Under no circumstances will cash refunds be made if either or both Cup-Ties are not played during the season.
4.4 Platinum and Gold Members are included in the Home Cup-Tie Ticket Guarantee Scheme and must be aware of the following conditions:
4.4.1 The Club will send an email to Platinum and Gold Members when their home Cup-Tie tickets have been dispatched. However, it is the sole responsibility of the Platinum and Gold Members to keep the email address registered with the Club up to date.
4.4.2 The credit/debit card details that have been provided to charge the cost of the Season Ticket will be registered as payment details for all Cup-Ties not included within the Season Ticket. As a result, these details must be kept up to date. The Club will attempt to contact the Platinum or Gold Member by email when encountering issues with a payment card although the Club will not accept any responsibility if this email is not read, opened or is sent to an email address that is out of date or is filtered out through a spam guard. In the event the Platinum or Gold Member fails to update their payment information the Club will not issue the home Cup-Tie ticket and the Platinum or Gold Member's seat will be offered for sale for that particular home Cup-Tie. If the payment details remain out of date for any subsequent home Cup-Tie, it will be assumed that the Platinum or Gold Member wishes to cancel participation in the scheme and the conditions in clause 4.4.4 will apply.
4.4.3 It is not possible to opt out of the scheme for a particular home Cup-Tie for any reason. In the event that the home Cup-Tie ticket is not required by the Platinum or Gold Member, the ticket may be sold using the Ticket Exchange Scheme specified in clause 5 of these Terms and Conditions.
4.4.4 If a Platinum or Gold Member wishes to cancel their participation in the home Cup-Tie Guarantee scheme they must put their request in writing/via email and give 28 days notice of the likely date of the next scheduled home Cup-Tie. Upon cancellation, 5 points will be deducted from their loyalty points and it will not be possible to opt back in to the scheme for the remainder of the Season. Silver Members may upgrade to the home Cup-Tie Guarantee scheme at any time during the season however, once the season has commenced, no extra loyalty points will be awarded for doing so.
4.4.5 The Club will deduct funds from the registered card as soon as match details are confirmed. Subject to the Cup draw, the time of deduction may vary but will typically be four weeks before the day of the match.
4.4.6 The cost of additional Cup-Ties will be drawn from the Club's match rate card unless notified otherwise of a different price.

5. The Ticket Exchange Scheme

5.2 If a ticket is sold through the Ticket Exchange Scheme, the following refunds will be credited:
75% of the ticket value for Silver Members
80% of the ticket value for Gold Members
85% of the ticket value for Platinum Members

6. Away Season Ticket

In the event that the total cost is less, the appropriate credit will be refunded at the end of Season 2009/2010. Likewise, if the Club requires additional payments towards the end of the season, your Credit/Debit card will be charged prior to sending out the match tickets.
6.2 The seats allocated at the away game will be the best available as specified by the host club. Except in special circumstances e.g. medical reasons, it is not possible to make specific requests on where you are seated, however you can specify on your application the details of other Platinum Members you wish to sit with at away games. Tickets will be automatically dispatched to the Platinum Member's address. The Club will send an email to notify the Platinum Member that the ticket has been dispatched, therefore it is important to keep your personal details up to date.
6.3 Platinum Members are not able to apply for extra away tickets in addition to their Away Season Ticket unless the away tickets go on general sale.
6.4 Loyalty points for the Away games will be allocated at the prevailing rate as and when they occur.
6.5 In the event that the away ticket allocation at a certain stadium is not sufficient to accommodate all of our Platinum Members, the tickets will be allocated based on the quantity of loyalty points held by the Platinum Member. To minimize the chance of this occurring, the Club has capped the number of Platinum Members to a maximum of 500. This number may be reviewed during the season.
6.6 Platinum Members will receive priority on away tickets in the event of away Cup-Ties. Platinum members can opt out of the Away Cup-Tie Guarantee Scheme if they wish.
6.7 For the 2009/10 Season the Away Cup-Tie Guarantee Scheme will not apply for possible away matches in The UEFA CUP. Platinum Members wishing to attend these matches must apply in the usual way for all season ticket holders. Tickets will be allocated in line with the Club's loyalty point system.
6.8 It is not possible to cancel the Away Season Ticket once the season commences. No refunds can or will be given.

