So so many people mocking the protest and saying it was pointless, including plenty of reds on here which was really disappointing to see.
This is about football but some fans are so blind they cannot get past club loyalty.
It goes to show what a walkout can do, such a public gesture where cameras are on will get huge attention, much more than pre-game protests etc.
Hopefully we see other clubs follow suit.
simple case of supply and demand, just like every other business.
ive been paying stupid prices to watch spurs for years now. that's just how it is - nobody is forced to consume the product, exactly the same way nobody is forced to buy a more expensive thing from John Lewis when they can get the same thing for cheaper in PC world
The problem is the clubs with the most expensive tickets, always sell out . And the clubs with the cheapest tickets have lots of empty seats.
Don`t make sense, but that is the way it is.
I disagree completely Chronic. If Spurs were offering £80 prices per average home game and I had £50 disposable income, should I go and support Arsenal if they're doing £20 special tickets?
Sporting teams are completely irrelevant in comparisons with any other industry business. They started as community-focused entities too let's not forget, so not at all similar to PC World or John Lewis

no you shouldn't. but only because you are a spurs fan, therefore I suggest that you wouldn't enjoy consuming arsenal games.
if you cannot afford what you want to buy you have to either not buy it, or spend less on something else.
if I want to fly to Australia but I cannot afford the ticket, then I cannot go. simple
Can't blame the teams.
If they keep increasing prices and yet continue filling out seats then why should they reduce them? Its a business and as long as we have people willing to pay for them then it doesnt stop.
If a clubs fans manage to organize a mass boycott where only 40% or however much seats are sold on a regular basis then i guarantee there will be changes made.
