Title: Orient tickets
Post by: Wobbly Bob on Tuesday, February 7, 2023, 13:18:38
Noticed that the first window opened today.

One ticket per person which is fine and just bought one online.
Just out of interest has anyone ever tried a second transaction after buying the first ticket?

Or does one ticket per person equate to one ticket per transaction anyway.

How many are we allocated for this? Going to be a nightmare getting tickets.

I think the away end only holds around 1,000. The whole ground is only around 9,200.

You could do what Ivo Graham did a couple of years ago and AirBnB'd the flat in the corner of the ground!

I think we took around 1300 or so in 2019 so there might be some scope in getting an additional allocation over the initial 1000.

Then again they might have allowed more space for home fans in that stand given their increased attendances this season.

This is getting annoying...not as if we are pissing the league!

Another reason for us to get out ASAP!

Yes that was in a season when Orient weren't doing as well though.

On Saturday it was almost a sell out for the AFC Wimbledon game at 8,639 with 1,245 away fans, so there must be a little leeway.

That was my thinking.
They did ask about uptake on an initial alloation of 1000 so there must be more available if need arises

This one is booked out. Would have to be quick I think. Most fixtures probably get booked on the day of release.

Are you requiring the Pullman Coach or Des Wagons-Lits with full dining service WB?

Nah, given the time of year a heritage trip in a Teplushka is more apt.
One way ticket to the East.
No trolley service.

Are they the ones that you can "crank" yourself?! If so, at least you get a carriage to yourself though? :)

I’m a season ticket holder but it says I can’t buy Orient tickets yet. Is that correct?

Yes, unless you have 325 points (season tickets are 260) then you can’t until 10am tomorrow

What's the liklehood they get to GS?


Title: Re: Orient tickets
Post by: ChalkyWhiteIsGod on Thursday, February 9, 2023, 14:03:51
If they've given us that whole end then they should. I can't imagine a quarter of season ticket holders will be going.

Apparently sold 845 as of today.
Received an initial allocation of 1000 with an additional 250 if requested.

Always a sell out
Orient will give us more and max out on the allocation.
Already had a few messages today asking for tickets.

“Swindon are massive everywhere we go….”

Will do my best fella, I will be sat on the website at 11:30 on Tuesday! In fact might try earlier as I think STFC have a habit of going a bit early with these things?

To be fair the ticket office said they expect them to go on GS but unsure how many.
Not sure if that is the initial 1000 or extra 250
