Yup that would seem to make sense given that they state on the website there are 'tickets available in various areas of the stadium'. Some of them will obviously be unsold hospitality seats being offered at discounted prices, hence the £50 premium seating.
I wonder how many season tickets are still available. They say 'a very small number are still available (single seats only)' on the website. 300-500 maybe? If so you'd expect these remaining seats to have sold quite quickly for the Spurs game, my guess would be that they are struggling to shift the £50 premium seats. Still expect them to sell out though.
Just had a look at Viagogo and there are 350-400 seats available for the Tottenham game. I'm sure people away on holiday has something to do with this, but even so five years ago it would have been a real struggle to get a ticket to a weekend match against Spurs. Just demonstrates the impact of the price increases and to a lesser extent the quadrant expansion.
It would appear ticket availability will not be a problem apart from the home games against the Dippers, Arsenal, Chelsea and City this season. The member tickets from the club will still be fairly hard to get hold of for all games given that they only sell 4,000 on a match-match basis but if your prepared to pay the inflated Viagogo price you should be guaranteed tickets to 15 out of the 19 home league games (though you would probably have already bought a season ticket if you were planning to go to this number of games, unless the Compulsory Cup scheme put you off).
Of course you can get into all games on a match-match basis if you're prepared to pay a ridiculous amount for hospitality packages.
