Mystery surrounds online ticket sales

West Ham supporters are asking how travel website Lastminute.com were able to advertise West Ham tickets for sale across the whole season.

It seems all nineteen Premier League games at the London Stadium are availabe before they have gone on-sale to Claret members.

Last week, Lastminute.com were freely advertising match tickets across the entire West Ham season.

You could choose up up to 20 tickets at a time for games which are not yet on sale on the official ticketing website.

The tickets were advertised in the upper south tier, blocks  223, 224 and 225 which should be reserved for general sale.When ClaretandHugh highlighted this  to the club over the weekend, the tickets were mysteriously removed from the website within hours and have not re-appeared since.

Claret members have paid £40 each to be first in line for around 5,000 tickets in the south stand which are expected to be offered for general sale for each Premier League match. Each game is expected to go to a ballot which makes the sale on Lastminute,com all the more surprising.

Update:  A West Ham spokesperson said, “Tickets were erroneously advertised on lastminute.com by a prospective club partner. Once West Ham United officials spotted the error it was rectified immediately. There are absolutely no plans to sell West Ham United home tickets via third party providers.”
