Season Tickets - 2024/25 | Average increases of 5% despite record profits

[There is a Light]

They have given example prices for the stand, but also said that the prices are illustrative only, it's not clear how close to those figures it will actually end up being to attend that amount of games. What's to stop them deciding half way through the season to up the Flexi prices each game to make the total price far more than this 'illustrative' price. There would be nothing anyone on the Flexi could do apart from skip games if the individual match prices became too much. This lack of clear information makes it very difficult to plan costs for the season, it could end up being a gamble.

It’s a sad, sad state of affairs that we have this level of distrust in the club. It wasn’t that long ago when supporters genuinely had a good relationship with the likes of Danny Wilson. There was a feeling that they were there not only to generate profits, but also to deliver engagement with the core fanbase. That all seems to have gone in the space of a couple of years and there’s seemingly nothing off the table in the relentless drive for increased revenue.

The list below shows the highly competitive, target driven environment they’re working in and it gives some kind of insight into why they are flogging hospitality tickets for £500 for the biggest matches of the season, giving new match day members the opportunity to enter a lottery with members with years of match going history

It’s probably a reflection of the state of football and another negative impact of the toxic FFP rules, rather than solely the clubs greed, but there has to be a way that they can deliver their profits without continuously alienating the core fan base.

It’s also why a North Stand redevelopment that prioritises fans and atmosphere,with a release of new reasonably priced season tickets is a pipe dream. It’s just not the clubs priority any more.

where you hear this? I know Spurs have just done away with theirs.

Honestly, don't set too much store by it at this point. It really is through a friend who picked it up. I shouldn't have posted it, really. All I do know is that I couldn't pay the full adult fee any more, especially since I don't have the direct debit option (they don't have it for people who live abroad, and who only have an account in their country of residence).

Imagine being a Spurs fan and paying an average of 92€ per match! To watch Son Heung-Min and then a bunch of also-rans.

That looks like the average of their cat a adult prices, with STs and every other ticket being less, so must be skewed by hospitality.

The FA cup game v us was a lot less, pinch of salt needed.

I think Spurs said they were not going to offer new FOC tickets. Implying they would continue to offer discounts to those who already benefitted.

No new over 65 concessions from summer 2025. Existing over 65s will have their discount reduced by 5% a season until it gets to 25%.

City won't get rid of it but you can see it being aligned with the 18-21 cat as it is for single matchday tickets. The the pitch side it is already the same.

It's already that in the middle section of SS3 where I am and the back section too. Over 65 and 18-21 exactly the same

Yeah all the ones under £700 are the same, the ones over have a £100/£110 difference.
