Tottenham have announced that all three of their Champions League group games at Wembley will be played to the stadium's full 90,000 capacity.

Wembley and the FA agreed in May to host Spurs in Europe next season and for all their games during the 2017-18 season while their new stadium adjacent to White Hart Lane is built.

The work has included the north-east corner of the Lane being knocked down this season, reducing capacity, and it had been expected that Wembley's top tier would be closed unless they faced a significant European team.

But all three matches, which will be drawn on August 25, will be played to a 90,000 capacity and Spurs have also announced a multi-game ticket option ranging from £70 to £150.

In a statement, the club said: "We are delighted to confirm that we shall be opening the full stadium capacity for all of our Champions League fixtures next season.

"We shall be launching a group stage multi-game ticket that will be on sale shortly. Not only will this ticket ensure your place at all three group stage matches, it will also secure you the same seat for these and for any subsequent matches in the campaign that you buy tickets for.

"We have also sought to offer favourable pricing with three-game packages ranging from £70 to £150.  Concessions will be available in all areas at 50% off adult prices."

Tottenham began building their new stadium in earnest earlier this year, after acquiring the remaining land, which is part of the multi-billion-pound Northumberland Park development.

The club also announced earlier this year that they had frozen ticket prices for the 2016-17 season.
