The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust are up in arms after the club’s latest announcement regarding the ticket prices for the Europa League fixtures.
Europa League ticket prices at Spurs’ stadium
According to The Daily Mail, an adult ticket for the clash against Qarabag at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium cost £30 while Spurs decided to charge £35 for the clash against AZ Alkmaar.
The price increase led to a drop in attendance, with only 53,438 spectators attending Thursday’s game, which is 9,412 below full capacity.
However, despite this, Spurs have decided to charge a higher price for the clash against AS Roma on November 28.
THST not happy with Spurs announcement
It was announced on Friday that Tottenham’s clash against Roma would be ‘priced equivalent to Category C fixtures’. The cheapest Category C ticket is £38, while the most expensive Category C ticket (not including hospitality) is £81.
THST revealed that they had asked the tickets to be made available for a lower price and admitted that they were disappointed by the latest announcement.

Decent attendance for Europa League fixtures
An attendance of 53,438 for a Europa League group stage game against Alkmaar on a Thursday night is actually pretty decent.
I am sure that the club are confident that they will get a near full house against Roma, even though they have jacked up the price.
While the match will likely be a dead rubber, the glamour of playing one of the biggest clubs in the Serie A elevates the size of the game.
