I may be wrong but I thought probably members who have joined the priority waiting list, followed by the general waiting list.

Was wondering whether Band 4's can purchase a Band 5 ticket at their appointment.

I don't think there are going to be many band 5 tickets.

I can't see them letting you drop a band either

There's fewer than three thousand band 5 STs. You won't be allowed to drop a band

You know the score. Money down takes priority over years of service!

Hopefully you will be in front of my boss and his wife who are on the list hoping for a Band 5 (Wolves and Ipswich fans respectively).

It was advertised as first come first served.

I'm holding out for some band 5 season tickets - I wanted three, but am nowhere near the top of the list. I'm increasingly starting to worry they will have run out by the time they get to me. The seating plan that has been marked up with the band borders has a very small area for band 5. Gold was tweeting that we would have over 40,000 STHs next season. Very few of these will be band 5. Judging by the seating plan, I think the 3,000 quoted on this thread is optimistic.

I assume 15% of our 54,000 capacity cannot be sold as STHs due to away fan obligations for cup games. That's 8,100 seats gone, leaving a maximum of 45,900 available for STs. Away teams will usually get 3,000 for a league game. If we sell 40,000 STs, there will be 11,000 seats available for each league game. If we sell the maximum STs (45.9k) there will be 5,100 tickets for sale.

You've missed out the 3600 Hospitality and the Newham freebies. Can't see many match tickets being available unless they open up some of the covered seats.

Bluddy Hell - we're going to need a bigger stadium!

What about the Parcelforce site near West Ham station?

We could campaign to get the lower tier moved back where it was - that would get us some extra seats ...... :shock:

5,000 newham freebies,3,600 corporates. The latest estimates are 2,500 tickets for purchase per match.
The part time supporters and those with families that cannot afford season tickets are going to get hammered.
Its wrong in my book.
Also with 40,000 season tickets any cup final allocation will be a complete bloodbath.
(wishful thinking of course).

Imaginary children and plus twos who may not even support West Ham will no doubt have equal chance of cup final tickets to those of us who've been going for 10, 20, 30 40+ years.

You also need to remember the glossy brochures season ticket holders were sent for Club London etc which included priority for semi final and final F A cup games as part of the package..

PP's are for those that go away and fair enough.
There are an awful lot of season ticket holder that have been there a very long time that dont go away.
Is it conceivable that a new cat 1 season ticket holder would get priority over someone who has a seat for 10 years or more but in a lower band?

Totally agree with you Mushy, I'm band 3 myself and think the whole thing has been unfair to exsisting season ticket holders but the club don't care !!

The amount of people I know, many not even whu fans, who now have better seats than me is unreal.

They want the dollar and thats all that matters im afraid....

Those who didn't renew at their appointments will be in front of those on the waiting list, as well as their +2s I assume, so the number of tickets available once it goes beyond current STH will be minimal.
