    Hi, anyone know of anywhere I can source 2 tickets to the Carling Cup Final for our end? Still waiting on the Spurs website to announce what the loyalty bonus cut-off was for tickets but doubt I made it

    I could only get a chance at corporate tickets, one of which offered to me was about 420 STERLING, you're probably **** out of luck mate unless you're willing to spend an awful lot on them

    No probs, cheers for the heads up. If I was getting a corporate ticket I'd contemplate spending that amount of loot. Can't believe they are going for 5 times the original worth of £80, scumbags. Will just go scouting on the day over there I guess

    just spotted this on the spurs site....... "All Bronze and Lilywhite Members with 126 or more points that applied in time will now be automatically allocated a ticket"

    That rules me out.That loyalty point figure is quite high ,must be fcuk all tickets left to dish out if thats the case.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 Byrner10


    Yeah very high. I thought I was in with a shot with 65 points, thought I'd less but thats what I had. Not a hope at all. Poxy. Is there many heads from the Spurs board here in Ireland heading over to the game?

    Flight booked alright but not going to bother going i reckon if i don't have a ticket getting on the plane. Not willing to pay a tout 600 euro for one.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 82 ✭✭Meathfan


    Go over anyway and leave it til the last minute to get one...if not find a Spurs pub and have a few drinks.

    I'm going from Galway without a ticket, I'll either blag one one the day, have an illuminous jacket on, and try and blag in as security or get hooped in a pub near their and enjoy us win Ramos first piece of silverwear. Cmon You Spurs!!

    Quite a few according to the poll I posted on here, there's a bunch of us meeting in Covent Garden on Saturday for beers if you're around?

    Not flyin over till sunday morning early. Any pubs anyone mention near Wembley for the people who dont get tickets on the day.. If I dont get a ticket - it'd be good to have a few scoops watching the match with other Irish Spurs fans in the same boat.

    Have heard nothing mate but will post if I do.

    I see people in the Uk getting tickets already on other boards - any sign of them in Ireland yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 858 ✭✭✭RichMc70


    Ticket agencies are quoting between £700-£900 for a single ticket in the Spurs section however in the Chelsea section they start from £250.

    I've a feeling there be quite a few spurs sitting amongst the chelsea come the day.

    Perish the thought...imagine trying not to cheer when Keano makes it 3-2 to us in the 93rd minute


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 82 ✭✭Meathfan


    And god forbid...if anyone gets sick and cant go...please feel free to PM me and I will buy their tickets:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 NavanSpur


    for those travelling without tickets, are you meeting in pub near WHL or Wembley


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 82 ✭✭Meathfan


    Anyone starting to feel sick yet and cant travel that might have a ticket or two:)

    As per club website

    The Club is aware of a number of tickets for Sunday's Carling Cup Final being made available on various internet and auction sites.

    As previously advised, we take the touting of tickets for any match very seriously and, with tens of thousands of Spurs fans missing out on attending the Carling Cup Final due to the sheer demand for our 31,018 tickets, the Club is using all of its available resources to protect the good name of the Club and the interests of the many genuine Spurs fans by identifying, tracing and taking very strong action against anyone attempting to sell their tickets illegally. As such, we have now identified several One Hotspur season ticket holders and members.

    All supporters should be aware that the following action is now being taken:

    - Carling Cup Final tickets, identified as being touted, have been cancelled - without refund - and holders of those tickets will be refused entry to Wembley Stadium.

    - Wembley’s safety and security team have been fully briefed on the block, row and seat number of the touted tickets and, in the very unlikely event that someone gains entry to the Stadium with a touted ticket, Wembley’s stewards, assisted where necessary by the Police, will eject those supporters who then also risk arrest.

    - The original purchasers of the touted Cup Final ticket – and those who have bought a touted ticket - will also see their One Hotspur season ticket or membership cancelled - without refund.

    - Cancelled season ticket tickets will then be offered for re-sale to One Hotspur Bronze members currently waiting for the opportunity to become a season ticket holder.

    - One Hotspur members whose Cup Final tickets and season tickets have been cancelled will also be banned from attending future matches at White Hart Lane and from holding season tickets or One Hotspur memberships for an indefinite period.

    - Any One Hotspur season ticket holder or member attempting to tout their tickets will also put at risk ALL other tickets that may have been purchased as part of a group booking. Tickets identified as being part of a group booking where tickets have been touted will be subject to additional security checks on the day, including photo ID requests. These tickets may also be cancelled.

    - One Hotspur members caught touting Carling Cup Final tickets also risk being “named and shamed” in future match programmes.

    The Club has fully briefed the Supporters’ Trust on its ongoing actions and has received the Supporters’ Trust full support.

    In the next 72 hours leading up to Sunday’s match, the Club will step up its activities to prevent Carling Cup Final tickets being touted. One Hotspur members are strongly advised NOT to tout their Carling Cup Final tickets.

    If you are holding a Carling Cup Final ticket and you are unable to attend the match, you should contact the Ticket Office who will do their best to re-allocate your ticket to a supporter who has not been as lucky in securing a ticket to date.

    Thank you to the many supporters that have kindly assisted the Club in alerting us to ticket touts and for the other helpful information we have received.
