Match Ticket Thread - Spares/Requests - FACE VALUE OR LESS ONLY!

I haven’t been to a match in years. Back when I used to go regularly, you could just phone the ticket office and it was never really a problem to get seats. Times have clearly changed.

I’m doing the stadium tour on Friday 29th November and we play Newcastle on the Saturday. I’ve seen that ticketing is now basically through ballots and for members only. Does that mean I’ve got pretty much zero chance of getting tickets?

I’ve looked at the premium tickets at £125 each — there would be three of us (me, my wife and our 11-year-old daughter) — and £375 just to watch the match feels steep. Do tickets often make it through the ballots and go to generalsale?

I understand. I am an "oldie" too. It seems unfair, especially to the likes of me (maybe you?) who endured (survived) the Boys' Pen and later the dangerous aways in gthe 70s and 80s. BUT, we had to move on.Yes, times have changed. We have US owners now and that is, though not ideal, sadly, the way forward. "If you can't beat them, join them" as they say. So, I think you should just pay it and go, because that is how it is going to be from now on. If you can get premium tickets now for 125 quid, then get them. It might get worse, more costly.

its pretty hard to get a ticket without a membership. they won’t go to general sale.

if you get a 30 pound membership each you have a decent chance on resale though i think spurs has proved less fruitful for thst than the other games. it also means you can go in for other games later if you plan to, but its no guarantee and of course adds up with a £60-75 ticket

easiest way to get tickets without membership is getting spares from people who have bought them one off. need a membership now even for the transfer of a season ticket

long winded way of saying if you want 3 tickets together for one game and not going again for a while, then yeah do seat unique

its horrible that part of our allocation is going to that though, rather than just being available to supporters

Season ticket holders can send tickets to people with memberships too, just need to add their membership to your friends and family. Should work out cheaper too, I think my season ticket works out at £40 a game.
 
Thanks for the replies — they’ve been really helpful. As has been pointed out, the premium tickets are probably my best option. I’d look at memberships, but realistically I wouldn’t get enough use out of them given my circumstances.

Like many others, I’ve noticed the blocks of empty seats at games on TV, and it does feel a bit unfair that these can’t be released to general sale. It doesn’t affect me directly, but for people who live nearby and are in a better position to attend regularly, it would give them a fair chance.

I think part of me is still stuck in the mindset of 90s ticket prices, but my wife is probably right when she says, “you don’t know when you’ll get another chance to go.”

Anyway — thanks again for all the advice.
 
I have one ticket available for the Spurs game on Sunday 26th October. Same issue as I had last year - I’ve done my back in again so can’t travel up for the game 🙁
Ticket is in East Upper stand - face value £75.
DM me if interested
