I'd be grateful if you could explain as to who has now been disadvantaged by the way the Spurs ticket sales have been handled.
OK before you get on your high horse, I'm not saying its right or wrong, but in my opinion, which i am entitled to, by increasing the upper numbers, less people "who make the effort" are going to be able to get tickets.
Effectively it is just reducing the number of people given the chance to go, Spoon feeding the fans who, and I tread carefully when I say it "found an excuse" for why they missed out on Arsenal tickets. Those people are still going to have to get themselves down the club or on the phone on a given day, so no real change.
Someone in the 'old' second bracket is now in the fourth bracket, and in the case of a high demand game, such as Arsenal, they may not even get a chance to purchase a ticket. OK, I agree this may be fair as those with higher points deserve first chance to get tickets, but as we all know people who don't want to go pass their cards on to people who want to go. The old system at least gave more people a chance to get tickets.
By raising the upper limit and creating 3? new bands, the ticket office are effectively giving themselves an easy ride. They are unlikely to have another occasion where they have to sell 3 games at once including a Home tie with Man Utd and an away trip to Arsenal.
And that is my explanation.
