  • Superb amount of tickets bought already.

    If we'd actually drawn man city/arsenal/Everton would have sold out this morning (although guess we would have had more tickets).

    I hope someone can help Badger. A bit bad, if the guy who set up the Eltham Suporters branch can't get a ticket.

    Haven't you got a S/T Badger & was you planning to go to The Valley or ring up ?
  • If you've already bought one on your ST, can you use your CON number again to buy up to four ?

    If so @Badger, you're welcome to use my con number and phone up tomorrow fella if no one else can help. I'm at Leicester so won't be able to call for you

    Most people will have done their buying now, with season ticket holders able to buy 4 tickets, most will have bought for friends who haven't got one. We may not even sell out.
  • A Few questions. Maybe somone can help? When do tickets go on general sale (if there are any left). If there are some left, can they only be bought by going to the Valley, or are you able to buy via phone. Advice appreciated

    General sale on Monday, and they can be bought via phone or by visiting The Valley.
  • If you've bought two as a season ticket holder on the first day can you ring now and buy another 2?
  • How many non-Charlton supporters do you reckon fancy a 12 o'clock trip to Sheffield anyway?

    I really don't get the whole bandwagon thing. It's not exactly a glamour tie at a brilliant ground at a convenient time is it?

    Most of the tickets bought will be held by ST holders and or regular attendees.

    Or @carlsberg‌ *cough*
  • Got tickets for both Millwall and Sheffield, first two aways of this season, can't wait!!!

  • I bet even Medders wants a ticket.
  • Would love to go but Perth, WA would be a bit of a journey for this one. If we make Wembley I will have to fly back though! Any other Addicks Down Under making the trip if we make Wembley?

    My return flights are booked for may, starting to look in to options to fly home early-although it will be easter holidays, so might be a bit of a stretch financially. Gutted to be missing the quarter final already. If we do make the final though it's the day after i am supposed to get back. Oh to dream...

    Yes, and there was no need to wait.

    I foresaw a trip to Wembley this year back in 2012, so we made the journey home then so we would be well prepared (been back two years now). I did, however, fly from The Bahamas the last time we were at Wembley

  • The President, Thanks for the info
  • To be honest I don't understand how there can be that many genuine loyal fans that don't have a season ticket. This is not a dig as I don't care how people pay for their tickets but I can't understand how anyone would set out to go very regularly and not buy a season ticket.

    Before I get attacked, I understand that not all students keep a season ticket when they are away and I understand that some can't afford to go to every game so they don't go to all the home games, but I don't see how there can be that many when our average game is only a couple of thousand more than the number of season ticket holders.

    Thus there shouldn't be many that would have a genuine gripe if they don't get a ticket that couldn't get one until Monday.

    Not a dig at you KHA but:

    My situation. Until last season me and my sons had season tickets - and we tried to maintain home match attendance as best we could with a 450 mile round trip to The Valley from Cheshire having moved there from Kent some years ago. But it just got too much so we didn't renew this year. Being where we are we can often get to away games - including Sheffield Wednesday on Monday hence my ability to buy tickets before general sale.

    For the Sheffield United game my son and I will be leaving Edinburgh at 6am on the Sunday morning (up there for the rugby) to get to Sheffield in plenty of time.

    Having said all of that, I'm not a season-ticket holder anymore but I believe I am still a genuinely loyal fan (born in Woolwich and been going to The Valley since the age of six - so for about 50 years!) and believe I have every right to buy tickets before general sale.

    Yes, there will be some plastics but very few I would suggest.

    good post Bob.
    There are many people in the same boat as you,that have 'migrated' away from SELondon/Kent over the years , but have never dropped their affiliation with the club, who are unable to maintain a Season ticket.
    You only have to look at the 98 final to see how many people support Charlton - and in actual fact, i remember my Dad telling me once that post the war in late 40's/early 50's Charlton had the biggest fanbase in the land - even bigger than Man U and Arsenal, and were regularly getting crowds of 60/70,000.
    So, yes, there is a huge following of Charlton out there that dont have season tickets for various reasons that wont get a ticket for Sheffield, but lets hope that they can be fulfilled in the next round !
  • I will be very surprised if anyone posting on here - and so sees details of spares that become available during the course of next week - isn't able to get a ticket before next weekend.

    Good for you. Won't be my first... IF I can find someone to sell me a spare ticket that is!

    If there is anyone going to Leicester who has a spare Sheff U ticket and can bring it and will flog it to me please send me an inbox message. Put my mind at rest someone please.

    Plenty of loyal genuine fans 'Down Under' that still live and breath the club but obviously can't go every week!
  • Just ordered mine on the phone only waited about 5mins.

    4300 gone as at 10.30.
    Likely there will be 800/900 left for sale on Monday, with likelihood to sell out by mid-day Monday.
  • I'd suggest that even now we have a fair number of ST holders who aren't particularly loyal or passionate about CAFC.
  • Season ticket holder but can't make it next Sunday-envy those that are going.
    Should be a great day.
    Hope everyone who wants tickets can get them.
  • I hope after all this effort and expense by the fans that Powell and the team turn up and put some bleedin' effort in
  • I just have to say that Clem Snide is my new best friend and not for the first time offer my thanks to CL which facilitated it. If AFKA and co are reading this, take a bow. Onwards and upwards. Now to work out if a decent pub will be open early.
  • OiOiiiii finally got hold of some this morning! Only just though lol, rant over
