no reason whatsoever now to not just open the closed blocks in the east/west, seems to just be single seats dotted about in virtually every other block in the ground ???
the situation with season-ticket holders not having access to their regular seats cos they're greyed out on the seat selection page was downright retarded and hopeless by whoever "designed" the website and whichever poor overworked, underpaid sap had to sign it off The mixture of menus that are opened by clicking or hovering is completely random and monumentally stupid. Using an ipad or similar touchscreen computer: 'hover' menus are utterly useless. Not realistically fit for purpose. To have the instructions for season ticket holders to find their reserved seats tucked away under a link on one story on the club website was just laughable. For the S/T reserved seats to be hidden in a new line under an unrelated drop down when there is a big red "Add" link smack in the middle of the page is ridiculous. roly's toxic pantomime has had none of my money for nearly 4 years now but I do help out a lifelong senior fan with techy stuff and buying tickets etc - to his credit he's not letting a lying deluded crackpot keep him from supporting his football team, we disagree but it doesn't come between us. Quite how supporters of my mate's age/ilk or anyone with any sort of vision impairment was expected to succeed baffles me. The supposedly dedicated playoff ticket phone line was unavailable past 9:20 this morning, despite the advertised opening hours on the specially minted cards from Saturday. All the while the usual ticket phone number was telling us to call the special number as the only way to buy tickets over the phone. An hour or so later the playoff ticket number had a queue so long it wasn't taking calls. Quite how they've sold "15000 tickets" is interesting indeed. A good chunk of the 5-6000 S/T holders will be sitting on unfamiliar seats, through no fault of their own, with their usual seats finally up for grabs later. All entirely commensurate with roly's risible clusterfumble. Online ticket sales incur a spurious, if small, fee but then there is no charge for posting out the tickets, which would be wholly justifiable. None of which is to directly criticise any ticket office individual. We know fine well that they are way too few in number, shamefully underpaid, brazenly stolen from (bonus issue) and the pressure of working for a thoroughly loathsome pariah must get to the best and most resilient of them. Since calling to speak to a human isn't possible, my old mate was going to email the ticket office to request that they correctly relocate him. I wished him lots of luck but we neither are holding our breath in anticipation of action or response. COYR
Update on the clusterfumble: Credit where credit is due, my mate George got a reply to his email, telling him they'd tried to ring him - oddly no call came through. The email redundantly had a link to the generic information on buying match tickets. Explanation that George couldn't be relocated back to his proper seat cos all the S/T's had been released the day before and now sold, kind of held water. Until one considers the fact that George's tickets arrived in the post before the communiqué from the ticket office. They'd mailed em out the day before, all very efficient but it rather dismantles the quoted excuse.
Hopefully the experience will propagate joined up thinking and narratives when they come to sell the Wembley tickets, cos I'll be with Geo for that one. Don't go burying the actually useful information in the depths of the OS waffle.
Here's hoping Charlton don't need a Liverpool/Spurs type comeback next Friday and Donny can't pull off anything similar.

With "3001 then additional 781" situations won't the 'issue' delay have been financial? Visiting clubs who have variable allocations like this, usually only have to pay for the tickets they sell out of the initial allocation but the home club is entitled to charge for all of the additional tranche, regardless of how many are actually taken up. The delay here will have been no Charlton management in post permitted to sanction a liability of 781 x £21 and the current owner only having 1.5% of his time available for anything Charlton and of course the hateful old twunt has the blocks on all costs irrespective of their reasonableness or even legitimacy, this crooked old scumbag thinks nothing of stealing from his own employees. Good luck all heading oop narth.
