The Trust has launched the next part of its #StopExploitingLoyalty campaign to call on the Club to reverse its decision to end new senior concessions and phase out the discount for existing ticket holders.
We’re asking all members and supporters to sign and share our Change.org petition, which will be presented to the Club, Premier League, and the Secretary of State for Culture, Media, and Sport, Lisa Nandy.
Martin Buhagiar, Chair of the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust, wrote in our campaign press release:
This misguided policy impacts the most loyal, long-term supporters, many of whom are on low, fixed incomes. It also sets a dangerous precedent in terms of other groups currently receiving concession season tickets, namely young adults and children.
The Club receives the bulk of its income from television broadcasting rights and has recently been granted permission to use the stadium for 30 non-football events so there should be no need to penalise fans financially in this way.
The petition calls on the Club specifically to deliver the following:
- Reverse the removal of new senior concession season tickets
- Reverse the proposed decrease in concession to those who have hitherto received the senior concession season ticket
- Apply the concession rate to senior season tickets regardless of where they are located in the stadium
- Protect the concession rates on young adult and child season tickets.
Only with the continued and collective support across our fan base, can we convince the Club to roll back these changes and #StopExploitingLoyalty. We are asking all fans to support this campaign by:
- Sign the Change.org petition here and make your voice heard
- Share this page and the Change.org petition with your fellow Spurs fans
- Send in your thoughts and experience as a fan, if this directly impacts you, to info@thstofficial.com
We’d love to share your story on our website and social media to remind the Club of how this unfair change in policy is punishing lifelong supporters. Please include a short account of how these unfair cuts will affect you, and if possible, please include a photo too!
As we heard from many of you when this decision was originally announced, there are so many fans who have supported our Club home and away for decades and decades who will now be priced out of following the team they love.
In light of wider ticket price increases also announced earlier this year by the Club, the question we should all be asking ourselves is which supporters will be next to priced out of following the team they love?
