CAFC Match Ticket Offers

If, like me, you are not renewing but plan to pick and choose games to attend then I think there will be plenty of offers throughout the season and it makes sense to attend these games so as to a) save some money but more importantly b) deny the regime as much income as possible. Hopefully too CARD will target these games where there will be a greater attendance.

It seems to have slipped under the radar that there is already an offer available for the opening two league games. Season ticket holders can purchase up to two tickets for both games at a flat rate £10 for adults. That means that a seat in the middle blocks of the East Stand that should be £26 are just £10. So not just saving yourself £16 but, if you were going anyway, denying the regime £16. It makes sense if you are only going occasionally to target games where there are offers available. So, if you are going, get a season ticket holder to buy your tickets and help but a dent in the regimes income.

    This would be a great thing to blast all over social media as both good content and a way to "grow their database."

    I don't think they usually advertise this kind of offer online, Season tickets holders had an email though,

    "BUY TWO EXTRA TICKETS FOR OUR OPENING TWO HOME LEAGUE GAMES FOR JUST £10 EACH

    As a valued season ticket holder for the 2016/17 campaign, you can purchase an additional two tickets for just £10 each for both of our opening two home league fixtures.

    So why not invite a couple of family members or friends to join you at The Valley for the matches against Northampton Town and Shrewsbury Town on Saturday, August 13th and Tuesday, August 16th respectively?

    Thanks Rob7Lee

    It's not clear whether that means that the ST holder has to buy 4tix for 40 quid (2x2 games), or whether they can just buy one for a tenner.

    Anybody know?

    So you're boycotting, but now you want season ticket holders to buy you cheap seats!

    Jeez, you couldn't make it up!

    Yet when I try to get a ticket for my missus to the Shrewsbury game its coming up £23 despite me having a season ticket?

    Do I have to get a ticket for both Northampton AND Shrewsbury?

    If anyone ever has spare allocations I'd be keen to pay £30 for a couple of seats, the extra cash can either go in your pocket or the CARD fund

    He's not boycotting though is he Al he's still going to attend matches but is promoting the lesser of two evils. Nothing wrong with that in my book.

    Yes, I understand that, but my point is that many of the protesters who have 'dug out' other fans for buying a season ticket are now happy for those same fans that have taken grief on here to buy them cheap tickets!

    Hang on I don't think he's suggesting approaching random ST holders is he? How does that work? Surely you would ask friends or family who respect your stance and if they tell you to poke it they're not good friends are they. Remember we still have one thing in common,we're all Charlton fans at the end of the day.!

    Am away for Northampton so I'd be buying at ticket for £10 for that game and £10 for the Shrewsbury game as even seeing just the one match I'd save £3

    If you have to buy for both games then you could sell me the Nothampton one - that way I would be giving you the money and not the club! - sort of.

    Make what up? If the club are that desperate already to do special deals for the first two home games of the season then good luck to anyone who wants to take advantage of it.

    For myself who decided not to purchase a season ticket for the first time in over 25 years, this is the sort offer I would take up, along with any freebies going around.

    No merchandise, no food and drink, no valley gold, no programme, no season ticket. Just pop along when I'm not working, buy the cheapest option available and make as much noise as possible.

    So.... Back to my question

    Can you just buy one at a tenner?
    Or you need to buy 4?

    Wording is unclear

    The cost that you would be out of pocket for not using that ticket.

    I suppose I could but you a beer at bury if you're going as well. I seem to be buying everybody else one anyway.

    There is always the possibility that boycotters might take advantage of the non-transferable season tickets of friends who cannot attend particular games. I wish to make clear that this is not something I would advocate because it is against the rules. Having just checked though I note season ticket holders can exchange it for a paper ticket prior to the game if they wish to give it to someone they know - although for the life of me why would you bother?

    Exactly my thoughts. Last season, the 3 home games I attended (Burnley, Brighton & Boro) were all games where I used somebody else's ticket. I wouldn't give the wankers that run our club the drippings of my nose. I flatly refuse to hand over directly a penny of my money.

    I'll get my fix at away games. Other clubs will get my money - well done Roly and the witch, because of your behaviour, other clubs will be gaining money at the expense of Charlton. I for one will attend more away games than I would during a "normal" season (as in one where I go to each home game).

    I know. I guess what I mean is that the only circumstances I see myself going to a home game is when I get the offer of a season ticket not being used. Foreign fields for me this season.
