ANOTHER CLUB REDUCES TICKET PRICES FOR NEXT SEASON

West Ham reduce ticket prices after record television deal

22nd April 2015

All season tickets for under 16s will be cut to £99 - £5.21 per match.

West Ham have become the first club to announce they will reduce season ticket prices as a result of the Premier League's record television deal.
Sky and BT Sport have paid £5.13bn for live Premier League television rights for three seasons from 2016-17.
West Ham's cheapest adult season ticket in that season will cost £289, down from between £620 and £940 for the 2014-15 campaign.
The 2016-17 season will be the club's first playing in the Olympic Stadium.
West Ham's vice-chairman Karren Brady said: "We have always said that the move to our magnificent new stadium would be a game changer for West Ham.
"It was a chance to increase revenue, invest in the team and improve our performance on the pitch, but without putting an extra financial burden on the supporters who already come to watch every home match.
"This announcement proves we have kept our promise."
Although the cost of season tickets at West Ham are rising for the 2015-16 season by a maximum of 5%, they will fall again for the following campaign as the new television deal begins.
The Olympic Stadium will have 19,000 more seats than the 35,016 at West Ham's current home, Upton Park, with the club paying £2m a year to rent their new ground.
If they are still in the Premier League in 2016-17, the club say their cheapest adult season tickets will cost £289, which represents a price of £15.20 for each of their 19 home league games.

All season tickets for under 16s will be cut to £99 - £5.21 per match.

Apparently there is limit of about 4k and other restrictions according to talk sport! Also they do not want 30k people in a 50k stadium! Musnt forget they are doing this because they are using stadium at greatly reduced cost, while making huge profit for sale of Upton park! thumbup:

Where's negativity in what i said? Yes great they are doing it but I've stated reasons why they can do it (money) and not wanting an half empty stadium!, (what are fans on here complaining about? Half empty stadium! and i sas quoting what talk radio said? Simples!

Its not for next season.

They will be hoping they do not go down next season and start in the new stadium in the Championship.
