Tickets for next season at Wembley

[stevenurse]

Has anything been mentioned about the ticketing for next season and more importantly the prices?

Living it the Midlands it is a nightmare to get to games and that's without the cost and availability of tickets, but getting to Wembley is pretty OK and you'd like to think tickets would be cheaper and obviously far more abundant. If I could get a single season ticket I'd be well up for it.

Have the THST met with the club to discuss the matters arising from Wembley next season yet?

I would imagine nothing will be released until we've fully confirmed we'll be playing there next season.

 

[Hoops]

Considering we have 24,000 season tickets at WHL. How many do you guys think we will get next year? 60,000?

I wonder if we will go with CL style pricing of say 500 quid each instead of the usual 800

I very much doubt they will go more than what will be on offer for the new stadium

I'd say it's almost certain there will be 40,000 season tickets. The only thing that *could* happen is a two tier system, where they first fill up the season ticket allocation which will be carried over then offer a different (possibly cheaper by £50 or something) 1 year limited season ticket with no promise of a ST at new WHL for a further 10-20k people which would help to ensure more seats are sold throughout the season. The downside there is people are more inclined to not turn up for individual games when they have an ST than when they have specifically bought a ticket for said game so could mean more, rather than less empty seats.

It's going to be very interesting due to the option to use full capacity. In order to sell 90k tickets to every match, there are going to need to be seats available for five or ten pounds. I will feel incredibly resentful if my ST renewal is still £865 (current WHL price) - although I'll still have to pay it!

 

[nightgoat]

Whatever they do I hope it has no effect on season ticketing and the waiting list for the following season. Effectively have an amnesty on season tickets but offer a big variety of multi-game ticket packages.

I don't think there should be an amnesty. Wembley is still in London and whilst I can understand the difficulties it could cause many of the current ST holders I don't see why they should be able to bypass a season. I had a season ticket for18 seasons from 1997, couldn't renew in time in the summer of '15 for personal reasons - missed by days - and now i am 30,000 plus on the waiting list. It's a harsh world.

 

[DIEHARD]

I don't think there will be and should be an amnesty, it would be good of the club reduces season tickets somewhat say but 20% for a season. Then again it is a business and doubt it makes any business sense as we would buy them regardless of whether 650 or 900​

Completely disagree and an amnesty should definitely be offered.
Wembley is a fucking arse to get to and from, involves a hell of a lot more walking, and offers much less in the way of parking imo.
Think of anyone over the age of 50 (which a good chunk of our fans are), not really fair on them imo.
This isn't once or twice, we're talking 20-30 games here.

 

[ralphs bald spot]

Of course there should be an amnesty Wembley is a pisser to get to from North London and beyond - midweek games become a real pain in the arse meaning leaving work early for many and getting back at ridiculous o'clock and frankly given the way fixtures change seemingly on a weekly basis its going to be impossible to plan anything - Season Ticket Holders basically deserve the option, though most will probably end up going anyway .

The prices are going to be very interesting - people always talk about the seemingly long list for tickets the truth is that when it comes to laying out the best part of a grand up front that isn't easy for a lot of people and the one thing that would be nice is that prices might go down but I am not holding my breath

Meanwhile we are stuck with bloody wembley with it's shit atmosphere and tourist football with people getting up an down every five minutes to get their hotdogs and popcorn and then leaving fifteen minutes early to avoid the crush,

I can see why people would want an amnesty but those reasons you cite can also be said about others regarding WHL... WHL is a bit of a pain to get to both via transport and distance from stations eg Seven Sisters... But we still do it.

The question is, can the club afford to have an amnesty especially when they have a 90k stadium to fill. They can afford to reduce prices for sure and think they really should to really get people in. The issue is the club run the risk of people buying cheap season tickets with those people picking and choosing their games which means we will definitely have pockets of empty seats. You won't be able to sell them on stub hub because we will have a shit load of tickets going on general I think.

Agreed mate, not just for selfish reasons. The STH who regularly Stubhub should be clamped down on now.

I had an ST from the late 70s till 2004 when I went overseas. Now I'm back, I'm willing to pay whatever it takes to get back in, but I'd expect to stay in.

Then I think it's best to agree to disagree on this one, it's the least the club should do for their most loyal fans imo.

Seconded.

But presumably because we've not decided what we're doing yet, they've not announced anything?

I imagine there's a plan and an order - waiting list, loyalty points, members then ballot?

Dunno but I'd definitely buy one if I could.

I don't think an amnesty will happen, makes no business sense. They could lower the prices as a sweetener for the inconvenience, what with all the extra tickets they can sell. But it's Levy so probably not

The difference being WHL is the clubs location if you support Tottenham that's probably where you are going to end up going - Wembley on the other hand is for the traditional Spurs heartland a mare to get to and from

I have been told that box holders have been given the option but I think they may have had to make a commitment to the new ground. As for a business model surely the best business model is to look after the punters who pay up front and have years of loyalty. Though in football terms the club is more likely to be concerned with the occasional fan who spends a good few quid in the shop and a hotdog

This is pretty much it.
I think they should, but I don't expect they will.

 

[Phischy]

I'm fairly sure the club already told the Trust they weren't having an amnesty. The Trust asked them to reconsider and they said they'd take it under advisement, but from all I've seen it appears no amnesty will be offered. The rationale I believe was 'you wanted us to stay in London rather than MK, you got your wish, so you should be able to come along and support your team'.
