But not all 42k would be sold, I'm assuming,.🤷

So let's say half are sold, which even then seems too much, and let's say the club received £5 on every transaction (I've literally no idea how much they get) that works out at @ £100k.

For that minimal amount it's not worth the bad PR.

Just to be clear this isn't a "defending Levy" thing, I'm genuinely struggling to understand the reasoning behind it.🤷🤷

If the club were receiving all the monies I'd get it, but they're not.
Yeah it’s a strange one for sure
 
fag packet maths time, average or £5 raise for members and 20k members tickets sold per game is £100k extra for the club , 19 home games £1.9 million extra profit generated by those raises which in the grand scheme of things is fuck all
 
So are the facts as follows:

- With 42k season ticket holders able to recoup the full cost of the ticket, season ticket holders will benefit more from the increase in price than the club

- THFC one of just three clubs not raising season ticket prices in the PL

- A rise in Cat A games from £62 to £78 now means that someone who was previously able to afford 5 cat A games can now afford 4.

???

Easiest way to look at is is that over 50% of Spurs fans didn’t want to be in the ECL this season.

Last time we were in that competition we got knocked out early and still made £10m from UEFA.

We might make £4m back on raising prices for members?
Who will also have a much lower chance of getting tickets overall as we don’t have European games.

Cause and effect. Players get paid if they are playing 2 games a week or 1. Or none….. turkeys voted for Christmas.
 
I'm an aussie who lives in NZ so technically I am a "foreigner Aussie" that you're looking down your nose at.

I also flew over to watch Spurs twice last season at great cost to my wallet and liver. Im sure you have no issue with that but I have an issue with anybody who thinks one section of the fanbase deserves to get rinsed because they are foreign. Jesus wept.

Did you start supporting us the start of last month?

Yes I look down on you.

I expect hundreds of not thousands of London
Aussies to Rock up at the lane to support Ange.
I have zero issue then paying more. Those that are not spurs fans they are just tourists.

You are a long term supporters of spurs?
Join the club. We pay high prices. That’s being Spurs. Especially now when we have the newest most expensive stadium in the world.

Football is a global sport and we have a global fanbase. Dan from Edmonton North London is competing with Bruce from Sydney for tickets now.
Bruce will happily pay more.

I even know an ST holder from Texas. Fucking Texas.

I’m confused. You say, rightly, that football is a global sport and Spurs has a global fan base.

But when overseas Spurs supporters like NewZealand_Spur show up to games, you call them tourists and are happy for the club to fleece them.

What am I missing?

Are you stupid?

I have zero problem with the fans we have picked up this summer paying more.

They are here on this board. They exist.

“Hi I’m blah blah. Follow English football a bit. I want to tell you how great Ange is. The bestest manager ever. Can’t wait to see how he does. “

Those guys. Fuck em.

Also since going back to WHL 50% of the time I have been surrounded by tourists. From all around the world. These guys will always pay more as it’s a one off thing.

And we only have 8k tickets per league game for those members. 150k + of them.

So I’m just happy that 42k season ticket holders are not paying anymore in a cost of living crisis.
 

Nice.

OK. I think I have the sense of how your mind is working on this.

Occam’s razor, the simplest reason is most likely the correct one. It is about money. As others have pointed out multiple times, it’s not an amazing amount of money, but there are thousands of other regular game tickets available each game. It’s the money.

They probably knew that raising season tickets would be suicide this year, so they did what they could get away with. If we have a good one this year, expect them to jump next year.

You're probably right but 8 still can't get my head around it.

So much bad PR for so little gain.
It's ridiculous if that is the reason.
