    Are we allowed to reciprocate pricing or is there a limit linked to home fan prices?
    I think you have to charge the away fans the same price you are charging home fans in the equivalent stand. So our away prices are the same as Coverend end lower 
    Which is a drawback of making that the cheapest part of the ground. It means we can't rip off away fans  :D
  • Time to bring back the old Charlton Life Independent Travel back! 
  • What phase is it likely to reach before it sells out?
  • I wouldn't rule out going to General Sale, we've got 2,503 tickets.
  • Blimey how skint are some people 🤷‍♂️

    So the owners spend in excess of £10M on players.
    Some of our fans react by complaining that the coach is £5/£10 over priced.
    A factual observation, not necessarily a criticism.

    It will, we'll not sell out.
  • I believe the away end holds just under 4000. If the initial allocation sells out will we get more. 

    I assume though that City's wind up merchants would already have purchased theirs by that time in that stand though.

    That coach price is a joke
    certainly is. someone is making a mint there.
    Correct me if I’m wrong but is the coach company based around the Margate area? Added costs on to the customer in petrol or diesel plus wages for said drivers travelling up to the pick up stops 

    Also the coach to Bristol Rovers last October was £23, so about a 50 per cent increase based on the area travelling to 
    Good spot re price for Rovers last season.
    Some one is making a good profit.

    Never like that when CASC ran the coaches and Trains.


    So which coach company would you recommend then clever clogs?

    £35 to get to Bristol picked up from your local town don’t seem to unreasonable to me 
    The reality is you can run it for half that and if the club overcharges to that extent someone probably will in the end. 

    Watford charged £20 to Bristol City in April and are charging £12 to The Valley.
    I've never been on the away coaches so don't know what they are like, but assume they have toilet facilities on board and are of a comfortable nature. Most services can be run cheaper but in the end the product is dire, we know this only too well.

    If you're on the roof, you don't need a toilet


  • I’m sure Orient away in league one was £34 last season 
    It was .. A vile amount to charge but they were cashing in on our massive support
  • £78 per adult, before food and drink and dragging along any junior family members. Going to be some pretty sparse away ends for us. 
    If you are talking about coach £35 & ticket £33 that's £68.
    I think I have a blind spot for 33 +35. Like when I worked in the bookies I went through a phase of paying out punters a 20 instead of a 10 when counting out winnings. Didnt last long in that job.

    I think the fear (for me at least) is a shift in attitude to fans taking root, where market forces are let loose, and no subsidy to get to away games, against a background of excessive match ticket costs. Many of us got the bug and a lifetime commitment from away games and if that route is diminished it's another detriment to building the support base.

    This question will have been asked alot but how many supporters are there in each pts band - how many are in Cat 1 600 club  & the other pts bands & Valley Gold, I have 520pts and this year is my first as a Valley Gold member....does that mean phase 5 as a Valley Gold member qualifies me or do i have to wait to Phase 7 with 520 pts? I've only managed 3-4 aways per season in 55+yrs and this season is first one i have time to add to my rather shallow list of 38 grounds visited....

    Phase 5: 550 loyalty points and Valley Gold - Wednesday, July 30th @ 2pm

    Phase 6: 550 loyalty points - Wednesday, July 30th @ 4pm

    Phase 7: 520 loyalty points or Valley Gold - Thursday, July 31st @ 11am

    There won't be many in Cat 1
  • I would have thought they could put this more or less straight away on general sale 
  • I'm guessing part of having so many phases is because of the new ticketing system, more points = better seats to choose from. Of course that falls down when you arrive and no one is in their assigned seat
  • I would have thought they could put this more or less straight away on general sale 
    I think it will sell out quite easily, so I don’t agree with that.
  • They have an impressive ST count so their demand may mean that’s all we’re getting

    Having looked at the map, we have the 3 middle blocks with the blocks either side empty so there isn't any reason we couldn't have more unless of course they want the end blocks blocked off as doesn't make sense to have home fans on both sides of the same stand. 

  • Yes, their stadium map indicates Away Fans exclusivity so on second thoughts looks good for more . I agree with Airman that we will sell out what I hope is an initial allocation

    A few hundred at least. 

    Phase 1 for Wembley was 750+ loyalty points and that was 134 fans. 

    Bristol Away phase 1 is 600 points.

    Sell enough season tickets and you can charge as much as you want for away fans and casual home fans
