Any idea when we should expect a confirmed date? Trying to organise work around it.

£30 a ticket
-
The whole safe standing thing is stressful when you've got kids to consider.... My lad is desperate to go, but he's small and no way would he see if people are standing. Happy to buy a ticket low down (with a shit view no doubt) but he doesn't have as many points so I'm not sure what happens if the front 6 rows have sold out by the time his sale window comes round.
This is what spurs say re the safe standing:
Your Club will be offered the option to allocate supporters who would prefer to sit during the match to seats in Block 118. Please contact your Club if you prefer to sit and have not been offered this choice.
I wonder why we've decided to aim for rows rather than a block?
-
3900 ? Seems very low
-
3900 ? Seems very low
That was my thoughts, I’m sure we took more than that to Arsenal, that allocation is smaller than our full away allocation. They’ll only get around 40k on the night, plenty of spare capacity to give us more
-
3900 is not 10%of the capacity. That’s just the lower tier I think .
-
I'd be surprised if any rovers fan who wants a ticket doesn't manage to get one with that allocation.
-
3900 is not 10%of the capacity. That’s just the lower tier I think .
Capacity 62,850, there’ll be 22k empty seats
-
I wonder if rovers wanted any more then they maybe had to buy the full allocation
-
I’ve just spoken to the ticket office and they confirmed that 3,900 is all that we will be getting. My son-in-law who watches about 6 Rovers games a season wants to go so I can’t book mine until general sale. I would also prefer to sit due to a dodgy Knee but imagine those seats will go fairly quickly.
Might have to sit with their fans if the worst comes to the worst.
-
If thats the full allocation Spurs must have reduced the capacity for the game to 39k, or Rovers have requested a reduced allocation
-
Did they say why we were only getting 3900 ?
-
Did they say why we were only getting 3900 ?
No just that is all Spurs were sending.
Maybe in their eyes opening up another block for a few hundred extra isn’t worth it. Amazing when you think back to just rolling up and paying in past years.
-
From what I understand, the next band up for allocations would be 5800 and if we don't sell them all @£30 then we still have to pay a percentage of the unsold tickets.
We tried to negotiate on ticket price with Spurs, quoting what we were charged by Arsenal, Everton etc, but they were clearly not prepared to reduce. On that basis, it was felt the 3900 allocation was the more realistic option.
In my opinion, I agree with them, given the price, the logistics etc, I seriously doubt we would sell anywhere near 5800.
-
So , I have myself and 5 others in my Friends and Family
I think 3 will go and have almost the same Points but does that mean I can't buy 3 at the same time so we are together ( as indeed we are every Home Game )

You'd have to buy them at the same time as the person with the lowest number of points.

Dodgy firestick anyone?

Thanks Jenny I have 58 at the moment and the others will be around same but will check.

£30 a ticket
Totally worth it. £30 to watch Rovers in a garden shed at Mansfield, ridiculous. £30 to watch us in one of the best sporting arenas in the world - totally cool with me.
-
Plenty of points and desperate to go but I have a work meeting in Barcelona which I can’t get out of. Typical, first decent draw for ages and I can’t go! I know a few people who also can’t get out of work commitments that night so I’m sure there’ll be plenty of tickets go on general sale. :mad:
-
Similar here Lincs Rover. Had it been Tuesday I could get the time off, Wednesday it’s a no. Nightmare. Only option is to buy a ticket on the off chance things change at work and I can leave early.
-
The allocation we have got is perfectly fine I think. It’s not the easiest place to get to and back from via public transport and the coaches are leaving Donny at 1pm - that rules out school age children and a lot of people that aren’t able to leave work early. That’s before you consider the impact on work the next day

I'd have to disagree. I think its a terrible allocation.
Won't make general sale and a large amount of fans will miss out. Even those on the fence folks who attend games once in a blue moon, this is the sort of game that captures the imagination and turns them into more frequent attendees.

For me arsenal was a much bigger draw. I booked 2 days off for that one. Spurs at £30 isn't worth it.

