Even if they took £20M per season and reduced ticket prices by 30% for u25’s? Become giveback FC and do some good for once. Been run like a low margin retailer for 25 years under mr Byrite aka Ashley 2.0, forcing every last £1 of the fans. Enough

You make a valid point and yes, if that's where the money went. I'd stomach a sponsor.
I would be surprised if they ever appear at Glastonbury. Bad blood.

When the stadium was bult there was a restriction on its use for non football l events with no more than 16 allowed per year, including a maximum of 6 music concerts pa.
In 2023 this was varied on a one-off basis, principally to allow 3 Beyonce concerts to be scheduled which would have otherwise broken the 6 concert cap.. Update on events being staged at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium | Haringey Council.
Independent studies have shown that the stadium events generate significant business/value added for the wider local community above and beyond revenues generated in the stadium for Spurs.
Spurs are in the process of applying to increase the number of non football events from 16 to 30 with public consultations commencing today.
Non footballing events held to date have included NFL, rugby union, rugby league, boxing and music concerts.

Wasn’t trying to pick holes but I do think it could be an opportunity to get creative with what it’s used for
Another option could be a charity - not for profit or something for minimal fees
I’m not at all convinced we get direct financial benefit from keeping the Tottenham stadium name
I don't think there is any financial benefit either, but I'm no business woman, just a sentimental one.
I know it will happen one day, but the longer it takes, the better IMO.
Answer-We keep Sonny at the club!
A doubling of non-football events is potentially pretty significant isn't it?
The wording suggests that there isn't a limit on footballing events. So things like Euros and World Cup Games could be staged there as many times as required?
More footballing events is great as it helps pay off the stadium so more money can be diverted towards the playing side. So I am all for it. Plus it annoys people who dont comprehend the first sentence.
Certainly very significant to go up to 30 non footballing events, almost doubling the events.
A slight surprise to me as whilst so far its clear we could hold more than the 6 concerts a year, I'm not sure we've really tested the 16 non football events yet.
I've not been able to find on the Haringey Planning site the text of any proposal to increase events, so I'm guessing that Planners want to see the feedback from public consultations before it goes to a Planning Meeting with a formal proposal which would make it clear what events other than Spurs football are allowed - together with Planning Officers recommendations.
If it happens I’d like it that the club has to hold at least two community based events there a year (if there’s demand).
Wasps rugby union are reforming and will be looking for a home.
Don’t know if I’ve mentioned this, but it’s not a new stadium.
It's second hand?
Depends what you mean by a 'community event' and what benefit you would expect - if its a concert with a well known star, the ticket sales are usually going directly to the band. So question would be whether the band were prepared to appear with much lower ticket prices - the rental of the stadium to the band is only a couple of % of ticket saes so even waiving that would not really affect ticket prices.
In terms of other 'community' events Spurs hold a job fair one or twice a year which seem fairly successful, so seem open to doing general community events.

I suspect that their regular crowd size is not suitable for a 62k stadium, they might be better off at Orient's Matchbox stadium (9, 271) for most matches and Spurs only for matches where crowds are much higher than usual - 21/22 Wasps average crowd size 9,931
Last set of accounts suggest we made £30m revenue on non football events - there 's no information on the profits on these events.
Next set of accounts to June 2023 need to be published by 31 March (ie within weeks) as you probably know
I sit right next to the premium seats, where there were hundreds of South Korean fans. My only beef with them is that they applauded the Wolves player, sorry don't know his name, when we'd just lost the game.
I'm always surrounded by tourists, some genuine fans but a fair number are just there to say they've seen a PL game (just like I'd go and see a Broadway show if I went to New York).
