West Ham United season ticket price may be inevitable after cash flow twist
West Ham United are facing possible cash flow issues this summer already with season ticket decisions potentially affected.
Rising ticket prices over the years have shifted the burden on fans as clubs often mismanage their funds.
David Sullivan isn’t popular at the London Stadium after the arguably terrible spending in the recent transfer windows.
The London Stadium faithful protested rising ticket prices earlier this season as they joined forces with supporters of other Premier League teams.
West Ham United season ticket prices decision set
A two-to-five per cent increase in season ticket prices is almost inevitable due to the financial challenges at the Irons, according to West Ham Football.
The Hammers’ insider revealed on X (17 February) that the Irons were considering early renewal of season tickets for the upcoming campaign to help with cash flow challenges.
While other clubs have offered discounts and multi-year renewal options to fix prices, the East London club have decided against it.
It has been claimed that the window to renew West Ham season tickets will most likely open in early April.
West Ham was exploring an early renewal of season tickets for next season to help with potential cash flow challenges this summer.

David Sullivan mismanagement infuriating for fans
Sullivan made a mistake by appointing Julen Lopetegui last summer, and replacing the Spaniard with Graham Potter was the obvious choice.
The Irons’ chief seemingly waited too long before sacking the former Wolves head coach, which has undoubtedly contributed to their poor season.
While Potter is one of the most exciting managers in English football, losing to Brentford at the London Stadium shows there’s a lot of work to be done.
The Hammers were beaten 1-0 by the Bees on Saturday (15 February) as Kevin Schade scored the game’s only goal, but it could have been worse.
With several fitness issues up front, the former Brighton head coach has had to work with a make-shift number nine in his attack, but Evan Ferguson’s arrival should change that.
Considering the quality of football the London Stadium faithful have had to endure this season, it would be a shame if their ticket prices were to increase.
It will be interesting to see how the fans will react to the developments.