I agree 100%.
I can get a ticket early doors given my points, but my son wants to go so it's a wait to general sale and then get two.
Based on Arsenal away I fancy 3,900 won't be enough

I'll be very surprised if it doesn't make general sale. It's not like you an choose to claim 4500 or 5000, the next band on offer is 5800.
As it is, those regulars who have earned the right will have first choice but already, you've read a snapshot of reasons why folk won't be able to go.
IF there's demand above 3900, I guess a large proportion would be made up of irregular day trippers because it's Spurs at a sw**ky stadium, not primarily because it's Doncaster Rovers.
-
I would guess they’ll be rovers fans in the home end.

I would guess they’ll be rovers fans in the home end.
Not sure on this, my Spurs friends are planning getting tickets to boost their points for future ticket purchases.

Youll be lucky I was working in London last year and fancied a spurs europa league game loads of spare tickets but the process to get one was ridiculous tried the week before but no chance had to register online 2 weeks then had to buy the tickets then it was an absolute ball ache meaning I just didn't go watched it on tele seeing all the empty seats was ridiculous
-
Do we think this makes general sale?
-
Yes, imho it will make it with plenty to spare.
-
I think the cost will put people off 2 adults and 1 kid £170 for tickets and coach it's a lot you're only missing half a day off school,but booking a holiday day or losing a day's pay soon adds up
-
I think £30 for a ticket and £30 for the bus is very good value, to watch Rovers play in one of the top stadiums in Europe. Compare it to some of the away travel/grounds/tickets in the last couple of years it’s very reasonable
-

Exactly. Whether the price in isolation isn't unreasonable, I guess just less than half of our ST holders will want or be able to go. I'm sure there'll be plenty of tickets for general sale.

Hoping it makes general sale. Fearing it won’t.

Weren’t they about £10?

Not a problem for me anymore. The daughter won't allow my youngest grandson to miss a day from school, as he's just started at secondary school. She's obviously got her priorities right.
I don't do Rovers matches without them. Disappointing, but I'm taking them to London on the train for the Leyton match in October.
We'll be at Wigan a week on Saturday as well.

I took both my boys out of school to go Arsenal, better than a school field trip.
-
I bet there will loads of “ field trips “ 3 weeks time, what is one day going to matter, put down as teacher training day
-
If it reaches general sale I may try - my only worry would be getting a bus seat...
-
This makes general sale for sure. No chance a 3/4 of our ST holders go.

I think you will get a Seat on.a Coach . They will keep adding Coaches to meet demand 1 at a time and have done it long enough to know what they are doing
If it goes to General Sale you will be able to go into Box Office and get Ticket and book Coach seat

Just be aware Orient away is on an international weekend, just incase we have 1 more called up.
-
The usual hysteria over whether it makes general sale. It definitely does. As I’ve said, there will be loads of people that can’t make the logistics work for this one and 4000 tickets is a lot to sell - it’s at least 1500 more than we took to huddersfield the other week.
It will be fine, don’t panic. Or buy a season ticket if you are that desperate not to miss out
-
Like in my case, a lot of season ticket holders will be holding back to buy tickets late to be sat with friends and relatives.
I imagine it will be chaos at 9am when general sale opens.
-
Three of us season ticket holders on holiday so won’t be buying tickets
-
Daniel Levy has just stepped down as Spurs chair.
Obviously terrified of the beating the Rovers will hand his side of primadonnas

You sure about that? 5000 seemed to overcome “logistics’ to get to Arsenal not that long ago.

There was little restriction on tickets per person @£10 per ticket. Have a look at the number of people eligible to buy tickets at each stage @ one per person.. With first hand and second hand confirmation from ST holders who won't be going, it's a fair assessment that at least half, probably more, will not be buying by the time it comes to general sale. That will leave at least 1000 for general sale.
-
I don't even think it will sell out personally. Train sold out and like people have said getting down to London at short notice abd work midweek.
Didn't realise how low ST sales are until I read the points table and who is eligible. 25 is ST holders and above
-
Trains never sell out only cheaper advance tickets do,you can still get down cheaper but coming back is about 3 times and prob woukd have to stand or sit in gang way lol
-
I think what will put a lot of people off is the ridiculous arrival times Spurs insist on for away fans coaches.
-
Is it Spurs or the local authorities/police making such demands.?
-
By my reckoning around 650 tickets sold in first 10 mins .thats pretty good going considering there are only 868 eligible up to 1pm today.
-
The initial rush has abated. Around 2/3 of those eligible have snapped up tickets so far. The next rush will be at 1pm no doubt. Based on around 5000 supporters with 25 points or more; If 2/3 of those eligible to buy tickets before gen sale do so, then I reckon there will be around 600 tickets or thereabouts remaining for gen sale. There will be people who cannot get a ticket for this game for sure. I predict it will sell out the 3900 allocation.
-
Why have the tickets behind the goal been blocked off in block 113 only bottom 6 rows available to buy
-

