    Just got my spurs ticket through - keep eye on inboxes

    I've just tried to get my Spurs tickets and am disgusted to find that they've sold out.
    Ok I missed all the stages but it's not my fault.
    I shall be consulting my solicitor first thing in the morning.

    Did he get a spare ?
    It just so happens that my solicitor is in VG and got me a ticket when they went on sale yesterday at 11am.
    He estimated there were thousands left when VG only priority opened.

    He's also a S/T who went to 6 aways last season so could have got them on Tuesday.
    When Phase 7 began (530+ points OR VG) there were a handful of seats left in the lower tier ... but the middle tier (Blocks 420-424) didn't look like they were opened up until then so there was probably a minimum of a couple of thousand seats on offer.

    I went down to the TO yesterday for 11 am sale. As I thought if there were any problems online, I would be able to get the tickets from the TO. Did the same last week and got 2 on my phone and left the queue, I was 3rd inline.
    Yesterday I was after 6, so waited in the queue, all sorted by 4 minutes past 11. Asked the question how many we had sold, was told 3.5k put that figure was raising  very fast. 

    I had a quick look around the shop and was about to leave when one of our group was struggling to get tickets, I said I would get another two, he sent me his fan ID and I got two more tickets,  left The Valley at 11:17. It seems a hassle free way  of getting tickets.

    Mine have arrived, it says to print them on A4, would have thought you would be able to scan from your phone.

    I always go down to the ticket office to buy tickets, i always have all the details written on a piece of paper of the people i'm buying for, ID numbers, age categories, etc & have found staff very efficient.

    I think your missing the point - nobody is criticising the ticket office or the lack of information - we are just saying that the rules - the 2 tickets (one of which could be going to anybody), needs looking at.

    Yes I know there were thousands left.
    My solicitor told me.

    if changing vg priority, i would imagine it would be from next season but as i fully believe if you remove the level of priority vg gets then you would see a reduction in numbers renewing. the only other way to do it would be a chunk of points for vg members at the start of each season.

    Well if anything it's got people talking about the issue, with some good takes on how we got here in the first place. A few people have asked or stated that I should have got my tickets at 11.00 and I did contact the ticket office the day before to find out when I could apply for a ticket, I was probably stupid not to think that there would be 400 left, so I agree with that statement. As for the club, I don't think they are running the ticketing this way out of malice, I just think it's the way it's always been done, I still maintain that the legislation brought in 2024 may well have an impact on this system, and I will let people know the response from the club, Carlie at Valley Gold is adding it to the agenda for their September meeting so we will see what their take is on it
    Why did you need to contact the ticket office, when the details were clearly displayed on the website ?
    It is fairly obvious that you very rarely attend an away game.

    https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/ticketing-information-tottenham-hotspur-trip
    Or that I wanted to double check as I am not used to that system and the last away game I attended was Oxford last season. Do you dismiss people the same way who don't attend home games ? There is quite a few on here, also the closest games to me are Spurs and West Ham, oddly enough, because of the high speed train, I'm 68, I'm six foot, my first game at the Valley was in 68 home to Huddersfield, my father died when I was 14 of Pancreatic Cancer, my Mother died of Alzheimers in her seventies, I went to St Andrews and the battle of the bridge, I was at Selhurst for all of our games, oh I missed the Derby home game when Ray Treacy scored because I had tonsillitis, but I was right behind Ray Crawford at Den. Anything else you would like to know about me that would prevent my attempt at attending a game to see my favourite football team ? 

    Totally unnecessary as is most of your ranting.
    You had priority at 11am on Thursday and there were thousands of tickets available to buy then.
    For reasons that you have kept to yourself (your choice) you didn't.
    You then wait until the thousands available to purchase sell out and start ranting about taking legal action.
    You couldn't make it up.
    As someone said Charlton's Stuwall.

Valley Gold and season tickets should always come second to actual proven attendance at away games.

    Someone called you out on your nonsense and then you resort to the above message, the language is completely uncalled for.

    Christ, just leave things as they are until we’re in the prem - then we can compete with corporates, day trippers, away fans in home areas ect.


  • Can you scan phone at turnstyles or do we need to print ?
    sorry if it’s already been asked, I haven’t read through.

    I've asked the same thing, also very strange that the tickets are CAFC ones.

    Done all that, over all these years and yet still can't work out how to buy a ticket to an away game. Strange.

    Think we are just going round in circles now, might be worth drawing a line under it for now and picking it back up early December before the Millwall game.

    Condescending cunt you absolute charmer
    maybe but that was a great post - up there with viewfinders for me and - i'm not having a pop at either Bailey or Clive, just thought it was such a great ending  :D
    Thankyou DOUCHER, I think might be best to wrap it up now, I don't need to type any more, I've said my piece. 
    probably for the best today - what you've said makes abundant sense to me 
    Calling a fellow poster a c*** in two posts doesn’t make any sense. There’s no need for it!

    Clive is super helpful and puts all the details up to explain stages etc
    if he could just keep reposting for all the big games with the various stages of entry criteria every 5 minutes then it will help no one miss their entry point ,

    The Loyalty Point scheme is not really designed to work with Valley Gold, if it was a stand alone scheme, it would work fine.
    The ticket phases would be just points & only people who have the required points in each phase could purchase tickets, in other words one ticket for each qualifying person.
    This is how nearly every other clubs schemes work.
    Unfortunately for Valley Gold i fear any changes to the points scheme would seriously damage the Valley Gold membership numbers.

    I feel left out now.
    I only received one email with my two tickets on it.
    Is it because I got mine through Valley Gold 🤔

    Strange these tickets have Charlton imagery on them, you would think spurs would send their own tickets.
