Ipswich surely have to increase the allocation again - game is a few weeks away, but we have already nearly sold out increased allocation
Depends if the club told them wouldn’t want any more than that. I don’t think it’s helpful that the club isn’t clear about whether allocations are final in the initial messaging. Sometimes there is uncertainty but I get the impression it’s an internal comms problem. I did set the coach times (at the club’s request) and told them then it would be a popular game. Mind you, I’m going (by train) and I have no idea why…

According to the internet, the away end can accommodate 3,000 - if Charlton did say to ITFC that we only need 1,500 or so, then that’s nuts - we may be having a poor season, but it’s only 1 hour to Ipswich from London - an easy trip for Charlton fans by train or road - we could easily take over 2,000, and if we were challenging at the top of the division we would sell it out
I’m going by train as well - £10 each way - a bargain !!
Got my tickets today for my Grandson and I. We just want to see this season over!. I have always tried to make the Ipswich game and one great memory was the Leaburn hat-trick.
Seriously confused about the popularity of this one.
We've usually taken a decent following to Ipswich in my experience. It's one of the livelier aways, a bit like Southampton, so I guess that's part of the appeal. The early kick off put me off this one tbh. I'm too old for it now ha!
I'm pleasantly very surprised by this turn-out, it's close to London but the trains aren't cheap.
Conversely I thought we'd have more at Cambridge as it's only an 80 minute car trip after work.
£13 the train with a railcard
Nice. I hadn't even looked to be honest as I'm only going to Cambridge. I just saw some £40 figures flying around a Whatsapp group, God knows what they've booked then.

Advance tickets were £13 and a ticket on the day are £40.00. Imagine the first train after the game will be so rammed you could probably book any cheap one and get on that as I imagine some people who booked later will do.

Nobody will be coming home straight after the game surely, as it's a 12:30 kickoff giving plenty of time to stay around for a beer or a wander.

I didn’t realise how quick it was by train from London, as have always gone there by coach.
Would have been up for this had I not made other plans.
I know full well that 2-3 weeks into the post season I’ll be missing live football desperately, no matter how awful it is!

The 40 quid tickets were before the cheap fares came in.

If anything the crowded trains will be going up.

My first visit was in 1981when we played the classic Bobby Robson Ipswich team and I particularly remember a 4-4 draw over Xmas one year.
Looking forward to it.
