I’m going to probably renew but the thing putting me off at the moment, other than crap football, is no pricing for Valley Express. Seeing as my wife can’t renew for next season, someone has to babysit the dogs, I’m not driving up from East Sussex on my tod so until they announce Valley Express prices, if they still run it, I’m out.
£575 for me. I love my seat so will continue to pay it. £575 to watch Gilbey pointing is a lot of money though.
The way he throws his arms up in the air as a surprise about his first touch, passing and shooting, makes me think he's just warming up for next season. It will definitely be worth it!
I will renew, as I've said previously it's about the day (and not the football) for me and my crowd. Whilst my kids still love it then that's good enough for me. I'm very lucky to be in a fortunate enough position to be able to afford to as well.
My kids remember Wembley and hopefully they'll be days like that again....
Christ we are all going to Rotherham Saturday as they've been desperate to do a 'proper' long distance away game all season...must be mad
i have used my actual st 4 times this season, as other times my mates who all sit in west have had a spare and ive sat with them instead of using my st for north upper
I am going to renew purely based on the fact that I go with my grandad (and now my mum wants to go too) so has been a family tradition going back years and years. However I want to move to a cheaper block in West. Do I ring up and ask to renew in a different seat that isn't in the best location or wait until June when the season tickets get released from hold and hope there are better seats available?
Ring up and ask what's available & if it's what you want.
I spoke to ticket office Saturday and they were really friendly and helpful - give em a bell
Probably already been asked so apologies if so as i haven't read the entire thread but in the West, why are M and N the same zone/price as the corresponding blocks below them (D & E) but then as you go along, L & P are different prices to C & G? K is different to B, but then J is the same as A. Makes no sense at all.

Because the lower tier is considered a better view so the combination of halfway line and lower tier is deemed the premium seating. I guess the club thinks if it had a flat structure in the upper tier some people who want to sit on halfway in the lower tier would opt for the £400/£425 prices instead of paying £575/£625 - personally I think you only need one price in the upper tier.
The number paying top price to sit in M and N is likely to be small (there are about 120 seats not available, so probably 70 adults). The difference might generate £10k in £2m plus of revenue, so 0.5% of the total or the equivalent of £1 per existing season-ticket holder. I doubt if there are many match by match sales there.
It’s more important to focus on things that change the numbers significantly.
Renewed - lower west - block D - it’s such a good seat, and despite this being a crap season, I enjoy my Charlton time
Word of warning re block D in the lower west - this is the block where, unless you are existing season ticket holder, if you buy season ticket in this block, you have to join Club 1905, which I think is about £2,400 per season
I am pretty sure this remains the case, unless someone better informed than me can advise different

In addition, M & N have padded seats, so you'd want to charge an extra couple of hundred for the luxury of sitting on an old piece of foam! They also use those seats as part of the hospitality package with the Vista Lounge, so a way of sweating the assets - if I can use that phrase.

I think that’s only the hospitality seats at the front, which you can’t buy anyway.
A bit of a heart-in-mouth moment just now when I renewed my ST for the women's games and got an automated email titled "CAFC Confirmation Email 2021-22". Fortunately the rest of the email did have the right dates in all the right places, but the notification that popped up on my phone was panic-inducing.
Bit disappointing tbh. After a shite season I was hoping for something incentivised and with a clear marketing plan to drive increased sales and take some positive momentum into the new season. This isn’t doing that.
And as we pride ourselves as a family club, it’s very disappointing that a family of 4 would be (my calculations) £110 better off sitting in the CBL Upper at Millwall watching Championship football than we would watching L1 in the North Upper.
With the earlybird discount finishing so early before any potential signings are made, the hope will largely be on maintaining as many as the current ST base as posssible over the next few weeks, rather than driving momentum around a cheaper offer and attracting current non-ST holders.
And what was the point of burying the news on the morning of a Matchday? Could understand if it was to be tied into a visual approach, but every poster around the ground and in the toilets were still advertising this season prices. Completely wasted Matchday opportunity, strategy just makes no sense.
Could be premier league football yet 😉
But you'll still be glued to Charltonlife.
I only come to see OohAahs rants. The man’s a legend
i wasn’t able to attend the hastily organised last minute FTV meeting. I did however give feedback which was broadly in line with TS comments at start of the season. From what I can see as someone else said this has been decided without needing any input from fans, or even heeding TS comments at the start of the season to ff/ftv about simplifying and levelling. I also suggested they be far more radical on kids pricing. For me personally it’s looking more and more like fan communication is lip service pr only, and commercial is just more of the same but a slightly more polished turd having appeared to be far more enlightened at first. It seems they listen to consultants not fans. To make matters worse I still can’t have a drink in the ground for which might have eased issues around watching the same crap dolled out on the pitch.
Have to say it’s disappointing, not going to increase take up and when combined with the big question mark over last summers transfer policy and indeed January’s, current form, early bird just seems nonsensical, and making me not feel bothered about renewing. Indeed I’m contemplating taking a year off particularly as I now live further away, to see if the club under TS does sort itself out on and off the pitch.
Johnny Jackson just phoned to thank me for purchasing my ST in the AC Stand. Says he will be glad to see me there next season. I'll be there for sure. I live in hope but of course it's sometimes the hope that kills you. One more time with feeling.

That’snice of Jacko. I wonder how confident he is of being there to see you…..
Haven't renewed yet but I will. Prices of just about every commodity going up, and some increasing to astronomical levels, season ticket prices frozen for early birds, yet you get so many moaning because that isnt good enough!

The reality is for the hard core the price is not frozen. We bought at the early bird prices last year. The early bird this year are merely the post early bird price from last season.

Yeah, but my Gas provider doesn't give £1000s of units away for free to random people each week and then expect me to pay the same over priced charges as last year (or more) and expect me to be grateful.
You can't plead poverty and then give stock away continuously to random people.
The numbers will speak for themselves, ticket prices will definitely be lower than last year.

He phoned me as well. But before I could say anything he hung up. How rude.

He called me as well, I said I hope that I don’t see him next season.

Don’t think that’s correct. Was there an increase last summer? I thought not.

wont renew for next season as pointless

Doing the sensible thing by moving over to Block F from Block E saving £200 for our 2 Over 65s.
Now for the holiday balance.....
Bread & "pullit" for the rest of the year as my old Nan would say.
