I love Spurs and love my football, but i just couldn’t justify paying £1,000 + for a club that shows such lack of ambition compared to the other top clubs with similar sort of prices. If Spurs we’re providing the tools for a manager to succeed and a direction with a positive vision, I’d be possibly tempted to fork out. Even if it meant going half and half with a family member. Spurs just don’t justify the hugely inflated costs in my opinion, as we never get any real success. If I’m paying £1,400 for a season ticket, I want to see my club win trophies and compete. End of story.
It’s easy to get tickets for home games, so I don’t see the benefits…..You don’t know day / times of games (Sundays are difficult for me), you pay 4-10 months in advance, and you aren’t really losing your ‘good spot’ like in the old ground.
ST in the current financial climate just won’t work for everyone. If you miss a few games that don’t resell then you are losing money.
ST “waiting list” were hitting close to 100k when I signed up. Maybe this year we go over 100K.
On paper looks very healthy for people wanting STs. In reality……..

Depends if you have had one for years and do away games then you have to have one.
Agree with the point on away games 100%
My wife and I renewed for two reasons-firstly to maintain our hard earned ticketing points-the very few away games we manage to get tickets for are always enjoyable, the miracle in Leicester will live in our memories forever and even a dismal draw at Everton and defeats at Burnley & Middlesbrough were enjoyable in that masochistic way that only supporters truly understand.
Secondly our STs are in South safe standing and we love our view from where we are, especially second half when we usually attack that end. We have tried all sorts of different seats at Europa Conference/FA Cup games and while all have been excellent none compare to our STs (plus the atmosphere is much better in the safe standing)
Here’s to a strong finish to the season.Enjoy the game today everyone.COYS!!

I can see why people don’t want to commit to a ST.
As a member you can pick and choose your games and as someone said, wherever your ticket is you’ll get a decent seat and it’s what, £40-£50 for a membership? So it makes perfect sense to be a member I guess.
On the flip side, don’t come crying to me when I have my ticket for next seasons CL final whilst you are sitting in your armchair with your head in your hands crying “why god why did I not renew”

Of course I renewed in the end. Don't want to miss seeing us win the league.
I was 50-50. But, in the end I did manage to sell the seat for the games I couldn't attend, so had over £200 towards this seasons ticket.
I think with re-selling, it really does make a difference where the seat is, I think mine is a good location, but the disadvantage is its only a single seat, when many looking to buy, want a pair. Mine is probably on the lower end of the price scale as well, which helps I guess.
For me, having the ST gives me the kick up the ass I need to get to games, when we are playing crap. Having to swap games clashes with work rota's etc. is a pain, so I wouldn't bother buying a ticket on membership, if I had to do all that.
Having said that, if we don't show any real progress or ambition, then I really can see this being my last year. The cost of the ticket and getting to games, diesel costs rising and everything else. It will be a luxury that may have to be jettisoned for other priorities.

Transport for me from where I live is useless. So the continual changes of match day and ridiculous kick off times have started to make attendance a chore.
I'm a dinosaur and although I have tried to come to terms with 'modern football' it is a struggle.
Watching people in the 'hard core' south stand eating quiche in their seats, talking about their mortgage rate and spending 90 minutes on social media is so far out of my comfort zone.
It was a wrench giving up the ST without a doubt but I have friends that had STs for 15, 20, 25 years and gave them up. They missed it the first season but were all good by the second season.
I will still do 15 games a season or something like that from now on. Enough to make me a loyal supporter but not so many that it becomes tedious.
Good luck to those that renewed. Hope the team and Levy make it worth your while.
Haven't had one for four years and wouldn't be able to afford it now anyway. Just had two annexes built in the garden, two kids soon to head to university, wife's updated her motor, and everything's going up in price. I'll just wander along to cheap games in cheap seats like this past few years.

Did you renew in the end?
Renewed mine. Have asked for relocation to the South Stand, currently North Lower.
I have one with two of my mates and considering the age we are and how long it took for us to get one we'd be stupid to give it up. I enjoy the social side of the game, seeing my mates etc sometimes more than the football.
I go to pretty much every home game but want to build up my loyalty points for away games. Currently on about 220 .
Worst case if the football is shit I just sell the ticket on or put it on the exchange so it's no great problem.

Renewed at the beginning of April. I go with my dad, have done since I was a small child. One day I won’t be able to, so I wouldn’t voluntarily stop as long as I could afford it.
Hope that renewal came with a free time machine
dont think it goes as far as the year 5000
Yes. To be honest we'll probably end up moving back to Wales in the next couple of years so while I'm in London I'll keep renewing because it's unlikely we'll stay in London forever.
I have never been able to sell my tickets on exchange - not once
I did but this is the last time unless there is a change in attitude from Levy. We didn’t build this glorious stadium so that we could fill it with average players. We need to get serious.
