They don’t care - it’s never going to happen. Halfway through next season it will be no different to any other large stadium. Even tonight you could hear the players shouting. Such a shame.

Trying to claw back what they gave away by reducing the categories for the last few games at Wembley
We will always sell out the big games. But who wants to pay 60 quid to watch brighton on a Tuesday?
I wont be going until they reduce them.

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Midweek, Brighton and bank Holiday weekend so people may be away.
Should be service as usual on Saturday.

Posted this elsewhere but worth repeating ... of the 7,000 empty seats some 6,000 were ST holders who never put them on the exchange. There is simply nothing the club can do about that ...
Geezer next to me did exactly the same. I wondered wtf that was all about.
Aside from that I see the cuntoffs have reached their nadir, getting the pigs involved and all that. Christ on a bike.
Went with their mates
The Sky Bar isn't open yet and they're being quite conservative with segregation so the capacity in reality is not much over 60k. And a lot of the unsold seats are probably behind the glass of the sky lounges. The prices of some of these hospitality seats are 30k and a 100k a year so that's a fair whack per game, so they're always gonna struggle to sell the most expensive seats for a midweek game against Brighton.
And it's just a general problem of making sure seats are being sold to people who go that effects every club:

The truth is some people are affluent enough to buy a season ticket and just pick and choose what game they go to.
The most important thing is that it looked full watching it on TV, so the stadium's been well designed in that respect and you don't get the hideous sight you always get at Wembley, even for Cup finals, of swathes of empty bright red seats on the half way line.
I think also that everyone is mainly thinking about the CL at the moment and these last few league games we just kind of wanna get the job done and not pick up any injuries.

I don’t get the hoo haa
Isn’t it perfectly normal for midweek games on tv against crap to not get full capacity at any football team in the world.
We still took 56,000.
WHL wouldn’t have even had 36,000 last night and no one would have battered an eyelid

Loads of ST holders around me were MIA yesterday. To be replaced by Victoria sponge munching day trippers. All that was missing were the doilies.

I did pop down to say hi but I think you might have been off getting your cucumber sandwiches (crusts removed of course) and Earl Grey.
I'm not there on Saturday - not because of unforeseen circumstances but it's my birthday and given my MC handle is 50 pence I'm going to drink Bacardi.
Catch up Vs Ajax if you are about?

the club must know what seats were empty (tickets are electronic) so can't they email them and suggest if you can't turn put your ticket on the exchange or gift it to a member
Likewise. And there’s one bloke near me who misses a good 30/40 mins of every game! Even against city he didn’t appear after half time till 60 mins. Mind boggles!
There were loads of seats already on the exchange unsold.
Probably some literally just can’t be bothered though with all that fuss of the exchange.
The club clearly trying to stop the tickets getting into touts hands and to stop the scammers who were prevalent at Wembley by avoiding letting tickets go to general sale as well.
Think it was a good turnout last night all things considered.
yes club need to stop touts making the money, so in that way it works, I understand club wants the extra money from the one hotspur members, but maybe they could look at opening ticket exchange to those who are members 12 hrs before the match, (yes I'm looking at it from my point of view, as I can't justifiy £42 one hotspur membership for 1-2 home games a season)
Not sure about that
Might be that he’s sat on his own, met his mate at half time and he’s got a spare seat next to him.
I’ve done that before
Yes I have a friend who went with his son to the Palace game, and that happened to them.
