Season tickets: renewing or not?

[markiespurs]

Renewed my season ticket a couple of weeks ago

Give me 5 grand and I'll sort it out for you.

How much of cut are you taking

Anyone who took advantage of the pay monthly scheme double check that it has all gone through correctly. When i renewed online i noticed that another member in my ticket group was still showing available. When i chased him about it he thought that he had renewed. It turned out that the finance company rejected him but did not let him know. He is all sorted now. Lucky I checked as he may of missed out.

Two West Stand Uppers renewed. The deed was done last night.

Another year of pain awaits. When will we learn

How much are the prawn sanwiches these days ?

If only mate, I just have inventive ways of justifying the outlay to myself (for instance, if I was a heavy smoker and smoked, say, a 20 packet a day, I'd be spending more than double a year on cigarettes than I do on my seat at Spurs).

My only problem with this is the notion that prawns are in any way posh!

Now piss off you commoners!

I went to Wigan v QPR last week, £20 a ticket, no handling fee, no administration fee, no postage fee, no blatant rip off fee. I was emailed the ticket, printed it off and turned up at the turnstile on the day. Just shows that it can be done. The modern day football fan is being taken for an absolute ride and the bubble will burst sooner or later.

It's not just spurs though, i got some tickets for a gig the other day. Something like £8.50 each plus a £1.20 booking fee per ticket and then my postage options were post £2.50 or print at home £2.50! Charged £2.50 to print my own ticket! All these companies (except Wigan/QPR) do what they can to squeeze extra out of you. As for renewals i am a member and the £50 is always worth it even if i only get to a few games as Arsenal, Chelsea Utd etc all no chance without membership. Still about 10000 away from a ST despite being on the waiting list for about 7 years - it just does not move

I actually went backwards the season before last, how the f*** does that work?

They obviously don't like you. Probably all that info you keep revealing . The sacrifices you make for feeding SC ITK!

It was implied when Roy Keane said it

And I don't know, I don't get any of the stuff in the ground, burger van outside all day long!

 

[jambreck]

I gave mine up last season i just go to as many away games as possible now.I went to a a few home games but didn't feel the same as a few years ago,if I'm honest though i wish i had renewed going to be a long time until i get the chance to get one again.

If the new stadium really is built by 2017, I reckon that most of those on the waiting list who genuinely do want a season ticket will get one.

 

[jambreck]

Seriously? Since 1988 and NOW he gets pissed off?

i'll wager he's grumbling but will renew!

Agreed.

However, I understand what he means. Even though the football was often dire back in the 90's and early noughties, it was still fun going to Spurs. Maybe it's just because we're older now but I think it's also got a lot to do with the deteriorating atmosphere at the Lane.

 

[jambreck]

Yeah I thought the same thing, but it's a piss take with all online ticketing, not surprised Spurs are doing it as well!

Even though I feel quite cynical about Spurs these days I still renewed last week, same price as yours, East Lower. Where do you sit Jambreck?

Block 27, row 17. Almost on the halfway line.

Great view. Shit atmosphere.

How about you?

 

[marion52]

Never in doubt that I would renew my ST

 

[jambreck]

Been working in Paris the last 3 years, so haven't manage to get to many games, Now I'm moving to Norfolk, so the combination of Paris and Norfolk and I will struggle to get to any games, so after 18 years, I will give mine up..

Ha!

In the past few years, we've lost two season ticket holders from our group - one who moved to Paris and another who moved to Norfolk.

Agreed.

It's not as if there's even any postage involved for those renewing. We keep the same cards that we've had for the past couple of seasons!

Block 28 row 11. Not far!

As you say, great view, atmosphere not the best.

Renewed my ST last night, can never give it up cos I won't get it back. Despite this average season and buying a flat the thought of not renewing never crossed my mind, it might piss me off sometimes but I still love going every other week.
