Yeah it’s crazy expensive to take a family to spurs now.
Non league clubs do appreciate your money a lot more so going to watch non league is a win win in that sense.
And I hope they do the family tickets for the EL games. Taking my mum, dad son and nephews to games used to be very doable.
Different times I guess. Life moves on.
They got bought by Saudi and so ENIC expects them to spend money and be good?
The extra income is probably around £80k.
Difference between a Cat A and a Cat C, which is what we're talking about with the 6-9-4 v 5-9-5 models is a roughly 50% cost increase C->A.
The extra income is much more than £80k. More likely £1.5M+

For one game? That might be true if you include ST but I reckon there are only 8k members tickets - what’s the difference in B to A? Times that by 8k
I wasn’t talking about the 6% across all
Games
The ST price is calculated on the balance of A, B, C pricing - you can't just exclude ST income from the additional income 6-9-4 brings vs. 5-9-5. Then you have the hospitality and premium tickets, which have similar % increases.
And there are ~45k ST holders, so there's 17k+ members tickets. Those alone are probably an additional ~£500k for the single match.
You have forgotten away supporters and corporate plus tickets the clubs gives to sponsors players etc etc
So 8k members tickets per game maximum seems about right.
Yes, it’s only 7-8k for members.
I did indeed leave out the away allocation, but that still only chisels it down to ~14k seats after ST holders. There are certainly not 6k comp tickets, that would be 10% of the ground. There's likely 1k comp tickets at the most if I had to guess.
Anyway, the larger point still stands in that you cannot exclude STs from the additional revenue of the extra Cat A match - its built into the ST pricing model.
What are you disagreeing with, Ex Park Lane.... this is literally just a post of facts.
Getting tickets as a OH+ member was incredibly frustrating last season, and almost impossible if you wanted to take one of your kids.
Next season I'll probably spend more time going to watch my nearest non-league club - £15 for both of us and 5 mins travel instead of 2hrs.
Will still get to 2 or 3 Spurs games but I'm not willing to waste 2-3hrs trying to get tickets via the ticketing site every time - will just roll the dice on Ticket Exchange.

Didn’t realise I had , removed!
We're already set to have another 3-4 home games more than last season - Hopefully more like 10, so it should be far easier to get tickets.
One magnificent day I will log onto the forum to find that you've finally been perm-binned.
Edit: Lol at the disagrees from the non-spurs fans and supporters of racists and homophobes.

That’s just not true - 1k? You been? The east has that many in one lounge easily
Yeah, and I'm usually in town on Thursday for work so that's a plus side of Europa League qualification. Hopefully those games reduce demand for weekend fixtures too as its the Junior seats that are really, really hard to get.
Not everyone in a lounge is being comped. If you think ENIC are giving away 6k seats a match, you're out of your mind.
There's premium tickets for sale for every single match, and often they're gobbled up by tourists because it's the easiest way to get a bloc of tickets for a group. When clubs build new stadiums they don't build out suites and lounges and "premium experiences" as giveaways - they're installed because they're more lucrative than regular seats.
And those premium tickets, too, are price scaled per category. So, yeah, they count in the additional revenue created by an extra Cat A match.
Always entertaining to see some of the criticism of ENIC - if the difference between the extra Cat A match was £80k it's silly to believe Levy would give it to the THST as a stick to beat him with. He's almost certainly picked up dinner cheques in his life which cost more than that. In reality, if that were the gap from Cat C to Cat A in terms of revenue, then they wouldn't even categorize matches.
And a good few of their hardcore fans on here will no doubt be fucking off with them.