According to the schedule, there were @1600 eligibile. If every one bought a ticket that would leave 2300 . That’s a very high percentage sold considering although, the highest points holders are the most staunchest of supporters. Either that or there's been some bucking of the system.
-
They’re scared we’ll have more supporters than them there. It’s a stunning stadium.

Been in behind the other goal and has about 4 or 5 levels and it’s like going into a airport when you go in with all the escalators

2,000 gone but edging to general sale :-)

Just popped down to my local, the landlord is big Spurs fan he recommends parking at Enfield catching the overland 4 stops 5-10mins from ground

I really hope so, I’m struggling to make that game
-
Can’t help but think it’s a bit of an own goal from the club not going for the higher amount of tickets. It’s potentially a once in a generation cup tie, of course there was gonna be big interest.
-
Costly if we sent 2000 back though
-
That's just it Padge. The cost to the club for sending tickets back isn't worth it.
-
What is the cost? Do we need to pay for tickets up front or something?
-
I'll be surprised if we even sell this lot tbh. It's an expensive and tricky trip for many.
-
I really wanted to go to this game, but I can't justify the cost of ticket, travel plus food and drink and then getting back home in the early hours, but I'm sure those that do go will enjoy the match whatever the result.
-

The way I see it, this could and probably will be my only chance to see rovers play there. 1975 was the last time rovers played there at the old ground. I obvs didn’t go then.
Prior to that it was 1947.

You missed a treat 7 2 but we were unlucky as even london papers reported
For the record I AM going again. It won't be 7 2 although as Spud will testify I saw us lose 4 0 to Luton and years later went again and said , no way will it be 4 0 but it was

My dad was at the 1975 game. And I’m please to report he will be with us at this years game. With me and my youngest son. Three generations of rovers together. We which don’t do often due to us living all over.

With the 1pm deadline upon us, I reckon around half of those that were eligible for priority tickets have now got one. 5200 ish were eligible, and around 2600 have gone. 1250 ish left.

I’m lucky, my son and grandson manage to attend all of the games with me, home and away.
There’s only one mile distance from our homes. It’s certainly nice for 3 generations to go together.

It certainly is . There probably aren’t many of us enjoying this privilege.

I’ll be there with my son, unfortunately they’ll be a pitch length between us. He’ll be in the south stand(Spurs season ticket holder) whilst I’ll be in the Rovers section.

Got a very cherished photo at home with my dad, me, son & grandson following Donny at Rochdale. All four generations are Rovers mad, despite the old man now feeling too old to go. A memory I’ll always love. Truly blessed.

What is the cost? Do we need to pay for tickets up front or something?
Don't quote me on it Nick, because I'm not sure about this specific game. But I'm sure clubs can make you purchase in advance, so you effectively buy the allocation from the club and then any left over, you're out of pocket. 1000 tickets at £30 we can't shift isn't really worth thinking about if it's the case.

They are basically saying "sit in this block if you dont mind sitting next to a drum".

And i guess its allocated seating

9am tomorrow hopefully everyone who wants one gets a ticket, wonder if we can go to spurs and buy another block and do it block by block surely they aren’t worried about a few thousand rovers fans out singing and chanting the 40+ thousand spurs fans

We be shifted around 3100 tickets so far, but has anyone noticed this post has nearly 20000 views. There’s a lot of interest in this game somewhere.

I must have popped into this thread about fifteen times and i’m guessing that others might have done as well.

