Edit. I should mention that this was the estimate given separately.
Wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get close. CatJnr went to the St Mary's game and they sold out the allocation there fairly comfortably (proud to say that he made it onto the pitch at the end with his black and white scarf and "we want our Charlton back" banner)

She really does live in a fantasy world.
Ah yes Katrien. These teenagers who support the big four will be swayed by this one off game and then they can replace all the old fans, seems legit.
It will sell out comfortably and in terms of brand exposure it's a good move.
The 22 YouTube players last year had a combined 40m subscribers around the world and their respective videos of the match got a combined 30m views.
It's likely to attract youngsters with their families who will typically spend a fortune going to the occasional game at a PL club not realising how much cheaper and accessible the Valley is.
The organisers are also aiming to raise £200k for charity so it's win win.

She really can't stop herself can she? I was reading the announcement and wondering how anybody could complain about this. Then I got to Meire's quote. Clueless.

Really ? I'm astonished that something like this would sell out but I think it's another sign of how out of touch I'm becoming.
I also thought Katrien's comment was perfectly acceptable. It's true, charity event that fills the Valley and some may return to watch Charlton play (possibly not that many, but some)
Their video with the details of the match was posted 3 hours ago and it's already been viewed nearly 400 thousand times. Incredible numbers
Not sure why last year at Southampton was limited to 15 thousand tickets but 27 thousand available for this year and I think they'll sell it out. Crazy.

Took Nug Jnr to this last season at Southampton, was packed out. At least that's one game at the Valley this season I won't have to beg him to go to.

Very rich dudes! KSI has 16 million subscribers on his YouTube channel.
My son tells me one of them is a Charlton fan....Lewis Redman. By the way most of them are crap footballers.
My 14 year old son told me about this today and he was more excited about it than any Charlton game this season ! What has this world come to . He's going with 6 if his mates . Could well be the biggest crowd at The Valley this season . Don't underestimate the momentum of this YouTube cobblers.
My best mate matches brands and youtubers/instagrammers for sponsorship etc and they get paid absolutely eye watering amount of money for just mentioning a product in an Instagram post or in a YouTube video. It's crazy

I've heard that the more prominent members of the sidemen earn a few million a year? Eye watering indeed.

What happened to the other 20k seats then?

I can see it selling out.
I don't see this one as a bad thing at all.

Half the profit to CACT is great.

Tickets will sell on line only and go within a week. 26k anticipated.
Either way, as Leeds points out above, half of this goes to the Community Trust, so as far as I'm concerned it's a good thing.

Basically a team made up of other prominent Youtubers who fans of the Sidemen will be aware of. So other fifa YouTubers, some vloggers, some gamers.
It's a crazy, crazy world.
