Apart from when you're actually in Spain and it doesn't work. I always visit Luxembourg

Sorry for dragging up an old thread but I have a question.......

Not wanting to miss out on what could be our biggest match since Wembley I signed up to a VPN last night so I can watch Charlton TV on Sat afternoon.

It says I'm in Oslo. Is this ok to pay Charlton TV & watch the game from my sofa (which is not in Oslo) or do I need to be in a non-EU country that doesn't have this silly banning order.

Sorry for my ignorance......

You need to check which countries have a broadcast deal with the EFL, as you won't be able to use those, and nearer servers should mean less lag. As others have said, Belgium's usually a good bet from what I remember of previous threads about this.

Germany is another good one. A lot depends on whether or not anyone in a given country has bought the international rights. The Germans, for some unaccountable reason didn't think many would watch dross like Charlton v Preston on a Saturday lunchtime. However Norway may well be problematic as the Scandis have always had a taste for English footie, and Viaplay which operates in all three Scandi countries has bought the rights, and the multiple channels to use them on.

Yes, I always watch Charlton from Frankfurt. Thankfully I don't have to physically be any where near what I consider to be a shithole of a city, especially the area around the main train station. For balance, many other big German cities are wonderful.

I also go to Belgium to watch games. I've never had a problem.

Generally any place abroad is fine but I think if a specific game is earmarked then there can be restrictions even abroad. Italy and Belgium are usually safe bets whatever.

Well, as expected it doesn't work.

Using Opera & based in Brussels.

Says "no packages available in your country". 

Any idea what I'm doing wrong

That could be the club rather than you. Sometimes the passes go up quite late

Maybe restart your device, and turn on your VPN before you go to the Charlton website

I just flew to the United States, and could see the option to buy the Stream

Also logout of Charlton site and clear cookies. This will log you out of other sites too

If you don't want that try private/ incognito mode with the VPN on to buy, and then switch back to normal mode with the VPN on.

If not working with Opera VPN , it's not a traditional VPN, try the free proton VPN ( other free ones are available) that also worked for me as long as I had logged out and cleared cookies if I had been browsing to Charlton website without a VPN.

many thanks all

will try again later / tomorrow

I just logged in to my Charlton TV a/c on Opera and the Sheff W game is there to purchase.
Log in to your Charlton a/c (not your Charlton buy ticket a/c which is a different log in).
Click on Charlton TV.
Click on live.
Click on purchase pass.
It should be showing to buy.

Password is automatic & no idea what it is. I'm not going round changing passwords on the off chance it will work. 

I'll speak to my other son (Golfie Jnr is up north & going to the game tomorrow) and see what he can do.

Based on what people said on here, I changed my vpn from France to Belgium. l logged in on Opera and paid with no problems yesterday lunchtime, so it should work for you.  Good luck!
