Can those buying season tickets now still get 4 tickets or has that passed? If they can, there won't be any left by Tuesday when I log in.
ST holders will be able to get four tickets until the tickets sell out completely. They don’t close previous windows when new ones open.
I’m sure there will be tickets available on Tuesday at 2pm. Depending on how many you need it may be in the upper tier, but the view from everywhere in Wembley is very good.
Seems to have been a bit of a car crash…went online yesterday at 5pm, two season tickets, 620 loyalty points, were those in the top tier which I wasn’t expecting the number sold by 5pm, which was my fault.The club art not going to make everyone happy and was always going to be open to criticism regardless. It is a given that there will be day trippers of those who have got tickets, ie neighbours, work colleagues, friends and family whom don’t support the club. Dare I say it that fans may not be totally computer literate, or have access to the internet yesterday, find themselves with a task of taking seats in the top tier or sadly miss out. The Orient ticket office was open, to sell their allocation, but we elected to sell online only. It maybe would have been ideally to have two per season ticket holder, scrap all the Valley Good allocation, do a sliding scale on number of loyalty points, and then general sale, which by that time the majority of fans would have got their tickets. As I said earlier the club are always going to be dammed, and have underestimated the demand meaning there are genuine fans or those that have been previously will either miss out or have no choice where to sit. The remaining seats will be sold today. Orient sales are not going well, this is probably the floating fans in that area who either support Tottenham, West Ham or Arsenal are either at home next weekend or have played in European cup final, meaning there is a chance of getting more tickets. One more clean sheet and sniffer dog goal on Sunday please. Up the Charlton.
Why is your idea to scrap Valley Gold priority entirely?
They haven't even had the chance to get tickets yet, as VG opportunity to buy is today at 2pm.
Those that have Valley Gold, would have a season ticket. I cannot imagine anyone just having Valley Gold. Personally I would rather see genuine fans getting tickets with the points system. Only my opinion/
Nonsense, there will be tons of supporters who have Valley Gold but don’t have a ST. Many see it as a way of continuing to support the club when they can’t attend regularly.
This is actually the one match since the inception of Valley Gold where removing priority for Valley Gold makes the least sense. We’re going to have more tickets than we need, so what’s the harm in letting Valley Gold members have a priority window after season ticket holders have had their window?
I actually think the club have come up with a sales plan that is pretty fair for this one. The four tickets per season ticket holder thing feels a bit much, but the truth is without day trippers we wouldn’t sell our allocation.
It nots nonsense, it’s an opinion. Not into all this dick waving about supporting the youth system. I have VG, and my old man has had it since the launch at trining ground in 1989. It was launched then to support the club get out of the shit. The only major benefits was winning £25 voucher to buy in Allders , Eltham, and a draw to win £100 or £50….so do not start chucking the VG card around. It was,rolled out to support the club and club only, so before you start jumping on your high horse, Valley Gold has been in and remains to do so in our family,since 1989.
Can we park the VG discussion? It happens for every high demand match and it just gets in the way of people trying to find out information about the tickets actually on sale. If you want a discussion on VG just start your own thread
Bear in mind those asking for map screenshots. It shows how many are in that block not necessarily if they’re together or not.
This, its a completely useless function unless you want to know if a block has 4 individual tickets randomly dispersed!
It’s not perfect but it isn’t completely useless as it at least shows you which blocks don’t have 4 at all so you don’t waste your time searching in them.
Is it possible to work out how many we’ve sold so far from the season ticket holders phase? Looks like good numbers sold.
Difficult to do that I think as others have suggested not all greyed out blocks have actually been sold, rather they have not been released as yet. If you pushed me to guess I would estimate c20k have been sold already.
For those that are worried about tickets, read the excellent posts from @Er_Be_Ab_Pl_Wo_Wo_Ch which detail what blocks went on sale originally. Looks like a decent chunk in 2nd tier held back for corporate that will likely partially become available.
Orient website states they have sold 10k as of 9 am Sunday
Reading their forums a few of their fans are holding back on purchasing until cat 1 or side blocks become available. Not sure how that’s going to work as I doubt they will open new blocks until current blocks sell out so a ‘Mexican standoff’ (their words).
I don't think any of our fans won't get tickets, I imagine up to 25K may be sold to Season tickets? as not all our 8,000 ST holders will buy 4 tickets, I have two season tickets and bought 4 tickets rather than 8 tickets. Orient won't sell 36K, so their blocks will become available, we could potentially be looking at selling 45K in the end. The Club is damned if they do, damned if they don't with season ticket holders and Wembley tickets, personally I think 4 season tickets is fair acknowledgement of fans committment. I've had several seasons when i only managed 7-8 matches but wanted to support the club in my regular seat i've had since East Stand opened and gave it to friends to use.

What are talking about? You were the one that brought Valley Gold into?!
I sat with the gods at the last play offs and it was still a great view. Would be happy enough for that again this year and will be ready on Tuesday to secure my two tickets.

Ok, getting nervous now it’s not gonna reach Wednesday general sale.
If anyone has spare capacity for 1a/1c would be appreciated.
Are you not on the database already? If so you can get tickets Tuesday. Wouldn't want you missing out from a misread!
It did not recognise me/my email address when I was trying to reset password,despite using the email address I have used since year dot. I had to register as a new user the next day and that was the day after the cut off for Tuesdays batch.

Sorry to hear that, maybe worth an email to the club just in case?
Only fans who attended Crawley at home should have been allowed to get tickets full stop , admittedly we would only have about 7k there but we’d all have cracking seats 💺

Might be worth emailing the club and asking them to reset your original account? It’s tickets@cafc.co.uk

i had the same yesterday so couldn't log in - despite being fine when i bought tickets for wycombe using the same details as a season ticket holder - anyway, have got my tickets now via others so all good - its easy for me to say but people worrying about not getting a ticket are worrying unnecessarily - there will be loads available i'm sure - as others have said, we're playing orient and with all due respect to them, we are bound to get a good chunk of their allocation as well if needed

Based on the comments above, can we assume there’s no 4x tickets left in lower tiers together?

How can you tell on your account if your valley gold is connected to it?
