I have my eye open for this as well. When I selected our seats in East Upper, I was still under 65 and we hadn't been told that only some areas of the stadium would qualify for concessions. Now I'm stuck there, paying full price, despite being 66. I'd rather stay on the Shelf, but not if I could save the best part of a grand a year.
There is nothing whatsoever that I can find on the website about this, nor even about which areas qualify for concessions (if you know where it is, please post a link). Eventually, I'll probably have to ring them, by which time I will probably be quite ratty about it...
Sure here you go, should be a PDF download

Thanks to both of you.my recollection, which was based on the ST prices at the outset, was concessions were only in areas where the ST full price was below £1200. I kept the original colour chart so hopefully this helps
I’m struggling to now see the benefits of having a ST over being a +member. The absolute main concept of any ST has pretty much been lost which is value. Companies generally offer a ST to anything like a Gym or a Club because you get each individual visit at a cheaper price, which now does not apply to the stadium. Secondly the simple fact of getting in, which was applicable at the old stadium. Now apart from very few games you will get into every game. In fact you don’t even need to be a member to get into probably 50% of games which for many is more than enough. You’re really counting on sentimental loyalty. Even if you gave up a ST my guess is you’d have a very good chance of getting it back next season.

They'd never turn around and take a ticket away if they sell more games than attend.Does anyone know whether the club has a 'rule' over season ticket holders selling their tickets on ticket exchange? By that question I mean do they monitor how many games you sell and if you continue to go over a threshold theyll confiscate the ticket
Would be interesting to know... for a friend
I agree with the sentiment but we can't do that and simultaneously demand the club spends money on the same level as the Mancs, Chelsea and Liverpool.Just stop paying it, people. It's the only way to make them really listen.
Nope. In fact, it's great for the club. They have the money up front to earn interest on. They get an extra £4.50 "booking fee" every time someones buys your ticket on the Exchange. They've already sold the seat, even if you can't go and can't resell e.g. a crap bank holiday fixture with no transport. And the tourists who'll turn up in your place will on average spend more on food, drink, programmes, and best of all total crap from the shop that sells for £70 on £3 worth of materials.Does anyone know whether the club has a 'rule' over season ticket holders selling their tickets on ticket exchange?

My expectation is that the club charges the highest prices in the world when they're at least the best football team in the country. Until they get themselves there by whatever means (clever scouting/excellent management/heavy spending/whatever else), I think the club should price accordingly for the quality of football that they are producing.I agree with the sentiment but we can't do that and simultaneously demand the club spends money on the same level as the Mancs, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Then your argument is with capitalism, or at least its place in football. Things are priced according to what the market determines, not the quality of the product or any notion of fairness. I'm on the same page as you, but sadly most of the country clearly is not.My expectation is that the club charges the highest prices in the world when they're at least the best football team in the country.

You're absolutely right, it is. Honestly, I wouldn't really describe myself as a Spurs supporter at this point; modern football has conditioned me to feel like a Spurs consumer instead. And so when we charge prices that aren't commensurate with the quality of the product, I'm always going to be moaning about it, just like I would if Tesco started selling own-brand loaves of bread for a fiver.Then your argument is with capitalism, or at least its place in football.

The ST holder pays up front for the season which is what the club care about - It's up to them, what they do there after.
If Joe Bloggs wants to pay £1k up front and only go to two games but sell the rest? Club won't worry about that

Looks like I'm screwed, unless I move to a not-very-good seat in the north stand.
So does anybody know the clubs position on season ticket refunds if the games are forced to be played behind closed doors?
Just seen an article on Twitter (I know...) detailing how some clubs have it in their T&C’s that they would not refund for cancelled games
