So Spurs have just sold out their 40,000 season tickets at the 90,000 seater Wembley. 1 month after The Arsenal closed off their 44,000 season ticket renewal deadline, Spurs seem happy to have finally managed to sell out tickets for the England national stadium.
But at what cost to their relationship with fans?
Firstly it seems when planning to move to Wembley, Spurs promised current season ticket holders that they could take a “break” and not renew when they moved to Wembley on the promise they would get a season ticket at the new White Hart Lane.
Spurs have apparently gone back on this offer and forced old season ticket holders to renew, otherwise the will miss out on the new stadium and go to the back of the waiting list.
To attract additional buyers, Spurs have also promised any new fan who buys a season ticket at Wembley a season ticket at their new stadium, no matter where they sat on the season ticket waiting list.
The deal was simple. Buy a season ticket at Wembley for the next two seasons (more on two seasons later), guarantee yourself a season ticket for the new White Hart Lane.
Spurs fans are reportedly not too happy with the bribery and fake promises by the club which have forced them to buy a Wembley season ticket.
Hidden amongst the marketing for the season tickets was the fact that Spurs expect to be at Wembley for two years as the construction of the new White Hart Lane is at least a year behind schedule.

How many season ticket holders did not renew their season tickets? We sold a total of 40,000 odd season tickets at Wembley. If 5000 (probably ¼ on last season) current holders didn’t take up the option this season, are you telling me we could not have 45,000 season ticket holders in our new 61,500 capacity stadium next year?
Also – where is the report that Spurs are behind on their build?

I suspect the stinking Yids will sell out Wembley for the first 4 or 5 matches and category A games but attendances will drop like a stone for the lesser games. They had 80 odd thousand for their first 2 Champions League games last year and then 60,000 for the last one. It`ll be interesting how many turn up for domestic Cup games as they have struggled to sell out White shite lane in recent seasons for them. Maybe they`ll have to leave the upper tier empty or something because it will look a bit embarrassing otherwise. They should be able to consistently get around 55 – 60 thousand though, they have a similar size fan base to West Ham and theyve managed that type of crowd since moving to their new ground.

Even for this time of year when two bob hacks and trolls invent stories with little research or regard for any factual evidence, this has got to be the most pathetic.
Last year Spurs had 19,000 season ticket holders at White Hart Lane.( Not including corporate members )
The increased size of the new stadium means they are able to offer a further 20,000 to members at the TOP of the season ticket waiting list, Yes ! that’s right ! 20,000 people who have been waiting YEARS to become season ticket holders. All of these are now sold.
These supporters will take their seats at wembley for ONE SEASON before moving into our new stadium.
Do you expect the original season ticket holders to refuse to buy their tickets just because we’re playing at Wembley ?
The new stadium build is a YEAR behind schedule ? That’s the best bit of BS I’ve heard about Spurs since last season finished. ( And there’s been some proper rubbish written )
Have you seen the pictures / videos of the new build ? They only started demolishing the old stadium in May !
Next year when ” Bring your toddler to your workplace for the day ” comes around, do it by all means, but don’t let them write your articles for you

It is a fact that current Spurs season ticket holders were promised that they could have a “break” for the Wembley years. And it is a fact that Spurs have broken that promise.
It is also a fact that any fan can get a season ticket for Wembley, and that then guarantees them a season ticket for WHL, no matter if they were previously on the waiting list.
All this information has been told to me by Spurs fans.

The ‘break’ as you put it was if Tottenham played at MK Dons ground, it being out of London, no such promise was made for games played in a ground in London. Look at the prices of the season tickets and you will find they are cheaper than the equivalent ticket at White Hart Lane.
There is no promise of a ticket in the new Lane for those who have taken up a Wembley season ticket out of place due to travel implications (supporters from northern cities will be unable to get home at the weekend due to thier trains leaving before they can get back intio London Terninals}.

Tottenham accommodated about 15000 new season ticket holders so of course it took longer.
The season ticket holiday was in case tottenham played away from London.
It was capped at 40000 to be consistent with the new stadium.
