My take on it is this (and will get highly criticised for it).
You can't really complain that you couldn't get a ticket when we had over 7000. You can't be that much of a supporter if it went on general sale & you still couldn't get one. I don't expect everyone to be a ST holder, but thems the breaks if you decide you dont want to pay up front & then when we draw a big club want to be at the front of the queue for a ticket. The points system even takes into account if you've bought home & away tickets on a match by match basis, over a 2 year period. You would only need to go to 10-15 matches over that time to be in the last tranche. Why should you only go to a few games a season but think you should get a ticket for Man U.
You takes your chances.
It's a bit similar to the moaning from people who couldn't get away tickets for local games like Millwall and Wimbledon, when they hadn't been to any other away games, and thus didn't have enough points.
Just about got my ticket post 2pm after pressing F5 a million times. I think any method used will always get some critique given the demand but I had to wait till general sale, i'd had a season ticket for 23 years, and only stoppd in 2021 due to my father's ill health and growing family commitments. But I was happy to wait, I do feel like a lapsed supporter so just kept my fingers crossed!

Similar situation myself. My dad has also been Ill for the last 3 to 4 years. I ain't moaning about not getting a ticket cos even if I had the points (have about 40) I wouldn't be able to get to Manchester. Had a season ticket for over 20 years, though admitingly it was from the early 90s onwards. This season I've been to 3 games same as last season. Watched a number of matches via Charlton TV.

Small tweaks I would've made, they could've merged some of the earlier priority groups together and added an extra group (50 points?) as one last opportunity for folks who had only got to a handful of games, before going to general sale.
Otherwise, I think overall, the club employees have done a decent job managing this in the obviously difficult circumstances.

Minded to agree but let’s get our hands on the tickets first!
Do we know if the club have received the tickets from Manchester United and actually posted any out yet ?
I’ve asked a couple of times on here already with no reply so I presume nobody knows . If they haven’t started sending them out already for people who can’t get to The Valley before hand , I think there could be big problems.

I'm surprised that they are paper tickets. Nearly everything these days is sent by email.

cracking atmosphere that night but it didn’t end well and the journey home was a painful one

I don't begrudge those who got tickets.

Any chance of a lift?