Keeps crashing on me,keeps coming up with different peoples names at top of page "Hello Abbey" "Hello Craig" jesus,now "Hello Darren"
I was only wanting to buy a U17 for my grandson to sit next to us that have already got our tickets previously,luckily managed to get it after continously refreshing,on my laptop and phone,and then crashing over 20 times trying to get through assigning owner then crashing when paying,it must so gutting for people who fail to get tickets for u17s to go with them.
-
About 80 left. Tickets flying out the door
-
Absolutely ridiculous. I got one in my basket and can’t confirm or anything.
-
I had to go onto my laptop to be able to check out. It wouldn’t work on my phone.
-
Seems like some tickets have dropped out of people’s baskets as now about 130 tickets left plus 42 in the 234 section
-
Sites crashed
-
I am on the phone with engaged tone but was buying the ticket on my iPad. I don’t know if being in my basket stops anybody else buying it.
I want to sign it to my son-in-law in my friends and family but it won’t let me.

Looks like a sell out. Tickets have gone off sale
-
Finally did the son-in-law’s on the phone after an hour wait.
Hope we give Spurs a pumping after their greed with the tickets.

Online suspended due to fake accounts?
-
Touts no doubt, not good.
-
Block 115 for me and I'll definitely be singing in that section.
858 tickets left as of 15:50.
Hey Nudga - Andy and me likewise - 115, the REAL singing section !
Buying at 9am tomorrow
I'm in there too and will be singing.
-
113 behind the goal cannot wait for the game win or lose it will be a great night
I'm in there with you Rich, looking forward to this one! If you're wanting to go on coach I'd be tempted to get in and get booked on asap, I think Paul was on coach 15 or 16 already yesterday morning.
-
Looks like they massively underestimated the demand.
-
Club have confirmed sell out
-
Ridiculous. Club worried about paying a few grand for potentially unsold tickets when we’re getting half a mil from the gate anyway.
-
I can't believe the club asked for so few tickets. We could have easily sold the larger consignment with the amount of interest. Gutted I can't go, club have dropped an absolute clanger on this one.
Obviously I'll be watching it on TV but I just think some of the decisions the club makes about ticketing for games, not just this one, don't make any sense
-
Very very frustrating, given we are entitled to 10% capacity as per the competition rules.
Let's hope the club go back to spurs to request the full allocation.
-
Looks like they massively underestimated the demand.
Don't exaggerate. If just shy of 1000 have gone to general sale then those most regular of supporters have got tickets if they wanted them.

I thought it was confirmed earlier in the thread, there will be no more tickets. It was 3,900 or 5,800 and drfc went for the lower amount.

Selling out 2 weeks before the game means the club massively underestimated demand

Nothing to say we can't go back and claim our full entitlement.

I hope so.

I don’t think that’s going to happen. There is a spurs fan online who has a ST there. His seat is in the tier above the away fans where the extra allocation usually is. He states he gets moved before buying ticket when there is a big away following . He has his ticket already for the game . So that area is being sold to home fans .
-

Pretty much this. People that regularly go to games get the points, if you didn't get a ticket because you had to wait to general sale then it's just unfortunate. Paying back thousands to a club like us would be ridiculous.
-
Does anyone know anyone who wanted a ticket but didn’t get one?
-
Does anyone know anyone who wanted a ticket but didn’t get one?
Obviously yes otherwise it wouldn’t have sold out. 5 of us were waiting till general sale, none got tickets.

Right are we saying now as a club and a fan base that the only people that have a right to away tickets are those that can afford/have time to go regularly? Talk about a club shooting itself in the foot.
Especially when we all know that it's not like Spurs are going to sell out their allocation to see us play. We could have sold out 5000 tickets and that more money for the club.
Me and several of my mates who can't go regularly were planning on going out of our way to get to this and I'm sure we weren't the only ones. A night at a prem club, especially one of the London clubs, could have potentially pulled quite a lot of extra fans and possibly quite a few neutrals and casual fans. This is nothing but short sighted as far as I can see

I know of 4 that go prob 10 games a season that missed out

Most clubs in the Prem/EFL will be lucky if tickets going to general sale if they have a sizeable fan base, the whole system is set up to ensure those who regularly go have the first right of refusal and those who go once in a blue moon have to chance it with general sale. Its a very fair system
-
I'm not saying don't give them first choice. But I'm saying if you know you're about to play a prem team away, something that doesn't come up very often for us, maybe make sure you've got enough tickets so that you can actually get some to general sale.

