What Is the Claret & Blue Membership on the West Ham United Website?

Updated

The Claret & Blue membership is the club membership programme named on the official West Ham United website (whufc.com). The site's own description lists "Claret & Blue membership" alongside news, fixtures, match tickets, video and kits as one of the things fans can get from the site. That is the extent of what the official page evidence confirms: it is a membership offering surfaced on the club's homepage, and the specific benefits, prices and sign-up steps are set out on the club's own membership pages rather than in the homepage summary. If you want to know exactly what you would get and what it costs, the club's membership page is the authoritative place to check, because terms can change by season.

What the official site confirms

The homepage description of whufc.com reads that fans can "Get the latest news, fixtures, match tickets, video, kits and Claret & Blue membership from the London Stadium." From this you can reliably conclude:

  • It is a club membership programme, not a ticket, a kit or a news service.
  • It sits alongside tickets and merchandise as one of the fan-facing offerings promoted on the official site.
  • It is associated with the London Stadium, the club's home ground.

The page evidence does not list membership tiers, prices, benefits or a join button, so anything beyond the above should be treated as unconfirmed until you read the club's membership page.

How to find the membership details

  1. Go to whufc.com.
  2. Look for the membership section — on club sites this is usually reached from the main navigation or a promotional panel, and is often labelled "Membership" or "Claret & Blue".
  3. Open the membership page and read the current season's description of benefits, eligibility and how to join.
  4. If a price or login requirement is shown, note it there; the homepage summary does not state whether membership is free or paid, so do not assume either way.

Expected result: you land on a page that states what the membership includes for the current season and how to sign up or renew.

What to check before joining

Because the homepage does not spell out the terms, verify these on the membership page itself:

  • Cost and billing period — whether it is annual, monthly or one-off, and whether it auto-renews.
  • Benefits — for example priority access to tickets, club content or events; confirm each one is listed for the current season rather than a past one.
  • Eligibility and account requirements — whether you need an existing club account or a login to complete joining.
  • Refund and cancellation terms — stated by the club, not assumed.

Common sticking points

  • Season changes: membership packages are typically refreshed each season, so a description you read elsewhere may be out of date. Use the current page.
  • Login walls: if the join flow asks you to sign in, that is a club account requirement, not evidence that membership itself is free.
  • Distinguishing membership from tickets: a membership is not a match ticket. Ticket availability and prices are a separate section of the site.

For anything binding — price, benefits, renewal — rely on the club's own membership page at whufc.com rather than third-party summaries.
