Tottenham revealed the prices for season tickets at its under-construction new stadium, and "they will become the most expensive in Britain," according to Matthew Smith of the London DAILY MAIL. The club moved out of its White Hart Lane home at the end of the '16-17 season "in order to construct a new 62,000-seat arena on the site." On Monday, the club revealed how much the season tickets will cost, including in the south stand, which will be a single tier for 17,500 fans -- "the largest of its type in Europe." The cheapest season ticket anywhere in the stadium will cost £795 ($1,105) for adults and £397.50 ($552.63) for kids. Prices of season tickets range between £795 and £2,200 ($3,060). The £2,200 tickets give access to the 1882 plus scheme, "which gives fans complimentary food and drink and access to an exclusive bar." In the south stand, the cheapest adult season tickets are £875 ($1,216), while the most expensive are £1,995 ($2,773), "as they are everywhere in the ground." The club will also "launch a recruitment drive for ex-military servicemen and women to become stewards, security staff and hosts" at the new stadium when it opens. Tottenham hopes to fill 50 full-time and part-time jobs with army veterans, making it the "largest recruitment scheme of its kind across the division." Successful candidates "will go through the appropriate training in time to start their new role" when Tottenham hosts its first Premier League fixture in the early weeks of next season (DAILY MAIL, 3/12).
