Millwall allocation raises questions over away-ticket distribution

A sell-out away end still leaves a fair question: how were West Ham's Millwall tickets divided? West Ham Till I Die reports an allocation of 1,774, while some supporters say only 1,428 were available through the normal ticketing process. Those are reported figures, not a verified count of tickets withheld.

The article says the Fan Advisory Board had been told 5% of away allocations would go to Club London, about 89 tickets in this case. A further 50 were understood to be reserved for players' families and sponsors. It also says some accessible and player allocations are handled directly and do not appear online.

Sources close to the ticket office told West Ham Till I Die that distribution followed arrangements agreed with the Fan Advisory Board. The club's position, as reported by the article, is that no block of tickets was deliberately hidden from supporters. The publication suggests a breakdown of each allocation as a way to answer the remaining questions. That is a proposal, not an announced club measure.
