Tamworth have been criticised for their staggering ticket prices for their FA Cup third round tie at home to Tottenham.
The National League side will host Ange Postecoglou’s team at The Lamb Ground on January 12 in one of the most intriguing ties of the round, with the game to be shown live on ITV 1.
However, many fans are unhappy with Tamworth’s ticket pricing for the fixture and have accused the club of trying to cash in on the occasion.
The Lamb Ground has a capacity of 4,963, which includes just 518 seats. Tamworth announced that it will cost £42 for an adult to sit in the main stand, while it will cost £38 for an adult to stand on the terraces.
Supporters aged over 66 will have to pay £37 for a seat in the main stand, with a standing ticket costing £33.
Under-17s, meanwhile, will be charged £34 for a seat or £30 to stand. Under-10s will have to pay £29 for a seat and £25 to stand.

Tamworth’s ticket pricing has provoked a backlash on social media.
One user stated that they not won’t be attending the game due to the extortionate prices.
They wrote: ‘I was going to go to that and root for Tamworth as I’ve seen them a couple of times but there’s no way I’m being ripped off.’
Meanwhile, another user described Tamworth’s approach as ‘abysmal’.
They wrote: ‘That’s abysmal by the club tbh, a chance to get ppl in that may then want to become regulars & boost attendances yet they’ve priced a lot of ppl out of it now & this is more likely to cost them fans than gain them!’.
A further user branded the ticket prices ‘disgraceful’. They wrote: ‘Absolutely disgraceful prices. Should be ashamed of yourselves.’
Another user stated that the prices are ‘shameful’. They wrote: ‘Shameful and nothing to do with the scrapping of replays (which is a disgrace, though)’.
A further comment read: ‘That pricing is an absolute disgrace. You should seriously reconsider what you’re doing. What a joke.’

One user wrote: ‘Wow, just wow. What scandalous prices. That will certainly dampen the mood and what happened to the once proud family club.’
Another user claimed that Tamworth should be ashamed of themselves. They wrote: ‘Should be ashamed of yourselfs hope no one turns up at them prices! Feel for the regular fans having to pay that to see you get hammered’.
