**Most West Ham fans are satisfied with the board’s decision to reduce season ticket prices ahead of next season.**
We, West Ham fans, were gutted when our relegation was confirmed on Sunday, but for some, there was a shining light: ‘Oh, at least our season tickets will be cheaper?’
That’s where a lot of us thought would be wrong. Last time we went down, the club kept the prices the same and said we were getting four extra games for the money.
Despite being in a financial predicament, the board couldn’t have done that this time; the fans would have kicked off, and there would have been a record low number of season tickets sold at the London Stadium by some distance.
Luckily, they didn’t do that. In a statement released by the board of directors this morning which said that Nuno was set to stay at the club. It also said the club would be discounting next season’s season tickets by ‘up to 30%.’
Obviously, there weren’t many tickets reduced by 30%; the majority of the tickets were reduced between 10-20%, which is still pretty good, more than expected at least.
I think this is good, about as good as we could have expected from David Sullivan in the situation he’s got the club into.
Another thing the club should do to try to appease fans is to throw the cup games into the season ticket package, at least the first rounds we play in both the Carabao and FA Cup.
A small reduction in price and two extra matches on top of the already extra four would be more than enough, but I don’t think the board will do that for the fans.
