Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Thanks Zep.

Can't complain about that.
Six for season ticket holders is generous and One Orient members getting 3, after the season ticket holders but before general sale. Ultimately sensible stuff imo.

Allocation of 37,000. Enough?

It’s no wonder that the boomers are the wealthiest people in our society when they get half price tickets for stuff and 17 year olds don’t..

Plenty. Hard for us to sell that many in 9 days. I think our excess might get swallowed up by a new faction from South London......

So which block is going to be the MB section?

The Mods are sorting out a corporate package as we speak

Looking at the plan, it loos like the most expensive tickets are best for the view of the game, but not necessarily the best for atmosphere.
Would other boarders agree?

Personally think the ones in Band 4 lower tier are the best.

Yep.

102 on the half way line behind our dugout best view.

110-113 standing/singing/drumming section best atmosphere.

Tough call....

Would've thought so even with a 20% increase in numbers on 2014 they'll be enough. Think it'll be close to a sell out though with two london clubs involved.

The highest attendance for an EFL League One play-off final is 76,155 spectators, achieved on 26 May 2019 at Wembley Stadium. In that match, Charlton Athletic defeated Sunderland 2–1 after extra time, securing promotion to the EFL Championship .

This record-breaking crowd surpassed the previous high of 75,132 set in the 2008 final between Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United .

In comparison, more recent finals have drawn slightly smaller crowds. For instance, the 2022 final between Wycombe Wanderers and Sunderland attracted 72,332 spectators , while the 2023 final between Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday had an attendance of 72,492 .

Therefore, the 2019 final remains the highest-attended League One play-off final to date.

I'm a boomer and that is something that has obviously passed me by, but intend being there with my Spud supporting mate.

Onwards and upwards.

Happy with it really. Obviously pricey but below what I feared it might be and surely allocation is enough that anyone who fancies it gets in?

Sounds like the regulars will get to bunch together and then more casual floating support will have an opportunity to come along. It's a chance to build on the growth in support and convert a few more O's curious people into full time fans.

Best seats cost the most money? Bit of a hot take

Not if the regulars bring along 5 mates, we won't.

Is it only me that can't see Cat 1 sections?

No I can't see any either, cancelled an appointment to buy a cat 1 ticket, not happy.

Site telling me the event is not available to me

Guilty as charged. Have 4 coming with me who weren't at Bradford away.

In the blurb, it mentions Wembley release blocks in stages. I guess we have to fill out Cat 2 before they release those
