Charlton Athletic FC @CAFCofficial 12m SOLD OUT: Tickets in the away end for our opening game of the season at @BrentfordFC have now completely sold out. See you there! #cafc
Ficking dogshit waited for 58 minutes on my mobile as at work went to all away games but one last season and to be told that sold out. Bollocks organisation charlton. Any spares going need 2
Wonder how many Charlton will be in the home ends?
Won't be able to, the match is all ticket and isn't going on general sale, so unless you have prior booking history with them then it will be difficult.
Why do people complain? it's dog eat dog, first game of the season first comes first serve.
See you there.
It's not first come first serve as people have priority over others. I am not a ST holder whereas I have been in previous a years due to work. It didn't eve get to general sale so I couldn't get a ticket.

What should the club do then, reserve a load of tickets for non season ticket holders?

Where there's a will...........
It's a massive game for Brentford as well, their first game in the second tier for 20 years. There will be plenty of demand for tickets from home supporters as well

Was on hold for too long earlier and had to leave it. Shame but as said above hopefully we'll be scheduled a less 'in demand' first game next season. Brighton coming up soon so not overly bothered about this but will be buying in person for that and not holding on a phone line for ages.
Got through straight away, they really need to sort out the system though. 1 per a ST, priority for travellers last season etc. Shame as I thought it was fixed after the Swindon game.

It's still a far better system than was in place for the nonsense we had for the Swindon game

Yep, it's a very poor system, rather than a disgraceful one. Absolutely no reason why they couldn't have applied the same criteria for this one as they applied for the last high demand away game last season - Valley Gold and 5 year STs first, then Season ticket holders with 4 plus away credits from last season, then season ticket holders and non-season ticket holders with 4 away match credits, then general sale, or something like that. Means that the people who go to the crap stuff like Huddersfield away as well as the more appealing games are guaranteed a ticket, and means that the poorly staffed (in terms of numbers) ticket office doesn't get a deluge of telephone calls that it can't properly manage.
Yep, everyone knew it was going to be a high demand game so they should have stated 4 or 5 aways from last season as a start not just open it to all season ticket holders.
Go to about 10/15 away each yeah. First time I thought I wouldn't get a ticket for a big match. Very lucky today to get them. Been lucky both times now with brentford/ Swindon which were a free for all.
There should be a loyalty scheme where you add up points per away attended IMO. I've not missed out as I'm away on holiday, but I got one of the last tickets for Sheff Utd last season (wish I hadn't) and I attended many aways. The fans with points built up should be prioritized with VG and ST holders etc.
The thing is most season ticket and VG members attend a good amount of away games too. I think its a fair system tbh. Those who have a five year season ticket and those that have a season ticket and Valley Gold are paying for the future of the club. They should and will get priority.
On the VG note, I emailed them over a week ago to join and not even heard back. We all know once the excitement of the first game dies down it will be back to get any ticket to any away game
I missed one away last season forest on a Tuesday night as I was ill, pretty pissed off that I haven't got a ticket after being on the phone for 58 mins. No doubt I'll be 1 of the 250 that travel to Bolton and Huddersfield etc. Hoping a spare or two come up
I would endorse a loyalty system but if not for games like this ( and we all know the necessary fixtures in advance) there is no reason what so ever why the rule should not be changed to 1 per season ticket holder.
