Has anyone head about ticket pricing yet? I think the Supporters Trust had a meeting with the club in the last couple of days.

I can't believe any owner in the current climate would increase prices, but Levy, and a stadium to pay for, the rationale is already written.

I'm a bit meh with ticket prices. It's supply and demand like any business, I don't see why football should be any different. If you don't want to pay the money, don't go. If enough people feel the same, they'll lower prices. What does piss me off though is the use of 3rd party companies like Stubbhub to resale fans tickets to fans. That's a fking disgrace by the club.

Same for me. I think tickets should be more expensive as they are artificially low across most of the big clubs.
I've never really understood why they keep them so cheap.
Have you seen how much international Rugby tickets are? And rugby is ste.

International rugby is about 6 games a year, it's treated as more of an event.

I spend a large portion of my time thinking about football and the majority of that trying to squash dreaming about what could happen, but it's getting harder and harder to do. The worst case scenario that we have seen so many times would take such epic capitulation, that it exceeds even the Spursian final 1/3rd of a season downfall. Mid-February and we are 2nd, 7 points clear of 5th, top on GD, in the FA Cup, title race and Europa knockouts and have been beaten in the league only twice all season. We have no stand-out player carrying us and an unfathomably good defensive record. As much as somehow finishing 5th would be devastating, finishing 2nd to Leicester is a fresh hell of its own!

3 times in the league,


Just saying like.

Spursian ! i like that

I'm loving this:

"On the field, Tottenham are enjoying the exuberance of youth without dwelling on the comparative lack of experience. Of the 14 players used against Watford on Saturday, nine were aged 23 or under. According to the excellent transfermarkt.co.uk, with an average age of just 24.6, Pochettino is in charge of the youngest squad in Europe’s top five leagues. This is over-performance, achieved well ahead of schedule."

and this:

"The following is a list of teams in Europe’s top five leagues with a better goals conceded per game ratio in 2015/16: Bayern Munich, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid."

I'm confident we can beat anyone in the league, so I'd be very disappointed if we don't make the FA Cup final this year, at least.

International rugby is about 6 games a year, it's treated as more of an event.

In the States, NFL has a local blackout policy. This means that if a game only sells X% of tickets, it can't be shown on TV in the local area. This encourages fans to go which is great for atmosphere and the "product" but also ensures the owners don't price fans out. The do similar with the Rugby in SA etc. But as Spurs is basically sold out every game, you could argue from a business perspective that they aren't charging enough...

I get that, and agree, but I don't see the relevance as supply and demand is the determination.
I just genuinely don't understand why Spurs tickets aren't more expensive as they could sell out twice over at current prices.

I love this about NFL (I'm possibly more of an NFL fan than a footy fan all told), if we had this here then every 3PM saturday game could be televised, which in turn would generate more revenue and allow for more players in the broadcast market. That this hasn't been implemented baffles me, as it deals with the one thing that has historically prevented it, keeping the turnstiles turning.

OK, I've gone and done it.

£2.50 on Spurs to do the treble @ 250/1

Where have you placed that? I've looked on Betfair, Bet365 & Ladbrokes and none of them will let me do multiples of competition outrights with the same team. Not just with Spurs. Doesn't matter if I choose Arsenal to do the double or Man City to win the Prem & CL - none of them will let me do multiples with the same team.

It's not the Prem teams they are worried about, it's all the other teams in the league that would suffer. If all teams in a television region had to sell 80% off tickets, no games would ever get shown. Also, footie is via satellite, so how would you limit it by region? Having said that, anyone who wants to watch a 3pm game remotely, can....so the argument is somewhat moot.

The prem has it's own TV deal so it wouldn't affect non prem teams, the region is the UK, no full house no broadcast.

Skybet have these.


Premier League & FA Cup 33/1


Premier League & Europa League 66/1


FA Cup & Europa League 80/1


Premier League, FA Cup & Europa League 500/1

The FA have an agreement with the Football League not to show 3pm games.

It's bks though. If I placed them as multiples it would be:

Premier League & FA Cup 45/1


Premier League & Europa League 102/1


FA Cup & Europa League 255/2


Premier League, FA Cup & Europa League 765/1

Why can I do multiples with different teams but not the same. Utter rip off.


Eg: City to the the FA Cup, Spurs to win the League, Valencia to win EL = same individual odds as Spurs winning all 3 but will let me place a treble at 765/1.....

Man Utd are out of our sphere of interest now as far as I'm concerned.
