Tickets go on sale on Wednesday for QPR’s forthcoming trip to White Hart Lane to face Tottenham.

Capacity: 36,214

Address: Bill Nicholson Way, 748 High Rd, Tottenham, London, N17 0AP

Main Telephone: 0844 499 5000

Box Office: 0844 844 0102

By Car

Assuming you are coming from out of town (if you’re not then why are you taking the car?) then take the M25 to junction 25 and then the A10 towards Enfield until it reaches the North Circular A406. Turn right into Fore Road A1010 which then becomes the Tottenham High Road which runs past the ground.

Parking

Basically, you’ll be lucky to find any within a mile of the ground. The local residents are kept happy with a stringent, blanket ban on visitor parking on matchdays so unless you live nearby or have a blue badge forget it. The ground guide states that some local businesses have taken advantage of this by charging up to £15 a car for the use of their facilities. The Harringey Irish Club opposite White Hart Lane station offers parking for £10. Pay very close attention to road signs if you are trying to park nearby, otherwise the old advice for London games about parking further afield and using public transport applies. All other suggestions from people with local knowledge would be welcome via the comment facility below or at loftforwords@yahoo.co.uk

Train

Trains run every ten minutes from Liverpool Street to White Hart Lane, in fact National Express actually lay on extra services on matchday. The journey time is 22 minutes and the cost is £6.40 return. The nearest tube station is Seven Sisters on the Victoria Line. This is estimated to be a 15-20 minute walk up the Tottenham High Road to the ground – if you can’t face it then try buses 149, 249, 279 and 349 up the road and past the ground although allow time for the traffic.

Coach

As per usual for London matches, no official or supporter club coaches running for this one.

Drink

As ever with a London game everybody will probably do their own thing, and may well choose to drink in town. With the ground accessible through the Victoria Line the establishments around Kings Cross and St Pancras could be a decent bet, although I expect most going by train to use Liverpool Street and therefore any of the several pubs around there. The Harringey Irish Club opposite White Hart Lane station is the away fans haunt nearer the ground. Other recommendations can be found here.

Tickets

QPR have an allocation of 1,600 tickets – 1,400 less than they had for this fixture last season – but have temporarily added 20 loyalty points to the accounts of all supporters who attended ten away games or more last season to ensure all qualify for the first batch of tickets here. They’re priced £41 for adults, £22 for under 16s and £24 for seniors. There are five wheelchair and four ambulant disabled spaces priced the same with a carer admitted free. They go on sale to those with 170 points from Wednesday, 150 from Thursday, 140 from Friday, 100 from Monday and 30 from next Tuesday. The fixture is all ticket.
