If, like me, you are not renewing but plan to pick and choose games to attend then I think there will be plenty of offers throughout the season and it makes sense to attend these games so as to a) save some money but more importantly b) deny the regime as much income as possible. Hopefully too CARD will target these games where there will be a greater attendance.
It seems to have slipped under the radar that there is already an offer available for the opening two league games. Season ticket holders can purchase up to two tickets for both games at a flat rate £10 for adults. That means that a seat in the middle blocks of the East Stand that should be £26 are just £10. So not just saving yourself £16 but, if you were going anyway, denying the regime £16. It makes sense if you are only going occasionally to target games where there are offers available. So, if you are going, get a season ticket holder to buy your tickets and help but a dent in the regimes income.

It's not clear whether that means that the ST holder has to buy 4tix for 40 quid (2x2 games), or whether they can just buy one for a tenner.
Anybody know?
Jeez, you couldn't make it up!
Do I have to get a ticket for both Northampton AND Shrewsbury?
Soon to be divorced if you put her through 2 lots of hell.
For myself who decided not to purchase a season ticket for the first time in over 25 years, this is the sort offer I would take up, along with any freebies going around.
No merchandise, no food and drink, no valley gold, no programme, no season ticket. Just pop along when I'm not working, buy the cheapest option available and make as much noise as possible.
Can you just buy one at a tenner?
Or you need to buy 4?
Wording is unclear
I suppose I could but you a beer at bury if you're going as well. I seem to be buying everybody else one anyway.
I'll get my fix at away games. Other clubs will get my money - well done Roly and the witch, because of your behaviour, other clubs will be gaining money at the expense of Charlton. I for one will attend more away games than I would during a "normal" season (as in one where I go to each home game).
Oh alright, £20 to you!
