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.
If you want the club to attract the attention of potential buyers, this is how it’s done.
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.
We've not needed to subcontract to Ticketmaster either this year
I thought ticket sales had been outsourced to an outside contractor

Yes, who did the telephone sales ? Probably Ticketmaster.

Last year the online ticket sales were done via Ticketmaster, whereas this year it's all been through our own ticketing system
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.
Great. Only those in the JS stand can enter via Lansdiwn Mews. So that's aro6nd 1000 people. The other 6000 odd have to enter "down the bottom".
One if the reasons why I thought they wouldn't open up the JS to us. Segregation. I expect they will probably have sole use of that toilet too.

If you you rang up then you got through to an outside contractor. I think they managed the online sales too but used our system.
This is insane . The club has so much potential it's unreal . Surely this will attract more interest from prospective buyers . Great club , great fans what's not to like ?
