 We have a treat in store for those of you not at Craven Cottage on Sunday – and one which will help the Annie to boot! You’re invited to an exclusive live screening of our away match with Fulham on Sunday 20th January, in the company of the Club’s legendary former captain, Gary Mabbutt.  Updates on:

Both games are Category C-IR matches, with police wearing level 2 uniform with baseball caps, as is normal for a derby. There will be 30 Spurs stewards present at Sunday's league game, increasing to 45 for the Cup match on 19 December, clearly identifiable in yellow tabards. Both games have sold out.  Updates on:

In line with normal practice, both sides have agreed this is an accurate representation of discussions.
This is a long read, with an accompanying document setting out in detail the proposals THST made on concessionary pricing. Please take the time to read both documents carefully before raising any questions. We will be holding a members meeting on 12 March, please keep an eye on your inboxes and our website for details, at which issues arising from this report can be discussed. In the meantime, we’ll do our best to answer any questions you have within the constraints of our available time as volunteers. Season Ticket prices for Tottenham Hotspur’s year at Wembley Stadium have been announced today by the Club. THST has been discussing pricing for our year at Wembley with THFC for some time. So now we want to set out clearly what we lobbied for, and make our position clear on what has been announced.
We are pleased that fans will once again not be facing real increases in the price of their Season Tickets, and that top-line prices are lower than this year. Our minimum objective was ticket price parity and that has been achieved and, in most cases, exceeded. However, we have mixed feelings about the overall packages on offer and would have expected the pricing to have been more in line with the proposals we submitted last month. In brief, the headline developments are: • No Season Ticket seat at Wembley will cost more than the equivalent price at White Hart Lane, accounting for the loss of two cup games. The majority will cost less • Every Season Ticket holder will have the choice to move into a seat at the price point they prefer, starting at £695 • Up to 18,000 new Season Tickets will be opened up to the waiting list giving Bronze members the opportunity to start their Season Ticket life this summer • Concessions for Juniors and Seniors will apply throughout the stadium However, once the loss of two cup games, extra travel costs for many fans, and the more expensive facilities at Wembley are factored in, any reduction in the cost of attending a match for the majority of General Admission fans is negligible. We would have liked the Club to have gone further. However, our dialogue with the Club has resulted in some significant concessions being secured from the original proposals we were presented with, demonstrating the value of those discussions. Let’s look at the key points in more detail.  Updates on:
 As part of the Twenty’s Plenty campaign, fans successful in getting tickets to the away Premier League game at Leicester City on 18 May 2017 will be able to claim up to £10 of the price of their match ticket back.
The ground-breaking initiative is possible thanks to a partnership between Virgin Media and the Football Supporters’ Federation that subsidises the cost of all tickets down to £20 at a single away fixture for all Premier League clubs.  Here’s some information for fans ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea. We understand the Club will also be issuing advice and information before the game, so please keep an eye on the Club website.
With time short and both sets of supporters familiar with Wembley Stadium, reps from fan groups, the police, Wembley National Stadium Limited and the clubs opted not to meet but instead to share the messages through the channels available.  In November, representatives of the Chelsea Supporters' Trust, Spirit of Shankly, THST and the Football Supporters' Federation met with senior Executives from Sky Sports to discuss the impact of the rescheduling of Premier League matches for broadcast on match going fans, particularly away supporters. A further meeting was held on 22 February, with comment to follow.

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club Board to Board Meeting Minutes and Report Tuesday 28 February 2017 Tottenham Hotspur Football & Athletic Co Ltd, Lilywhite House, 6pm  Updates on:
New Spurs Stadium Away travel: Sunderland and Liverpool FA Cup pricing and sales mechanism Premier League Trusts Meeting with Supporters Direct TV fixtures and broadcast picks Home ballots and half season memberships Catering  On 16 November THST reps Martin Cloake, Kevin Fitzgerald and Katrina Law attended a meeting at Stamford Bridge along with officials from both clubs, the Metropolitan police, British Transport Police, local council and reps from the Chelsea Supporters' Trust to discuss the game this weekend.
 With ticketing at Spurs such a hot topic, we were delighted to secure the most senior ticketing executive at THFC – Ian Murphy (IM) - as a guest speaker for our latest Members’ Meeting. This took place on Tuesday evening, 15 November, in the function room of the William Blake pub on Old Street. Around 50 Trust members took the opportunity to question Ian on ticketing specifics in person with several others sending questions in advance on email.
THFC’s Head of Supporter Services, Jonathan Waite (JW), was also on hand to respond to any broader, customer service questions. The meeting was chaired by Trust co-chair Martin Cloake (MC) with fellow co-chair Kat Law (KL) explaining the Trust position on several issues during the discussions. It was a lively event and we’ve tried to include as much detail as possible in this report. |
