Just keep on mind that no one on here thought we would sell out the away tickets, "anyone that wants one will get one" was banded around. No one imagined we would sell 20,000 home tickets 10 days ago. The club are obviously supprised as well. They can't just "put tickets on sale".
Regardless of the ownership I think we need to give all concerned a bit of slack on this one. Saying that it IS the owners fault we didn't expect to sell out a home semi final.
Anyone that wanted an away ticket got one. I think they took them off sale with a few remaining and announced it as sold out.
How many people tried to buy the when they first went on general sale and didn't know extra where made available?
Who knows ? But I do know there will still tickets showing available, when they took them off sale, in order to be able to do their admin. I can't remember how many, think it was something like 30.
Just caved in to the little man and got us seats in the Jimmy Seed. No print at home/scan from home for that stand though so let’s just assume we’ll miss the first 10-minutes because of Rolunds horrendous understaffing and general shitness

Or you could collect the tickets nice and early ?
1,000 seats in blocks D,E,F,K and L will become available in The Valley's south stand, which is usually exclusively reserved for visiting supporters.
Once those tickets are sold, it will mean that well over 24,000 Addicks will pack out the stands at Friday’s big game. The remaining seats in the previously-closed block of the West Stand were due to go on sale on Monday, but were snapped up by internal sales, including family and friends of playing and coaching staff, leading to the decision being made to open up the Jimmy Seed Stand to home supporters for the first time since 2012.
Jimmy Seed stand tickets will not be able to be printed at home or sent via the post and must be collected from the Valley's Ticket Office which will reopen at 9am on Wednesday morning. If tickets remain, they will also be available to purchase in person from the Ticket Office.
Supporters who are attending Friday evening's match are reminded to leave plenty of time to enter the ground due to the higher-than-usual attendance and are also urged to avoid bringing bags, if possible, to ease security checks upon entrance.
East Stand ticket holders should be aware that there will be no entrance available via Landsdowne Mews and must enter the ground via the East Stand Harvey Gardens turnstiles.
The Landsdowne Mews entrance will be reserved for home fans in the Jimmy Seed Stand.
So essentially the club handled this well. An effective near sell out with supply gradually managed to create demand. A functioning online ticket system with communication messages encouraging everyone to check their fan ID / login before tickets on sale and regular updates throughout. A few incentives to buy tickets thrown in. Unanticipated segregation in the JS stand.
For any relatively minor faults within this process they must reasonably be judged as acceptable in the grand scheme of things.
Well done one to all concerned I say.
Sure there will be some issues on the night getting everyone in on time but what a pleasant problem to have.

Charlton and Doncaster Rovers supporters thinking of attending the EFL play-off 2nd leg match on Friday night, please note that the match is all ticket so you can not buy tickets on the turnstiles. @CAFCofficial@drfc_official#Addicks
Doncaster Rovers supporters heading to The Valley on Friday for the play-off 2nd leg match please note that there are no away pubs near the ground. The closest pubs are in Greenwich or London Bridge.
Turnstiles open at 1815hrs. Have a safe journey down. @drfc_official
Bloody hell. I was so wrong in my expectations for this crowd. It's bewildering how different it is to last year. Amazing that after 5 years of Roland we can still get a crowd out. It gives me hope for the future. Please just sell the club and begone.

We've not needed to subcontract to Ticketmaster either this year

Is that enough to be more than Crystal Palarse’s largest gate this season; and
more than Sunderland v Pompey in the play off match ?
bragging rights is everything .
