Vinai Venkatesham told change he must make to improve dire Tottenham scenes
The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust (THST) have put Spurs’ poor home atmosphere and results down to “unaffordable” ticket prices.
Tottenham’s 2-2 draw to Manchester United in the Premier League last weekend saw the Lilywhites extend their record to just three wins in their last 20 home league games.
The dire feat has seen Thomas Frank come under the microscope despite having a decent start to the season.
However, the issue goes beyond the coach and is one that Spurs’ hierarchy must address before further damage can be inflicted on the season.
Tottenham told to decrease ticket prices
Thousands of seats were vacant in Tottenham’s win over Copenhagen in the Champions League.
Indeed, their return to the competition has resulted in crowds of 54,755 and 49,565 despite the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium seating 62,850 fans.
This has led to a decline in the stadium’s home atmosphere, with even Guglielmo Vicario noting the quiet fan support against Chelsea.
Vinai Venkatesham has been praised for his work at Tottenham thus far, where he has made several changes to the club’s communication department.
However, fans have now called on him and the rest of Spurs’ hierarchy to take another look at their ticket pricing.
“Over the last couple of seasons, it’s undeniable that the atmosphere has declined at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium,” part of the THST statement said in a statement on 12 November.
“The reasons are simple – too many empty seats and too many supporters, particularly young supporters, priced out of attending. Thin the crowd and you thin the noise.
“We’re asking the club to make ticketing fair and affordable and encourage the next generation of all match-going fans, so the stands are packed, every match, all season. Fill our home – and we’ll find our voice again.”
With Tottenham fans being priced out of attending games, it is no wonder that the home atmosphere has been dire.
How much are home tickets for Tottenham’s 2025-26 season?
Premier League games are available to purchase on a match-by-match basis where adult prices range from £38 to £109 when bought directly through the club.
Prices vary across different match categories:
| Category | Price | Teams |
| Category A | From £71 to £109 | Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle |
| Category B | From £49 to £96 | Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Everton, Fulham, Leeds, Nottingham Forest and West Ham |
| Category C | From £38 to £71 | Bournemouth, Burnley, Sunderland and Wolves |
Meanwhile, discounts are available for seniors, young adults and juniors. This ranges between £19-£54 for seniors, £28.50-£81.50 for young adults and £19-£54 for juniors.
Still, Tottenham fans are unimpressed with the current pricing.
There have been calls for Spurs to follow PSG’s model and section off one area of the stadium for young people at a discounted price. This would encourage younger people to go to matches and scream till their hearts’ content.
Either way, change will need to come soon, or else Tottenham could face further ramifications in the Premier League.
