West Ham now have 8,300 tickets available for each and every Premier League match after reducing the number of season ticket holders.

With 8,300 on general sale each game, 3,000 reserved for away fans and 3,600 Club members in corporate hospitality the number of general season ticket holders is now just over 45,o00 from the 60,000 capacity.

The change means that West Ham can increase their ticket revenue this season while allowing new supporters and those returning after some time away to watch games.

London Stadium ticket revenue peaked at £27m before the pandemic but is set to smash that record with more general price tickets on sales and extra games from the Europa League group games adding to the total.

While the Hammers sell some of the cheapest season tickets in the Premier League they need to find a way to increase matchday revenue if they want to compete with the top six clubs.

    Sean.
    Did the Club reduce the number of season ticket holders to increase revenue by selling on a match by match basis, or did the a significant number of season ticket holders not renew and Brady found her 50k waiting list was non-existent?

        I’m confused. I thought part of the Olympic Stadium/GSB promise to fans and the public was to make football affordable to the masses?
        A calculated and frankly cynical cull of season tickets to create potential increased revenue seems to me to fly in the face of that promise?
