It is going to take a Spurs fans revolt.....whereby they refuse to pay Levy's prices.
Go to the away games if they are cheaper.
Levy treats the fans as idiots.
Refuses to buy expensive talented players.
Runs the club as a financial institution.
And wins nothing that the fans yearn for.
Lets see what lessons the Arsenholes will teach us next!!
Lucky neither of you spend any money on Spurs...have a good moan anyway
£7 a ticket less than last year. I don't know what that adds up to because I don't know what away fans allocation is at WHL for European games. I hope no other clubs are grizzling about this and it gathers momentum.
I am keeping a keen eye on the Spanish dynamic pricing issues very similar to the Oasis debacle at the weekend. Would not be suprised to see us try it first over here.
Anyone remember our return to Europe back in 2006 against Slavia Prague £70 a ticket it was ridiculous.
At this stage it really screams as Arsenal, West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur will never care about the fans.

Fans like you calling for massive spending but moaning about ticket prices which, guess what, pay for the massive spending. .

Cheapest seat for villa fans next UCL game is £87.
Spurs EL ticket prices is £30 adults and £10 kids.
I think Levy is right to oppose this - but for a different reason.
10 years ago I was able to go to about 10 away games with Spurs a season, this was usually games outside of London. I used to love going to these matches and had a ridiculous streak of watching Spurs win away.
Then some clueless do gooder decided away fans were being ripped off and installed a £30 cap on away tickets. The result was I couldn’t get to a single away game anymore as the loyalty points hoarders knew they could buy those tickets at that price, get the loyalty points and sell them on often at a profit. So the only way I can go is to directly compensate these absolute selfish faaacks.
The stupidity of these proposed pricing schemes is they apply to away tickets only - so Spurs vs Luton last season, I was paying £60 and the Luton fans were paying £30. Spurs vs Arsenal next week, I’m not going, but I would have had to pay circa £75 whilst the Gooners pay £30.
This dynamic pricing - faaaack me do I welcome it for away tickets. Let’s see how many of the utterly selfish loyalty points hoarders are prepared to pay £70 to watch Spurs away to Burnley/Sunderland on a freezing cold Tuesday night - not many, and it would mean I get to watch us away again without feeding the khunts that turned away tickets into a business profiting from fellow Spurs fans.
Levy is right to tell UEFa to jack it
Also I don’t want to see fellow Spurs fans getting priced out. The club should be making 3 or 4 home games a season £25 a ticket and prioritise getting younger fans in - maybe give people with Junior hotspur memberships an exclusive day to buy tickets with 1 adult prior to the rest of the tickets being released to members. This way we get that next generation of fan in and they feel like they still have a connection with the club.
The hit on our finances to do that would be absolutely minimal, especially if Levy tells the Prem to faaack off with their £30 away cap - we will charge the away fans what we like and if they don’t like it they won’t buy the tickets - except they will or a fellow fan will.
Annoys the schitt out of me - home ticket increases all the time, player wages, transfer fees, TV money - where do the regulators step in to “protect the consumer” - faaacking away tickets that were already like gold dust, can’t have free market enterprise there can we you stupid faaaacking khunts

IMO ticket prices for away fans should be no more than the cheapest ticket for home fans.
£30 is arbitrary and unfair. Watching your team away is a commitment requiring time and money and its a choice people can make or not. Making tickets cheaper than that paid by the home fans simply because they may have had travel and accommodation costs is unjustified and shouldn't mean the home club has to subsidise them. Often clubs provide their fans with discounted travel anyway.
For the NLD loads of Arsenal fans will be more or less local and get to watch the game for £30...that's bonkers!

I agree the club should be way more creative in their pricing for kids and getting the next generation in.
We have scraped the OAP concession because we have an aging fan base (probably because tickets are so pricey, so only higher earners can afford it), so we should be actively looking to get the next generation in...get them hooked and stage their price increases into adulthood. These prices should reflect loyalty. If you have been a ST holder since age 10, or something, when you hit 18 maybe your ST should be slightly discounted - just some sort of recognition of loyalty.
Problem is that despite having a massive stadium now, demand exceed supply so account Levy applies simple economics without any real emotion

