Cup final tickets - shambolic joke as always

[vicbob]

Bet the Chav's have spare tickets, probably a bit beneath them just to go all that way for a league cup final. IIRC, they didn't sell all their allocation for the FA semi a while back, the total!

 

[jambreck]

I would be interested to see how many % of the STH actually bought a ticket.

I'd guess that fewer than 500 will have failed to apply for their allocation. Even those who can't make the game, for whatever reason, will surely have got tickets for their family or friends.

If Chelsea stuff us in the final those with tickets will be wishing the cut off had been a bit higher.
Not that I'm bitter, mind (6 points shy)

ironically Ive just been offered a ticket. A friend of a friend works for Spurs. As he is there working for an agency he can only have 2 tickets. all other staff get 4 tickets.

Even the bulk load who dont support Spurs have applied for their 2 or 4 to then sell on

Great work THFC. Great work!

Sickening.

Edit; not you ryan, the non-Spurs lot.

Thats totally wrong, not everyone employed by the club is a Tottenham fan, its a disgrace !

Hope you go and have a great time ryan. I'll be in a house full of my own kids, half Spurs, half Chelsea. Whichever way it goes, I can't see my new HD TV surviving it........

I'm not sure why people are getting their knickers in a twist that the club is giving tickets to staff and family members.

Because the staff & their families havent paid a bean to get there.

Why should a friend (if not then a purchaser on the black market) of an employee get priority over the paying members like myself?

Which ever way you dress it up, 4 tickets to members of staff is ludicrous.

The one offering me a ticket (at way above face value) works for an agency as security at the training ground. And he is a West Ham fan

Off topic nicdic, but are you a big Tim Sherwood fan? Just noticed you're a big AV believer........?

 

[Borks]

Employees should get 1 ticket each, the same as how members can apply for 1 ticket each.

 

[yankspurs]

Maybe the club shouldnt have given so much to corporate. But stop bitching at club staff and players for getting tix for themselves and family. Come on now. Bang out of order, IMO.

Also, why the fuck you wanna drop ~£100 per ticket for anyway? More than likely, your view is gonna be kinda shitty and lets be honest with ourselves, it's likely to be a loss. Better off watching it at a pub or at home. Look at the bright side, you save alot of money, get a better view of the game and can still get wasted by not going.....yes, yankspurs is telling people not to be so down and angry. Irony at its finest.

Agree with this. Also, with a stadium as high-tech as Wembley there's no reason tickets given to employees can't be set-up to prevent anyone else using them (so employees have no incentive to take tickets they won't use as they can't sell them on).

Ultimately, the club hasn't done anything shocking imo, but they do appear to have been somewhere half-assed in terms of ensuring transparency over who tickets have been allocated to.

I'm sure if the club found out people were selling on their tickets they'd get sacked, but I have no problem with staff getting tickets. They are part of the club, players families should get tickets too. I see no problem with this.

I was thinking this just now as well. Where all tickets are allocated to a member/ST/employee, the name should be printed and you should only be able to get in with ID. Would stop the sale of tickets on the black market and if people can't go or don't want them, it goes to fans next down the LP list.

Look at the thread where a guy's brother has just started at Spurs and he got 2 or 4 tickets or whatever it was. It should be done on how long you've been there if anything.

Eh?

How on earth would you be better off watching the game in a pub or at home rather than being there and experiencing your side playing in a cup final at Wembley, potentially lifting a trophy? There's not many better days in football than your team playing in a cup final

I haven't got a ticket and am gutted I can't be there

A) There is little to no chance we beat Chelsea twice this season. We are not lifting the trophy.
B) You save a ton of money.
C) Go to the next game where you'll see the trophy being paraded around if we win(moot point though since we likely wont)

Let me put it in perspective for you. American football's pinnacle is the Super Bowl. 80k tix are available for it. The regular fan does not get a ticket. The ticket is so expensive and goes so quickly, it's worthless. Only people that go are celebs, rich folks and players families. Fans watch from home. At least some fans go in England.

Look at the thread where a guy's brother has just started at Spurs and he got 2 or 4 tickets or whatever it was. It should be done on how long you've been there if anything.

Amount of tix should be based on seniority. Club employees should get tix, IMO. If you just started, not sure you should get 2-4 tix, though.

Never thought I'd see the day when a Spurs fan doesn't want to go to Wembley in a cup final so he could save some money
