Wanted to buy a ticket for the Palace match tonight but ive just realised that I dont have my season ticket with me. Do you reckon they would just accept my valley gold ticket?

If you can ID and proof of address I would hope they could check to see if you are a ST holder
I'm not VG so nearly even bought a Swindon ticket (despite not being able to go to the match) just to hand back to them and get priority on Palace tickets as I was convinced they'd sell out straight away.
Glad I didn't bother now. Got my ticket without the extra expense. Can't believe this still hasn't sold out.
I don't think there'll be too much trouble, the police will be all over it. Though I do have an ex-girlfriend who's a Palace season ticket holder who's determined to give me a good kicking!
Must admit I am finding this difficult to comprehend as EVERY charlton supporter I know bar one who will remain nameless is going & has their ticket already.
£30 quid is still a lot tho. and I know a few people that wouldn't want him taking their money. fair enough I say.
having said that, you would expect for everyone of them that thought that, there would be someone else lining up to take their place.
I have really strugged to pay for this game tbh, and could have done with it being 2 weeks later. it is the first of my only 2 away games between now and 2008.

i'd buy that reason if it was the £35 quid again, or if we were being charged more than palace fans are, but we're not.
Anyone who says they can't afford £30 is just making excuses. Either that or they might as well give up watching football.

i am the same suz, i am whey skintos (shock!) really struggled to put the 30 notes together, and i have plans later that evening too, my old Ma is going to be 60 and we are booked into a resteraunt in blackheath so need to drive cos A, i am skint (shock) and 3, i need to be at blackheathg for a reasonable time. But i am still going!
People using the 'oh i aint giving him my money' excuse, is well, just a poor excuse!
it's embarrasing enough that we haven't sold out to s/t holders yet. if the same % of this years 'walk up support' buy tickets then we may come close to selling out, but i think the walk up supporters already probably have their tickets by borrowing vouchers.
if we don't sell out and i hear the 'your support is f***ing sh*t' or 'you couldn't sell all your tickets' coming from the covered end to visitors, can i boo the singers?
We'll take what we take. Sure holidays, the price and some families/kids not going (I would have taken Joe to another ground) as well as the staggered sales mean that it looks poor. If we win who cares how many few you are celebrating with as was the case last time. We took big numbers to Boro and B'burn and that didn't help us.
If we start winning away and at home then the buzz will pick up and so will the away following, IMHO. We have been able to pick our games in recent years and we've become fussy.
I will be interested to see what the home crowd is. High price, holidays, not doing great, team they don't care about. Lets see if they can break the 14000 mark.

slightly harsh, because of everyone's situation is different. I can't just fork out money here there and everywhere when and where i feel like it at the mo till i get paid. for whatever reason.
its a valid excuse, however, there should be others lining up behind those who can't afford it trying to snap these tickets up.
Dont think we can really take the piss out of Palace's support.
Ok, they get 5000 less per home game but they will sell the return match out in hours.
Going back to the original point. STH's had last week and Saturday to sort themselves. Red Card Holders should get tonight to get there ticket. Means that they will come to the game tonight as well.

really? surely the majority of fans wanting to go to this game would be season ticket holders?

Why the feck did he have to take the kidsoout today
Where are all the 'fans' who went over there when we went up??
Pathetic.

Giving this one a miss cos they think there's a good chance of there being trouble?
