    Still plenty of tickets remaining.
    Really surprised at this.

    I assume the 6pm kick off is putting a few people off.
    Yeah, early kick off and 3 days notice probably hasn’t helped.

    I imagine this will still be the biggest crowd - or one of the biggest - a lot of players have ever played in front of.

    The ticket website payment system is down, would have gone otherwise

    Yes, I just tried to buy a ticket and got all the way through until payment. It says contact the booking office....which is of course closed all day today. If anybody at the club is seeing this, what should I do next?

    Payment system still down.  I 'phoned the club, they are aware but seemingly doing nothing about it.

    How do you know they aren’t trying to get it sorted?
    I’ll put money on it they are.
    A bit of an unfair assumption on your part AA, if I may say so.

    Unfortunately I am unable to go due to prior engagement, but the lads playing must be very excited to see the ticket sales COYR

    rain and 40mph winds might also put some off wanting to sit in the lower west....I've missed the Valley (but not that much ;)

    Yes that section is surprisingly draughty, no wonder they all bring thermoses and blankets to games!

    The payment page is working now.👍

    It’s a Charlton team in a final which doesn’t happen a lot so hopefully fans will support the lads, whatever the weather!

    I thought the semi-final was one of the most enjoyable games of the season, particularly as the team employed the concept of pass and move (rarely seen in these parts last season).

    We’ve got our tickets and am thoroughly looking forward to the game. Will hopefully have time for a pre-match pint in the Royal Oak

    Getting a weird glitch where Im trying to buy a ticket but when I add one to the basket it automatically adds two then complains Im not allowed 2? When I try to remove one it just dumps me back to the tickets landing page with an empty basket?

    Rain, wind, early kick off, shame not more notice available, they will do well to get 600 from the way it seems to be going according to reports on here, will look forward to watching.. on the stream.

    If you had had the conversation I had over the 'phone with the club's staff, you would have drawn the same conclusion.  Note, I didn't say they wouldn't do something about it, only that it would appear nothing was being done at the time I spoke with them.

    Anyway, it finally worked and my friend, a certain exceptional score and results predictor of this parish, and I are looking forward to our first visit to The Valley for over a year.

    I had this -had to buy 2 (allocated to someone on my friends list).  Guess it is to do with people sitting in bubbles/not sat next to a stranger.  Looks like there are some single seats in WSG which you should be able to buy on its own.

    Youre right, I had to assign the second ticket to a friend. All sorted now, thanks!

    What about encouraging tickets, are they?

    Do you think the club's trying to tell you something?

    Sounds like a "Cunning Plan" that Baldrick would have been proud of..

    I have given up now, the message has got through.

    So looking forward to walking into the Valley stadium 🏟️ again.

    After a lot of faffing about on the ticket website the B20 gang  finally aquired 6 ticket's in the same area.

    A visit to the Royal Oak first for a lemonade 😁 or two.

    Just received an email with a link to a video regarding tomorrow night.

    Unless you bring a blanket &/or a thermos in a clear plastic bag you may have to join a different queue where presumably a search will be conducted......bit OTT methinks. With no services available on the concourses, and people coming straight from work or school, I would have thought it sensible to bring a sarnie & a drink ( with no top , of course !) 

    Not to worry. 

    My bottle of plonk will be hidden safely inside my coat with a long, flexible straw snaking under my scarf in the direction of my large gob (so I'm told...) 

    Who needs a blanket for inner warmth !

    We are still under partial lockdown restrictions at the moment, the club needs to plan ahead to know how many stewards to have and which areas to open up

    If it's like the MKD game I went to, they'll make a loss on the exercise because of the number of extra staff needed

    If you conquered Yeovil in the monsoon like conditions, this will be a doddle.
