Yes, on my laptop I was 91st in the first season ticket holders’ queue, and something like 4,000th in the queue on my PC. It look about a minute or so to get in.fenaddick said:
It will be inflated by people having more than 1 browser open. I was about number 300 the other day, think any lower than that and you’re getting in pretty much straight awayoohaahmortimer said:When you join the queue and it says you are number 4,178 does anyone believe there are 4,178 in the queue , the numbers seem too massive

Gillingham are a massive club to be fair.CAFCTrev said:
Its not, Man City v Gillingham in 1999 was slightly higher at 76,935SouthWest_Addicks said:Looks like the attendance will be around the 70k mark, as per the last couple of season.

Good potential to be fair! But I won’t start that one again.JamesSeed said:

If you're buying today, good luck! I don't think the site states it, but they do not accept AMEX. Also do not refresh or press back on the payment screen, wait for the try again button and the tickets will still be in your basket.4

Why would anyone put off buying a ticket ? How does that thought process work? I fancy going to this match but will wait til Friday to purchase my tickets ? I have often wondered why joint Valley Gold / ST got so long to decide if they want to go to a game which is on restricted sale. Sure, prioritise them but don't give them 4 or 5 days and make the process for non joint VG/ST ie all the other genuine fans who want to go panic about buying....paulbaconsarnie said:Seeing as Orients general sale window ends at 5pm on Friday, I reckon we will be given a further block by block allocation after then.Anything before that time then whoever makes that decision is opening themselves up for criticism for ‘moving the goalposts’.
Could you imagine if roles were reversed and some of our fans planned to buy on Friday only for the allocation to be reduced and they missed out.
It does not make sense, if sales are slowing then the sooner we get the allocation the less stressful for everyone, particularly as the guy who alluded to the admin required...

The biggest thing that does not make sense is fans that qualified for certain sales windows could buy for themselves plus 3 other ‘randoms’ that fancy a day out.Spanish said:

Now selling 516AFKABartram said:Orient sales are slowly continuing, they should have block 516 opened up in next couple of hours1 -
Our average gate last season was 15k. That means the Wembley allocation that’s been sold out basically consists of 22k ‘randoms’, some of whom will have got along to a lot of home and/or away games, but not that many.paulbaconsarnie said:

That's another 9,000 seats - even half of that would be great.3 -
That's more than decent. It's better than non-old firm clubs taken to Scottish Cup Semi-finals.shirty5 said:27,500 tickets sold by Leyton Orient0 -

I have a purchase history from being a (lapsed) season ticket holder and was lucky enough to get a ticket when that window opened.
Some people I know with similar circumstances weren’t as lucky.
I just think being able to get 3 additional tickets for people without history is not fair when others with more Charlton connection miss out.4 -
Official tickets with barcodes have been emailed.
Put your favourite record on and have a wiggle0 -
Well if I'm the only one asking, I probably won't get one. That's how things work. Or don't work._MrDick said:Good luck with getting a response to that question0 -
My frustration is that I have probably been to enough games over the past 2 seasons to have the loyalty points to have bought in the earlier batch, but given the ease of getting tickets previoulsy I have often bought on the gate when making a last minute decision on an evening game, or had tickets bought by who I occasionally go with and not linked the accounts. Therefore I have a lot of "missing" loyalty points because I bought without my fan ID.paulbaconsarnie said:

If I miss out today and more tickets dont become available I will be very frustrated and may change my view, but I also feel that fans with the huge loyalty point totals and fans with season tickets who go to every home game have earned the right to bring friends/family along for the big day out. I could potentially argue that it should be 2 tickets per fan ID / season ticket etc. (as this would have allowed me to get tickets by now!) but I can see the rationale to get the tickets sold as soon as possible, hopefully filling the stadium4 -
Not really; 15000 is an average. Take off the season ticket holders and the rest could be different people each match. So in theory all 22000 could have attended a game (maths not audited!)letthegoodtimesroll said:

And there's always the possibility that if you have a group of ST holders then one or more those may have been unavailable for particular matches and so someone else used the tickets (that was certainly the case with me for midweek matches this season where my granddaughter would come instead of my grandson).kentred2 said:

It's a unpopular opinion, but personally I think ST/VG holders should be able to buy 4 tickets as long as everyone has a cafc ID. Nobody should be entitled to bring randoms, just because they've spent money at the club.Chrispy51 said:

Maybe Orient should have contacted their local council to sell tickets. Just received this from Merton council, the borough for Wimbledon.

They might have missed out so far, but it’s not over yet and there still seem to be a lot of available seats in the stadium, so let’s judge it at the end.paulbaconsarnie said:

As disappointed as I am, I am delighted for everyone who managed to secure a seat.Without getting too complacent, it should be a hell of a day!COYA!!6 -

It’s the lack of comms from Charlton which is frustrating on the likelihood and volume of extra tickets they have requested.A sense of scale would help a bit.6

To be fair they can't promise anymore allocation than what they've already announced at the moment.

It would make people even angrier if the club said, "we might get an extra 7,000 tickets" and then Wembley didn’t actually give us any more tickets to sell. Comms from the club haven't been perfect but they can't really win.valleynick66 said:It’s the lack of comms from Charlton which is frustrating on the likelihood and volume of extra tickets they have requested.A sense of scale would help a bit.
