Spurs, FOC season tickets & other ticket conditions

Sounds like a standard CL night. I'm up in EL3 and as we are walking up the Spiral, me and my mate always have a bet if there will be tourist in our seats...90% of the time we are proved right.
Same here 5 Eastern Europeans in ours on Wednesday I’m in row P theirs was PP took me ages to point all this out to them fell just short of escorting them to their seats ffs
 
I’ve been in all 3 cup schemes since they started sacked 2 and started in CL due to pressure from my son I went to Porto but not Istanbul he was furious and almost bullied me to keep in it if only for Wembley he even booked a night in Jury Leonardos Watford in preparation. Whatever the outcome I won’t we in it next season
We (my younger brother and me) are very fortunate that his son lives in Acton in a large 3 bedroom house.
And he is very hospitable and enjoys it when family members stay at his house.
We stayed overnight there for the semi -final and the final last season. So if City make it to Wembley this season our free accommodation is already booked.
 
Spurs have just published their 'Ticketing Charter' and there's a few things in there of interest.

  • They won't be issuing any new discounted over-65 tickets as from next season, and they're gradually whittling down the discount on existing tickets from 50% to 25% over the next five years. The rationale is that they have four times the number of over-65 season ticket holders than they used to have and it's costing them money.
  • Season tickets will have to be utilised a minimum of 15 times over a season or will be subject to non-renewal.
  • They will be actively auditing the issuing of away tickets. Allocations are based on points over a rolling 5 year period. They say that 80% of tickets go to general admission season ticket holders, which is the same as us if you add the 20% of OSC tickets into the supposed 60% we get.
Ferran Soriano will be all over the FOC one I bet, assuming they get away with it.
He's already all over it IMHO. Based on our averaged out seasoncard match price my son's adult ticket for the Toon Cup Tie has reduced by a tenner whereas my FOC seat has increased by a tenner (we sit together).
Glaringly obvious what's going on -- drive out the FOC's and replace us with big spending, half & half scarf wearing tourists.

We wont do anything about it, this is what happens when you want success it's a biproduct that HAS to happen it's an inevitable consequence.

What that means really is the Mancunians for well over a century have built a product and now that product wont involve many of the legacy fans that built it, in a couple of years they will move it all out of the country because nowt left of it will be Mancunian.
