Tyson Fury v Derek Chisora Hospitality Packages & VIP Tickets

Introduction

While Spurs certainly aren’t the best team in the Premiership, they can well lay claim to having the best Stadium and probably the best matchday experience. Sometimes referred to as ‘The new White Hart Lane’ it is officially named ‘The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’ (don’t mention the naming rights they’ve been trying to sell for several years). As the newest Stadium in the Premier League, it is without doubt an incredible experience, from a standard general admission ticket right through to the range of top-class hospitality they offer.

A brief history

Tottenham Hotspur were founded in 1892 and White Hart Lane had stood in one form or another for 118 years. This new Stadium was beset by delays but was finalised in 2019 and while it hasn’t yet been done justice due to covid restrictions, the quality of the facilities almost go some way to justifying its huge £1billion cost.

Quick Facts

At 62,850 capacity, The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the second biggest club stadium in the Premier League (after Old Trafford) and therefore the biggest in London (just 350 seats bigger than the London Stadium). It’s an asymmetric bowl, with a retractable pitch, the first of its kind in the UK. This allows them to switch between turf for the football and a synthetic pitch for the NFL, which can be done in less than an hour.

Why go?

Not for the football, some may say! Even if you don’t support Spurs, it’s worth checking out as a new and innovative Stadium alone. The matchday experience is excellent across the ground and ‘The Wall’, their 17,500 single tier South Stand designed to imitate the Dortmund ‘Yellow Wall’ has to be seen. Being in that stand is an experience, as is simply watching it give the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium one of the best atmospheres in the Premier League.

What are the facilities like?

Brilliant really. Obviously this is expected for a new Stadium but they go above and beyond, with exceptional technology and some lovely touches throughout the ground. The headlines are the Goal Line Bar in the South Stand (the longest in Europe at 65m), the in-house bakery and microbrewery and the huge array of food and drink outlets. The beer selection is excellent and Wi-Fi connection extensive, which is a rarity, just be aware that it’s a completely cashless Stadium.

Are the premium tickets, VIP and Hospitality options?

The Stadium was heavily designed with these in mind and there is a large selection to choose from, with about 8,000 seats in total designated to these areas. These are in the east and west stands (longside), on Levels 2, 3 and 4. Levels 2 and 3 are what many places would call Club Level, although here you’ll find ‘Premium Experiences’, and Level 4 is for the Private boxes.

Most of the packages we offer here at Events Hospitality are in the Premium seats on Level 3, which gives you access to a variety of lounges, bars and restaurants. Some of these will need to be pre-booked, so if you do want a table for dining please let us know when purchasing, so we can give you the available options. There are a large range of experiences from informal lounges and bars, right through to Michelin starred dining in a members-only area.

Our favourite package at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is probably Stratus – it gives you premium seating on the Upper Tier for the match, but before then you’ll have access to the incredible Stratus Lounge – offering amazing panoramic views of both the pitch and London. There is also some great food on offer, as well as a complimentary bar.

Each one we’ve experienced has been excellent, so if you want guidance on the best option for your party please just call us on 0208 053 0278 to discuss.

How to get to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?

Travel to the Stadium is possibly the one thing that lets the experience down a little bit, as it takes a bit of planning. Driving in particular can be a challenge, with no official carparks at the Stadium (unless you’re a VIP member) and most of the roads shut around the ground. The only real solution to this is parking further out and walking in (which does help with getting away afterwards).

If you’re coming by public transport, the closest tube stations Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters, both on the Victoria Line, are a good 25 minute walk away as a minimum, so make sure you factor this in. There are closer stations for the Overground (White Hart Lane) and Greater Anglia services (Northumberland Park) if they work for your route. There are shuttle buses put on from the various stations, as well as Alexandra Palace and Wood Green.

The best way to get in and out of the Stadium for us is pre-booking a taxi, arranging for them to pick you up a bit outside of the road closures, to get away as quick as possible.

What is there to do in the area around Tottenham like?

While the area around Tottenham is improving, there is still a long way to go compared to some other Stadiums. There is a decent array of traditional boozers and more bars and restaurants are cropping up, including a Beavertown Brewery bar. Many fans have their favoured locals, but if you’re coming for the first time we would recommend as much time in the Stadium as possible.

How can I get tickets for Tottenham games?

As with most football clubs, general admission tickets are sold direct from the club themselves. These are released in priority order depending on your membership/points tier, so if you’re not a regular attendee then these will be difficult to get. At Events Hospitality, we don’t sell general admission tickets, but have a range of premium tickets premium tickets on Level 2 and 3, as well as a variety of hospitality and private box packages. Contact us on [email protected] for the games and packages available.

Tickets for Tottenham games will nearly always be e-tickets, sent to you a few days before the game.

Best event?

There are several big games a year for Spurs, so plenty of action. The North London derby is the obvious one, but West Ham is tasty and Spurs vs Liverpool always seems to be goals. Outside of football, they have a good range of concerts and the NFL games are a spectacle.

Most niche event?

There hasn’t been a huge amount so far, we would say the RFL Challenge Cup, but that would offend people.

Cost

Premium tickets start from around £200 a game, with general admission tickets cheaper but much harder to get hold of unless a member.

Type of events

Football, concerts, NFL, boxing

Top Tip

Not much of a tip as such, but walking to Seven Sisters is a pain, so avoid it if you can.

Other than that, if you buy premium/hospitality tickets then get to the Stadium in plenty of time, to make the most of the experience of a new stadium.
