Tottenham fans are furious at the club’s decision to scrap senior season tickets from 2025, labeling the new policy ‘appalling’.
Spurs confirmed on Wednesday that OAP concessions would only apply to matchday tickets from the 2025-2026 campaign, with senior season ticket discounts ‘reluctantly’ removed for sustainability reasons.
The north London team also announced that season tickets would increase by six percent between 2024 and 2025, prompting fans to accuse the club on social media of ‘theft’ amid the current cost of living crisis.
Tottenham’s season tickets are among the most expensive in the Premier League under the current pricing model. They range from £803 per year for the cheapest adult seats to £2,233 for the most expensive plan.
The Football Supporters’ Association wrote on X of the club’s decision to scrap the OAP discounts: ‘This is Spurs’ new policy for OAP ST holders: TThe older you get, the more you pay! Unless you qualify between 2024 and 2025, you will never get an OAP ST discount. Ever. It doesn’t matter if you live to 100. Spurs are the 8th richest club in the world.’
