In twenty (20) years as a season ticket holder mine has never been this late arriving.....probably because I didn't renew this year.
Not because I am anti Charlton (before the Pro Club Militia assault me), but because work commitments mean I will probably only get to about 6-10 games all season, so not worth the outlay.
Arrived yesterday, has the seat details on it. Small print says not transferable unless you arrange for a paper ticket with the ticket office and this cannot be done on matchdays. Not 100% but I thought the old books were transferable but obviously not to away fans.

I've just read the new T&Cs on the club's website. What you say appears to be the case. Previously there was the "right" to transfer. Mind you, the club is quoting the distance selling regs 2000 to avoid refunds. This legislation went off the statute books in June! Replaced by the Consumer Contracts Regs. They do, really, need to get a better law firm. (Or maybe a CEO who is a lawyer....?) #buildingabetterfuture
Mine turned up yesterday,at the top of the letter where my name and address is,is a sticker,with my details on but underneath that sticker is the name and address of someone else.How bad is that!!
can you still upgrade kids tickets to adult ones on a matchday ?
It's a little bit ambiguous. As far as I can tell no upgrades/transfers can be done on match day and a paper ticket gets issued. The T&Cs go on to say only three transfers per season thereafter an administration fee will be charged. It's unclear, but there's separate mention of under 11 tickets and evening matches when the kids ticket can be upgraded and the adult ticket moved but only if the tickets were in the family section. It is not clear whether such transfers/upgrades get included in the "three strikes and you are pay" rule.

I have an under 11 ticket for my youngster but she only comes ro 6-7 games a season. My mate usually comes to 5 or 6 of the rest of the games and we just uupgrade the ticket as and when we need to.
Hmm, doesn't look like we'll be able to do that anymore
I have not received anything, but is it reasonable to assume that if somebody has a full adult ticket, it can be used by somebody else if the person can't attend, without doing anything?

It's a plastic card. Like a debit/credit card. As they won't be asking for I/D I can't see why not.
However, if it's not meant to be transferable and for some reason it isn't working, you could have a problem, in exactly the same way, as if you gave your wife your debit card to go and buy something.

You could be right about transferability, I am not sure. However it seems reasonable that if I have paid for a full price seat for the season, then it ought not to matter who may be sitting there, the seat is bought and paid for. Why would it be a problem, there may be a reason, but I can't figure it?
Weren't the old season ticket books 'officially' non-transferable too. As long as you don't take the mick trying to get adults in on kids or OAP tickets its never been a problem before.
