Season Ticket Holders have until 4pm today to pay the balance of their season ticket or risk losing their seat for next season.
West Ham Supporters were forced to pay a £75 deposit by April 17th this year with the balance due by Sunday 31st May.
Writing to season ticket holders who have not paid the balance West Ham emailed supporters today telling them:
“If you miss this deadline your seat for the final season will be released for sale and as a result you will lose your priority status for the new Stadium.”
Season Ticket prices increased by five per cent for the last season at the Boleyn ground before a move to the Olympic Stadium the following season when prices are set to reduce.
Does anybody know if a better seat becomes available through a non paid season ticket balance, a fully paid can swap his seat ?!
Yeah, we got three of those thru the letterbox yesterday lunchtime, even tho’
a) it doesn’t leave a great deal of time till today’s deadline!
b) the club’s got eMail addresses (so quicker & virtually free, rather than the cost of three posted letters), &
c) we paid the balance a fortnight ago…
Mercifully my 10p/minute phone call was answered promptly, and after I quoted him our order reference the guy confirmed that we were all paid up and sent an eMail to that effect.
I’m guessing the club needs the money for new players rather than a new IT system, but still a needlessly worrying half hour – I obviously wasn’t the first panicky ‘phone call he’d had that day.
