Has anybody else had problems buying these online ??
The “choose seats” tab for the other games is in RED and takes you to the seat plan etc
The same tab for the Maldon game is in WHITE and clicking on it takes you nowhere and does nothing ??
I ended up calling the club this morning and bought them over the phone. I reported the problem to the lady I spoke to at the ticket office but it’s still,the same looking at the website now.

No such problems here mate and I always struggle with that poxy website.

It was showing me that before I logged in. So seems as if you are logged in, it’s treating that account as a non-season ticket holder.

just log in no probs then.

I have logged in but it’s still the same.......seems weird, I know, I just wondered if it was just me ??
My son also tried this morning and he had the same problem.

Works for me. Are you definitely using a login that's linked to your season ticket account?

Ok thanks for that, please let me check.
I’m hoping that there will be enough support from home fans so that the club open more than just the West Stand.

It will only let you buy if your a season ticket holder , on general sale tomorrow

Makes me laugh the club limiting tickets at this stage to 1 per season ticket holder

Tickets for this fixture go on sale to Season Ticket Holders only at a rate of one ticket per person on 28 October 2019 at 12.00 noon.

They could offer unlimited tickets per season ticket holder and won't come close to filling 2 stands for the game, let alone 4

Yes agreed. Maybe the club only want to open one stand ?? Let’s hope enough tickets get sold and they are encouraged to open another stand .

I would sincerely hope the club would open another stand if the West is getting close to capacity.


BTW Where is the Maldon & Tiptree travelling army going to be located? Are they in West Stand as well, or is North Stand to be opened for them?

Last season at different times, both options were utilised

It should be played on the Saturday. Any idea why it's on Sunday?

Why? The ties are required to be played over the weekend of Friday 8- Monday 11 November. There is no requirement in the rules to play the game on a Saturday

Any idea why it's on Sunday?

Because its been moved for TV purposes

Okay it's personal opinion. I prefer games to be played on a Saturday. I don't like Sunday football.

What TV channel is it on?

Yes, me too, but Football sold its soul to the TV companies years ago and if Sky or BBC told Orient to play on a Monday morning, thy probably would providing the fee was right.
I think this match is on BBC along with some other First Round ties and we can expect matches to be spread all over the weekend at various times and fans have to fit their plans around the TV schedule.

I still can't buy online , BBC are showing several games live on Sunday but I believe it's for overseas viewers only

Hi Ron
You should be able to buy online from today as I think it’s now open for General Sale.
As for the BBC coverage, I can’t believe that overseas viewers will tune in in big numbers to watch Leyton Orient v Maldon and Tiptree.
I looked at the BBC website and the only ‘live ‘ game I can see is Dulwich Hamlet v Carlisle.
Plus Highlights of all the other games.
