Why cant the club just send me my ticket?

and me

One assumes that these arrangements are what Orient requires (this is what happens when you get involved with soccer clubs).

TBF, the ticketing mullarkey was flagged up some time ago.

We've got our tickets..can't see the problem really.

Think I'll just use it as an excuse not to go

Well, it's looking that way, Darth. The East side of London not really your bag (lucky Richmondian you)



I don't like most of East or North London...going to the Skolars is like visiting a foreign country for me.

Not so Dan, used to hike across there twice a week or so for 40 odd London Knights ice hockey games a season.

Dan, I run the first amateur under 16's team to play in London many many years back against an Under 18 school side, as part of the 5 days we spent in London playing two games I obtained complimentary tickets for the full squad to go to a West Ham game (of course) there were some hard lads in the team but they were so worried about being in the ground with West Ham fans, how wrong they were they left all agreeing they had met some of the nicest people in there lives! and on further visits even though I was offered tickets by Arsenal they wanted to return to Upton Park. It's sad if we can't mix in any area, yes even at Twickenham itself at England union internationals with the expensive cars and picnic baskets with champagne! and strawberries, just like a day at Odsal Stadium LOL!

Dan-I picked my tickets up for Orient and im now hearing they have given me the wrong ones.

Maybe we are underplaying our season ticket numbers as a tax fiddle!

You will be glad to hear they do get it right in the end.
Or at least they did with me second time round.

East London was fine up to 25 years ago which is when I upgraded to Essex.

Apologies Darth, forgot you were a fan of another struggling minority sport (We went there once enjoyed it but not enough to go back...a bit like a lot of Broncos visitors).

Jaybs- I think we can all mix in any area but we don't have to like it (can't help it but my heart sinks when I get out of Wood Green tube stn...it's such a scruffy dump) My family are all from East London but I prefer Twickenham and the surrounding environs. Champagne is great anywhere for me even Odslum.

Easty - you probably know but the Orient ticket muddle in regards to Super Bronco ST holders. One of our supporters realised that Super Broncos hadn't been allocated the best seats which had been promised. He notified the club and that's why they asked for the originals to be sent back so they could be replaced with tickets in the Gallery (I understand these are the premium seats). We got ours replaced at the game last week.

I wondered why the value of our house crashed about then

Ticket farce still means that groups and families at the Stoop who have a mix of premium and standard tix (only dif in the tix is the benefits and most dont need duplicating -free parking etc) and who go and sit together now have to sit seperatly or off their own backs find a way of sorting it out - by manually posting of tickets.
If it wasn't the broncos you'd think someone was pulling your leg

This highlights the problem with the pricing. We could see a mile off that most people would get 1 expensive and one cheaper ticket, as if you want to use the West stand bar, you get a guest ticket anyway. (the benefits didn't exactly encourage people to get two of the expensive ST's).

We all got the Sooper Doopers because we have extra people crop up during the year and we wanted them all to have access to the bar...not sure we will do this again though. None of us use our car park passes either.

Think they should give a bit more thought to the ST structure next year.

Other problem in theory for Orient, junior tickets are in the west stand, super dooper tickets are in the west stand gallery. I'm sure my lad will be ok sat on his own!

If we can sit where we please at the Stoop why is it any different at this game?

On the (small) off-chance I want to take a mate to the Bulls game I assume he won't be able to sit with us as I have exchanged my ST vouchers for a allocated seats. Or do you think I would be able to change my tickets so we can all sit together? This is when someone from the blasted club should be lurking on the forum that will actually post answers to fans simple queries like this one.

In the "good old days" of Forum 1 and Forum II, we used to invite people like Nic and Tony to do an hour or so answering questions direct from the Forum on-line. Pre submitted questions were answered with some follow up on certain topics, technology is there, all they need do is use it.

I've not got my ticket yet. How do I go about getting it - is there any way of doing so without schlepping to Twickenham and doing it at the club?

Best tactic is using your season ticket to go to home games rather than arranging a date and swerving the Catalans match.

From club e-mail

[iSeason Ticket Holder Info
The West Stand gallery at the stadium has been reserved for Super Broncos, while there is a block in the West Stand that has been reserved for Challenge and Junior Broncos.
All Season Ticket Holders must have a valid Leyton Orient ticket to access the ground. To retrieve your ticket, please post your voucher to us and we will send you your ticket by return. On the match day please take your ticket and your Season Ticket.
Super Broncos who collected their Leyton Orient tickets before April 15 have been issued with a ticket for the West Stand rather than the gallery. Please can you therefore return your current Leyton Orient ticket to be exchanged for a gallery seat. This can be done at the ticket office on match day or by posted. [/i

So basically pop a piece a paper the club already know you have into the post and the club will send you back a ticket to an address they also already knew.

This is complete and utter lunacy. Either they send me my ticket-which i believe i have paid for- in the post or they can shove this game up their proverbial

Spot on. Complete farce.

Stop that bolshy talk.
