My main two issues with this are (as previously mentioned),
the ST waiting list now has less chance of going down as many would probably rather keep it and sell tickets than give it up. This means I and many others have to wait even longer for a ST! However as seen in the THST Q&A apparently Spurs will monitor sales and see if certain ST's are being sold more often than used (bollocks...)
and
I agree that many buying these will be tourists which in turn affects the atmosphere. Great, something else contributing to the already dying atmosphere.
Also, apparently the club promote/look to put families/tourists/packages in Park Lane. I thought we had a fucking family stand for that reason! Too many times I've seen couples/families/tourists who shouldn't be there I'm afraid. Sit elsewhere.
At one game this season the team came out, everybody stood and clapped (as you do), whistle blows for k.o. and this couple next to me immediately sat down. (Yes this happens elsewhere in the ground and fair enough, but not normally in Park Lane). They looked at me and I looked back and just shook my head, they were forced to stand for the game. Sit elsewhere.
Oh and obviously people being ripped off too!
