Ticket news for MLS match

West Ham United can confirm the club will receive a ticket allocation for the 2008 MLS All-Star Game to be played in Toronto, Canada on 24 July.

Prices and selling dates will be revealed shortly. These will be sold through the ticket office in the normal order - bond holders, season-ticket holders, members and general sale. Full details, along with information about the rest of the North American tour, will be published on whufc.com as soon as finalised.

In the high-profile MLS All-Star Game, the club will take on a selection of Major League Soccer's best players. These will be chosen from the 14 participating clubs, under the name of the MLS All-Stars and could potentially feature LA Galaxy and England's David Beckham. The fixture will be played at BMO Field, home of Toronto FC.

West Ham United and England defender Matthew Upson said: "It is a fantastic opportunity for us to take on the MLS All-Stars in Canada. Football is huge over there right now and it will be a really exciting match in front of a sell-out crowd where we will get to test ourselves against some of the best MLS players which will serve as great preparation for the new season."
