Tottenham fans have been quick to react to the club’s Champions League ticket prices, with opinions split over whether the cost of attending matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is fair or simply another case of supporters being priced out.
Tottenham Hotspur have returned to the UEFA Champions League after missing out on the competition in the last two seasons, and there is genuine excitement amongst fans who are eager to see the club back on Europe’s biggest stage.
The Champions League draw was met with a fair degree of optimism by Tottenham supporters, many believing it to be a decent set of fixtures for the Europa League champions, with a mix of testing ties and more favourable ones.
With the competition set to begin later this month, attention has now turned to ticket prices, as Spurs confirmed the pricing structure for each of their league phase home matches.
Tottenham reveal ticket categories for Champions League fixtures
According to the club’s official website, Tottenham’s tie against Villarreal has been listed as Category B, FC Copenhagen and Slavia Prague are Category C, while Borussia Dortmund has been placed in Category A.
This announcement has triggered a wave of responses from supporters, with opinions divided on whether the prices represent good value for money or not.
One season ticket holder wrote: “So I have got to pay over £100 to watch us against Dortmund for my season ticket seat? These are s***e prices mate.”

Another argued: “You are serious? They should all be Cat C for this initial round.” A different fan suggested an alternative: “They should offer a deal. £200 or less for all games for season ticket holders.”
Others were more blunt, with one adding: “£99 for Dortmund at home? Absolute disgrace, my Champions League semi-final ticket was cheaper.”
Another fan questioned the value by writing: “Great pricing? You taking the piss? That will be 80 odd quid for a Dortmund ticket.” While one more added: “Absolutely not great prices, but fans like me will still be ripped off for their money.”
