Season Ticket Price Rises by over 200%

TicketofficeWest Ham have raised the cost of new season tickets for the coming season. Although 47,000 season ticket holders had their ticket prices frozen, 5,000 new season tickets at the London Stadium must pay an increased price range.

Prices have risen above the rate of inflation seeing between a 5% and 6% added on to existing adult season tickets.

Under 16 prices have seen a massive increase possibly in an effort to reduce abuse and non-attendance which saw many empty seats.

Band 1 Under 16’s will now pay £300 an increase of over 200%, Band 2 kids will pay £250 an increase of over 150% while band 3 will pay £200 an increase of over 100% on existing season ticket holders.

Band 4 and 5 Under 16’s remain at £99!

There are said to be over 55,000 on the season ticket waiting list with under 5,000 getting a chance to buy one.

The club expects one in three to take up the offer despite the price rise.

  1. Words fail me. Turning into arsenal . Glad i moved from band 2 to band 3. It will bite them in the arse at some time.

  2. The gooners dropped theirs as they have no champions league football.The was the official reason but also to appease the mass ranks of wenger out st holders i expect.

  3. I can’t say I’m particularly perturbed by these prices. I know the moaners and groaners are out in force again but these prices seem realistic to me. They’ve still got the kids for £99 but they’re in bands 4&5. That’s fair why would they sell their best seats in bands 1&2 for £99? Concessions across the board seem fair and anything that puts a stop to people buying seats and leaving them empty is good. It’s also worth noting that the haters doubted there was a waiting list of the magnitude that the club boasted but sure enough they’ll sell out again even if they increase the capacity. Unlike some I’m pleased for my club.

    The annual BBC Price of Football study is the biggest of its type in Europe, gathering season and matchday ticket prices from clubs across 23 leagues in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the continent.

    The study also looks at how much UK clubs charge for pies, programmes, shirts, tea and away tickets.

    This year we have analysed more than 1,000 ticket prices in six categories – cheapest and most expensive matchday ticket, cheapest away ticket and most expensive away ticket, and cheapest season ticket and most expensive season ticket.

    Plymouth Argyle were the only club out of 224 who declined to take part in the study.

    West Ham £289 £1,100 £25 my point we were 4th highest at most expensive. Arsenal being very expensive. Any ticket that goes up 100% + is comical. And the 10,000 kids that brady loves to mention will take a large hit . P.s why do some of you call people haters if you question the club?
    Ive followed them for 35 years bringing countless people with me and family. Must be 35 years of hate. PLUMS!

  5. May i futher add with t.v deals being at the highest in the world and the great deal on the stadium. Did the board not say they are working to keep prices really low? Or did i dream that . Haters. Did the football league do a ticket scheme for £20 quid for away supporters again keeping prices down. They most hate football too. Haters. Countless programmes and articles regarding how expensive football is in uk compared to European teams. Haters.
