I don't think a membership would get you a ticket to the final, most finals have reduced allocation.
Seriously though, people spunk shitloads on memberships in the quest to get tickets for a final, when you'd get a ticket for a final on a ST. LPs don't move you any further up the list on a membership either.
I think you can, but there may be interest charges.
I get mine on a Barclayard Football Credit Card, as sponsors of the Premier League any season ticket bought on it is 0% interest. It's the only thing I use it for, apart from other Spurs tickets, but they incur small interest charges.
THFC are no mugs, especially not from a business perspective.
They have deliberately chosen to include other benefits(not just the ST waiting list) to the Bronze memberships. Most Spurs fans, even in Norway, choose the Bronze membership over the lilywhite. So what you get is a massive season ticket waiting list(bronze members) mainly filled up by people who have no intention of getting one.
So when Spurs want planning permission approval for a new stadium, or even new sponsorship deals( not to mention naming rights deal for a new stadium) they can show a nice little powerpoint presentation to companies and tell them that we have a huge waiting list, without really lying(from a legal point of view). Spurs even used this to argue that we should be given the Olympic stadium instead of West Ham.
I struggle to see how we're gonna fill 56k seats week in and week out, but then again I never thought that the goons would fill the Emirates every week, so hopefully I'm wrong this time as well.
You're right that Woolwich away is the only one that always go to ST holders every year, but every season there are at least 5-6 matches that goes to ST holders only.
Or more likely...Daniel Levy sells the club with a shiny new bowl and millions of fans waiting to buy a seat.
Before the novelty wears off...he gets top dollar, puts his feet up and spends the rest of his days counting his $$$
Fair game I guess.
I used to have a bronze membership, but it wasnt in my name, it was in my birds name, them we broke up, so I started a new one, now I'm 46'673 on the season ticket waiting list...
FORTY SIX THOUSAND, SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE.
If there are people not actually buying there season tickets, that's annoying but the more people that say no the sooner I can get mine.

Bloody hell. I guarantee that will drop around 15k next season though.
bmj's second season you could still walk up & buy a s.t!.
Levy's in a difficult situation with the new stadium and filling it. We won't come close to filling it so he might have to reduce ticket prices to help the attendances rise. But he also needs ticket prices to be high enough so that he gets his money back!
With Chelsea away I've never seen that go on sale to members?
If I was offered a ST where I wanted it to be I'd take it 100%. Paying per ticket on my membership costs me a fortune!

Hold on....I go away for a couple of days and come back to see Brigante is making threads that aren't about AVB getting the sack?
What the fuck happened to you man? I don't even know you anymore.
As for why people aren't taking up their ST allocation after being on the waiting list, it's simple, situations change.

Not sure it's as simple as situations changing, as there are shitloads of members who go to in excess of 20 games a season, also, there's many members who always had no intention of getting an ST. It's not like buying an ST is only for the rich, there are payment plans/options available to take up a ST.
It's a bit of a cop-out to only blame cost.

It did about 2/3 seasons ago for a lunchtime kick off.
It did for the 3-0 defeat and the 1-1 where Bent scored, the latter I got in on about 5 LPs! True story.
It's got to have a big factor though.
It is a factor but it's a bit simplistic to just say it's that though.

I think we may have broke him.
I don't think it is. Doesn't matter how you spread the payments out, it's still money that people haven't got at the moment.
Can't you pay off your season ticket in instalments? Surely this would work out as paying the same as a member.
I suppose, but it's probably easier to explain away to the missus.
