The trouble is its hard to separate the club from the cunts that own it at the moment.

We all want to support the team but renewing your ST feels like rewarding failure. Certainly wouldn't judge anyone for packing it in

Would be a very different story if misfortune led to this predicament or new ownership came in.

I’m not so much talking about proper fans deciding whether or not to renew. I’m more hoping that we shed some of the plastic day trippers with their half n half scarves - although we would be something of a unique curiosity. Pricing will be very interesting to see if we retain a decent hardcore in the ground or alienate supporters even further.

Championship will separate the wheat from the chaff amongst Spurs fans. Of course I desperately don’t want it to happen. But if we go down I’m sticking with us 100% - hopefully for a complete rebuild of our club.

What do you mean by this though? Anyone unwilling to part with a grand, or a grand and a half by the time incidentals like travel are factored in, for lower league football are the "chaff"?

It's an absurd amount of money to begin with, and doubly so in the Championship.

I would be interested to know where these day trippers as you call them get their tickets?
1 Are they members because not many matches until recently have gone to General sale
2 Are they guests of ST holders or members?
3 Do they get use of the ticket as friend/family of ST holder
4 I assume that the Korean tourists got them from a Tour Company sold packages by the club but assume now Son has gone that has stopped but maybe other tourists get them in the same way.

I have not been since Covid but when I went I took either my mate Who was not a supporter but a football supporter or my wife. Neither would wear a half/half scarf. But neither would join in with singing etc.
 
I don't really get why anyone would sign up for a season ticket for the championship? Even if you still want to go you will be able to go every week anyway, it's not like we will be sold out is it? Tickets will probably be on general sale every home game
 
I’m really curious what ST prices would be in the Championship. We are in South lower ( standing ) and currently pay circa £1075…. I don’t think the club could justify more than £30/35 a game if relegated so somewhere between £690 and £805?

I agree it would be easy to get tickets, but if you like your seats and if you intend to go to most if not all games, then why not renew?

Also, they'll probably be a stampede to get STs again by all those who walked away as soon as we went down once we get back into the PL. As a new member I'd lose all my points and be at the back of the queue so may not even get an ST, certainly not one in such a good position.

I haven't decided yet if I'll renew or not if we go down. I will if at least one of my two sons wants to carry on (I pay for both tickets anyway) because I enjoy the day out (not so much this season obvs), but I probably won't if it means going alone.

If I don't renew though, that will be it and I'll walk away from football. Permanently. If I can't support my team of 50+ years through another relegation then I'm done.
 
I had a season ticket for twenty years and didn't bother renewing it two years after I moved, as I now live in Lincolnshire. I have however had a membership ever since. Spurs in their horrible snidey way give a discount to members who sign up on an auto renewal basis, which I have always done. Knowing that we are almost certainly going down I got on line and attempted to stop the auto renewal, guess what, it isn't possible. I had to end up contacting the ticket office who told me they would attempt to do it from their end, but advised I contact my bank. This is typical Spurs

If it's a standing order then the club can't cancel it. Only you can.

This. Some of us have spent years following the team around the country and don’t want to lose our points. Similarly, you might have a spot in the ground or a seat you really like, or friends / good people around you, so won’t want to lose that

The first Ticketing Points table would be interesting. It should give a fairly clear indication of renewal rate and changes to the point spread.

It will make it simpler to spot trends because it will be the Covid season points that are removed. So zero.

If we go down and prices are reduced I have a funny feeling that a lot of people who left disenchanted with the club will return in a world outside the PL bubble.

This is the same predicament I have. I only kept it this season because they persuaded me too last summer (cheers lads!). The Championship would intrigue us. We've been going to some League One games recently and they enjoy it because it is different and no VAR of course.

Cancel it on your banking app. Takes about 5 seconds. After a fortnight the club will send you a letter which you promptly chuck in the bin. Fuck them.
 
I remember hearing that a large chunk of the ticketing income is from the prawn sandwich seats (the corporates), and the club wanted to lock them into longer contracts like 5 years plus.
In that situation, I'd refuse to pay the invoice, and push back when they try to collect:
They signed up to see high stakes prem and euro football, and this is not it.
Bringing their sales prospects and clients to a game will embarrass the host and damage the relationship, hence they've lost out on the marketing appeal of the box and will have to entertain elsewhere.

Fair points.
For me personally I only have 120 points anyway and half of the home fixtures will be night matches which I hate and rarely go to as it is
