What will the new stadium mean for ticket prices?

We all know that the new stadium will increase revenues for the club. Beyond that, what will be the benefits for the fans?

Presumably it will be easier to get tickets for popular matches, but will they be any cheaper? Given that the supply of tickets will be increased, while the demand will stay roughly the same, you might expect the ticket prices to fall, though this certainly isn't what happened when Arsenal moved into the Emirates.

As it stands, a season ticket at Tottenham costs roughly the same as it would to purchase individual tickets for all the games. This is presumably the case due to the fact that the club can fill the stadium easily and has no reason to offer an incentive to buy tickets in bulk. Should the new stadium prove harder to fill, one would expect that season ticket prices would be changed to present better value over buy individual tickets, so as to encourage fans to commit to as many games as possible. Again, this does not seem to have happened at the Emirates, with Arsenal season tickets being the most expensive in the Premier League.

Does anyone here have a clear idea of how they expect ticket prices to be affected by the increased capacity of the new stadium?

Yes - no change to costs or availability (except maybe some EL matches where availability will be better

Initially some prices will drop as they will ensure the stadium is as filled as possible. Then they will increase the price until they reach the optimal balance, It will always be determined by demand and supply.
