    My prediction 
    20k on Saturday including away fans.
    24k plus will be announced.

    There isn’t a cat in hell’s chance of 20k on Saturday, IMO, bearing in mind the actual for AFCW was under 15k. I would say Saturday crowds are getting boosted by 2-3k. Not against that at all, but the club is eating its own revenue with the current reckless approach.

    Rain forecast all day Saturday as well in SE7. I think actual 15k would be pushing it.

    I had free tickets for Fleetwood and Wimbledon through work (Greenwich Council). There was a message on our intranet saying email the box office for free tickets (using your work email address). I contacted asking how many I could have and was basically told "how many do you want".

    The offer doesn't seem to be in place for the Oxford game, but is being repeated for MK Dons as I have just had confirmation back from the box office that I have been allocated 4 tickets.

    there was definitely more than airman's few hundred extra kid for a quid people at the last game so i've no doubt that the offers are working in getting more bodies in but i looked on the ticket site before the last game and a lot of areas were virtually sold out but in the ground they weren't but it wasn't like big chunks which you would expect if they had dumped tickets - it was more general gaps everywhere - strange - wonder if the ticket system is malfunctioning.   
    They are issuing vast numbers of tickets to groups that only want a few. Hence you get large gaps in each area. At the last game there were 8,000 unused tickets - some will be season tickets but nobody would imagine that is the majority.

    You wouldn’t know who attended on KFAQ and who had comps issued via primary schools, but we have enough experience of KFAQ to know that it is not significant relative to these numbers when restricted to U11s.

    For Saturday there are virtually no seats available except in the Covered End, and then not many, while four side blocks are apparently not available although it is equally possible they have been issued as comps too. If not it is foolish that these blocks are not available to buy. 
    Didn't you get sacked by the club about 15 years ago.

    Perhaps things have changed and you dont Know It All ?

    I know they're going well but that seems a generous estimate. 1,800 I reckon.

    I hear they are now punting the Sunderland game on 5th March by telling us we can buy early for friends and family as "you have a full selection of available seats in the stadium to choose from now." Apart from sounding desperate, how pathetic to be using their threat of blocking of unused seats for giveaways to encourage regular fans to buy theirs first?

    Charlton fans, hurry up and buy your tickets for Sunderland, so we can give away the rest to people that mainly don't give a flying fuck.

    I presume the Free Ticket bonanza is the brain child of Sandguard + Wayne Mumford. I'm all in favour of a fuller Valley but it appears a really scatter gun approach at present, throwing freebies around the Borough, with no cost involved, if its raining, cold will the non Charlton fan be arsed to turn up and sit through a League one game at the Valley? 
    I can see the sense in giving freebies away to fill the usually empty stands - East Stand Block A / B , West Stand Block H / R  but not filling North or rest of the West / East with freebie - day trippers. I have 3 young adult relatives who are coming up for Sunderland game - it erks me as a season ticket holder if i have to shell out for full price tickets to guarantee they can sit close to me & my son- if the Club are wholesale giving tickets away for free and these locals then may or may not be bothered to turn up? 
    Are Charlton ticket office following up these local's who are given freebie tickets - with further marketing? emails / texts to offer a discount on their next match ticket or info on forthcoming matches, tickets etc? 
    Where is the Marketing strategy? Sandguard risks "Blowing Apart" the 22/23 season ticket sales....alot of fans will surely be thinking too many freebies, awful season 21/22 a 4th year in third tier to "look forward to" That will be a challenge to put a positive spin on - It feels that the club is being steered by a person who has never run a football club before without an experienced CEO ......Oh yes that is the situation !

    I was hoping to go tomorrow but can’t buy a ticket near my dad as per usual in the west lower. Not even in the same stand so I can move to an empty seat near him. Not going to sit in another stand so just won’t go.

    It is now. Come 3pm I may be grateful. Come 5pm I’ll probably be relieved.

    Yep. Meeting mates beforehand but we are now split up in the ground as couldn't get tickets remotely close. Two of us in West Upper and two in Covered End. Pretty sure we'll have swathes of empty seats around us in the West.

    Questions for TS at the upcoming Q&A.

    Why is the club being run in such a manner that Charlton fans can't buy a ticket in a half empty stadium?

    Who is making these ridiculous decisions ?

    Does he intend to put someone competent in charge and if so when?
    Easy to answer, the people running the club are wankers.

    I told the story on here before about trying to buy my son a ticket for the Cambridge game only for it to be "sold out" with thousands and thousands of empty seats around me.

    It just seems crazy that people are effectively being discouraged from BUYING tickets - because there are none available - in order that free tickets can be given away to people who are never going to show up. Mental.

    Or the next fans forum on Thursday 17th March 2022.

    We must be flush as a club if we are turning down hard cash so we can fill 2 of the stands with freebies which we all know won’t be used. 

    If this was a trick used by Meire, people would be going barmy! And rightly so! 

    Piss poor from the club

    Have sent a tweet to the Fans Advisor for it yo be raised at the next fans forum. I would presume the Fans Advisor is already raising it with the club but no harm in asking the question.

    Ever since the Plymouth game there has been no joined up thinking from the club on this. Devaluing product by simply giving it away has no benefit particularly when you don't even know the details of the individuals who are using the tickets.

    The club really should be using the free advice of long term supporters who are happy to help in a collaborative approach like what has occurred in the past.

    Fans advisor has responded it will be raised and agrees the policy needs developing

    I think developing is an understatement. This is the stand lifetime fans couldn’t give the club money today for tickets

    They’ve done me a favour so far to be fair.
