Am guessing the numbers are based on New WHL - think the press release seems to imply that if you get a Season Ticket for Wembley, you'll be able to get one for the new stadium...

To wait for the second window so we can join up with mates or not to is my quandary.
Can't imagine getting tickets in that second window will be fun or easy or anywhere decent.

No idea, because if they think they can sell another 40k GS tickets at those prices for anything other than the really big games then they're in for a shock. My guess though is that they will sell the GS tickets for cheap (even though that is basically unethical as it will effectively punish ST holders).
The only other thing I can think of is that they will close the top tier for the majority of the games unless there is huge demand. I sincerely hope this is what will happen (although I don't believe it will). At least then I and others who don't want to/can't commit to Wembley have a chance of reclaiming the face value of our tickets for a number of games.

The prices are similar to what is paid at WHL at the moment, so no real surprise for me. I think people may have got false hopes from the prices charged for the Champions League package and the Ghent game, but realistically I couldn't see the club offering cheap season tickets for one season only.
We have all been saying how we are going to compete financially when we get the new stadium, this couldn't happen by charging less for tickets and then getting the same revenue as we get now.
I have full sympathy for the current ST holders who do not want to go to Wembley and in my view a season long amnesty should have applied. I assume that decision along with the cap at 42K season tickets means they want all season ticket holders at Wembley to effectively transfer to the new stadium.
The one thing that would really annoy me is buying a season ticket for £700 upwards and then finding the club are offering individual match tickets for £10 in the upper tier. I cant see how they plan on selling the extra 30K tickets for category B/C games without offering some kind of incentives.

I'm going to play safe and take out the basic membership. Will then look to go to midweek games rather than weekend.

They were never going to offer more season tickets than we can cater for at the new ground, and an amnesty was never going to fly. Just in no way practical to let loads back out for a year, to then turn away people happy to pay this year.
I think it's clear from the whole thing, that the club are doing all of this with the new stadium clearly in view. The prices and season ticket numbers are being pitched for the new stadium. Rather than have cheap tickets this year, then people get upset next year when they go up a lot for the new ground, they've looked to find a balance. I can understand that.
The other thing to take into consideration is that it was Wembley and Brent Council who pushed for the 90,000 capacity at all games, not Spurs.
Would guess it looks like GA tickets being a minimum of £40 a game (with the exception of the upper tier), with I'd guess cheaper packages for the CL games, and cheap cup tickets seeing as they aren't included in the ST price.
I can completely see the argument for lowering ticket prices, but can understand what it looks like we're trying to do.

Why should Bronze members be forced to? Season ticket holders haven't had to spend hours sitting in queues on the awful ticketing system every time they want to go to a game - six hours trying to get a ticket for the Real game along with 100,000 others only to ultimately be told they all sold out in about 5 minutes wasn't much fun, neither was the five hours staring at the doughnut to buy the CL package this season only for the club to release more and 'better' tickets about a week later - whilst having to pay an extra £15 just for the privilege.
Nor have they had to take complete pot luck as to whether or not they can actually attend any games this season, as well as being the only supporters with a hope in hell of being able to go to an away game. Given the number of season tickets being flogged on StubHub every game I reckon I've been to more matches than a lot of season ticket holders since that partnership began.
It seems what will happen is that 18,000 bronze members will be 'offered' a Wembley season ticket, and anyone who cannot or does not wish to accept paying at least £36 per game (when there will no doubt be cheaper tickets available for most games) to travel to Wembley rather than White Hart Lane will be bumped down the queue.
During one of the THST meetings it was said that the ratio between season tickets / members tickets / away fans in the new stadium will be the same as there currently is at White Hart Lane which would work out at around 14,000 new season tickets being made available. What that would effectively mean is that anyone who doesn't take up the Wembley season ticket offer will lose their place on the waiting list and won't get one the following season.
I can imagine the club want to guarantee as much up front ticket revenue as they can but surely there would have been other ways around this - multi-game ticket packages, for example. What they've ended up doing is holding members at ransom. So much for loyalty. It's seemingly a one way street most of the time.

I wonder if the club have thought about season tickets for our new stadium. In theory if they carry over the same logic if you want to sit in our new single tiered stand you'd be transferred there if you sat in the East Stand at Wembley I think.

For years now you don't get league tickets on general sale. I reckon if season tickets and members don't take up all 90k then, rather than reduce ticket prices (pissing off STH) they'll just release them to the general public.
It'll be a great way to get new and old fans in the ground and fill the empty seats.
Also, regarding the 42k season ticket question - they mentioned they're also Selling multigame packages to bronze members. They'll be popular, I'm contemplating 2 or 3 packages already.

So many things wrong with that statement.
I've not been a member for the last 10 years, but this is the first season I've struggled to get anything via General Sale.
WBA towards end of last season - no problem at all.
Even this season around Xmas fixtures (Swansea/Burnley) there were tickets on GS.

Does anyone know if our agreement with StubHub covers next season as well?
The reason i ask is because they don't mention them by name in the statement.
I think its StubHubs T&Cs that specify that tickets can only be listed if the game is sold out, so maybe the club are looking at a different option for next year?
Part of me thinks that there was always going to be an increase at some point, mines been frozen for a few years now so I'm not completely surprised, the club are obviously aware that any increase is going to be criticised, so maybe they thought now was a good time as any to put the price up... its probably a lot easier to put them up now whilst everyone is happy and buzzing about Spurs, than run the risk of doing it next year, when lets face it...no one knows what effect playing at Wembley will have on results.

They cant do that. At the start of each season they price each game based on a category, A, B, C etc...
If they say Burnley are Cat C.. where the prices cost "x"... they cant then start lowering the price as the game approaches if they haven't sold it out.

I think what will probably happen is that there will be cheap GA tickets in the upper tier, and no ST available up there.

Hence why season ticket holders are being taken for a ride. It seems the more loyal you are the more you get shafted.

Different definitions of "general sale". Matt doesn't count it as general sale unless some dodgy bloke in a car park has them for sale

Has always been the case, those that stick by the club come hell or high water have always been used. Emotional blackmail!!
Mind you you'd have to pay me to sit in the upper tier at that monstrous bowl. More atmosphere on the telly....
