If you’re visiting London and you’re a football fan, watching a Premier League match is one of the best experiences you can have. I personally enjoy catching a game whenever I travel—whether it’s baseball in the U.S. or football in Europe. This time, I had the amazing opportunity to watch Tottenham Hotspur play against Manchester City, and of course, I couldn’t miss the chance to see Son Heung-min in action.
In this guide, I’ll share everything you need to know about buying Tottenham tickets, shopping for official merchandise, and visiting the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on match day.
Most tours to Dazaifu depart from Hakata Station, the main transportation hub in Fukuoka. The meeting point is typically near the Lawson Department Store, where you’ll find guides holding flags to gather their groups.
These tours are perfect for solo travelers, families, or first-timers in Japan. They offer a mix of guided commentary and free time, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Even if you’re traveling alone, you’ll feel comfortable and welcome as many participants tend to be solo adventurers.
Before heading to my seat, I wanted to buy a Tottenham jersey and some souvenirs. I had heard that match day stock sells out quickly, so I arrived at the stadium four hours before kick-off.
This turned out to be a great decision. The store was nearly empty when I arrived, but just an hour later, long queues started forming. If you want to buy a jersey or other merchandise without the crowds, I highly recommend visiting at least 3–4 hours before the match starts.
Home vs. Away Jerseys: What’s the Difference?
When buying a football jersey, there are two main types:
Replica Jersey (Fan Version) – The standard version made for fans, priced at £105 (~$130).
Authentic Jersey (Player Version) – The same version worn by players, featuring better materials and a tighter fit, priced at £145 (~$180).
If you’re a casual fan, the replica jersey is a great choice. However, if you’re looking for something closer to what the players wear on the field, the authentic jersey might be worth the extra cost.
Away Kit Discounts
When I visited, the away kits were on sale—the authentic away jersey was only £82.5, cheaper than the replica home kit. If you’re open to different designs, it might be worth checking for discounts on previous season kits.
If you’re looking to save money, consider these options:
Women’s sizes were available for £88, slightly cheaper than the men’s version.
If you’re under 160 cm (5’3″), the Youth XL jersey is a great alternative. It looks almost the same as the adult version but is priced at £68 instead of £105.
The kids’ kit, which includes a jersey, shorts, and socks, costs £44. However, adding a player name and number costs an extra £10, and adding the Premier League patch is £5, bringing the total to £59.
For anyone buying gifts for young football fans, this is an affordable and thoughtful option.
If you want a custom name or a player’s number, Tottenham offers an in-store printing service.
🔹 Location: Near the store’s checkout counter
🔹 Processing Time: About 5 minutes
🔹 Cost: £10 for name & number, £5 for league patch
I arrived early, so I had no wait time, but as kick-off approached, the line for printing got very long. If you’re planning to customize your jersey, do it as soon as you enter the store.
If a £105 jersey feels too expensive, a Tottenham Hotspur scarf is a great alternative.
Basic scarf: £15
Son Heung-min design: £17
I initially planned to buy a match day scarf, which features both competing teams’ logos. However, a store employee (who happened to be Korean!) told me these are only officially sold for major matches like Champions League games.
Outside the stadium, some street vendors were selling match day scarves, but I wasn’t sure about their authenticity.
Many people at the stadium were carrying Tottenham-branded shopping bags, so I assumed they were free. But they actually cost £5! Definitely not worth it, so I skipped it.
For general admission, stadium gates open two hours before kick-off. Since there aren’t many cafes nearby, many fans wait inside the store or around the stadium.
I had a premium seat ticket, which allowed me to enter earlier and access the lounge, where drinks and food were available. If you’re interested in a more comfortable match experience, premium seating might be worth considering.