Yep it makes no sense that ruling from top to bottom.
The idea was to protect fans from rip off pricing - but they focused on the away tickets rather than the home tickets - so on the 10% and under rather than the 90% plus - why?
Away tickets were incredibly hard to get anyway - you had to build up loyalty points over a period of time and then hope you had enough to make the cut off. There was zero struggle there, Spurs and I would imagine other big clubs could sell out their away allocations several times over if tickets were twice the price. But no, a £30 cap for gold dust.
Home tickets meanwhile - seniors have just lost their concession, Junior tickets range from £26 to £30 odd for the cheapest seats depending on fixture category. I’ve just paid £110 to take my 6 year old with me to the Ipswich home game after finally giving up my season ticket, I couldn’t get 2 tickets together during the members sale period and instead had to buy on the resale - which means paying adult prices for junior tickets.
Meanwhile the club compounds things further by handing out ridiculous away loyalty points for people paying £30 to watch Spurs.
Makes no sense and I’m glad Levy has challenged UEFA and I hope he gets stuck into the Prem as well about this nonsense

It’s short term though Devon - it’s all about hooking them 10 year olds now as they will be fans for the next 60/70 years.
It wouldn’t hurt the clubs finances significantly in the short term is they said Forest, Ipswich, Wolves at home - junior members get a priority access day plus 1 adult and the junior tickets will be priced at £20 and you get a match programme with it. You’re securing your fan base for decades to come.
I’m finding it incredibly expensive and tricky with just 1 of my sons - when my other son is older it’s going to be incredibly difficult to source 3 seats next to each other and home games are going to cost me circa £120
If I was flying out to Hungary to watch our Europa League game, flights transfer accommodation, food, drinking from the moment you arrive at Heathrow, whether the ticket was £30 or £60 or £100 wouldnt make much of a difference.
As long as fans are not being exploited and being charged more than they should that should be enough. Not forcing artificially low prices on clubs...Feck me UEFA are one of the greediest cuuuunts out there. Try getting a ticket for the UCL final at a decent price, when they've filled half the ground with their "UEFA family" ...yet here they are dictating what clubs should charge. Will they be capping the UCL / EL / ECL final tickets at £30. Hell no!!!! It's beyond ironic

I have exactly the same problem as you, but with 2 sons.
IF, and its a big if, i can get tickets as a One Hotspur member on Member priority day then Ipswich for example could be about £100 for all of us, which is ok value. But like you i couldnt. In fact i was on holiday when the tickets came out but got online early, was 4000 and something in the queue and then sudednly it kicked me out and by the time it refreshed I was 14,000 something in the queue. When I finally got to the match tickets there were literally a dozen left. spread across the ground

Little tip for you on that as the same happened to me - go on the site the following day from the member access at about 10am. That’s when the resale tickets go up for sale, I.e. season ticket holders who can’t attend. The problem is you have to pay adult prices for kids tickets - but you can at least get tickets together

On this particular one I’m right behind Levy - if you go to games and ever try to get away tickets for Spurs you will know how ridiculous this is.
Like Devon said, if your prepared to drop £300 to go to Budapest for a game - are you going to really care if the ticket is £50 or £30, it’s a pizz in the ocean.
And Devon’s right about euro finals tickets - We will get 9,000 tickets for a final whilst UEFA take 20,000 for themselves - and they will charge up to well over £100 for those tickets. How can any of this be right?

10 years ago I was able to go to about 10 away games with Spurs a season, this was usually games outside of London. I used to love going to these matches and had a ridiculous streak of watching Spurs win away.
Then some clueless do gooder decided away fans were being ripped off and installed a £30 cap on away tickets. The result was I couldn’t get to a single away game anymore as the loyalty points hoarders knew they could buy those tickets at that price, get the loyalty points and sell them on often at a profit. So the only way I can go is to directly compensate these absolute selfish faaacks.
The stupidity of these proposed pricing schemes is they apply to away tickets only - so Spurs vs Luton last season, I was paying £60 and the Luton fans were paying £30. Spurs vs Arsenal next week, I’m not going, but I would have had to pay circa £75 whilst the Gooners pay £30.
This dynamic pricing - faaaack me do I welcome it for away tickets. Let’s see how many of the utterly selfish loyalty points hoarders are prepared to pay £70 to watch Spurs away to Burnley/Sunderland on a freezing cold Tuesday night - not many, and it would mean I get to watch us away again without feeding the khunts that turned away tickets into a business profiting from fellow Spurs fans.
Levy is right to tell UEFa to jack it

IMO ticket prices for away fans should be no more than the cheapest ticket for home fans.
£30 is arbitrary and unfair. Watching your team away is a commitment requiring time and money and its a choice people can make or not. Making tickets cheaper than that paid by the home fans simply because they may have had travel and accommodation costs is unjustified and shouldn't mean the home club has to subsidise them. Often clubs provide their fans with discounted travel anyway.
For the NLD loads of Arsenal fans will be more or less local and get to watch the game for £30...that's bonkers!

