    Even more embarassing and pathetic than that.

    I was never even a member. I was just registered as a fan or some **** <laugh>.

    I remember now that I looked at joining around 2008 (which is pathetic in itself since I've 'supported' Spurs since the 80s), but I was working overseas and for some reason got it into my head that if I joined or joined the queue for a season ticket, then it might affect my tax status.

    So anyway, bottom line is, I can't buy a ticket to the NLD - even on Stubhub.

    I very nearly went yesterday as well, which would have been a brilliant game to see as it turned out. But there you go.

    Try to see if there are any hospitality seats left. Cost a bit more but seeing Wenger throw his water bottle in the flesh is priceless.

    Re Stubhub : They crop up now and again. Tend to last about 5 minutes. I saw about 10 tickets over the weekend.

    Right, so ive finally coughed up the twenty quid that will let me buy a ticket for the last two home games.

    But what's this bollocks about a, "Stadium access card" ??

    Since when did this exist ?

    * actually, i do vaguely remember this. Im sure ive been to a couple of games in the last two years without one though ???

    I pay £50 for my Bronze membership, that is all I need. It's tough getting tickets. Tried to get some for Man Utd in Apr and although it says there are some, the picture of the stadium looked to be fully red (booked). Bournemouth is labelled as sold out.

    There's plenty of Bournemouth tickets on Stubhub.

    I'm hoping to pick one up off there for West Brom and/or Southampton.

    If we won the league and I never went to a game, I don't think I could live with myself tbh <laugh>

    The Stubhub start at £100. I will get to see a game or two, but I'm not paying £200 for me and my daughter.

    Don't blame you. Keep an eye out though. Some come up on there face value, or even less than that shortly before the game.

    I have to say I find the principle of allowing Spurs fans to charge what they want to sell tickets to fellow Spurs fans, extremely nauseating. That the club actively encourages this, is even more distasteful. Jumping into bed with Stubhub was not one of Daniel Levy's most diplomatic moves in my view.

    Have you ever looked at buying one of the 4 season ticket packages they offer at the beginning of each season ?

    Basically, they offer 4 packages with a mixture of category A, category B and category C games included in each package. I think there is 4 games in each package and the Arsenal game plus 2 others are not included in any package. As I understand, they are snapped up very quickly, but certainly worth thinking about rather than stressing about getting tickets when there are so many coming out of the woodwork now and making it harder to get tickets.

    Completely agree. ..have complained in writing to the club about it after seeing NLD tickets on sale for over £1200 each...is basically legalised ticket touting.
    Received a response saying it wasn't their responsibility but would taking the issue of pricing up with stub hub as many fans had complained.
    think they now limit how much tickets can be sold for on stub hub... £150 or £200 is the most now I think.
    Makes me feel more and more priced out of going to matches.
