The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust says fans are being priced out of attending games
The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust says “unrealistic and unaffordable” ticket prices are behind the declining atmosphere at the club’s stadium.
Spurs have struggled in their 62,850-seater ground this year, winning three of 20 home Premier League games in 2025. Boos have been a frequent feature under both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank, although the venue did come alive during the club’s successful Europa League campaign.
The club’s return to the Champions League, however, has resulted in lowly crowds of 54,755 and 49,565 for home fixtures against Villarreal and Copenhagen. The Supporters’ Trust says fans are being priced out of attending games and have urged the club to extend its young adult category to ages 18-25 and make young adult concessions available for all matches.
“Over the last couple of seasons, it’s undeniable that the atmosphere has declined at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The reasons are simple – too many empty seats and too many supporters, particularly young supporters, priced out of attending. Thin the crowd and you thin the noise,” a THST statement read.
“For a while, strong results and star power—Harry Kane, and especially Heung-Min Son—papered over the cracks, inspiring thousands of South Korean fans to make a pilgrimage to the stadium.
“Europa League nights last season, with sensibly-priced tickets, proved the point: fair ticket pricing fills the ground, often with the next generation of Spurs fans. And the noise follows.
“This season, the illusion has gone. The Champions League – our flagship nights – has seen thousands of empty seats, in our view due to unrealistic and unaffordable match pricing.
“Even big Premier League games have shown gaps we’ve never known at Tottenham. A world-class stadium without a full house is only half a home.
“The South Stand – 17,000 strong – was a brilliant idea, but it hasn’t consistently fulfilled its potential. It’s not yet the relentless wall of sound we all dreamt of and that’s a problem pricing and access can fix.
“The cure isn’t choreography; it’s people. Atmosphere isn’t a sideshow—it shapes what happens on the pitch. Managers and players say it time and again: noise lifts legs; it’s the twelfth man. Never was this clearer than in our final unbeaten season at WHL, when a wall of sound turned tight games our way. That starts with welcoming the next generation—local kids, young adults, families—so every game feels like a big game.
“We’re asking the club to make ticketing fair and affordable and encourage the next generation of all match-going fans, so the stands are packed, every match, all season. Fill our home – and we’ll find our voice again.”