Playing devils advocate here. can you imagine what it’s like getting a ticket as a home fan at spurs ? There are some spurs fans that see this game as an opportunity to see their team at a reasonable price and get a seat. Bearing in mind high profile tickets there are circa £100. I suppose we have a cause to moan if on the night there are big swathes of the away end empty . Then we have a cause to complain. Of course by that time it’s too late . They are believed to have 50500 season ticket holders and 80000 on a waiting list . Different world to the likes of drfc.sometimes we don’t know how lucky we are . For 99% of games 99% of our fans that want to get tickets do so.
-
There’ll be 25k to30k seats empty on the night
-
Everyone assuming that they are not closing any part of the stadium for this one. Could be that large areas are closed off
-
Morcambe took 2500 ish in their 3rd fa cup game a couple years ago. I wonder what they were allocated? There was a 40k plus crowd there for that one . Sunday 2pm ko. Live on tv
-
Be nice to have a bit of transparency on this.
Why did the club only take 3900 as opposed to 5800?
Is there any chance of extra tickets? Perhaps through negotiation with Spurs as SM seemed to be suggesting yesterday?
Is it 3900 or 5800 with no in between option?
Transparency would be helpful as there are a lot of unofficial and perhaps even conspiracy theories out there. We don’t want to be alienating our own fans.

Not saying that at all. If you were to read the whole thread, there's some reasoning why the club went for the 3900 allocation. You, nor I, have no idea how many more than the 3900 could have been sold. If it was a case of being able to request additional blocks by block, then the decision would have been alot easier to assess.
As others have said, the priority system is a fair one. If there are fans who attend around ten home games a season, then they could have put themselves further up the list, rather than wait for general sale.

Yes, but the point is we COULD have had more tickets if the club wanted.
People are missing out.
Mansfield took 6000 to Everton new stadium, did they f**k about with limited ticket numbers ? No they took the whole allocation.
-
No, the point is, you didnt have all the information to hand, to have made the assessment in the first place.
Now, with all the information that you have now, let's say it's your decision and you have to pay Spurs the compensation for unsold tickets, are you going to choose the allocation you're confident of selling, or the one you think we might?
It's your call.
-

I said earlier on in the thread I thought taking the lower amount was a mistake.
Despite, in my opinion, it being obvious there would be huge demand for these tickets, the club have now put themselves in a position of turning away up to 1,900 rovers fans who wanted to experience this once in a generation event.
Forget about the penny pinching worrying about unsold tickets, the club have potentially now cost themselves around £20k? in lost revenue, and pissed off a good chunk of fans in the process.
-
As others have said, the priority system is a fair one. If there are fans who attend around ten home games a season, then they could have put themselves further up the list, rather than wait for general sale.
How would they do this?
I think the Points system is largely sound, but it does feel like it's missing another purchase cut-off beneath 25 points, as currently if you've made it to 20 matches you've no greater standing than someone who hasn't been to any.
Unless there's something I've missed.
-
This needs to be addressed by the club officially. Not through supporters that have been told things. In saying that I don’t mean to be disrespectful to those that have passed on information on here.
I think most will accept the situation if the club is transparent about the reasons for decisions made. People are saying the club would have lost money had they gone for the higher allocation and been unable to sell them. But just how much money would they have lost and how much of a risk was it?
As I said above we don’t want to be alienating people.

If the demand was high then we wouldve sold out way before General Sale with the amount of ST holders we have, the club aren't losing out on anything at all. Its just the bunch of fans who go every now and again who are pissed off, if you werent quick enough or had enough points due to your own circumstances then quite simply no one elses fault apart from your own. Think of those fans of football clubs who can't even get to a normal league fixture due to the waiting lists etc, the club put the priortiy points system in place like many other clubs have to ensure those who attended all if not most games will have a great chance of getting a ticket for an away fixture.
We have 1312 tickets for Luton, if they sell out too are you going to complain about that too? No its because its a one off tie against Tottenham and the fairweather fans are coming out for it. Harsh but in my opinion i have zero sympathy for those without a ticket, its your decision to not put yourself in a better position for tickets whether that be for work/family or other reasons.
For example where were the extra 3000 fans who attended the promotion game against Bradford at the end of last season and 5 months later were nowhere to be seen because its just a normal league fixture....

