Levy has been clever with the Wembley pricing, There were 85,000 for Juventus and 68,000 for Huddersfield last Saturday!! I paid £30 (on top of my annual ST price, had a chance to off load my ST) and bought 2 more tickets for over 65's at £12.50 each. This type of policy has attracted a lot of new fans and families to supporting Spurs - the success on the pitch and players like Harry Kane, Son Eriksen and Dele Alli have also helped of course, and no-one seems to mind the 30-45minute queues for trains afterwards.Season ticket prices announced monday,have the feeling a huge meltdown is about to occur.Wonder when members ticket prices will be announced?i dont expect to be pleasantly suprised by either pricing.
Times article on such.Levy has been clever with the Wembley pricing, There were 85,000 for Juventus and 68,000 for Huddersfield last Saturday!!

The net result of course is 'catch 'em while they're young and you've got them for life'. Now that's happened and with a reduced capacity of 62,000, he can put the prices up a bit. I hope he recognises the continued support and implements a fair pricing policy, that keeps the stadium full, we'll see. The £10 + £5 for kids FA cup replay pricing was a great example of this.
Thank you, great article. Time will tell. it's a difficult balancing job. I'd love to know how much there is in the war chest and whether it will get spent on the team or the stadium. The team would be my priority since if we get success there the Stadium will take care of itself. Attendances at Wembley have proved that.Times article on such.

I get miffed by the thought that as the older fans die off, will they be replaced by younger fans? How will people on low incomes be able to go to a match, and young folks these days are having the bollocks squeezed off of them financially. Even those with decent jobs are being exploited by the new breed of landlords who probably bought a house when normal people could afford them and have seen an obscene rise in value, so they bought another one, and another one - and they get their mortgages paid by tenants who then become trapped because they are paying so much rent that they can't possibly save for a deposit on a house of their own - or buy tickets for football matches or food.Times article on such.

agree,the prices will ride on the crest of the wave,and once charged I doubt they will be lowered.I suspect it will be around £80 for the west&east stands for Cat A matches.Cos levy will judge people or enough will pay it.I'd love it to happen... it wont though.
You lot will get squeezed for every penny you can afford and at some point you won't be able to afford it and some other cunt will...
Let's hope they learn a few songs otherwise it will be the library Pt2/3.
Old Trafford racks and stacks them, think the dippers do the same... gate reciepts are a small part of it imo... huge fanbases buy merch which has such a huge mark up it's more economical than the actual footy.

Football without the passion of the real supporters? That would be like apple crumble without custard.
Hopefully Spurs will do the right thing and make sure that the New Lane doesn't become a tourist attraction or a corporate jolly place. Maybe Levy should start recording the fans now so he can play the chants back on the new state of the art sound system, I know some he probably won't record.
They've got this wrong, it's taking the piss, greedy fuckers - same policy as Arsenal, but back then they didn't have the TV money that they do now. Stadium selling rights will knock £300-400m off the price, in 2-3 years time Levy/lewis will be able to sell the club for a billion. I'm not saying they haven't done wonders - they have, but we're gouing to end up paying their hyper profit on sale. They should have increased by no more than inflation at worse.Firstly I agree and secondly do you think Levy gives a flying fuck that I used to have a season ticket but can only afford to go to FA Cup "special deal' tickets games now?
I'll have the ST for 1 year and see how it goes.... You can use it when I don't - just shout.Looks like Levy will finally get rid of the oiks with pricing like that. Very disappointing not that I really expected anything different. Mind you I can't afford to go anyway so what am I griping on about! Feel sorry for you poor sods who are committed though, prices never go down so this is just the beginning IMO

I done some Googling. The cheapest season ticket price at Real Madrid is £177, that's reasonable for the supposedly best team in Europe. Barcelona is even cheaper, £103, Bayern £110.
Premier League clubs get £5.1bn from the telly, at least £90m per club., even if they get relegated, top clubs like us get at least £140m. In Spain and Germany they get £3bn, so UK top clubs get 66% more than the places where the tickets are cheap.
4.5 times the price of a Real Madrid season ticket Mr Levy? Nearly 8 times the price of a Barcelona ticket? Oh yeah you've got a stadium to pay for because you won't have made a massive property portfolio profit will you, and you are providing the longest bar, OK, seems fair.
So my basic math says;
42,000 STHs
8,000 premium seats
3,000 away fans (PL more in cups)
leaving 9,000 for general sale but then take off comp tickets for hanger ons,family of players staff etc,thomas cook packages with hotels and probably sub 8,000 is what members are looking at.Comparable with WHL before the paxton demo and balloting for tickets.
ha ha 'demo' short for 'demolition'........these fucking musicians eh? hopeless at writing.What was the Paxton demo, did I miss something? Fell out of love with it all for a year and a bit circa 2001 so spill the beans please.
Oh lazy bastad @skiathospurs I was like oh holy shit the fans went full pikey - even more than the 'We want our Tottenham back' Sugar years! But no...ha ha 'demo' short for 'demolition'........these fucking musicians eh? hopeless at writing.
no one seems particularly happy,except gooners because they reckon we are now the most expensive club in europe.Oh lazy bastad @skiathospurs I was like oh holy shit the fans went full pikey - even more than the 'We want our Tottenham back' Sugar years! But no...
The guys on SC don't seem that impressed with the ticketing situation!
