Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to double major non-football events - Access All Areas
Description

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (cap. 62,850) has been granted planning permission to increase its major non-football events from 16 to 30 annually, including concerts, rugby, boxing and NFL games.

Haringey Council approved the resolution last Thursday, following extensive consultation with local residents and businesses.

Tottenham Hotspur has pledged to maintain its community ticket scheme, ensuring local residents receive complimentary tickets and a new 24-hour priority ticketing window for concerts.

Since its opening in 2019, the stadium has hosted concerts by artists including Beyonce, P!NK, Travis Scott, Guns N’ Roses and Wizkid. The stadium is set to host events for the London Borough of Culture in 2027 and UEFA EURO 2028.

The venue has generated approximately £900 million annually for London’s economy, supporting around 3,700 full-time jobs and generating an additional £478m of GVA in London, according to a recent study by EY.

Live Nation Entertainment (LNE) has revealed that Travis Scott’s 11 July concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium drew more than 48,500 attendees and grossed over $6.6 million (£5m), marking it his largest headline show to date.

Scott is also understood to have broken the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’s merchandise sales record for any event to date at the venue, including the NFL.

LNE said that seven shows in, at the halfway point in Scott’s tour of the UK and Europe, his shows had grossed more than $23m (£17.6m) with a collective attendance of nearly 200,000.

The tour kicked off on 28 June in Arnhem, Netherlands at GelreDome, and has since involved shows in Krakow, Zurich, Nice, Antwerp, Hamburg and London.

Following the deaths of 10 people during Scott’s performance at the Astroworld Festival at NRG Park in Houston on 5 November 2021, £1 is being contributed from every ticket sold for the current tour to the Cactus Jack Foundation – an organisation dedicated to “uplifting Houston youth through toy drives, scholarship programs for HBCU college students, and supporting educational and creative endeavours”. So far, $250,000 (£192,000) has been donated to the foundation from the Europe/UK leg of the tour.
