Club London corporate members face steep increases

|

West Ham Club London corporate members claim they have seen price increases in excess of 17% with some claiming to be forking out an extra £500 more per season. Corporate Hospitality member founders were required to pay a joining fee up front and commit to three years for the London Stadium hospitality areas, apart from the joining fee they were required to pay monthly by direct debit.

That initial three-year deal will now expire at the end of this season and the club has decided they want three-year commitments again from their corporate clients although they will wave members paying an additional joining fee again.

The small print in their contracts allows the club to raise prices by 3% per season and while the prices were frozen for the first three years, now they want to increase prices after general season ticket holders also saw rises between 8% and 91% last week.

Although the club does not openly publish corporate price list the initial Club London pricing were thought to be:

Arnold Hills – Joining Fee £1250 (£1500) Monthly Payments £340 (£408) – 3-year term, cost per season £4080 (£4896)
Royal East – Joining Fee £1250 (£1500) Monthly Payments £320 (£384) – 3-year term, cost per season £3840 (£4608)
Forge Lounge – Joining Fee £750 (£900) Monthly Payments £240 (£288) – 3-year term, cost per season £2880 (£3456)
Great Briton – Joining Fee £750 (£900) Monthly Payments £220 (£264) – 3-year term, cost per season £2,640 (£3,168)
Academy bar – joining fee £500 (£600) Monthly payments of £120 (£144) – 3-year term, cost per season £1440 (£1728)
Boleyn Bar – Joining fee £500 (£600) Monthly payments of £140 (£168)  – 3-year term, cost per season £1,680 (£2,016)
