    Are the away seats at the north or south end of the stadium anyone know?

    @JohnBoyUK can you see on the Spurs system whether they are selling to Spurs fans the blocks that would be given to away team if allocation was higher? 

    Here you go... away end/corner in red!



    For the record, thats the same amount of tickets as Arsenal gets, just to be clear, so I doubt you'll get any more.
    From what I can see Blocks 516, 517, 518 and 519 have sold 50% already.  Only a handful of single seats in lower tiers in the South, East and West.  Big chunks of available tickets in the East and South uppers 

    We were in block 119 with my girls for the weekend friendly and it was a great view from there and we was about 10-12 seats away from where the away fans sit.  First time I've sat in the East since the new stadium.

    My usual seat is where the green dot is on block 252 in the South.
    When do Arsenal get this allocation ? 
    ‘For the record’ and ‘just to be clear’ followed by utter nonsense ! Why do people on this site trust people just because they support the club we are playing. I can tell you Arsenal have never received the allocation he has outlined in red and I have no interest in either clubs !!!! 
    Jeez, calm down. John Boy is a decent poster on here. 
    He may well be, but he was very ‘assertive’ with telling us what turns out to be complete nonsense. 
    Utter nonsense he says...

    Picture below from the last NLD I was at... (I've been at all bar one since we moved to the new stadium because of illness)...



    Taken from my ST seat in block 252.  You can see the segregation directly opposite from the stewards and the same is at the end of block 119, where the East Stand concourse is segregated for the away end.

    Spurs fans are in the blocks above (top tier).
    The only difference is clubs with less following don't get the middle tier.
    Don’t really want to carry this on, but Arsenal have 3000 in that pic, we have nearly 6000, so we haven’t got what Arsenal get as it’s a cup tie.

    @JohnBoyUK
    If I were to follow your suggestion and head for Tottenham Hale tube after the game, what do you think my chances are of getting to Victoria Coach station for the 11pm coach to Bournemouth.
    Bear in mind I am an unfit 72 year old
    Its a 20-25 min walk, 20 mins on the tube to Victoria, say 5 min walk up to the railway platforms.
    As its a 7:45pm ko, I'd say you should be fine.  There's no ET is there?  just penalties, yes?
    Thanks mate.
    As far as I understand there is no ET.
    Is the walk to Tottenham Hale straightforward for a fogey in the dark?  :D
    You'll be absolutely fine.
    You have to walk across a park at one point but its well lit and there will be other people all walking in the same direction, you wont be on your own

    Yeah I've done that a couple of times pre phone apps and ended up at someone's house  :D

    What happened to away supporters just getting an end? a corner and half an end seems odd.
    Most premier league / new grounds give a corner to away fans now, we have the same corner as a prem club would get in the league, plus it’s been extended across into what are normally home seats towards the goal and extended up due to having to give us more tickets as it’s a cup game 
    But why? why not just an end?

    means there are home fans behind both goals - gives more of an advantage to the home side (I guess)

    Most teams prefer having their own fans behind both goals I guess

    If we ever fill in the SE or SW corner the first thing we'll do is make it the away corner, and redevelop the JS into a much better facilitated stand with boxes and home fans in it

    @Six-a-bag-of-nuts I would have to disagree with the above.
    You have to bear in mind getting out of the ground and the likelihood of an absolutely packed tube station.
    I used to get the tube to and from Tottenham Hale for 18 months, without dismissing what the above says.
    I think it will be like my pocket, very tight, to the point of I think you'd miss that coach.

    Isn’t it easier to use White Hart Lane station 5 minutes away? Or is this blocked for away fans? 
    Or get train back from Waterloo at 23.35 to Bournemouth if your worried about get to Victoria coach station by 23.00?

    One thing I’ve taken from this, we have less fans with high points totals than most people think. , we are down to Phase 6 now and I think sales are still not at the halfway point yet.

    Both White Hart Lane and Bruce Grove will be absolutely rammed.

    One thing I’ve taken from this, we have less fans with high points totals than most people think. , we are down to Phase 6 now and I think sales are still not at the halfway point yet. 
    The 2025/26 numbers should give a bit of a barometer into this.

    Mine said last season I attended 29 games home & away (including Chelsea) This along with renewing my season ticket and 50 bonus points placed me in the top 22%

    I am on 565 loyalty points which put me in the OR Valley Gold phase 7 for West Ham and puts me in phase 5 for Spurs. I often find myself roughly in line with the OR Valley Gold phase I sometimes think they use my points as the barometer!

    I’m sure someone could crunch some numbers out of this to estimate how many people are in the high phases. I suspect if we had a smaller allocation a lot more would have been sold by now. Could be groups of people are waiting for everyone to be eligible before purchase knowing we have nearly 6k tickets. I could get 2 now but need to wait for phase 7 to get my 4 all together. Probably lots of people in a similar scenario I expect phase 7 the infamous OR Valley Gold phase is when sales will accelerate quickly.

    I'm pretty sure the phases are designed so a decent amount of tickets are still available for the OR Valley Gold phase as often as possible, that's why it's where games often sell out

    For anybody needing to get back to Kings Cross or Victoria, realistically the best way will be a very brisk walk of 30 minutes to Seven Sisters tube station.
    If you get lucky with the buses they have bus lanes down the high road so you could get back in 15 minutes.

    Agreed, maybe something like a third for the VG phase assuming every possible ticket is sold from the earlier phases.

    We had 3k tickets for West Ham and VG = 570 points
    5.7k tickets for Spurs and VG = 530 points

    So I suspect we have around 1000 people with 570+ points and maybe ~2000 with 530+ points, something like that?

    I think we are having 2 different conversations here, let’s just shake and hand agree to disagree … 
  • Isn’t it easier to use White Hart Lane station 5 minutes away? Or is this blocked for away fans? 
    Or get train back from Waterloo at 23.35 to Bournemouth if your worried about get to Victoria coach station by 23.00? 
    Thanks mate, but there is no direct train from Waterloo to Bournemouth after 22.35.
    The service you mention, 23.35 involves a change to bus replacement at Winchester and another change at Southampton.
    Not an insurmountable problem, but without boring you with details I have had so many issues with South Western Railways recently that I don't want to have to rely on them anymore
