orient away?

[Ninja Elephant]

It wouldn't be the first time we had Brighton fans in the Orient ends, so long as noone misbehaves, where's the problem? I was in block H for the JPT game, and we had an Orient fan in there, the penalties were a laugh. But there wasn't even a hint there could be trouble because we're all football fans, and we beat them anyway!

The official website says Gold members had priority until the 20th , Blue members / Gullys&Stripes until the 27th. White members have last pickings if any remain after that.
I dont think there will be any left for white members who didn't get a look in for Luton tickets either. The club needs to get more tickets sent from Orient to accommodate demand.

We got tickets for Luton as white members without any problem.

if white members are complaining then they should cough up the £30 to be a blue member. the membership scheme is there for a reason to priortise tickets for high interest games and away games where limited tickets are available

I won't pay £30 to become a blue member on a point of principle. I entirely agree that STH's should get priority though and beyond that a data based points system can't be that hard to work out, surely ?

I won't complain if our white membership ( free btw) application is unsuccessful, I just won't go to that particular game, which is a shame, but not the end of the world.

I am a gold Member I demand a ticket

(ill ring them tomorrow)

same. but dont ring as its pointless.

Looking at the orient website, they have only been gettin high 3000/ low 4000 crowds. If you add on a few because we should bring the attendance still wont be above 6/7 thousand surely. In a ground that holds over 9000 fans, surely we will be given more tickets if sold out.

 

[murraymints4brighton]

look dont panic. i phoned today and there are plenty of tickets left and if fans are 110% going no matter what then the home ends wont be sold out. get yourself down to the tickets office in the next 7 days and guaranteed you,ll get a ticket.

 

[Kenhead]

why all the worry about selling out? We did 1100 at Milwall, why on earth are we likely to get more to Orient? And if we do, will we really do 300 more? Doubt it, but to be certain, make sure you get your application in. In fact, if you haven't yet, and for some reason it does sell out, well then that is hard luck, that is why they announce it in advance, make it crystal clear how to go about applying, and even create tiers to provide some priority to those who are gold and blue members.

Orient is a massive relegation 6 pointer tho.

Orient is a massive relegation 6 pointer tho.

Plus one of the best away days of the season

Loads of people 'come out of the woodwork' for this fixture, I love it, just a shame Leyton is such a hole, but plenty of decent drinking destinations on the way (Bethnal Green is a particular favourite, pub closest to the tube always full of BHA before an Orient away game)

Plus the fact of a new manager, couple of (hopefully) wins on the bounce, should mean this is an un-missable away game........watched either in the away or home end :albion1:

I heard that a lot of white members didn't get tickets because the allocation was cut to 1400 from 1800 to allow the Sky "studio box" to be positioned in the away end. The Luton official website confused the issue even more by saying Brighton had sold their allocation of 1525 tickets.

 

[HG201]

I think they give Leeds fans the whole side which we gt half of, surely they can just do this for us if we sell out and want more tickets

That would be embarrasing for them, they brought 300 to us in the league and we take 2000 or whatever that stand holds

 

[Ninja Elephant]

The difference being we will actually be able to see the game!

Also, I had a Leyton Orient fan sat a little way off to my left in the South Stand, and I happen to know thre were 4 of them in the north stand in a group. The official figures weren't accurate, alot of away fans get themselves into the home end, especially the london clubs because they can just pop down for the day, get a ticket and then go home again. That is what I would do to be honest, saves sitting a mile from the pitch.

I should also add that I don't mind anyone doing that, providing they behave themselves.

ive got a member , it isn't coloured, i will see if i can get it up for orient

surely not the salmon and ball!
