A source close to the ticket office apologised and explained that the Email was sent out my mistake by Hammers ticketing partner Ticket Master during an email activation process ahead of the new season.
Our source told us “As part of the new season set up TicketMaster are activating email accounts, apologies for any confusion this has caused. I will liaise with them directly about this unplanned correspondence.”
Earlier today West Ham Vice Chairman, Karren Brady confirmed season ticket holders would received their access cards and welcome packs next week. Baroness Brady of Knightsbridge tweeted “Next week your access card and the welcome pack will arrive don’t worry you’ll get it in plenty of time for 1st game”
I wish I did have a season ticket! I received one of these emails but gave not been able to get a season ticket for love nor money. Supporter for 50+ years, academy member etc. etc. etc. but that didn’t seem to amount to much when competing with the other 52999 “West Ham” fans. Where they came from I don’t know, I’ve been at UP with less than 20000 fans on numerous occasions. I know managing the move is challenging in the extreme but could more have been done to favour actual West Ham fans? So far, I’ve paid £20 for the Mrs and me to go on the waiting list last season and received no season ticket and no communication regarding our applications. This season I’ve paid another fiver each (discounted because we renewed our Academy membership) and still I have yet to receive anything but the dodgy email referred to above. Not good enough really.
Hi Norfolk Hammer,
I got the email as well, thought it was a bit strange. I have 2 season tickets, but because of my work J know I won’t get to every game. Drop me a line
Would love to share your season tickets but we live east of Norwich: could we work a practical solution? Massively appreciate the offer.
Cheers
David

I couldn’t get season ticket either but am on waiting list and a claret member so that hopefully I can get some away tickets, I got the email at least two days ago, still waiting for my so called welcome gift as a claret member club have gone quiet on that…
