West Ham United supporters wishing to watch the Irons take on the cream of the Premier League from the best seats in the house next season will be charged a whopping £63 to do so.
The club yesterday released details of the 2008/09 match ticket prices and those wishing to watch Category A games in Band 1 seats will be charged an incredible £63 - a figure that equates to £1260 over the course of the season*.However it isn't just the best seats that will cost you a small fortune - the cheapest seats (Band 4) will still be sold at £45 each (or £900 per season*) for Category A matches.
This year there will be just two price categories - A and B. Category B prices - which will allow you to see fixtures against the likes of Stoke, Hull and Middlesbrough - start at £35 (£700 per season**) for Band 4 seats and rise to £51 (£1020 per season**) for Band 1 seats.
Seats for a family of four could therefore cost up to £195*** per game for non-season ticket holders; a figure that will once again price many ordinary families out of attending live matches.
Details of all 2008/09 ticket prices can be seen here.
