Could Spurs fill 87k though? They might end up giving us some more hopefully.

If you lived down South and knew enough Spurs fans like I do, you'd think they'd have won the fucking CL, PL, FA Cup and World Cup judging by their reactions to beating Arsenal the other day. As far as they're concerned they'd fill the Nou Camp every day for meaningless friendlies let alone Wembley!

Spurs will fill it, as they showed in CL. Massive capacity allows for cheaper pricing.

I suspect it won't be hard to get hold of tickets though, and to prevent the risk of the bigger teams with big away followings being scattered everywhere in the home end, they may opt to give more than 3k if required. Even if they give some teams between 5k-8k, still over 80000 available for Spurs fans which is more than Old Trafford

They ended up flogging the Europa tickets for £5 just to fill it. All denied by Spurs fans of course. They forget we had 89,500 for a friendly in the middle of the summer hols last year.

Would be amazed though if they give us more than 3k. They'll want as many tickets available for home fans as possible. Rumours are they may flog one-off Wembley season tickets to cover the demand (which don't give priority for a ST at the new WHL).

To only offer the statutory minimum premier league requirement of 3000 on a 90000 capacity stadium would be mean spirited.I get the point that they might offer more to some of the away sides with huge travelling support ie us and united to minimise the risk of away fans buying in the home ends.

Anyone else hoping for an away FA Cup draw at Spurs then? 15% of capacity unless the SAG stick their nose in. That's around 13,500 travelling down, plenty of tickets for people.

Man U do it on a 76k stadium. Difference is Man U have the clear demand to sell to home fans EVERY game. Spurs will have to do cheap tickets to fill this out with home fans for non big games. Get the pricing wrong and even big games will struggle to sell out. Hoping for at least 5k

Every indication is that they are planning to fill every game with the maximum number of home fans possible. There's been no talk in the London press about larger numbers of away fans. Otherwise it's unlikely Spurs would have pushed for planning permission for 90k every game.

But we hope and remain (not that I'll get a sniff on 0 credits!)

5k away fans will easily out sing any home support they have. They probably will not want to give other teams the advantage, with Wembley being a dream for most of the teams and players to play in anyway. Last thing they want is every away team to feel home and well supported there.

Lets hope I am wrong though. 5k would be nice.

It is for 27 games at 90k. So not necessarily all. My bet is they will do all 19 league games and 3 CL group games. That accounts for 22, leaving 5. They will do League Cup home games at reduced capacity as they will want to hold 3 of the remaining 5 back for CL if they go further. I expect them to perform better next season in Europe.

That leaves 2. Think they would use 1 for a League Cup semi final home leg if they make it and 1 for FA Cup. If they exit Europe early they can use any remainders for FA Cup run. However if they are still in Europe and get a favourable round of 16 CL draw I would expect them to reduce capacity for FA Cup unless they draw us or Arsenal or Man U or Chelsea

My BIL confirmed last night that Spurs have offered at least 18,000 extra ST's next season for Wembley. He reckons they have a similar number to us already i.e. 25-30,000.

Part of the way support must be pitch side from next season.
If that's the case we could potentially get a smaller allocation at places like Newcastle next season! They might just give us 3000!

Had someone asking me for a spare for West Ham away. Said his friend have got 10(!) ST in the dougout and told him that he could sort him with 5-6 tickets. But he didnt get any tickets for west Ham..

By the sound of that lower level hospitality get a stab at away tickets. Perhaps if you got 4+, 6+, 10+ tickets you have a chance?

I would bet my bottom dollar that if someone told the club they would take ten dugout season tickets next season on the basis of 5 away tickets guaranteed per away game they would do that deal.

Leicester                  3305          2
Southampton          3312          3
So there we have it this table is now complete only change is some on 13 got West Ham so to not have suffered a drop in away credits this season you needed 15 credits to stay still some 17s might even have went up one 14 dropped 4 some 13s just dropped 3 11s got fucked drop of 7.The  only declared change from the club this season was that reds and premier could no longer get aways through hospitality relying on last year's credits only.This probably had a minor impact on credits required by far the biggest reason required credits shot through the roof is because anyone who had the higher tier hospitality got an away ticket if they wanted.The ballot was bollocks I know this for certain.

Our 15 didn't stay on it, so some will have dropped - Spurs & Hull - as only a few left for 15s. So down to 13. God only knows what that will get next season!  :-\ >:(

Not sure then, says this on http://i.tottenhamhotspur.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003083225

Where are the away fans going to be located at Wembley Stadium?

For our Premier League matches, visiting supporters will be located in Blocks 112 – 119. This may change for matches in UEFA competition dependent on opponents and their ticketing requirements. 7

Haven't seen away tickets advertised in any of the hospitality season ticket packages, unless im mistaken

But yeah I think that's the best way mate haha
