Views from the Sieve

In the same way people pay £21 for the National Conference.

Thankfully the club see more sense than Auntie Merge on this. £10 for adults in the Sieve and £5 for kids. Well done them. TBS is also being completely given to Orient which doesn’t surprise me.

Fair enough. I just rarely see the point of discounting something that is likely to sell well.

I'm pleased that discounts are for everyone not just west spammer season ticket holders

I do not believe any club should "cash in" in such instances! This is, after all a 4th qualifying tie. If we were playing a club lower down the pyramid, I doubt the price of tickets would be above £10.00. We have arguably the best draw we could have hoped for, why sting the fans because of that?

i don't see charging your normal home gate rates as cashing in!

Here is the O`s ticket sale notice :-
Tickets for this fixture go on sale to Season Ticket Holders only at a rate of one ticket per person on Friday, October 6 at 9.30am. This policy will be strictly enforced as the number of season ticket holders exceeds the number of match tickets available.So I bet we get some coming into the terrace.

Guess if we were to draw Southend or Colchester in the Essex Senior Cup, you would be more than willing to pay the "normal" gate rate then? :D

I take it we pay on the door .

Yes pay on the door although it would alleviate any potential queues if people bought in advance. Mind you at £10 and £5 terrace it’ll be just as quick as having a ticket.

Seated season ticket holders need to buy in advance to get their normal seats. I have to bring my own!

Whilst it's great for us fans to pay less, surely we'd make far more revenue at normal match day prices. It's just as high stature as a league game against a good side who will sell out their allocation regardless. I can't imagine the cheaper prices will attract more than 300 extra in the home end, but I guess the hope is that they come back for a league game.

The ESC comparison I'm sure is tongue in cheek.

It's pretty simple maths.
If you half the price then you need to sell twice the quantity to just get the same level of revenue.

The constant calls for dropping prices seem to miss this point every time.
If we made some league games free we still wouldn't fill the ground for them.

It amazes me the club drop the cost of the ticket to get people to go now some are saying the cost of the ticket should be the same as league games.The club can`t win.I rather have say 2,800 home and away supporters then 1,900 supporters.

Nice Price but I think we may end up paying twice for this one, can somebody advise me when the replay I expect is due. Replays for last weekends draws took place on Tuesday I wonder if we will be allowed to have any replay as quick ?

Going back to the tie and our chances , our best team is certainly better then theirs in the two games I have seen them in on tv , will we play our best team mind ?
