Spurs fans will be relieved to read today’s announcement of a freeze on season ticket prices. At a time when we are all feeling the squeeze from the cost-of-living crisis, this is very welcome.
The Trust is pleased that the Club has responded positively to our representations that prices should be frozen, and that the renewal window should be extended beyond the end of the season. This is something we have argued hard for because fans truly are the heartbeat of the Club, and we believe to ask them to pay even more to watch the team next season, would be unreasonable.
Our season tickets remain amongst the highest in the Premier League and in Europe. Football must be accessible if it is to retain its integrity as the people’s game. Many are already priced out of seeing their team play and there is a danger the match attending demographic will change for good, impacting on passion and atmosphere.
We meet regularly with the Club’s ticketing department and will continue to press the Club to ensure ticket prices do not escalate and that consideration is given to how we reward loyal fans as well as encourage a new generation of season ticket holders. We will continue to lobby for things that matter to Spurs fans including match day pricing, European group stage categorisation and packages, and the removal of booking fees.