Also I don’t want to see fellow Spurs fans getting priced out. The club should be making 3 or 4 home games a season £25 a ticket and prioritise getting younger fans in - maybe give people with Junior hotspur memberships an exclusive day to buy tickets with 1 adult prior to the rest of the tickets being released to members. This way we get that next generation of fan in and they feel like they still have a connection with the club.
The hit on our finances to do that would be absolutely minimal, especially if Levy tells the Prem to faaack off with their £30 away cap - we will charge the away fans what we like and if they don’t like it they won’t buy the tickets - except they will or a fellow fan will.
Annoys the schitt out of me - home ticket increases all the time, player wages, transfer fees, TV money - where do the regulators step in to “protect the consumer” - faaacking away tickets that were already like gold dust, can’t have free market enterprise there can we you stupid faaaacking khunts

I agree the club should be way more creative in their pricing for kids and getting the next generation in.
We have scraped the OAP concession because we have an aging fan base (probably because tickets are so pricey, so only higher earners can afford it), so we should be actively looking to get the next generation in...get them hooked and stage their price increases into adulthood. These prices should reflect loyalty. If you have been a ST holder since age 10, or something, when you hit 18 maybe your ST should be slightly discounted - just some sort of recognition of loyalty.
Problem is that despite having a massive stadium now, demand exceed supply so account Levy applies simple economics without any real emotion

Yep it makes no sense that ruling from top to bottom.
The idea was to protect fans from rip off pricing - but they focused on the away tickets rather than the home tickets - so on the 10% and under rather than the 90% plus - why?
Away tickets were incredibly hard to get anyway - you had to build up loyalty points over a period of time and then hope you had enough to make the cut off. There was zero struggle there, Spurs and I would imagine other big clubs could sell out their away allocations several times over if tickets were twice the price. But no, a £30 cap for gold dust.
Home tickets meanwhile - seniors have just lost their concession, Junior tickets range from £26 to £30 odd for the cheapest seats depending on fixture category. I’ve just paid £110 to take my 6 year old with me to the Ipswich home game after finally giving up my season ticket, I couldn’t get 2 tickets together during the members sale period and instead had to buy on the resale - which means paying adult prices for junior tickets.
Meanwhile the club compounds things further by handing out ridiculous away loyalty points for people paying £30 to watch Spurs.
Makes no sense and I’m glad Levy has challenged UEFA and I hope he gets stuck into the Prem as well about this nonsense

It’s short term though Devon - it’s all about hooking them 10 year olds now as they will be fans for the next 60/70 years.
It wouldn’t hurt the clubs finances significantly in the short term is they said Forest, Ipswich, Wolves at home - junior members get a priority access day plus 1 adult and the junior tickets will be priced at £20 and you get a match programme with it. You’re securing your fan base for decades to come.
I’m finding it incredibly expensive and tricky with just 1 of my sons - when my other son is older it’s going to be incredibly difficult to source 3 seats next to each other and home games are going to cost me circa £120

If I was flying out to Hungary to watch our Europa League game, flights transfer accommodation, food, drinking from the moment you arrive at Heathrow, whether the ticket was £30 or £60 or £100 wouldnt make much of a difference.
As long as fans are not being exploited and being charged more than they should that should be enough. Not forcing artificially low prices on clubs...Feck me UEFA are one of the greediest cuuuunts out there. Try getting a ticket for the UCL final at a decent price, when they've filled half the ground with their "UEFA family" ...yet here they are dictating what clubs should charge. Will they be capping the UCL / EL / ECL final tickets at £30. Hell no!!!! It's beyond ironic

I have exactly the same problem as you, but with 2 sons.
IF, and its a big if, i can get tickets as a One Hotspur member on Member priority day then Ipswich for example could be about £100 for all of us, which is ok value. But like you i couldnt. In fact i was on holiday when the tickets came out but got online early, was 4000 and something in the queue and then sudednly it kicked me out and by the time it refreshed I was 14,000 something in the queue. When I finally got to the match tickets there were literally a dozen left. spread across the ground

Little tip for you on that as the same happened to me - go on the site the following day from the member access at about 10am. That’s when the resale tickets go up for sale, I.e. season ticket holders who can’t attend. The problem is you have to pay adult prices for kids tickets - but you can at least get tickets together

On this particular one I’m right behind Levy - if you go to games and ever try to get away tickets for Spurs you will know how ridiculous this is.
Like Devon said, if your prepared to drop £300 to go to Budapest for a game - are you going to really care if the ticket is £50 or £30, it’s a pizz in the ocean.
And Devon’s right about euro finals tickets - We will get 9,000 tickets for a final whilst UEFA take 20,000 for themselves - and they will charge up to well over £100 for those tickets. How can any of this be right?
