£27 at best if I can make sense of their ticket prices. Might have been mentioned before but read earlier that Orient have got an AA tier for 3 games this season, which is £35 a ticket! Ah OK. Do they have to charge away fans the same as the cheapest tickets? I see Wrexham fans have been hit with that £35 price for Orient. £30 at Bolton too. The Premier League has a £30 cap on away tickets. Nuts to see Leyton Orient exceeding that. Home fans being charged the same, 8,700 restricted capacity leads to that for 3 games in a season

Shocking price for L1 football in my opinion. £30 feels like a massive price point to break through.

Clubs have to compete, until we find a new site for a stadium O's fans will have to pay up for 2 or 3 games a season, as will anyone else who wants to watch. We could charge £20 in London & get relegated though with a squad of 18 players

Rather than talking about match tickets in isolation, perhaps these ticket prices need putting in some sort of context with comparable events, or things like eating out, visits to the zoo, the cinema, a night out, and similar.
I’ve just paid £45 for a ticket to a short opera at the Buxton Festival on Saturday - Haydn:La canterina, which will last about an hour; I thought it was expensive (no concessions).

That sounds like a rip off, I don't know anything about opera but is it a big production with big opera names in it? Gigs in general have been going that way too, i used to go to loads and these days I pick and choose because of pricing, one recently had an extra 30% on the ticket price in fees, at least we don't get that with football...yet.

I paid 25 quid to see Johnny Marr play for about two hours last autumn. I could also have paid about 80 quid to see him in a much bigger venue the previous year (but didn't, because it was 80 quid). It's going to be difficult to make some comparisons, I think.
Anything over £mid-20s for third tier football is expensive IMO.

Yup, Cant expand & target some of the 276,000 residents of Waltham Forest in a stadium that holds under 10k. 24,000 tickets went for our fa trophy final, we have people who will come if & when we build

I know a lot of people working at the Buxton Opera Festival this year and was nearly working on the derig tonight but had prior arrangements I couldn’t get out of (which is a shame as it was decent money). I’m not really helping my cause on the whole posh thing am I…?

It was but it was a one off. Like watching your favourite musician you,ll pay more than for a football game but doubt you,ll see em 23 times a season. Traditionally football was a cheap form of entertainment compared to the rest but not now especially as you have no idea on what you,ll be getting for the money you forked out for the game.

He was on after the Inspiral Carpets and before the headliners James. I'd never seen him before and have to say he was brilliant.

No room for expansion unless a compete rebuild estimated £150 million, New stadium estimated £80-100 million. Even rebuilding the east stand where away support is would cost£25 million & only up capacity by max 1500. Definitely need a new stadium
