Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

Looks like I've got standing tickets for both days. Not taking anything for granted until I have them physically. Must have paid about £35 in handling fees and service charges.

Both days?! Let's hope the first day is good. I think you might have gone a tad overboard.

Bought for day two first, but found a Friday one listed for resale later. Flying over on Thursday anyway, so why not. Besides, I'm a bit of a fan.
 
Don’t wanna sound like a bell end but is saw GNR at the O2 n great corporate seats and free bar... they were awful. People were walking out to the gig as they were so late and every song lasted 15 minutes

Sounds a bit like when I saw them at Hammersmith Apollo for their Chinese Democracy tour and Axl didn’t bother trundling not stage until about 10:30pm so about half the crowd had to leave long before the end of the gig.

I've had that experience with them more than once, then got stung at the London Stadium because I didn't put my brain into gear & realise they wouldn't get away with that brick in an outdoor stadium. So I missed the beginning on that occasion, rather than the end!

A load of mates went to that gig and said it was phenomenal. I went to The Stone Roses the same night at Wembley and I thought they very disappointing FWIW!
 
Is this the Guns n roses thread now? :D

Saw them last summer in Oslo, and it was good fun. Axl's voice is not what it was though, and Slash did take his time with those guitar solos. But overall a good experience.
 
The club have now published full Sanctions and Banning policy. I posted an extract of this in the Ticketing thread, but most of it applies to behaviours in the stadium.
Details here :
https://ask.tottenhamhotspur.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011038339

(This is an example (for me) of where the Trust does useful work. Encouraging the club to be transparent about the impact of certain types of behaviour, and to have a documented process to be followed. Clear for everyone, no excuses for not knowing).
This one is a bit vague though :

Social Media

Where identifiable, individuals using discriminatory language via social media will be treated as if the offence has been committed at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium or any other Club premises. The Club will insist any supporter found to have directed discriminatory abuse attend an educational session with an equality and diversity specialist from the Football Supporters’ Association before any ban can be considered served.

I assume this means racist or discriminatory language towards players and other staff?
 
When was that one?
Sounds like it

June 2006, the gig finished around 1am IIRC but thankfully there was a late train from Euston so we didn’t have to leave Hammersmith early; like many.

Cheers for the heads up :eek: shall be sure to get to WHL on time (if I get a ticket) then!
 
I could swear I've seen 7pm - 11pm listed as GNR's slot somewhere. I guess that means curfew is at 11pm and the band will go on around 7.30pm and play for at least 3 hours, as they usually do. Anyone complaining about their shows being too long can fudge off. The continued inclusion of certain songs is definitely debatable though.
 
Thought these fag-packet calculations about earnings from the stadium might be fun to share, picked them up from SSC:

"General Admission: 42K-ish ST holders + 9K-ish Members = 51K
There are two elements as I understand it, seat reveunue (almost pure profit) and concession purchases (which I guess is roughly 70% profit after all expenses).
What is the average seat price for General Admission? No idea - three categories of games, seats available at multiple pricing levels - complete guesswork but my ballpark is £75-£80: £77.50 it is

For discretionary spending, I'm going to use a pie and a pint model (P&P), and assume that the average concession spend is exactly that. My guess: average price of P&P = £7+. Profit per head = £5 (at least)

So, the maths: £77.50 (ave seat price) + £5 (ave net profit on food/drink) = £82.50.
Multiply that by 51,000 ...aaaaand we have £4,207,500

Away fans = 3.1K
3.1K multiplied by standard PL away ticket price of £30, plus the P&P of £5 net = £108,500

Premium = 8.5K, maybe creeping towards 9K
Goodness knows! What I have done is reversed this; if 8,700 Premium Members contribute £200 (net) per game (which they surely must), in TOTAL the club is making just over £6 million NET per game.

In addition to the 19 PL games, we have been averaging 9 HOME cup matches (League, FA and CL). So that totals at 28 home games multiplied by £6 million = it's a world record of £168 million (about 10% larger than the current top two matchday earners Real Madrid and Barca).

10 years ago and even 5 years ago our matchday revenue was consistently between £40-£44 million."

And this, of course, totally excludes any earnings from other events that we allow the venue to be used for. As well as the hoped for Grail of a higher stadium sponsorship deal than would have been possible at our old home.

If this is close to being true, then this is the machine that should be able to fund incrased transfer spending maybe from the summer onwards if sustainability has been factored in and reasonable run-time elapsed for confidence to be high enough.
