It's a deeply flawed system in that you have to pick a price ceiling, rather than being able to individually select the areas of the ground you would like to sit/stand in, so you'll get Park Lane regulars who want to make a bit of noise being given tickets in the Paxton and vice versa. It wouldn't have been difficult to implement a system like that, and I believe the THST asked the club early on in the season to reconsider and change it accordingly.
For the first 10 games or so the number of applicants was only marginally higher than the number of tickets available that it makes you wonder if the ballot was even necessary except for the last handful of games. I suspect had they done that there would be less people frustrated about their chances (or lack of) to go to WHL for the last time and savour it for that reason.

I was unsuccessful in the Everton ballot and just got an email from the club offering a ticket for the match due to cancellations. Too short notice for me to go, and luckily managed to get Southampton tickets, but why so many cancellations?
It seems as though people are applying who have no real intention of actually going. Same thing happened for the Swansea game. Feel sorry for the real fans who haven't got anything in the ballot.

Got same message and sickening that it appears so many tickets all over the stadium suddenly became available.
Similarly failed in ballot but was fortunate that my son and I were given use of a friends season ticket as they couldn't go. However, my other son who normally comes with us has still not got ticket.

Are the ballots open to all or for members only?

Members only. You could go out and buy a half season membership though and have the same chance at getting a ticket as me, who has had a membership since the 90's!

I've been a member on and off for years, but currently off due to living in the north and being a poor student!Members only. You could go out and buy a half season membership though and have the same chance at getting a ticket as me, who has had a membership since the 90's!
Will have a look at the membership options though, as I'd love to go one last time, and take the old man too...

Too late for that. The ballot's already closed for every remaining match bar Arsenal and Man United, which are done on loyalty points. If you want to go now you'll have to pay for a second-hand ticket.I've been a member on and off for years, but currently off due to living in the north and being a poor student!

It's annoying as I booked holiday off, applied for Everton, got declined, cancelled my holiday and then got offered tickets 2 days before the bloody match so too late to sort anything out. Bit of a nonsense way of doing it really.
how do u that...Members only. You could go out and buy a half season membership though and have the same chance at getting a ticket as me, who has had a membership since the 90's!

You can try Stubhub but you'll have to pay quite a bit more than face value - and unless you're loaded it won't happen for either of the final two matches. You can also follow HotspurTickets on Twitter and hope to find something on there

Thanks for the tips - just followed the HotspurTickets and will have a look at stub hub. I'm looking at the Watford and Bournemouth games specifically, so hopefully they'll be less crazily prices than Arsenal and Utd!

I got one for Watford for 60 quid (excluding fees) in block 32. Most of them were going about 125 in the North Stand, so I am pretty happy with that.

Does anyone know if the Bournemouth tickets have been decided yet? Normally I check on the day and see if my loyalty points have changed, regardless of if they email.
Wondering if I've been unsuccessful or if they just haven't been decided yet..
Cheers gang
EDIT - or I could have just waited for people to reply to Hughy my bad, haha.