7. Season Ticket Waiting List
7.1 To be part of the Season Ticket Waiting List, you must be a One Hotspur Bronze Member. Priority will be given to supporters who are on the 2008/2009 waiting list to maintain their position or move up the list should any supporters above them decide not to join One Hotspur Bronze.
7.2 If a supporter wishes to be adjacent to another supporter on the waiting list, they must apply for One Hotspur Bronze at the same time. If they are already on the 2008/2009 waiting list and wish to be adjacent to each other on the 2009/2010 list, the supporter closest to the top of the list will be required to move down the list to the place where the other supporter is situated. Any such requests should be submitted in writing to the One Hotspur Members Office.
7.3 Only one seat will be granted to each person on the waiting list. Therefore a One Hotspur Bronze Membership must be purchased for each supporter wishing to be on the waiting list for a Season Ticket.
7.4 In the event that a Bronze Member is offered a Season Ticket, they will have 2 working days to decide if they wish to purchase it. In the event that it is purchased, £5 will be deducted from the cost of the Season Ticket and the Bronze Membership replaced with a Silver Membership. In the event that the Season Ticket is declined, the place on the waiting list will be retained and the place offered to the next eligible supporter on the waiting list.
7.5 If Season Tickets become available to the Family North Stand, these will only be offered to Bronze Members who are accompanying Junior Bronze Members. The conditions outlined in 7.4 still apply.
7.6 Bronze Members will be notified of their position on the waiting list in writing.
7.7 A Bronze Member will be charged an annual administration fee of £5 to stay on the Season Ticket Waiting list, however membership of One Hotspur Bronze must also be maintained. If this does not happen by the published deadline, it will be assumed that the supporter no longer wishes to be on the waiting list and all supporters below them on the list will move up and the place will be taken.
7.8 The Club reserves the right to offer Season Tickets as prizes for promotions from time to time. In addition, the Club will run these monthly draws where Bronze Members can win the chance to purchase a Season Ticket immediately.

8. Concession Tickets
8.1 The Club offers concession tickets in the Family North Stand and these are available to supporters who are either under 16 or over 65 years of age on August 16, 2009. When applying for a Junior or Senior Citizen Membership for any of the membership tiers, it is imperative that the Member provides proof of age with their application along with a photograph.
8.2 The concession membership card must be presented at the turnstile before access will be granted to the Stadium. Any adult Members attempting to gain entry with a concession ticket will face a ban from the Stadium and their membership being cancelled with no refund issued.

8.4 Concessions will be required to present their membership card. Full price will have to be paid if the card is not presented.
8.5 The Club will, from time to time, carry out random checks within the North Stand to ensure that people in possession of concession tickets are within the required age ranges. People found to be abusing the system may be removed from the Stadium immediately. No refunds will be offered and further action will be taken (see clause 8.2 above).

9. Loyalty Points
9.1 Loyalty points will be awarded to Members for either joining One Hotspur Platinum, Gold or Silver with additional points being awarded when attending away games or home Cup-Ties. Bronze and Lilywhite Members will be awarded points each time they attend a match, home or away. The amount of points issued will depend on the grade of the game and will be detailed through the Club's Communication Channels. In determining the allocation of loyalty points (which is entirely at the Club's discretion), we take in to account a number of factors such as the relative attractiveness of the opposition, the competition, the stage of competition, the day of the week, the time of year, venue of the match, typical travel distances for the majority of our fans, and the availability of the match on live TV or Spurs TV Online internet streaming.
9.2 Loyalty points will count in the event when demand exceeds the allocation of tickets (e.g. Arsenal away or a Cup Final). The Club will clearly advise via the Communication Channels the number of loyalty points required to be able to apply for tickets to certain fixtures. The Club has altered the way tickets will be allocated to One Hotspur members in the event that the Club reaches a Cup Final from the 2009/10 season. Full details will be communicated to all members if this situation arises. Alternatively, full details can be obtained from the Ticket office at any time.
9.3 When loyalty points are used to allocate tickets for away fixtures, all Members must each have the required number of loyalty points individually, when applying for tickets in a group. Only the member of the group with sufficient loyalty points will qualify for a ticket. Contrary to previous seasons, tickets will NOT be issued based on the average number of points.
9.4 Members can check their loyalty point total by visiting the "My Account" page in the Ticketing section of tottenhamhotspur.com
9.5 The Club reserves the right to allocate away match tickets with official Club travel packages. In such circumstances, loyalty points may not apply.
9.6 Any queries relating to a member's loyalty points MUST be raised with the Ticket Office in writing/via email. Any queries relating to points allocated for matches prior to the season before the current campaign will not be considered.
9.7 Should a Member or Season Ticket Holder miss the date of renewal, they will be treated as a new Member, with their loyalty points total returning to zero.
9.8 Loyalty points will only be awarded for tickets purchased via the Ticket Office, telephone lines or website. No points will be issued for tickets purchased at turnstiles.
