No idea what you’re banging on about. £479 for a West stand season ticket is a lot of money

Ok I’ll try to explain, I’m not saying anything about the price in fact the opposite, what I’m saying is that deals have been and are being made at this time and even around Christmas perhaps and I don’t think the calibre of incomings is going to be that great. Maybe Wellens isn’t going to sign a new contract or he might even be leaving? The way Ling sorted out the last window I wouldn’t trust him with my shopping list at the moment. Trying to get people to commit to a ST this early just seems a little strange.?

Yes, the 3rd of May to renew a ST is a ridiculous deadline, even though the chances are they will extend this date. It's only a week or two after the last game of 23/4 !

Also noted this.
So, after 17 seasons in the same seat, mine will now be given away if I am unable (or choose not to renew) barely a week after This season finishes.

If anyone was in doubt that we are now merely Customers - nothing more - then here it is.

Don’t disagree with the customers comments but last year I seem to remember people moaning that we hadn’t sorted season tickets out until late.

I think a lot of clubs do similar. Although would be good to do these dates as early bird rates then full rates in the summer. There are finance options available as well

Last year, the deadline was 2nd June. A whole month is taking the piss.

Pleased they’ve gone a long way to finally end the ghost kids scandal that have been rinsing the club for years

For those moaning about lack of time, you knew when the season ended and the club are still giving you about 6 weeks. Its possible to renew by credit card and given the right circumstances now pay until the end of June at earl bird rates.

I think you’ll find this is a whingers thread mate - no room for sensible posts here.

I’m thinking the supporters might be underwhelmed this coming season?

Every year S/Ts are on sale around the same time, some clubs have been selling season tickets for a few weeks now so we are not on our own in doing so, and I think differently and can see us bringing in some good players this summer, our stock will have risen and we should be able to get a lot of our targets over the line depending on what budget is made available. It’s obvious really that at this stage of the season clubs need to try and get in S/T cash early as it helps cash flow. By limiting the amount of S/tickets it also creates demand and fans won’t want to miss out.

It also gives us guaranteed funds to 'do business early'...

This tight deadline should help purge some of our legacy fans.

But savings? What about savings?

Hope so good addition to the squad

What a thoroughly damp squib, with the hype expected it to at least be RW signing a new contract or that we have identified where the new ground is going to be and have got permission to build and have mega investors on board .

RW us contracted up already isn’t he?

Was video part of an upcoming the apprentice task?

Sorted mine today. I was due money back from the ticket exchange but it had not been added automatically to my ticketing account as it should have been. I emailed and the club came back and said there is a glitch in the system (fancy that). Fair play to the club though they added the ticket credit manually to my account and I bought the ticket at a reduced price earlier this morning.

Love the video

How can you tell if your ticket sold once listed on the exchange?

My 'history' shows I listed mine twice, but nothing to say if sold or not and I thought you only get the credit if it sells?

Your account history shows a posted ticket transaction when listed, then a sold ticket transaction if sold.

I also know when next season starts. August, not May.

Just checked and guess what, my ticket exchange refunds aren't being added back either I'd suggest everyone double checks before renewing.

And to make matters worse, I'm also being quoted the normal price if I buy now, not the discounted early bird price

Think I'll wait for these 'glitches' to be resolved.

In addition to ticket exchange, I understand that all season tickets holders who attend every game this season, will be entitled to a season ticket discount. How this will be achieved will be interesting.

I guess the poor buggers in the ticket office will be working unpaid overtime again.

Can't remember but isn't there a concession for people with disabilities/on DLA? Be interested to see if there were then any Equality Act concerns regarding effectively denying them the same discount if they were unable to attend even a single home game on health grounds.

If there’s one thing that Orient do extremely well it’s “ Glitches”
Glitches with streaming , ticket exchanges, etc but they do usually put things right in the end, however I really can’t be bothered with the ticket exchange scheme and usually give my spare ticket away to a mate or a family member.
I think the season card renewal deadline will be extended, as it was last year, but if they can get money in early and it helps with RWs transfer targets then great.
