Matchday ticket collections/spot-checks
At the start of this season, the Club announced plans to increase the number of random spot checks and matchday collections required for away games to help ensure that tickets are allocated and used in the fairest way possible. Having listened to feedback from supporters, including the views of the Fan Advisory Board and Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust, we will be introducing this process for European away games, wherever possible.
For the AS Monaco away match, a number of tickets will be held for collection in the vicinity of Stade Louis-II. Full information will be sent in the coming days to those supporters who have been randomly selected to collect their ticket on production of photo ID.
