The percentage of season ticket renewals was as high or in fact slightly higher than they were for White Hart Lane, so whilst you might believe that
many old Skool supporters, local fans and the younger generation have been priced out the fact is either that's simply not true or more realistically they'd already been priced out many years ago ... season tickets are for the wealthy, a season ticket is 1,000 quid but that's just a small part of the cost, if you use that season ticket 20 times a year and spend 25 quid on travel, food, beer etc that's another 1,000 quid plus 20 days when you won't be working or with your family. That commitment requires wealth or dedication ... probably both.
To argue that this is new is flawed, back in the 80's when we were pretty poor we still had a season ticket waiting list, despite all the price increases that list remains huge ... remember the Trust saying we'd struggle to sell the expensive season tickets? sold out in days ... supply and demand
If the club reduced the price by 30% all that would happen is that the 'grey' market would take that 30% as profit not the club (as happens in Germany) again that's just supply and demand. The only way prices will come down is if fans stop going, just like West Ham, but that's simply not happening at Spurs, not unless the wheels fall off, the chassis breaks, and the engine blows up .....
Real Madrid had 60,000 average in their 81,000 stadium last season, cheap tickets are simply because fans don't turn up, supply and demand in reverse ... all big games are still massively expensive.
Bayern Munich charge an average for seated season tickets of 700 Euros and they are always 100% sold out. No local fans or younger generation have a hope in hell of getting a ticket if they're not a season ticket holder or a lifelong member, the ticket partner mark up is always massive, right now Mainz tickets start at 1,049 and go up to over 8,500 ...
