Tottenham have been praised for their decision to move ticket prices for their UEFA Champions League game against Dortmund from Category A to Category B.
The Lilywhites earned Champions League football after lifting the UEFA Europa League with Ange Postecoglou last season.
Tottenham have had a good start to their European campaign. Spurs’ most recent 4-0 win against Copenhagen lifted them to 10th place in the standings.
But fans will be demanding more from their club’s performances on and off the pitch.
Dortmund vs Tottenham is now Category B
Tottenham saw several thousand vacant seats against Copenhagen, which reflected poorly on the club.

Soon after, the Tottenham Supporters’ Trust blamed Spurs’ unaffordable ticket prices for the embarrassing turnout.
However, the club has since announced that their game against Dortmund will be moved from Category A to Category B.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Tottenham expert and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham has welcomed the change.
“The club have obviously seen sense in the lower attendances due to the ticket prices for the Dortmund game from Category A to Category B,” Wenham said.
“I think that makes sense. There was no basis for Dortmund to ever be Category A. They’re not Real Madrid, they’re not Bayern Munich.
“So I’m glad that some sense has been seen there and hopefully we’ll now get a full stadium before that game in January against Dortmund, which will be one we probably need to win if we want to finish in the top eight.
‘Originally, they were charging a Category A for Dortmund, which would have been £80. I mean, that’s just obscene.”
Tottenham’s home atmosphere is a growing problem
Tottenham have won just three of their last 20 games, a record that Thomas Frank has been tasked with ending.
Guglielmo Vicario came under fire when he pointed out the lacklustre atmosphere in Spurs’ 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League.
Tottenham fans are not the type to jump up and down when their team are on the back foot.
As a result, a decrease in ticket prices and improved performances may be the only way to change their declining atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Either way, if such an atmosphere continues, the Lilywhites could be on track to extend their dreadful home game record.
