Getting back at night
The stadium itself warns that the walk to the main Stratford station can take up to 80 minutes after an event. Stratford has the Jubilee, Central, Elizabeth, DLR and Overground lines, so you have options, but on a weeknight the last Jubilee and Central trains leave just after midnight. Friday and Saturday nights the Jubilee and Central lines run all night.

Queues at the station
The stadium warns that the pedestrian route to the main Stratford station can take up to 80 minutes after an event, and roads stay closed for about 2 hours after the final whistle or the end of the concert. It does not describe a station queue system. Stratford has several stations: if the main one is packed, walk 10 minutes to Pudding Mill Lane (DLR), or 15 minutes to Hackney Wick (London Overground) or Stratford International (DLR and Southeastern).
If you miss it
Night buses N8 and N25 leave Stratford Bus Station for Oxford Circus from about 00:15 to 00:35 and run until after 04:00. The DLR to Canary Wharf runs until 00:50 (23:50 on Sunday). Black cabs use a temporary rank at Pool Street after events. Hackney Wick is a 15-minute walk if Stratford is jammed, but no last-train time was found for the Overground, so check the TfL Go app first.

How a visitor gets a ticket
Members first, then general sale
West Ham is in the Championship in 2026-27 and plays its home games here. The club sells tickets in phases: bondholders, then Claret & Blue members, then season ticket holders' additional tickets, then general sale. For West Bromwich Albion (31 October 2026) the general sale opened about 28 hours after the members' window did. With more than 50,000 season tickets sold, the general sale is the realistic way in but it can sell out. The club's Ticket Exchange lets season ticket holders resell seats at face value; the pages read do not say whether others can buy on it. Concerts and athletics at the stadium are sold through Ticketmaster, the stadium's official seller; hospitality is sold separately.
In England it is a criminal offence to sell or pass on a ticket for a designated football match without the organiser's written authorisation. Buy football tickets only from West Ham's own ticket office or Ticket Exchange, and concert tickets only from the stadium's official Ticketmaster page.

We never link unofficial resellers: tickets bought there are cancelled at the gate, and in the UK reselling football tickets without the club’s authorisation is a criminal offence.

Getting there
Public transport
Use Stratford, the main gateway: Central and Jubilee lines, DLR, Elizabeth line, London Overground, and Greater Anglia and c2c trains, with 58 trains an hour. The stadium says it is a 15-minute walk (another page of its site says about 20). Stewards, signs and road closures guide you.
- Stratford station: 15 minutes on foot to the stadium. Stratford International (DLR and Southeastern high-speed trains) is also 15 minutes; Hackney Wick (London Overground) 15 minutes; Pudding Mill Lane (DLR) 10 minutes.
- On event days there is no access to the stadium island for people without a ticket, and roads close three hours before football matches.
- Buses 388, 308, 339 and D8 stop near the park; many more serve Stratford and Stratford City bus stations (25, 69, 86, 97, 104, 108, 158, 241, 257, 262, 276, 425, 473).

Driving and parking
Don't drive. The stadium tells you to think seriously about your journey and use public transport; the closest car parks are at Westfield Stratford City.
- Roads around the stadium close three hours before kick-off (football) or doors (concerts) and stay closed for about 2 hours after the final whistle or the end of the concert.
- Motorbike parking is at Stratford International and Stratford Westfield. Blue Badge information is on the stadium's accessibility page.
- The whole of London is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), 24 hours a day: check your vehicle on TfL's ULEZ checker.

Taxi and ride-hailing apps
Black cabs use the rank on Montfichet Road, outside the Northern Ticket Hall at Stratford station. The stadium does not mention minicabs or ride-hailing. Uber and Bolt operate in London; expect to be picked up away from the closed roads around the park.
- For the trip home, black cabs use a temporary rank at Pool Street.
- No official pick-up point for app cars (Uber, Bolt) is published.

Bags and documents
Large bags are not allowed and anything bigger than A4 is refused entry. All bags are searched and there is no left luggage at the stadium: the stadium advises you not to bring a bag at all.
- Everyone may be searched: have your coat open and take off your hat at the search areas. Some events set their own search policy.
- The permitted and prohibited items list is in the stadium's ground regulations (the 2026 Summer Ground Regulations were current when we checked), which we could not read. West Ham may add its own matchday rules.
Documents: You must show your ticket when asked, and sit only in your ticketed seat. Tickets remain the property of the event owner until you leave. The pages we read do not state a photo-ID rule, the ticket format at the gate, or whether the stadium is cashless: carry your passport and a charged phone.
