    I have been told that as its Tottenham's first home game and £25 they are expecting a sell out on the Spurs front 
    It's their cup final 

    No different from Millwall

    I think they will. 

    My understanding is that they are giving what they are required to give for the Carabao Cup. 
    I would imagine at £25 a ticket they are confident they can sell all other tickets to their own fans, that is understandable that they take care of their own supporters.
    They are required to give 10% which would be 6,285. Don’t think they should be allowed to hide behind a segregation argument when it’s such a new stadium. 
    There is a top tier above our allocation (which home fans wont need anyway),
    it holds 3k - no point in opening it up for sale early if it’s not needed. 

    Cops/LA been told 60k are expected, in a 70k stadium. 
    EWWAT - WGO

    62,850  is the capacity, and you will lose seats for extra segregation when giving away fans more than the usual lower tier section.
    Their record crowd in the new stadium is 62,027 v Arsenal, so that tells you how many seats are lost to segregation.

    My mate has been a season ticket holder for 52 consecutive seasons. He was told today that he has 515 loyalty points and to call back on Thursday pm. Can that be correct?
    If he’s not done any away days yes that sounds about right
    Because away fans are more important than long term home fans?

    OK staunch defenders of the scheme defend the 2 tickets per person?. 

    this is literally the only forum of a club where you arent allowed to have an opinion without some pompous reply. 
    Need to get some friends who can get you one then 
    sorted by 2pm this afternoon happy days. 
    Thank God for 2 tickets per person.
    still think its a ridiculous rule but not many seem fussed so why not abuse it 
    This.

    If it goes to general sale I'll just buy 2 & not use 1 of them. Might as well 🤷‍♂️

    Sound financial advice - buy two of something and then bin one of them without using it.

    A lot of you would do well to remember how lucky you are to even get access to away tickets - most teams have away schemes or memberships would would preclude most of you.

    Not what I was implying at all, was just answering whether I thought it sounded right lol.

    But yes if you must know I think ST holders who do away games on top should have more loyalty points for away games than those who just go to home games, it’s a fair system. We can get into subjective arguments about who’s more loyal than who but a points system is needed and I think it works as it should. As I’ve already pointed out it took the Chelsea game and one away game last season for a ST holder to be in phase 7, the same as VG

    Can’t imagine there isn’t a good view in that stadium to be honest, haven’t been so not speaking from experience.

    I’ve sat in the heavens before and the view was still good so can confirm this

    Well Wembley is new’ too but we still saw unoccupied / unsold seats. 

    I think the maximum capacity and therefore your percentage calculation may be based on no segregation limitations - say for a concert or the likes of NFL when there are no such concerns. 


    No it is the Carabao Cup rules to give the away team 10%

    I couldn't get my head round why you could buy 4 tickets per fan for West Sham and 2 per fan for this game.

    It means all the woodwormers (crawl out the woodwork "get me a ticket mate" for big games only) get tickets and many season ticket holders lose out. 

    Club needs to remember who the loyal fans are. 

    Who do we write to complain?

    It was 2 per qualifying fan for W Ham.
    It's always 2.

    There’s been some nonsense written on this thread, but congratulations for peaking with nonsense and fake facts then wanting to be the one who complains.

    Phase 4 up next at 11am. that will bring in those who have 6 away games last season to add to their 2 STs and early renewal bonus. It could get ‘interesting’ after that

    not disputing the rules. But I assume there must be some caveat regarding segregation limitations that’s all in arriving at the actual
    number. 

    Otherwise wouldn’t the club have challenged the allocation immediately?

    It seems to me that the only truly fair way of organising tickets would be to say that fans can buy multiple tickets to ensure their family can sit together, but that the loyalty points are averaged out between all the people who will be going. Of course, to do that would require accurate data for everyone and I'm pretty sure that we don't have that at the moment. Perhaps it's something the club should be working towards though. 

    I also think that those long standing season ticket holders have a good point about rewarding their chronic loyalty.  Certainly two years doesn't seem very long at all. But if that data no longer exists, I'm not sure how easily it could be reconstructed.

    Out of interest, how far should it go back, does it include breaks and what sort of priority should it merit?

    I believe they have challenged it and were given segregation as the excuse.
