No one is expecting it to stay the same. Doube the rate of inflation is too much though.
What have they done in 6 years to improve the stadium experience for fans?
To my mind there are two elements to the ticket price hike. Inflation is one and the the other is playing in a higher league where cash will be expensed on players who can compete and get soccer goals into the net at the higher level.
They haven’t invested in more areas to buy food/drink, the PA system is dreadul, there’s not enough toilet facilities etc.
If they’re ‘roughly in line’ why is my ticket more than double the rate of inflatipn this year?spen666 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 5:28 pmBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 3:50 pmNot obtuse at all.

The price rises over the 6 years are roughly in line with the last 6 year's inflation
The matchday experience does not match the hike? No, the club are still struggling in the lower reaches of the National League and are not on the verge of L1 with potential visits from clubs like Derby, Sheff Wed, Ipswich. Portsmouth and Charlton next season instead of trips to Guisely, Solihull moors, Gateshead and Eastleigh or Boreham Wood.
The problem for Orient next season is where we accommodate all these big teams fans……….I think our away section only holds 1250 and I wonder if the club will re-allocate some of our East Stand season card holders if say for example Ipswich or Derby sell 3,000 tickets.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 6:35 pmIf they’re ‘roughly in line’ why is my ticket more than double the rate of inflatipn this year?spen666 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 5:28 pmBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 3:50 pm

Those big teams will bring big allocations to Orient, more money in Orient’s pocketa
I remember Leeds having the whole east stand one year, Like QPR in the cup.Cheshunto wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 6:53 pmThe problem for Orient next season is where we accommodate all these big teams fans……….I think our away section only holds 1250 and I wonder if the club will re-allocate some of our East Stand season card holders if say for example Ipswich or Derby sell 3,000 tickets.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 6:35 pmIf they’re ‘roughly in line’ why is my ticket more than double the rate of inflatipn this year?spen666 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 5:28 pm

I think this used to happen when we last played at this level…….I remember giving the whole East stand to Norwich in that famous win.
Perhaps because over the previous seasons it did not rise in line with inflation, so taken over the whole period it is in line with inflation after allowing for increased levels of football offered next seasoncompared to 6 years agoBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 6:35 pmIf they’re ‘roughly in line’ why is my ticket more than double the rate of inflatipn this year?spen666 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 5:28 pmBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 3:50 pm

Right. So in a cost of living crisis, these many multi millionares decide to stripe Orient fans up double inflation. Ling has already said league 1 and 2 quality is minimal.spen666 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 8:38 pmPerhaps because over the previous seasons it did not rise in line with inflation, so taken over the whole period it is in line with inflation after allowing for increased levels of football offered next seasoncompared to 6 years agoBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 6:35 pmIf they’re ‘roughly in line’ why is my ticket more than double the rate of inflatipn this year?spen666 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 5:28 pm
