    The 4,000 empty seats were mainly due to matchday tickets not selling, almost everyone there last season was a season ticket holder or an away fan.

    If we'd have sold all the tickets at £16, we'd have taken more money than selling a couple of thousand at £35.

    A few years West Ham was a big game now it's just the norm.

    Throw in the price, Sky, ownership and name problems and I'll add to a few thousand people.

    Stoke are similar club and we sold that. So does point more to towards cost.

    Or it could be that our owner didnt have a preposterous outburst just prior to the Stoke game.... I for one was enjoying this season and had some enthusiasm back before Thursday. It's back to square one now.

    £35 against West Ham with the match on Sky ? I wouldn't have gone if I didn't have a season ticket either

    I have no problem with different category games but like somebody else said £20 £30 and £40 might have been better

    It probably didn't help the matter.

    I've never felt less enthusiastic and connected to club as now.

    it only goes to show that Allam really doesn't understand business - it's no use producing a great product if you piss off your customers and get the prices wrong

    Precisely how I feel. I genuinely couldnt name you a team who we play after Saturday until Xmas. This is unthinkable, in previous years I could name every single fixture. Indeed the only reason I know we play Newcastle on Saturday is cos of all the furore around Pardew.

    I agree those would have been much better prices.

    I'm also not sure why we can't change a category when a fixture gets changed to a Monday night and is televised.

    Slightly OT.

    Me and my mate originally bought our season tickets for North Stand after the eviction from E1. Before the Trenchin game we changed our tickets to E4. They sent our tickets out for the North Stand and then they send my ticket out for the East Stand, but my mate didn't get his. He's been trying to sort it out for 5 weeks and last night he finally got his actually season card for East Stand and they sold his seat to someone else. They had his season pass register seat number in the north stand and someone with the same name and a address he'd never heard of.

    If the club can't get simple things right like season passes how the hell can we expect them harder things right?

    That will be nothing to do with the club - it will be the ticket office that are responsible.

    It's a bit of a thread drift, but why the **** were there only 3 turnstiles open for season pass holders to get into the North stand last night? I was outside the ground for about 15/20 minutes again last night, when there was a full section of turnstiles closed by the East stand. If we're not going to get the East stand side of the North Stand then they really need this sorting.

    If there's some rule that doesn't allow a change of category, surely there's some way they can reduce the price of that category, or offer a discount?

    We completely changed our pricing for this season, there are six Cat A games at £50, five Cat B games at £35 and eight Cat C games at £16.

    Quite how West Ham ended up Cat B is beyond me(I suspect it's down to what they charge us).

    That's incredible mate.

    I'm a season card holder so I'm not 100%, but i'm 99% sure we charge £35 for Cat A, and then £26 the rest, we only have 6 Cat A games as well.

    We get treat as Cat A for most away games, not down to the prestige, but as away clubs know we'll sell them, Fulham charged us £56 for the cheapest, ****ers.

    That's different though, the club shouldn't be fleecing it's own like that, £50 for a home single is a scandalous price.

    I think 3,000 empty seats is acceptable given that.

    Yes £50 to watch a football match is ridiculous , looks like many fans are getting priced out

    It would cost £550 to buy a ticket for every game at those prices, that's less than some season tickets.
