P1 Travel have this morning raised their prices to tomorrow night’s West Ham game against Brighton and Hove Albion at the London Stadium
Less than 12 hours ago Claret and Hugh raised the issue that adults tickets for the mid week game were available as little for £16 which was cheaper than season ticket holders could purchase tickets for the same seat. Additional adult band 5 tickets for this game are priced at £35 plus a £2 booking fee per person on the club’s official ticketing website.
Following C&H’s coverage yesterday prices have mysteriously risen overnight to 39 Euros this morning which translates to £33 without a requirement for a booking fee.
The new price still represents a reduction of £4 (10%) from the £37 a season ticket holder would pay for the same band 5 seat.
However it is a massive of difference of the £16 being touted yesterday which was over a 50% discount on what a season ticket holder could purchase for.
West Ham v Watford tickets for February next year are available for £29 from P1 Travel, a discount of £8 of what a season ticket holder would pay for additional tickets when available.
In June this year, the club announced that P1 Travel, a leading global supplier of match breaks, is to become the Club’s exclusive official International Ticket and Hospitality Reseller.
They were offering discounted prices as a black Friday deal only. I guess it drummed up a lot of interest and free advertising for their company and now they have returned prices to normal. Very smart bit of business.
Season ticket holders could have bought cheap extra tickets through P1 Travel. Non season ticket holders are still West Ham fans but they will now have to pay much more than previously asked. What has this achieved except to cost Hammers fans more?
System is designed for overseas market and you need to claim it is for supporters not from the UK but you can lie
Overseas supporters are still Hammers, are they not? Good luck to anyone who can get cheaper tickets as long as they’re Hammers supporters.
Or just tourists wanting to watch some EPL soccer
