Yesterday was the first time I listed my seats on the exchange and they didn't sell.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Mine were listed for Man U (I was working - could’ve called in a few favours if I’d REALLY wanted to go).
Went yesterday and me & the fella next to me (another ST holder) noted the gaping holes - middle of the south stand; first tier of the east; back of most stands. 8 seats in front of us unoccupied.
Whole day felt flat and the ground half full

I have mentioned this a few times before but my brother in law and I have sat together every game we have attended in the last two seasons (apart from Woolwich last season) despite having seats in different blocks/stands.

has come down from the North Stand and sat with us the last 2 games we went to.
Pretty sure Brentford will be the same

To the immediate right of me are the premium seats and as you can imagine, it's mainly tourists, not all Spurs supporters and they tend to be all sold. However, yesterday there were quite a few gaps. The ST holder to the left of me has been missing for quite a few games and only attended yesterday because he couldn't sell. The Sonny fans are still turning up in huge numbers and spending a small fortune in the shop. It's not difficult to go along with the theory that Sonny's always plays, no matter his form (especially this season).
Next season is going to be interesting!

I haven’t been to a home game this calendar year (I think… our games are so immemorable I could be wrong) and only Brighton didn’t sell on the exchange. Amazing really. I’m only going to renew if I really want to, and something drastic will have to change for that to happen. Sad really. Club used to mean so much to me but Levy has killed the true club and now it’s just an entertainment product and customers.

All the games blur into each other. Same formation, same players same shit performance.
We will have to sign another Korean when Sonny goes for all the lolly they spend .
Not at what we charge, prices come down we will easy.
Wish I was. And I doubt this would happen, but if the cost is covered by sponsorship, the money would still go in the till. So no financial downside.
Just after lockdown, when I still had my season ticket, they were using actual people in attendance. I know that because we had up to 10k not turning up and that was reflected.After seeing huge gaps in the crowd yesterday I was surprised to see the official attendance to be 61,093.
It appears that this season the club has been using the "tickets sold" rather than "through the turnstile" metric for recording attendances, presumably to avoid the embarrasing true figures becoming public.
Here are the 2021-22 and 2022-23 figures for comparison:

I will say that a lot, and I mean a lot, of people stay inside most of the game drinking.
Would not at all be surprised if that happened,
This maybe a bit controversial but heck, I took a Liverpool fan to a game a few years ago. He made two observations: 1. Tottenham fans hate Tottenham but just a little less than other teams and 2. The number of Korean flags that were held upon a goal. He said, can you imagine thousand of English people turning up at a foriegn game and holding up England flags because an English player is playing? And because of this they must be quite homogeneous culturally and nationalist to do that.
I did agree with him but know nothing about Korea.
Those stay away fans are obviously not spending in the bars , restaurants and club shop as well . No CL money either , I think for at least two seasons min unless the new manager is a miracle worker .
I am Levy Out in a big way as you know , however one thing he has is cojones . I can’t see him panicking, I think he should be , but can’t see it . He clearly feels bomb proof in his position
we need a new manager
This man has taken away 4 cup matches from season ticket holders so I wouldn't hold your breath.
I gave up attending home matches as a season ticket holder 15 years ago. In the last few months I have received offers for home game tickets off people I haven't heard from in years.
I have also heard views expressed about how having a season ticket is now virtually pointless because you can never get away match tickets.
I get the feeling many will be picking and choosing their games going forward to avoid being saddled with home game tickets they may prefer not to attend.
Levy killed the hardcore support with his progressive penny pinching years ago.
He's now in the hands of the fly by night Spurs supporters, who've turned up in the last few seasons, and the tourists.
