Tottenham's ticket power without Son Heung-min has become serious.
Son Heung-min appeared in front of Tottenham fans ahead of the sixth round of the European Champions League (UCL) league phase of the 2025-2026 season between Tottenham and Slavia Prague (Czech Republic) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 10th (Korea time).
It was an opportunity to hear Son Heung-min's touching last greeting, but there seemed to be many empty seats at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where about 63,000 people could enter. British Football London reporter Aresdier Gold said on his personal social media that `the number of spectators in today's game is 47,281.'
Then one fan left a comment on the news of reporter Gold. He said "This is the East double-decker seat. I'm occupying all the lines, he said, and no one was sitting next to him"I took a picture of the empty Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next to the seat.
The phenomenon of fewer fans coming to Tottenham's home game is getting serious after Son Heung-min left Tottenham. Compared to last season, it has decreased significantly. The average attendance of Tottenham's Europa League group stage last season was about 54,000.
Despite Tottenham advancing to the UCL, which is more advanced than the Europa League this season, the number of spectators is greatly decreasing. About 54,000 people visited in the first round of the UCL League phase against Villarreal, but fell below 50,000 in the last Copenhagen match. Despite Son Heung-min's return to Tottenham in advance, it fell far short of 50,000 in the match against Prague.
The reasons are largely analyzed in three ways. First, it is the absence of a superstar. Tottenham does not have a superstar like Son Heung-min. Tottenham was leading Son Heung-min alone when even Harry Kane left, but now there is no Son Heung-min.
Another is the lackluster performance of the home game. Tottenham are almost winless at home in 2025. Fans, coaches, and players clashed emotionally as boos came out of the home stadium. Lastly, it is a high ticket price. Tottenham ticket prices are the highest in Europe. There are no superstars, and the reason for paying expensive money disappears when the performance is not good.
In response, Tottenham is also lowering its price. Last November, England's The Standard reported that Tottenham's match against Dortmund was the most-attended of the four UCL home games, and was initially classified as a Category A match. Therefore, the cheapest seat on the south stand was £77 (about W145,000), which could have led to the cost of many fans who already have season tickets having to pay an additional £94 (about W177,000). However, the club has now decided to price the match against Dortmund as a Category B match, reports said. It is to attract spectators even by lowering the price of tickets.