How do you come to that conclusion about revenue without all the information to hand?
I'm sure the people at the club weighed everything up and came to a common sense decision.
Why do you think the same people at the club made the decision about the Arsenal allocation? Do you think they assessed that one responsibly?
Do you really think they've deliberately penny pinched? For all the good that's happening at the club at the moment, I seriously doubt penny pinching is at the forefront of their minds.

There will be a lot of “I’ve not got a ticket therefore the club are at fault” posts over the coming days

Memberships and Flexi ticket holders bump up to above general sale don't they?
The basic membership where you get about £4 off each game you attend. Used to be £20 to buy, not sure what it is now.
Every season there's two cups where we could get a plum draw. It's up to every one of us to assess how important that is to us and the risk of missing out.
-
The club are instigating a waiting list apparently, just call the box office to add yourself on. So perhaps there is some chance of an additional batch.
For the record I have zero points and got a ticket.
I’ve had an IFollow and Rovers+ season viewing pass for probably about 5 or 6 years and seen pretty much every match live…. Yet I have zero points, but that’s a conversation for another time.

Yeah that's fair, but I think a problem with all the ways of 'putting yourself further up the list' is that they're geared around home game attendance. And the points issue is one that affects away game attendance.
I appreciate there's never going to be a system that suits all fans, but I do feel the jump between 25 points and 0 points is too large a step, considering what is needed to attain those points. Had there been a 10 or 15 points and upwards bracket on this fixture (or similar fixtures with likely low general sale availability) then there'd probably be a lot less complaints.
-
Finally did the son-in-law’s on the phone after an hour wait.

why is it greed by spurs
-
Very very frustrating, given we are entitled to 10% capacity as per the competition rules.
Let's hope the club go back to spurs to request the full allocation.
im not so sure it is 10% in this competition unlike the fa cup,league cup i think maybe 10% or minimum 2000 which ever is the smallest
-
There’ll be 25k to30k seats empty on the night
That would mean a crowd of 30k to 35k. I reckon there'll be way more than that.
40k at least, but probably more.
-
There will be 50,000+ at Tottenham, because they operate a point’s system as well, in fact all clubs do one way or another. Tottenham supporters will spend £30 for a ticket or £10 for a junior one to top their points up
-

This. I believe this game for spurs adds an extra 4points to their individual tally. As a sth holder that keeps them high up when it comes to European games tickets. There will be a big crowd at this one. And it’s a night game which means the light show will be used. Which looks amazing on the YouTube clips .

I never expected 4k to sell out as quick as it did especially on a Wednesday night down in London.

Equally a flexi ticket over the 2 seasons would get you to 10/15/20 points which is more than reasonable to ask a fan to go to 5 games a season

There’s been 10 days between first sale and general sale for the Wigan game and 9 days for the Luton game. If anything ST to general sale should be quicker! we’ve got that many categories for points/memberships it’s daft, adding a 10-15 would make it even worse.
-
When we’ve got 3900 tickets, why not just allow the points covering the first 3000 tickets on sale all at the same time. Allowing more people to get tickets with who they want instead of hanging on.
Far too many categories when we got so many tickets.

So much for season ticket sales being 30% up then. Basically max 5200 have STs. You get 25 points for having 1

Think the theory behind it is that the higher points people get the first choice of where they sit.

