No More West Ham Tickets - Ipswich Town News
Town will be getting no more West Ham tickets after selling out of their initial allocation of 2,500. The Blues requested a further allocation but their application was turned down.
Despite the increased capacity at Upton Park the Hammers are only obliged to give 10% of their previous capacity. Town Ticket Office Manager John Ford told TWTD: "Although they have a bigger stadium today than the start of the season their 10% figure was set with their original stadium configuration (as ours is) and next season they will have to provide more for away supporters, as we will."
West Ham expect to sell out their seats for the Bank Holiday weekend clash.
