Don't panic. Donny will give us the extra 800 tickets.
When? Last night when only a few left surely the "normal" thing would be to have the ready due to the likely outcome this morning. Add in the faulty ticket software (see above) and yet again let down. Even the "loyalty" system isn't that - its a "points for buying on Charlton site before the game" system. Can't even express how pssd off I am. So much elation and then the club (not players etc.) get involved....
Isn't a history of buying tickets a display of loyalty? I'm pretty critical of the club but I don't think they can be at fault here.
Rovers have placed tickets for the Sky Bet League One play-off semi-final on general sale.
Supporters wishing to purchase tickets on general sale for the first leg at the Keepmoat Stadium can now do so from the Club Doncaster Box Office.
The club are aware Charlton Athletic are close to selling out their initial allocation and the club will monitor the first day of general sales before making a decision on whether to grant the Addicks any additional tickets.
Been very interesting to see if they sell out the Jimmy Seed next week
Well they only brought 617 fans for the 2-0 defeat at the Valley in the League and 250 fans for the FA Cup
Play-Off Semi-Final is of course a lot bigger than either but their average attendance @ the Keepmoat has only been 8,000 this season so cant imagine them bringing many more fans than what have already purchased
Its all become a bit too much for Covered End , where is he ?
20% arguing with the neighbour re tree surgery 25% he’s just realised he hasn’t got his own tickets so is on 6 computers and 4 phone lines now joining the queue to purchase his home and away tickets . 55% given up on Charlton fans who have taken cluelessness, laziness and stupidness to a new level in trying to purchase a ticket
pray for covered end 🙏
Just got back from the doctors. Apparently I'm suffering with Charltonitis. He's told me this can go two ways. I'll either be overcome with euphoria by the 26th May or will sink into a deep depression.

Tickets currently available 755.
Still no sign of East & West Stand closed blocks opening up for sale.
15 seats remain on the coaches.
Doncaster still have 345 tickets available for the JS stand but are only selling in the first three blocks at the moment. So probably about 1,100 sold for them so far.
There are still 3,092 tickets available for them at The Keepmoat.
The first two blocks in their East Stand are marked up as away fans only.

We brought 1101 up for the league match a couple of months ago, yet could now probably shift 4 to 5 thousand
If we had been 6th and Doncaster 3rd, maybe the roles would have been reversed

Yes the loyalty system is how it should be and works perfectly tickets should first go available to fans who have been to the most games this season, don’t really understand how people can complain about it.

Thats completely up to Doncaster... Out of Charlton's hands now
So Charlton couldn't have a) called Doncaster yesterday and said it looks like we need those extra seats you've already offered? then b) placed a note on the website etc. stating what would happen.... OR EVEN BETTER, simply added them to the sales list for this morning. Can't wait for the Wembley sale to go as smoothly as 98, or the away to Man Utd in FA Cup in early 90's (sorry can't be bothered to look up what year that was).
Own update - and couldn't have sorted with Donny WHEN they are allowed to sell them???
We've been trying to sort that for two days! We're completely at their mercy. Until they give the green light, we can't put them on sale.
Sell them anyway and when Donny ask why you did it, say Roland said it was ok to do so

I genuinely hate the way we gripe at each other, and yet no find myself having to explain myself to the detriment of other fans. The loyalty scheme DOES NOT reward points for attending games, it awards points for (from the official Charlton site), "providing they have purchased their tickets in advance using their Fan ID". As someone who regularly cannot commit to buying tickets for work reasons (and sometimes family reasons) I buy nearly all tickets on the day - especially away tickets. My last minute dash to Doncaster ironically being one of them this season. So I do not have the loyalty points I *should* have.
There’s 3 wheel chair bays left just trying to buy 3 wheel chairs on eBay
You jest, but a spanner friend told a wheelchair-bound acquaintance, who had no interest in football, he was going to Millwall's last game at The Den because going as the acquaintance's carer was the only way he could get a ticket.

So unfortunately it's down to you then, it was your choice. Let's hope the extra 781 go on sale soon.

Just went on The Viking’s forum and evidently they have only sold around 600 so far......which, if true, is extremely disappointing. As usual for the away team, they have been given the entire Jimmy Seed.....3000+.
My choice? Words cannot describe... Although I'm glad you can now see / admit that the loyalty scheme is not that, it is a "buying tickets through the website early scheme". Not the same thing at all.
My best guess for your next move will be: a) You don't post on here enough - wonder why? b) You're part of the RD team (had that before) c) You're not a real fan - had that before.
I vented annoyance and frustration at the system failing, and the scheme being flawed. Where did I do it - on a fans forum. May God strike me down.......

Thanks for that!
No ticket for us as they sold out by 9.03, brother was in queue
Not your fault...but still wanted to have a dig at the general - "everyone will get one" / "calm down" that people have been coming out with
Am tense and nervous and really want a ticket!
Play-Off Semi-Final is of course a lot bigger than either but their average attendance @ the Keepmoat has only been 8,000 this season so cant imagine them bringing many more fans than what have already purchased
not a chance I'd say, 2,000 absolute tops I reckon

Three of us in hospitality.
Rovers supporters wanting to attend Sunday’s Sky Bet League One play-off game will need to buy a ticket in advance with no cash gates in operation.
Tickets are now on general sale. Rovers supporters will need to have a prior purchase history or proof of a Doncaster address.