Finally did the son-in-law’s on the phone after an hour wait.
Hope we give Spurs a pumping after their greed with the tickets.
why is it greed by spurs
In my opinion a club that rakes in millions from the Premier League, European football, tv money advertising and sponsorship are quibbling about 1,900 tickets. I don’t know how much it would cost to open up that amount of seating or part of it but they would be making the ticket money to offset further expense. That seems greedy to me.
-
Are they quibbling over those tickets.? I thought our club didn’t ask for them.?
As for folks missing out, let’s say if we had got the extra 1900, what if only 500 people wanted them.? That’s 1400 the club has to pay for.??
-
Looks like they massively underestimated the demand.
Don't exaggerate. If just shy of 1000 have gone to general sale then those most regular of supporters have got tickets if they wanted them.
Right are we saying now as a club and a fan base that the only people that have a right to away tickets are those that can afford/have time to go regularly? Talk about a club shooting itself in the foot.
Especially when we all know that it's not like Spurs are going to sell out their allocation to see us play. We could have sold out 5000 tickets and that more money for the club.
Me and several of my mates who can't go regularly were planning on going out of our way to get to this and I'm sure we weren't the only ones. A night at a prem club, especially one of the London clubs, could have potentially pulled quite a lot of extra fans and possibly quite a few neutrals and casual fans.

As others have said, the priority system is a fair one. If there are fans who attend around ten home games a season, then they could have put themselves further up the list, rather than wait for general sale.
Yes, but the point is we COULD have had more tickets if the club wanted.
People are missing out.
Mansfield took 6000 to Everton new stadium, did they f**k about with limited ticket numbers ? No they took the whole allocation.
Mansfield didn't take 6000 to Everton, what they got was their core fan base and then a load of ground hoppers who wanted to tick the ground off.... I know someone who did it and he said the atmosphere was a bit weird in the away end and clear that there was hundreds with no interest in supporting Mansfield.
The same would have happened with us at Spurs with a larger allocation, especially given that typically you have to be a member at Spurs to get a home ticket which costs a fair whack
-
Are they quibbling over those tickets.? I thought our club didn’t ask for them.?
As for folks missing out, let’s say if we had got the extra 1900, what if only 500 people wanted them.? That’s 1400 the club has to pay for.??
That is the point I am trying to make. Spurs with their millions not releasing say an extra 500 or 1,000. Wanting us to stand the potential cost of unsold tickets rather than being happy to just make a smaller profit on an extra thousand or so extra fans.
-
Looks like they massively underestimated the demand.
Don't exaggerate. If just shy of 1000 have gone to general sale then those most regular of supporters have got tickets if they wanted them.
Right are we saying now as a club and a fan base that the only people that have a right to away tickets are those that can afford/have time to go regularly? Talk about a club shooting itself in the foot.
Especially when we all know that it's not like Spurs are going to sell out their allocation to see us play. We could have sold out 5000 tickets and that more money for the club.
Me and several of my mates who can't go regularly were planning on going out of our way to get to this and I'm sure we weren't the only ones. A night at a prem club, especially one of the London clubs, could have potentially pulled quite a lot of extra fans and possibly quite a few neutrals and casual fans. This is nothing but short sighted as far as I can see
Not saying that at all. If you were to read the whole thread, there's some reasoning why the club went for the 3900 allocation. You, nor I, have no idea how many more than the 3900 could have been sold. If it was a case of being able to request additional blocks by block, then the decision would have been alot easier to assess.

I know a few Mansfield supporters and they said the same, loads of Groundhoppers ticking the new ground off because they won’t be able to get in for a league match

How would they do this?
I think the Points system is largely sound, but it does feel like it's missing another purchase cut-off beneath 25 points, as currently if you've made it to 20 matches you've no greater standing than someone who hasn't been to any.
Unless there's something I've missed.
Memberships and Flexi ticket holders bump up to above general sale don't they?
The basic membership where you get about £4 off each game you attend. Used to be £20 to buy, not sure what it is now.
Every season there's two cups where we could get a plum draw. It's up to every one of us to assess how important that is to us and the risk of missing out.
Yeah that's fair, but I think a problem with all the ways of 'putting yourself further up the list' is that they're geared around home game attendance. And the points issue is one that affects away game attendance.
I appreciate there's never going to be a system that suits all fans, but I do feel the jump between 25 points and 0 points is too large a step, considering what is needed to attain those points. Had there been a 10 or 15 points and upwards bracket on this fixture (or similar fixtures with likely low general sale availability) then there'd probably be a lot less complaints.
There’s been 10 days between first sale and general sale for the Wigan game and 9 days for the Luton game. If anything ST to general sale should be quicker! we’ve got that many categories for points/memberships it’s daft, adding a 10-15 would make it even worse.
have to agree st to general sale is to long a wait, i had to wait for general sale for the accy game amd there was not enough time to post the tickets out and a 240 mile round trip to pick up tickets is out of the question

