Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust (THST) has hit out at the club's handling of season ticket exchanges, accusing Spurs of "stumbling from one bad decision to another" throughout the summer.
The club on Tuesday announced their resale plans for the upcoming season at Wembley, weeks after the 19-game season tickets sold out.
Fans who have purchased season tickets may sell individual match tickets using the new in-house exchange system following the club cutting ties with StubHub.
Individual match tickets will only be put up for sale if Wembley's 90,000-seat capacity sells out, while a successful purchase of these tickets from the opposite end comes with a £7.50 "booking and administration fee per ticket."
THST strongly objects to finalised plans, and the "belated" confirmation, and have released a lengthy statement in response.
A statement reads: "Such is the impact of TV that over half of Spurs' fixtures are rescheduled for broadcast across any given season. That's before games are displaced due to European commitments.
"This means Season Ticket holders are essentially buying 19 games 'blind'. There will be occasions when real life gets in the way of football and matches will be missed.
"The resale platform should enable fans who can’t make a match give others the opportunity to attend in their place while recouping their money. It's a simple premise.
It continues: "We believe the ticket exchange announcement is the latest in a series of mistakes made by the Club this summer; mistakes that will have a negative impact on supporters and the Club itself.
"Every action has a consequence, and the Club has seemingly stumbled from one bad decision to another, increasingly boxing itself in."

A club spokesman for Tottenham told Standard Sport: "We have historically always operated a system where the ticket exchange system only becomes active when the stadium is sold out, however we do reserve the right to open or close the exchange at our discretion at any stage during the sales process."
