8,000 plan not to renew season tickets

Over 8,000 season ticket holders will not renew their West Ham season tickets when the season ticket deadline passes next Friday if a Claret and Hugh poll is to be believed.

With over 1,000 season ticket holders voting nearly 61% say they have already renewed with over 24% saying they plan to renew before next Friday’s deadline on 31st May.

That leaves 15% who claim they will walk away and give up their London Stadium season tickets.

With 54,000 season tickets at the London Stadium with an increased 60,000 capacity that equals to 8,200 tickets potentially becoming available.

Last year 92% renewed leaving over 4,000 season tickets for those on the waiting list, the previous year it was a 90% renewal rate meaning 5,000 decided not to renew after the first year.

If the 15% non-renewal figure is accurate it means over 17,000 will have given up their season tickets since the move to the London Stadium in 2016 with a previous season ticket population of 26,000 at the Boleyn Ground in the final season.
