Thousands receive golden ticket in ballot

Thousands of season ticket holders received a text message and email they have been hoping for this afternoon informing them they had been successful in the ballot for the last game of the season against Southampton.

Up to 8,000 received the message on top of 2,000 who had been previously selected for the Crystal Palace game.  Earlier in the day, a small number of tickets were made available to Bond Holders on a first-come-first-served basis.

Around 20,000 Season ticket holders received a text and email that they have not been successful.

The 10,000 with a golden ticket must now accept or reject the ticket, pay for it and fill out a health questionnaire before they can return to the London Stadium on Sunday 22nd May for the Premier League finale.

There will also be home fans attending the West Bromwich Albion game but no West Ham away fans will be permitted at the Hawthorns.
