Tickets West Ham (A)

[jlove]

There seems to be engineering work today but it's almost an hour (from Kew Gardens) otherwise. I'll keep an eye on it; it's the simplest route for us if it runs right through.

It seems (at the moment) that there is no engineering work scheduled on the North London Line for Sunday, 3 Oct. There's work every weekend before and after, it seems, but the amount of rail work across the network is reduced dramatically to 2 specifics on that day, which I presume is due to the London Marathon.

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Yes its great
Get on at Richmond
Get a Seat
Read a Paper
And after a while you are there

which station for west ham?

 

[nick logan]

The Clapham branch is shut on Sunday 3rd

But you can go from Richmond, Kew or Gunnersbury (assuming Gunnersbury does not close an hour before the game !!)

Hackney Wick on the Way

Stratford after the game

I thought the common message was to avoid Stratford?

 

[Judio1999]

Trouble is the train at Hackney Wick could be full of everyone who have got on at Stratford

Hoping my cousin doesn't want to go as his Dad has promised me that I can use his WH season ticket

Hoping my cousin doesn't want to go as his Dad has promised me that I can use his WH season ticket

That sounds like a high-risk strategy!

 

[Leonardo]

That sounds like a high-risk strategy!

WH are my 2nd club as much as you can have one from living in their manor as a kid (explains why one of my brothers is a season ticket holder), almost living next door to their goalkeeper Ludo Miklosko in Buckhurst Hill (lucky my mum and dad pulled out when they realised because they thought footballers and parties!) , and going to football training sessions with Trevor Brooking. So lower risk than you might think and I shall politely clap Benrahama when he scores

That's what I was told by a WH season ticket holder

 

[Judio1999]

Does anyone know when the club will send out the E mails to the Members who are chosen for the 5 % ??

I am guessing they will be sent about ten past two this afternoon for a two o clock sale ??

 

[the beast]

how many thickets did we get

 

[Gazza Bee]

how many thickets did we get

Should be 3000

 

[the beast]

Thanks hope I have another Taps with 2400 to get a ticket

 

[Banana]

Thanks hope I have another Taps with 2400 to get a ticket

You'll be fine.

 

[horshambees]

Not sure, but they are in a dense woodland area.
Perfect for autumn watch.

Is the Box Office open tomorrow? It was shut on Wednesdays recently but was that normal practice? Was hoping to get WH and Oldham tickets in one go or am I just being a big silly?

Yes, closed on Wednesdays unless there is a match on.

Didn't get one

I guess more of the Members have filled in the form this time saying they want a ticket...

 

[Ashford Bees]

Upper or lower tier?

 

[Judio1999]

Think its all pitchside so all lower ??

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Ummm can’t see the option to buy? 2pm today isn’t it?

 

[Ruislip BFC]

5 Purchased Lower tier , hopefully better view than Crystal Palace which was quite awful.

 

[josht]

I've gone lower - the view from the back of the upper stands looks like it's f***ing miles away from the pitch!

[FJBee]

Rail seating ticket booked, lucked out with the last couple of TAPs boundaries, 3309 for this one!

 

[Invipai]

I've gone for upper....would rather be further away but being able to see the action, than lower down and having no depth perception.

 

[PJ]

Logged in & you can buy coach tickets for WH but no option to buy match tickets

Bizarrely the site has also charged me a fiver admin fee.

The ticket site is like the Fawlty Towers of the internet. Could it be worse? Dread ever having to enter it

I thought about getting off at Bow Road and cutting across or Bromley by Bow and walking up.

I went to the Olympic park via Bromley by Bow once during the Olympics. it wasn't far but not the most scenic or salubrious of walks alongside a dual carriageway,

There's several. Hackney Wick in general is a great place for a few drinks, + there's Randy's Wing Bar not too far which is brilliant, stunning chicken in there.

A couple of times tho' the missus and I have mis-timed a day out up around there when West Ham turn up after a game, some of the pubs on the canal are great but change instantly when they do.

Funnily enough, cos I live over this way (Newham) I always have the same journey questions going the other way when going to GP or now LR.

There's a couple of brew pubs right by the station.
The Good beer guide 2021 said that the Crate Brewery had shut down but still seems to be trading per Google. Howlin hops next door also good. Is there anywhere else nearby to recommend?

Did any members get invited to buy a ticket? Any idea of the threshold? My girlfriend with 1440 TAPs doesn't appear to have got an email. I know some got them sub 2000 for Palace.

Did she register her interest to go?

Season Ticket and Premium Seat Holders with 3,300+ TAPs (Ticket Access Points) will be able to secure their place for this fixture by logging in to their ticketing account from 2pm today,

I am a member and bought no problem, but I had 'registered my interest' and know for a fact that I'd be in the top 5% of members for TAPS.

You don't need to wait for an e-mail though, just go onto the ticket site and if it displays that you can buy one, then you can.

Yes she did

I'm guessing a lot of members have asked for this game.

Pretty much seals me wanting the bottom tier if I can get it.

I suspect you have rather more than 1440 points?
I was just interested to gauge what people thought the cut may be for members for most popular games as this threshhold is a "secret". I thought she'd barely get to go to any away games on her own account but seeing at least a couple of members got Palace tickets with only 1800 made me hopeful she wasn't far off. As rebus says this will be a popular one.

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

Boot wrapped round your head get a boot wrapped round your head! You new 3000 TAPs lot with your season tickets since 2014 should avoid this one it’s really not your scene.

 

[Jay Bee]

That gap between the two tiers by the way.....is big. see picture 2.




These pics are from my trip to the away end upper tier in 2017. it looks as though the front tier isn't as curved in the (more recent?) picture above.

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

Ordered and in the bag. 163rd different ground to see us play at, coming up.

[Melman]

Thanks for the info. Haha yes she actually missed the cut off to register for Palace by a few hours. Unlucky hope you can still get there.
