I contacted supporter services and they replied and, with their agreement, below is the text of their response. This should clarify the situation. Mistakes happen, and, generally, don't think anyone can really complain about the service from the ticket team.

Good morning Drew,

An error was made this morning and an on sale for Tottenham did show for a brief time. However this shouldn’t have shown as no official communication has gone out from the club.

Due to our progression in the FA Cup there are multiple dates still in the offering of when this game could be played. Therefore you will receive a refund today and further information with regards to the correct date and time for on sale will be communicated in due course.

Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused.


Just to clarify, I didn't actually buy a ticket so won't be getting a refund!


The correct response, as any sensible person would agree.

(But not those who bought tickets for themselves or others who weren't in the top tier for loyalty points)

Correct decision.

Mistakes happen.

In breach of The Sales Of Goods Act 1979?
Given a price had been agreed and a contract to sell had been completed?

Nope - this has been tested numerous times with online selling. The club have no obligation at all to honour the apparent sales.

Almost as if they had to knock it up in a panic-induced hurry you mean?

"Have we missed anything out?"

"Nope - looks good to me - send it out"

"Sent it!"

"Thanks - think we got away with that one."

Waiting for a response on payment as pending on credit card on whether they will not process or refund.

Fairly poor that the email didn't cover this in any detail.

Thank goodness we were not playing Spurs on the original planned date. Just think of the bed wetting over shifting 3,000 tickets in only 20 days.
Oh hang on - what did you say? It's now 32,000 in 19 days for that weekend?

Was this the dress rehearsal for the Cup semi final ?
Probably put them on sale at the same time as the last batch of league games !!

Out of interest, have you had the refund yet?

Not yet, still have the original payment showing as pending, so not sure if the club are not going to process this or they are going to issue a refund, Will have to keep watching my account closely over the next few days

The club regularly do this for home Cup games, although I guess they don't have to post most of these due to Print at Home.

Lower tier for Premier league matches. The other two tiers as needed for cup games.
