TOTTENHAM have been blasted by their official supporters’ trust for raising season-ticket prices for next term by six per cent.
The North Londoners cite “a significant increase in matchday costs outside of our control” as well as a “need to continue to operate on a sustainable basis” as the reasoning.

But the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust (THST) said they were “hugely disappointed” for its members.
Spurs have some of the priciest season tickets in England.
There has only been one season-ticket price increase of 1.5 per cent since their plush new stadium was opened in April 2019 – until now.
Though the THST says the club using the lack of previous hikes and the increased matchday costs as justification “holds no water”.
The supporters’ trust also branded the removal of new senior concessions from the 2025-26 season by the club as “unacceptable”.
Their statement added: “The club says the number of senior concession season tickets has risen to almost four times the number at White Hart Lane and says the increase is not sustainable.
“We say these changes pull the rug out from under the feet of pensioners after years of loyal support.”
Existing season-ticket holders have until May 20 to retain their seat for next season.
Spurs copped flak earlier this season for increasing matchday ticket prices this term, which saw the THST protest outside the stadium ahead of the first home game of the campaign against Manchester United.
Tottenham were revealed to be the richest club in London in January following the results of the latest Football Money League from number-crunchers Deloitte.
Their revenues for the 2022-23 campaign of £549million were higher than Chelsea and Arsenal – making them the eighth wealthiest in Europe for that season.
They are understood to make around £4.8m per Premier League fixture they host.
