric sections of the crowd, I didn't realise my support wasn't worth as much.

5. Fan migration and GA ticketing for the new ground
5.1 KL asked for clarification of the plans for moving Season Ticket holders back into the new stadium.
IM commented that another lesson learned from Wembley was that the ‘lift and drop’ of blocks wasn’t the way forward. Pre-empting where people would want to sit last summer had resulted in untold issues with 1,001 permutations.
It would not be a ‘lift and drop’ of blocks moving back into the new ground.

5.2 IM explained the system which THFC feel is the fairest and most robust way to move fans into the new ground and this would be agreed with the Trust ahead of communicating ST sales shortly. ACTION: IM to agree migration plans with THST

This is where the club has to play it quite carefully. Obviously most people will want to get their season ticket in the south stand because that's where most of the atmosphere will be and they want to sing and contribute in that way. But a lot of people will want to get their tickets there for the novelty.

The stadium has supposedly been designed with maintaining and encouraging the atmosphere and this cannot be undermined by season ticket migration policy. There was already a load of the siddaaahhn brigade from other parts of White Hart Lane in the designated 'home end' blocks at Wembley ruining the atmosphere and there's only really once chance to get it right in the new stadium.

Obviously there will be plenty of room in the south stand, but priority should be given to Park Lane season ticket holders from previous seasons, and members who are now season ticket holders who regularly sat/stood in the Park Lane. Sure some people won't like that, but if it means we create an even better atmosphere than WHL was at its best then it's totally worth it.

Apology accepted, you seem to have learned your lesson.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, I'm here all week.

I fall into this category. I have been going to WHL since 1951 and have always stood/sat in the East Stand and have had a season ticket in East Stand upper for over 10 years. At WHL the senior/family concessions only applied in the North Stand whereas this season the concession applied throughout Wembley. If the age concession does not apply in the East Stand, in the new stadium, then I doubt if I will be able to afford a season ticket. I do not like to watch matches from behind the goal.

In all the 1000+ times I have been to WHL over the years, I have only twice not stood/sat in the East Stand. I stood in the South Stand for the FA Cup replay against Crewe (13-2) and the European Cup match against Gornik (8-1).

I gave you a winner not because of the post but you are a legend. Crewe and Gornik - that is amazing dude!

How much would a season or matchday ticket have to be before we all said bollocks to this, I'm going to spend some quality time with my wife, husband, partner, etc (sage nod to pc fundamentalist mods on this site. ie. A&C, the ISIS of pc adherence). For me, we're already pretty close.

What does the wife look like? Some blokes on here probably prefer to shag Harry Kane then her indoors, apropos quality time.

Hopefully the wife, who is a good sort BTW, doesn’t read this.

I'm regularly informed that I am batting well above my average. Often in front of her. I just laugh and tell her not to get above herself or she'll be on the first plane back to Moscow. We all met our wives on Russian singles right? Right? Right?

Taken from the minutes THFC/TST:
3.9 As regards renaming White Hart Lane station, DMC confirmed that the Club was in discussions with TFL, and that the actual station would be moved off White Hart Lane.

Daniel Levy yesterday: for a temporary basis, the new ground will be known as the “Tottenham Hotspur Stadium”.

Despite us fans continuing to refer to the new ground as 'White Hart Lane' or 'New White Hart Lane', I get the impression that with the probable re-naming of the overground station and with the named sponsorship of the stadium, it looks like the term 'White Hart Lane' is definitely in the past as far as the board goes, buried along with all those memories of the 'old place'.
