Ritchierich Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Anyone going? it does seem strange that once again there is nothing regarding tickets or travel on this….fair enough, the focus was on season tickets and sales for the Dorking game but hopefully the ticketing and commercial team will start to get things moving properly on regular games and especially away matches to keep up the buzz and momentum we now have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 We are going but I thought exactly the same. Not seen any ticket information... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I'll be going. There's nothing on their site so I think the lateness is down to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboy Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I've been a few times there so will probably go again. Nice chippy nearby and pint in the Blue Boar close by.Had separated rooms for home and away fans on last visit.Another one of many long away trips but better than a Tuesday trip to Woking I suppose!!

Ritchierich Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 I do think this is a massive area for us to improve on…get Billy back from his exile at ManU and get the ticketing and fan engagement side moving again…and/or get the OASF and other Fan groups involved in this It beggars belief that less than 5 days before a long trip to the South we have no way to buy a ticket, no away travel offered (there is a rail strike!) …it’s as if there is no game happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticket office staff have done a decent job over last couple of weeks after being inundated with season ticket sales Away travel offered today (on OAFC website), no issue re: match tickets as POTD (although £2 dearer than advance) With club being left pretty much a shell of a professional club prior to takeover, virtually everything needs improving.

Mind you, it is a bit irritating that us Southern exiles are forced to pay £20 (and cash only) as there is no way to buy in advance whereas Southend fans and Oldham based Latics fans will only pay £18….that’s a bit tinpot for 2022 and as much Southend fault as ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really get why advance tickets are less expensive than POTD but I suppose there are more important things to worry about in life. Not having a go mate, just giving you update on Southend details and trying to credit ticket office staff who have done pretty well I reckon in an unprecedented rush for season tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just buy in advance online and then you have a choice of an e-ticket or to print out ? Its really not hard at all for anyone to buy tickets in advance.

No e tickets available for this and once postage is added the price is the same as pay on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is most likely due to Southend though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchierich Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 ….pleased I wasn’t allowed to buy tickets in advance after all, at least I don’t have to bother going now…really not sure I can justify a £100 day out to support these clowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