It could be due to the logistics of seperaring the concourses and maybe on different levels.
As others have eluded to, once we take our location, they will then take those sections to sell to their own fans in the knowledge they have a huge waiting list.
-
Does everyone know it's standing as well?
-
According to the DROS site Rows 1 to 6 in every block are "reserved" for those who wish to sit
I've gone for 118 which is on the side and chose Row 6 ( way lower than I would normally go ) to "heed" the warning re the people who wish to use "Safe standing" and hope we "play the game" both on and off the Field
-
I don't think it'll happen, if you looked at the available seats when it reached general same many of them were low down and those who bought them may wish to stand . I very much doubt it will be enforced, and neither should it be in my opinion. And that's the issue with self standing when no alternative is given.... It doesnt work for everyone and it's why we decided against taking the kids
-
We are in row 2 so shouldn’t have a problem. I would struggle to stand for 90 odd minutes these days and I’m sure that quite a few others fall into that category and chose the seated area for this reason.if it is unallocated then those wanting to stand should always be at the back or as high as possible. At Sutton and Salford I managed to lean on a barrier and have a decent view but it is harder in seats. I do stand when we score or a near miss and when players come on are as subbed but unfortunately 90 minutes is too long these days.
-
Ironically it says 118 is Seated fans only but Rovers chose to go their own way it seems
I've also read on Ticket I think persistent standing is not allowed or prohibited but whether that is 118 ONLY we will have to see
-
I’m in 113 which says standing not allowed as well John. In row 2 so can’t see it being a problem for us.
-
It shouldn't be. Have you checked you view on the virtual Stadium ?
Very clever stuff.

Hi. Spurs fan here.
Firstly, looking forward to seeing you at the Lane. Haven't seen Spurs play Doncaster Rovers before so another one to tick off.
I wouldn't worry about whether or not your ticket says it is seated or not. The stewards never make away fans sit down.
Regarding allocation, I believe the away club requests the amount required. This is between 3k (lower tier only) and 6k (which i believe is all 3 tiers. I'm assuming DR have split the difference (2 tiers).
I will be able to tell when our tickets go on sale to members.
Anyway, good luck and if anyone needs any advice regarding getting to the stadium, please feel free to ask.
Good luck.

Nor are we but we still pay £50 for the cheapest Premier League tickets and up to £100 for the most expensive.
FYI, they stopped selling proper Cider in the stadium this season. They sell that fruit (blackcurrant) stuff now.

Thanks Londoner - any idea if I will be able to take a back pack in? My son has type 1 diabetes so I take his medical equipment with me. I know Wembley can be a bit funny

You must have some official paperwork take that with you, also what about emailing Tottenham and telling them beforehand

No, large backpacks are not allowed into Tottenham Hotspur Stadium due to its restricted bag policy. Only personal bags that are A4 size or smaller (approximately 21cm x 30cm) are permitted. You may bring a clear carrier bag of maximum 30cm x 30cm, but you cannot place a smaller personal bag inside it. If you need to bring a bag, consider a Club-branded Spurs PVC drawstring bag or a similar small bag. Laptops can be brought in sleeves no larger than 37cm x 31cm. Medical exemptions are available for necessary equipment, but you must apply for a certificate in advance.

They have a Bag Policy Scooter limiting the size of bag that can be taken in. Info here:

Thanks all

Thank you am going straight from work. So really good to know about the bag size. I hadn’t given it a thought.

This Spurs thing has really captured my attention. I am very glad I’m not a sportsman and I can rely on our proper professionals to focus on what is a bigger match Wigan away.
Come on Rovers.

Worth everyone having a look at Prohibited items as well on same Link
Better than throwing stuff away or returning to Coach ( which may be locked if you've been to Pub or McDs etc ) so you are stuck with it
