West Ham soldier on with Ticketmaster deal despite Oasis situation

The Hammers have extended their partnership with the ticketing giant despite the ongoing legal battle with the band

West Ham United have extended their partnership with Ticketmaster despite the ongoing legal battle with the band Oasis.

The Hammers have been using Ticketmaster as their official ticketing partner since 2016, and the new deal will see the partnership continue until 2027.

The decision to extend the partnership comes despite the fact that Oasis are currently suing Ticketmaster for allegedly overcharging fans for tickets to their 2023 Knebworth Park shows.

West Ham's decision to extend their partnership with Ticketmaster has been met with mixed reactions from fans.

Some fans have welcomed the news, arguing that Ticketmaster is a reliable and efficient ticketing provider.

Others have expressed concerns about the company's business practices, particularly in light of the ongoing legal battle with Oasis.

In a statement, West Ham United said: "We are delighted to extend our partnership with Ticketmaster. They are a world-leading ticketing provider and we are confident that they will continue to provide our fans with the best possible service."

Ticketmaster said: "We are proud to extend our partnership with West Ham United. We are committed to providing the best possible ticketing experience for fans and we look forward to continuing to work with the club in the years to come."

The legal battle between Oasis and Ticketmaster is ongoing. The band is seeking damages of up to £2 million, claiming that Ticketmaster overcharged fans by up to £50 per ticket for their Knebworth Park shows.

Ticketmaster has denied any wrongdoing and said that it will "vigorously defend" the lawsuit.
