All those who boycotted and haven’t been season ticket holders should have had first dibs on seats . Those who made the biggest sacrifice (by not going to The Valley) should have been rewarded rather than us (I’ve continued as a season ticket holder with the brainwashing of 3 of my kids) who fed the twunt and crooks . It may well have kept the club alive but it also may have prolonged the filth owning our club continuing rather than pissing off and selling earlier .
I stayed away, not having a season ticket for the first time in over forty years, losing my seat in the AC stand that I had from the day it opened. Yes it would have been nice to get that seat back but it is what it is and I knew it was a possibility when I decided to boycott. It’s not as if there are not other seats available, I really don’t get the fuss nor the sense of entitlement some seem to have. Just get a season ticket, support Thomas and support the team from your new seat. You might get to like it.
Shame they released people’s seats last year but guess that was the previous wrong uns in charge - I assume everybody who renewed last year had had their seats held for a while this year ????
Why would they not release seats to be available for others to purchase if the previous incumbent had not renewed? Nothing to do with who was in charge - that has always, quite correctly, been the process.
Yes, those that did renew last year will have their seats held for a period of time (yet to be communicated) - again, standard practice.
because a big chunk of the fanbase didn't renew due to the crooks
And a big chunk didn’t, how are the new ownership supposed to know?
The sense of entitlement of some of our fans is hilarious.
“Im not going to renew my season ticket but I expect the seat I want to be available when I decide I want it again”
i don't have an issue and understand but a lot do - i'm not complaining about the new ownership but in the circumstances would have been nice if existing seats were not released last year - unless the owners at the time instructed them to be

Totally unworkable to reserve anything that you bought once and might want it again on the 12th of Never. Doesn't work for seats in a stadium.
ok - not worth arguing about but if you can hold season ticket seats on a system for a period, u can extend that period - very simple - anyway, move on, we have bought 6 and moved position, not an issue - last year was the first year in 37 that i didn't have a season ticket and hopefully the issue will not arise again
Has anyone thought about what might happen if (and it’s a big if right now) we should reach the play off final, who will get ticket priority? I’m guessing those that had tickets this year first then those that have just purchased for next year.
New ST seats for me next season. Fourth different place I've had STs. AC stand since it opened, moved to West Upper after they were made a bit cheaper for one season, then West Lower for my last couple of STs.
Now moved to three new seats in the West Lower where I'm hoping the pitch views are at the best level to watch the game. Just behind the away dugout to enable me to provide the opposition Manager with some 'bants'. (My favourite being throwing a packet of Fisherman's friends towards said dugout which that nice Mr Dyche thanked me for).
Not too concerned if the seats aren't perfect, just happy to be back at The Valley.
We're in league one, far from being anywhere close to sold out so even if some people can't get the seats they've always had, surely they'd be able to get some relatively close by.

Let's save that row for when it never happens 😂. I think people complaining that theyv had to move 10ft is the main priority atm.

I didn't renew my seats last season because of COVID; having been back with a half-season ticket the previous season with somewhat misguided relief that Duchatelet had finally gone. I have renewed this year. I was lucky and got our old seats back. Do I have a certain affinity to those seats? Yes I suppose so. But I would have gone somewhere else. Why do I like the seats? Well, the blocks as shown on the ground plan don't match reality. My block is an "L-shape". The adult price is £455 but my seat is near the half-way line and I know that there are people sitting behind me paying £575. So there can be rational reasons why people want there old seats back!
Myself @southamptonaddick (Dad) and our nephew/grandson have got our season tickets. Poor lad is Charlton mad and I am so happy that his first games at Charlton will be under Sandgaard and he can see the brighter future!
Personally have missed football like mad and cant wait to return. At 31 years old this is my first season ticket!

Current season ticket holders ie 20/21, then loyalty points etc. Can’t imagine buying one now for next season would have any relevance ...

We need to argue about playoff semi final tickets before we can get into over final tickets.

Nah Nah Nah... People from tier four areas during the December games (that could have fans) should be getting priority
Everyone else has had their opportunity to see a game this season, now its our turn
Well i'm not quite 65 and Jnr is now 18. It's going to be a pricey one for me
but from next season he is now legally allowed to go to the bar...that’s worth the admission price alone...
Not when you have to wait 20 minutes to get served a Fosters at £5.50
Isn’t that the point of the benefit of being able to finally take turns going going to bar with his son ? He will probably still have to give him the money to pay for the drinks though but one step at a time...

It’s not about sense of entitlement , how about the fact many wouldn’t have renewed due to an ongoing pandemic and not expecting to get to get a game and seeing it as a wasted investment ? You honestly think people have 300,400 pound to spend on something where they know they aren’t going to get any use out of it? Would have been nice if the club had recognised this even if just for 1 week to allow people to buy but as I say it is what it is
Just renewed mine. Normally my boy and i sit in NWA but theres literally about 3 seats unsold so moved over to NWB. Looking forward to getting back to The Valley

5% serious
80% what a load of shit
15% confused
100% unworkable without a riot

Jeez, I have vague memories of meeting you and your dad with some tickets before a game once and you would have been a teenager then! Time is a flying
Yes, pretty much this.
In reality neither are happening though.
