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.
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...

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
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.
Only genuine and loyal fans have a season ticket. Not sure how old Kings Hill Addick is, but I'm guessing younger rather than older. I'm 56 started going when I was about 5, was at the Arsenal cup game in 68, was with the boys through all the good times in the 70,s and have the experience and police record to prove it, went to Palace when we moved, went to West ham when we moved, was on the valley party campaign, was at the valley clear up, had a season ticket from then until a couple of years back. Now, I'm more casual red card pay per game fan. However, my past means nothing I am not either a loyal or genuine fan ! Surprised they let me in !
Oh an lets not forget £1000 worth of shares I bought that were cancelled ! An the £1 I put in the bucket buy Ronnie Moore
Etc etc !
An yes you have wound me up !
But unless I got a season ticket, I'm not proper Charlton !

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.
Got tickets for both Millwall and Sheffield, first two aways of this season, can't wait!!!
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!

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.

If we'd actually drawn man city/arsenal/Everton would have sold out this morning (although guess we would have had more tickets).
Haven't you got a S/T Badger & was you planning to go to The Valley or ring up ?

Likely there will be 800/900 left for sale on Monday, with likelihood to sell out by mid-day Monday.
Should be a great day.
Hope everyone who wants tickets can get them.
