Steep prices 

For this level of football and at that place it is scandalous.

Only 1,208 tickets! Already bought my train tickets, will this be a mad scramble like fleetwood?

Think they'll go quickly but maybe not quite a scramble. Train costs and time it takes plus we've had a few expensive days recently make it slightly less attractive to some. That said, a new ground for plenty of people.

In other words, i've no idea.

And Spurs away after we beat Luton the following Saturday too. 

Be gone in 2 minutes I expect. 
 

Our lack of any type of scheme to allocate tickets is pathetic.

Of course he did he just loves being a complete cock. 
 

I’ve given up on trying to explain why a scheme would work. Especially when it’s a rolling 2 year scheme etc. it really wouldn’t be hard to set up but nobody is arsed. Far easier to just sell out then let folk try and sort it out the mess afterwards

I’m rarely critical of the club, but it’s the one gripe I have is this.

Anyway fastest finger tomorrow. Having bought train tickets I’d better not miss out here!

All football is expensive these days.

It's not a big ground, so they can't generate a lot of revenue from numbers, and it's a London club.

The London weighting effect will apply to their employees like anyone else.

I'm not surprised at that ticket price. 

[MickyD]

I haven’t needed to queue either in person or online for quite a while for tickets. My lad sorts them and the Luton game is the first time he’s ever not got what he wanted. It’s usually 9 tickets but either Fleetwood or Lincoln suddenly was allowed 10. 
Do BWFC still contract out ticket sales to TicketMaster? I say still, I don’t actually know if TM was ever the preferred ticketing platform. Maybe they ought to bring it back in-house.

What did we charge them? Certainly not £27, I know that much.

That was that family day wasn’t it so £10/£5? One extreme to the other! 

[radcliffe white]

Orient know their place will be popular this season with visiting fans it’s pay day time

To be honest, unless they were like for like in terms of size of support, it’d be like Bolton saying, “We’ll let your 2-300 travelling supporters get in for a tenner. Will you offer the same deal to our 1500-2000 away supporters?

Defo makes more sense to wait for Carlisle. Robbing cockney bastards

Let's get on Facebook and organise a boycott. Till we have our tickets at least.

[Traf]

I've pretty much given up on getting a ticket for Orient. 
I've got a meeting at 10 that I can't get out of.
Added to missing out on Fleetwood & Luton, I'm pissed off.

Ticketmaster the ticket agent and Ticketmaster the system designers are two different entities (of the same overall company, obviously). All of the settings within the system can be customised though. I had it as 10 per transaction btw based on the final last year.
