So I'm a long time (relatively) Spurs fan from Australia. Been a lurker on this site for a few years now. Anyway, I'm spending a year in Europe. Sweden specifically. it's been a long time dream of mine to watch Spurs at White Hart Lane and I'm looking at getting to a couple games this year and wondering the best way to go about it.

I've looked at basic spurs membership but I will have my girlfriend attending also and membership for two people (it seems unlikely to get seats next to each other through the guest system) seems excessive for 1-2 games.

I've also seen things like the partnership with Thomas Cook (hotel room & ticket) but I have a place to stay in London already and the combined cost of the deal is pretty pricey for ordinary seats.

I've also looked at making an occasion of it as it's possible to get lounge seats. But at 120-200 pounds per/person, I'd rather a cheaper alternative if possible.

So yeah, any advice on how to get tickets would be hugely appreciated as it seems incredibly hard to get one off tickets.

Thanks in advance guys.

p.s Let's not mention the cricket.
 
Had a pretty long look and it seems like it might just be worth the membership for two people. Can anyone give me an idea on the likelihood of getting two reasonable seats side by side for the bigger games as a lilywhite member?
 
Bigger games will be very tricky. Best bet is to go for a category B or C game with one bronze membership and wait for guest sale. I can't imagine there will be many games sold out in those categories before guest sale is open (this is a one day window before General sale).

Category A games (especially those against Arse and Chavs) will be very difficult to get 2 tickets next to eachother without being bronze members, and even then, you'll need to get them early doors on sale date to be sure of it!
Best of luck with it mate! Let us know how youve got on
 
I have 2 lilywhite membership and can get 2 tickets next to each other for any game. Just be there first on the day they go on sale for members. Games are not selling out as fast as they used to IMO.

I think the plan is one or two B or C category games as well as one of the big guns. Arse is the dream obviously but any of the big names will do. The well wishes are appreciated, cheers! :14:

Good to know. I'll get a membership and look at the process for upcoming games.

Do bronze members have ticket access before lilywhite? little bit confused on that.
 
Yes they do......by one day. So you may feel the extra £10 or whatever it is for Bronze Membership over Lilywhite would be worth it to almost guarantee 2 seats together. But as Taricco says Lilywhite Membership is usually sufficient for games providing you apply for tickets on the morning that tickets become available. I've been a Lilywhite member for a number of years and I've always been successful in getting tickets for home PL games.
