Apparently Season Tickets can be collected as from Monday 8th July, as sales near 4,000.
Fantastic achievement by us the fans in putting our faith in our club, yet again
There is time for us to reach 4,500..........

All free seats now available. Nothing in central west stand, and not many in the North stand either. Should be full of kids this season...

Never believed we would do 4500 but looking a possibility. Decent fan base for sure.

Not sure, we’ll make the 4,500 before the first game, but if we have a good start it’s possible by maybe the end of August.
I think we only have a couple of midweek games so those with kids should be encouraged to buy as they won’t miss too many games.

Selling our best players will not help season ticket sales.

A couple of early wins will help.
Luckily for the club , Bonne’s and Koroma’s departures came after many fans had re-newed at the Earlybird Rate.
Personally I think the biggest ‘miss’ will be Justin. Ross Embleton has a huge job in his hands trying to step into his shoes.

There are 185 free seats in the North.
There were previously 130, I had checked. The result of increasing tickets from £9 to £59 has resulted in an additional 50 seats being freed up.
I’m sure the objective was to stop wastage, not simply to screw a few more quid out of us, but it clearly hasn’t worked. People have continued to renew so as to stay in the north.

But new faces will. Always good to see new players coming in. The hope being they will turn out better than those who have gone. I’m quite looking forward to seeing Wilkinson and Angol. Novelty factor.

Almost certainly. Cheapest place to sit.
Unless adults pay similar there to the other stands, it will stay like that.

I watch Orient regardless of who is playing for them. In last four seasons, must have seen close to a hundred different players turn out for the Os. Well, it feels like that anyway.

I agree with what you say. However, we were in an upward position of strength with a real and true feelgood factor and that has been ripped away from us in such terrible and tragic circumstances.

I see Marshall Taylor has tweeted that sales are up compared to this time last year, now that's either a marketing ploy or he's totally forgot that the difference is likely to be due to people taking up the early bird offer.

It don’t matter facts are facts, but yes they are distorted by the early bird offer.

Disagree - the sales back in April/May/June may have been skewed by that but at the point that your seat is no longer held, there is no distortion.

I am impressed that the sales are up year on year. Must be the end of season effect with the Braintree sell out and the Wembley trip making a few think it may be worth getting a season ticket.

I know a few people who are ‘sharing ‘ a Season ticket as they know that they can’t attend every game so they cut the costs in half and agree who goes to which game.

I could do with that sort of arrangement. My dad shared mine last season. But don't remember him paying half the price...
I miss 4 of first 6 home games and then another couple later on.

I agree with this view. Distortion due to the early bird sales now no longer valid.

I`ve had a Gallery or Legends Lounge Season Ticket for a couple of seasons now..............We think its worth the extra for the Bar and Lounge area you get and to watch the antics of the two benches close up as they berate the poor 4th official for a decision made by the Ref 100 yards away !!!!!
Our area looks to be pretty much Full up now with just a couple of spare seats.
My mate went down today and said there was quite a few going into reception with their ST forms.

Signed up for four today. Didn't renew last season because of the muck served up the season before. Ended up going to more games on random tickets than I normally do. I am looking forward to this season. Eleventh will do me.

A number of Legends' Lounge tickets are held back for the hospitality packages (i.e. for those that buy the meal and ticket combined). The seats to our right (we're behind the home bench) are usually among those.

Simple maths, sales from April have carried forward to now. If it was July in isolation then you'd have a case.
