Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

Does anyone know where the picture of the stadium as it was and what it will be like from the East view is? It was photoshopped but it showed the height of the old stadium and the height of the new stadium. Tried looking in the 900 pages here but then gave up. Trying to show someone at work that the old stadium is half the height of the new one.

Forgive what probably are daft questions but in the latest video from Chris, the video wall on the side going up the stairs had two massive black rectangles when they were showing a static image. These can’t be dead pixels already can they? With regards to opening the stadium whilst the final finishing touches are still being worked on, had that happened before in the UK? Must be a H&S nightmare to open a site still a building site in bits. I also notice the ticket office looks like is has a lot of work to be done. Surely that would need to be totally finished before a game is played? Sorry one more question. Was the grey and white cladding on the outside a late addition to the plans? I am surprised there wasn’t more scaffolding to get it down a lot quicker.
The video walls are still being tested and fiddled with, so they might have disconnected something or had a small glitch - all the little (actually quite large but due to scale they look little) panels can be swapped in and out, no biggy.
Yes, this was always the plan to open whilst still building, no big deal at all, see the last year of WHL.
Ticket office has been functioning for many years in the old office - at some point they will switch to the new office - no biggy.
No the cladding was not a late addition - you couldn't use scaffolding to take it up, each panel is massive.
 
A test event with 5000 fans? So we are re-running the first one again? Meaning there will be two more to fit in (assuming the plan is still for 3 events. Would holding 3 events have been a local authority requirement, or just our preference to scale up the numbers?) Or the report has got the figure wrong

EDIT : Just read that this will be the small test event with the fire marshalls mentioned before. Then bigger tests end of Dec/early Jan. Makes sense. Fingers crossed.

Interesting to see an increasing amount of quotes from Poch, Lloris and various others about the challenges with the stadium delay. I know a lot of people will be sceptical about the impact but I completely believe that its unsettling, and its a testament to Poch that we've had the start to the season which we've had in spite of this.

The good thing is that hopefully it should provide a lift to the team when we do actually move in, and possibly even a lift when we even know the date
 
We are delighted to be able to give 6,000 fans the chance to visit and explore the South Stand and podium areas at our new stadium during a specially-arranged familiarisation event on Sun Dec 16 (11am - 3pm).
 
Although it would be nice to a look round, would be that much better arriving into a full stadium for a game. Not sure I'd want to go to the test event or wait for a real game...
 
We are delighted to be able to give 6,000 fans the chance to visit and explore the South Stand and podium areas at our new stadium during a specially-arranged familiarisation event on Sunday 16 December, 11am-3pm.

The event will be open for all One Hotspur Season Ticket Holders to apply for one ticket each. Season Ticket Holders can apply for their tickets in groups, which will be considered as a single application – meaning the whole group will either be successful or unsuccessful in their application.

You will be able to apply to attend during one of two timeslots: 11am – 1pm or 1pm – 3pm. Please note, we shall only be able to accommodate 3,000 fans within each timeslot. We shall run a separate application process for each timeslot and any fan wishing to attend either should apply for both.

Tickets will be priced at £1 each so that we can use this opportunity to test our ticketing systems. Season Ticket Holders who have been successful in their application will have the event loaded onto their new 2018/2019 Stadium Access Cards which should be used to gain entry to the stadium.

During the event, fans will be able to familiarise themselves with the journey they will take on a home matchday, with access to both entry level podiums – Park Lane Square to the south and Paxton Terrace at the north.

Here, fans will be helping us test the matchday security procedure and entry through our South Stand turnstiles, with the iconic single-tier stand open for you to explore. All fans attending on the day will enter the stadium via the South Stand turnstiles, regardless of which stand your Season Ticket seat is in.

The South Stand is the home of The Market Place, our street food-style emporium offering a wide range of delicious food and drink options.

In this area you will be able to find the Goal Line Bar – running the entire length of the goal line and at 65m is Europe’s longest bar. You will also be able to gain access to the atmospheric Beavertown Tottenham Taproom, home to our very own Microbrewery – a first for any stadium.

Food options in The Market Place include:
- N17 Grill
- Linesman
- Chicken House
- Naan & Noodle
- Smashed Olive

Food and drink on the day will be sold at matchday prices, details of which will follow. To speed up service and provide the best possible visitor experience, only cashless payments are accepted at our new stadium. Purchases can be made via any major bank card or via mobile payment methods such as Apple or Google Pay.

You can also enjoy some of the entertainment options that The Market Place will host after matches – including Legend appearances and live DJ sets.

You will have access into the South Stand stadium bowl itself so that you can get a feel for the incredible fan experience and unique atmosphere that the proximity of seats to the pitch will generate on a matchday.

The day will allow fans to visit our new Spurs Shop at the Tottenham Experience – the recently-opened largest football club retail space in Europe – for a great opportunity to do some last-minute Christmas shopping. Season Ticket Holders can show their Stadium Access Card on the day to claim a 10 per cent discount in store.

Our brand new Paxton House Ticket Office, located to the north of the stadium, will also be open for fans to see.

Applications will open from 10am on Monday 3 December on our e-ticketing site and close at 5pm on Wednesday 5 December. All applicants will be notified whether or not they have been successful via email no later than 5pm on Friday 7 December.

Season Ticket Holders with access requirements should apply as detailed above. Successful applicants will be contacted directly with specific information around access for this event.

Further events will be held in due course. We look forward to welcoming you for this exciting preview of our new home.

Think I’d want to save the moment for the real thing personally, you can’t get that first step in to the new stadium back...
