Who has put their application in for the Woolwich game? Which band is everyone choosing? Went with West upper for best chance. Do not want to miss this game at all, especially for my Dad who does not have as many LPs.

Went with the £71 bracket (everything except West Upper). Cannot justify spending £80 on a football ticket. I've got over 260 LPs so I'll be surprised if I don't get a ticket. Can imagine a lot of folks will refuse to pay more than £60 for a game which is on TV so the LPs required may be lower than expected but most are forecasting a cut-off between 160 and 180 points.

Pretty sure I know the answer, but hoping someone has had this situation and can confirm for sure.

If I apply for 2 tickets, and one has enough LP's and the other doesn't...the one with enough still gets a ticket, right?

I'm on 181 LP's so it's twitchy bum time I think!

You are correct. Effectively the applications for each member are separate, but by applying as a group you are applying for all successful applicants within the grouped application to be seated together.

Went for £71 but will probably do the £81 for Utd. Do not want to miss last ever game for the sake of an extra tenner. Unless Arsenal cut off is far less than expected

202 LP for my dad and 192 for me. Fairly confident of tickets but we will see

Wish Spurs would update the LP more regularly. Could probably work out where the cut off point would be. Last update was the 7th February.

There's only been two ballots announced since then, so it's not going to be massively different. If every member applies the cut off will be in the 150-199 bracket (which admittedly is a pretty wide range, but I'd guess anyone with 180+ should be alright.)

Hang on, pretty sure league ballots are random and LPs don't come into it?

If you have enough points you are guaranteed the opportunity of a ticket. No reason to put west upper as bracket if it's not your first choice. Worst case you end up having to buy a more expensive ticket if they can't fit you in a lower prices stand initially.

Not category A games, they are done by LP

Thanks - hadn't appreciated that. And not sure how that works in combination with only specifying the most you're prepared to pay.

I'm on 194 so fingers crossed.

So if you make the cut and there's none in your chosen bracket you'll be asked if you want a more expensive one?

Just seen this in the official FAQ:

When submitting an application, members will still be asked to specify an upper limit they are willing to accept for match tickets. As detailed in Answer 10 below, if a member opts to limit the price range they are willing to be considered for when they submit an application they will potentially reduce their chances of success. The Loyalty Point cut off that is announced for each Category A home match will not guarantee a ticket in the event that a member has limited the ticket price that they are willing to accept.

Seems West Upper is the way to go for this game then, provided you're prepared to pay the £££

So on that basis, someone with less loyalty points than me could potentially get a ticket because they are willing to sit in West Upper?

I chose based on my preferred seats, rather than price. Might have to change my application

Completely undermines the idea of giving priority based on loyalty points if someone with less points can get a ticket just because they're willing to spend £81.

From a purely selfish point of view, I'm hoping a lot of people do this.


Sadly for me, I'm not going to be guaranteed a ticket. This is the only way I'll get one.

I have only 109 loyalty points, suspect getting bummed by stub hub will be the only chance I have of going to this game, glad I've already got some under my belt this season! I'll be accepting an £81 limit for Manchester United for the best chance of going, but still seems unlikely. Interestingly though If memory serves, wasn't the cut off for Chelsea about 50 LPs?

Correct re: Chelsea

Everyone is basing their assumption off of this - http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/membership/loyalty-points/

You could, perhaps incorrectly, assume nearly every member will apply for the last NLD or last ever game at WHL. That tables shows over 4k members have over 200 loyalty points and with only 5-5.5k tickets available to members usually you could estimate the cut off would be somewhere between 150-199, probably the higher end of that bracket

On a side note. Just seen that the loyalty point cut off for Swansea away on a Wednesday night was 174?? That's incredible support from our fans.

Agree it is but also means its a bit of a closed shop.
Have 102 pts, as do both my sons, and its been slow progress getting there as miss out on so many ticket ballots like many others.
We have managed to get to 5 away games this season (4 last) but never via our allocation - gone and bought via other means.
We long for the day we can go with our own fans and shout/cheer to our hearts content.
Shame we can't get loyalty points for these games

Means I've missed out on the Swansea game which is very disappointing. I've sat in with the home fans a couple of times over the past few seasons including two trips to Monaco.

What's really disappointing is when you hear that season ticket holders are buying tickets to sell them on just so they get the loyalty points.
