Stan Collymore is absolutely correct when he criticises Tottenham following a scandalous financial development. On March 6, the team released an updated ticketing charter announcing that starting in the 2025–2026 season, no new senior season tickets will be offered. They state that this decision was made because the quantity of OAP season tickets has increased four times over what was previously offered at White Hart Lane.

Every senior ticket that is now in possession will be unaffected by the upcoming season and will receive a 50% reduction. After that, the price will decrease by 5% year until the 2029–2030 campaign, at which point it will match the cost for young adults.

Collymore criticised the team in a tweet on Tuesday, March 12, pointing out that the club’s stand on senior concessions comes at a time when Spurs are enjoying their highest level of prosperity ever.

He asserted that in order to purposefully drive away followers, the “happy clappy best show on earth” is hiding a great deal of “simply outrageous greed.”

In another tweet on the subject, the pundit urged followers of Lilywhites to support the Save Our Seniors Twitter page, which described the move as “immoral, unethical, and unnecessary” on Wednesday, March 13.

Given that the bulk of these fans have followed Tottenham for more than 60 years, it is completely shameful for the club to show such disrespect for its longest-serving supporters.

Daniel Levy and the board have abandoned them in spite of the current cost-of-living crisis, even though that lifetime of service warrants some sort of compensation.

Season tickets for Spurs are now among the most costly in the Premier League; the most expensive ticket costs £2,233, while the cheapest adult seating costs £803 annually.

The announcement was not well received by the Football Supporters’ Association, which tweeted on March 6 that Spurs fans who are not eligible for a senior ticket before the upcoming season will never be eligible for a discounted ticket—even if they live to be 100 years old.

The Evening Standard noted that the Lilywhites made £549.2 million in income the previous season, making them the eighth-richest club in the world.

In addition to receiving around £105 million annually from match-day revenue, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has benefited by holding NFL, rugby, and music events.

The choice about OAPs is made even more repugnant by the club’s rising profits in recent years, which emphasises how little concern they once had for their most devoted fans.

To prevent any more distance from growing between the supporters and the board, Levy needs to carefully consider this option as well.

In a more expensive world, it’s time for Spurs to take the moral high ground and return a little portion of their earnings.

John Wenham of Lilywhite Rose thinks a “great deal” is in the works for one Spurs player, in other Tottenham news.
