Its not Spurs fans ripping of their own fans remember its the club you that signed an agreement with stubhub. They are doing this purely out of greed and not "for the fans". Just as they would have had us playing in Stratford.

I doubt we will get 90k. Barca only sell out the Nou Camp when they play against Real in Super Classico and may be a 1/4 CL and above. But we will certainly get to see how real that waiting list is.
Any ticket sold on StubHub is sold by a holder of a ticket in the first place, who is either a tout under cover or a Spurs fan, or is there another ticket holder I have missed?

where the article said we get get full capacity at Wembley for a few big games.I really reckon we could do it, it's a rare treat, every Spurs fan around would go to a Barca Spurs game.
I hope so mate, it would be great but I am dubious we could fill Wembley with 85K. Spurs.I was referring to post earlier from

It's a shame if the games aren't at WHL, but more people will see them, so swings and roundabouts. I'd be on the side of traditional until I realise I can get a ticket for a CL match, then nostalgia takes a back seat.
£5 tickets, AM.I.RITE!!!!
I live 5 stops away on the Met line. Gonna be so useful for a year or so for me personally. Hopefully a lot more go on general sale as pieing off the season ticket (£££).
I'm with this, if the extra seats mean more kids and younger fans who do not have silly money can come watch our team, those who have been blocked by selfie stick tourist warriors since 2010 then it's worth it
It'll get that either way.
In reality, Champions League football hasn't been a mainstay or a big thing at WHL or it's history. Although nights like Inter Milan are up there with the greatest I've ever experienced I'm not overly disappointed those few games won't be held there.
The games that will be, will no doubt give the old girl the greatest send off imaginable.
You just know the final league game at home will be against the Arse... just to give them another opportunity to ruin something else for us...
AN OPPORTUNITY WE CAN NOT GIVE THEM!
We saw West Ham go all out to make sure their final London Derby against us (and them) didn't end in defeat...
We need to do the same!
It's all in the wrist mate. Master that ( nearly a pun) and your biceps/triceps will not suffer as much.But...but...okay, I'll stop. :walkercry:
My arm was getting a bit tired anyway,to be honest.
However, it still poses an equally high RSI risk rate if overused.
That'd be one way to guarantee a lack of atmosphere.
Respect your opinion on this but disagree.
The atmosphere against Inter, AC Milan, Real Madrid etc. was incredible. I doubt that many Spurs fans sold their tickets to make a mint. Why would you? It doesn't make sense. If you're a loyal yid, which as a ST holder you are (unless you're a corporate in the West Stand who wants to entertain clients), then surely you'd want to see these games yourself. I agree with you that it is wrong to sell tickets to another yid beyond face value...unless, say, you are on the bread line for a year and need to do this to keep your ST, which I understand.
My feeling is that Wembley will be half-full of part-time/armchair Spurs fans now that we're in the CL. You won't get the hardcore grouping together (i.e. Park Lane and Shelfside) and that will really affect our support...just the same as at Emirates all the goons were dissipated around the ground, they didn't (and don't) have "an end". At Wembley you'll get a lad who wants to sing and swear next to a family or a tourist...it won't work. And sound carries poorly in that stadium, and you're far away from the pitch.
I can't see the team doing well at Wembley either, which is even more important. It's like an away game and I think the atmosphere at the Lane with the fans close to the pitch, the Park Lane and Shelfside starting the songs etc, was a big factor in our CL run last time around.
I really hope you're right and I'm wrong though, and obviously I'd encourage all the lot on here to go to Wembley for these games and try and make it special. I'll be there but predict Levy will use this as an excuse to not include any CL games in the ST and charge a lot for them.
I'm pretty sure, you're overestimating the advantage quite a bit more than "people" underestimate it :chadliwtf:
People go to Wembley and are surprised by just how big the pitch size is. It's the maximum legal limit, in terms of length and width, whereas WHL is below the minimum allowed limit (Or just about reaches it). That difference is absolutely massive and playing there for a season will teach our players how to abuse space and take advantage of it. It's a really big advantage to have.
The more familiar you get with a cup final atmosphere the better, and what better way to become familiar than to play in the stadia of one every single game?
Basing a huge decision like where to play our home matches on an advantage in one or two matches every season if all things align and we go far in the cups is just a silly argument.
Even if I was inclined to agree the difference is that big, I'm sure the coach turning an expected 5th-7th team into a CL-team can juuuuuuust manage to set up a training session or two that'll help when we face the monumental task of a big pitch
When did I say basing?
I'm saying it's a pretty good side advantage to have.
And your second point is completely irrelevant. Not sure where that came from or why. When did I say Poch couldn't do training sessions?
Are you just in a smary, smart ass mood? I'll let this conversation die anyway, nice talking
