That's something i hope doesn't transfer from Wembley
That stand outside Wembley sold previous match day half and half scarves, talk about fucking niche.
Now the Club has announced a price freeze on Season Tickets for the 2019/20 season, and announced match day pricing for the remainder of the current season, we can take a considered view of what this means for supporters.
We have made no secret of our view that season ticket prices are too high at our new stadium. So we are pleased ST prices have been frozen for next year and thank the Club for that decision.
One reason we argued that ST prices were too high was because the Club left itself limited room for manoeuvre when announcing match day pricing. That has proved to be the case. If the total price of buying a ticket for every game individually had come in far below the price of a Season Ticket, there would understandably have been uproar from ST holders.
While Category A tickets are, unsurprisingly, among the most expensive in the country, high profile games against quality opposition are generally less price sensitive than other less attractive fixtures. Our main concern is that increases of between 30% and 50% on average throughout the stadium in Category B and C pricing from previous White Hart Lane pricing will make access to those games very difficult once the novelty of the new stadium has worn off. The Club will argue that prices are not comparable, but fans’ pay packets are comparable and this is a sharp increase in a little over 2 seasons.
Match day pricing is not only costly for One Hotspur members and General Admission fans attending individual games. Now that a Season Ticket only comprises the basic 19 home Premier League games, having removed the remaining 2 cup credits before the move to Wembley, match categorisation affects ST holders in every home game outside that basic package.
We will certainly be pushing for a continuation of progressive pricing across all cup competitions to offset the high pricing of league games as an interim measure.
We will continue to digest the full implications of these figures and publish a more detailed analysis in our regular newsletter at the end of this month.

No cheese?
Or Beigals
The seat I am in for the U18's game is £55 for a cat C game, that is outrageous. If the club want the south stand to be 'a wall of noise' they will need to bring the prices down. Also who the fuck is going to pay £80 to sit by the tunnel for Spurs v Huddersfield?
If it actually looks like that, I'm booking a plane ticket over for lunch. That is top-notch junk food photography.If the wings actually look like this I’ll be ordering them on Sunday

I don't often agree or pay much attention to The Trust but they are spot on here...

I cant read that .Apparently its not available in my country...
We don't get cup games anymore so if we get someone like Rochdale, am I really going to pay £65 for that game?
Do we get a free pint n pie at half time on your first visit, due to all the delays,as a sorry and thank you?
Just a thought

Surprised Levy hasn't added a special "Champions League Category".
In my case the ST saves a whopping £3 - £975 rather than £978.
Except they have the numbers all wrong ... there is no 30%-50% increase it's just a made up number based on a random sample ... if you look back over a decent time span for example over the last: 10 years, or 20 years, or 30 years then Spurs tickets have not increased by anymore than all the other London clubs, and indeed by less than many off them. If you just pick the one year in the last twenty where we have seen a substantial increase (new ground perhaps?) then that figure of course looks high ... we all know the Trust have an agenda on ST prices, and that's fair enough. But whilst the waiting list is 70,000+ and match tickets sell out in a few hours, they really are flogging a dead horse.
Its available in mine (England). Where the fuck are you?
Knightsbridge...I always thought that was still in England, maybe i am wrong...
