Des, it’s free IIRC, though I may have joined via a link on the members’section and wouldn’t have noticed any requirement to join first

It’s free to be on the waiting list.

Getting tickets while you’re waiting to get to the top of the list probably requires you to be a claret member though. I don’t think many people who aren’t claret members will get tickets for most games.

This is what Spurs had in April, I checked them as it's recent and they'd have wanted the full allocation

Allocation: 3,005 including 139 restricted view tickets, 14 wheelchair user/personal assistant pairs and 14 ambulant/personal assistant pairs.
Prices: Adults - £30; Over-66 - £29.50; Under-18 - £27.50; Under-14 - £16.50.
Wheelchair and Ambulant tickets are priced as follows with a free of charge personal assistant ticket. Adults - £30; Over-66 - £29.50; Under-18 - £21; Under-14 - £12.50.

Interesting. I'm sure away figure has always been around 2.8k in recent times so interested how the extra 200 seats are given especially given the reconfiguration in the corner bit actually reduced the seating for away fans.

Edit: Didn't notice we gave the restricted view seats which are the ones often left empty at end of the rows so that would tot it up to over 3k.

Can't understand either how away fans pay 30 quid (I'm guessing the away ticket cap is still in place) but home fans in the exact same stand would be paying 40 quid for that fixture.

IIRC restricted view is right at the back of the upper tier, it's the gantry that restricts the view.

£30 is the price cap for all away fans in the PL.

It's not just that, it is also seats near the front of sections where the hand railings obscure your view a bit.

Only time I sat in a RV seat was up there, back when the away fans were lower North stand, and was one of those.

It was nowhere near as bad as that photo posted above, but I believe similar seats all around the ground are classified the same, there are quite a few of them.

Just feels odd we change our fans in the same stand with same views 35-40 quid tickets. Surely whole of Witton should be 30 quid then not that it will matter much when the North is down as they'll be very few match tickets available and they'll be snapped up in about 5 minutes if they even make general sale.

There's a 30 quid price cap for away fans.

It's nothing to do with what you actually get or how it compares to home fans, it's to limit costs for away supporters.

That's terrible, but are they standing up?  I guess they have no choice if everyone in front of them is standing, but if they are then the view would be very different seated.

For non claret members, season ticket holders can buy extra tickets after the claret window has closed.  I did this for friends several times last season, it was only the last couple of games where this became really difficult.  I guess there will be more claret members next season though, so you are probably right it will become almost impossible for non members.

If there's not that many tickets coming up then they're just killing the hope of those further down the list by the list existing.

Would it be better to just do a ballot with them? At least then you have a chance

Why? Is quite hard to think of what you would do differently, apart from not have that £1500 option to go to the top of the ST waitlist, which was shit.

I think Claret members will mostly get tickets to the games they want to this season.  It almost never sold out in the Claret window last season and whilst I'm sure it will this season, those who are able to be fairly quick off the mark when they go on sale should still be alright.
