This is an odd case though D, and something that should have been sorted out previously. In normal circumstances Eric wouldn’t have been “usurped” at all and neither would most who have been regular away travellers.AFKABartram said:

Sorry you’ve missed out Eric, particularly as it seems there’s a bug with your account. On a wider point, sadly with these smaller allocations and bigger demand we’ll see increasing numbers of previous away travellers being usurped by Valley Gold :-(Also a bit hacked off with those who keep knocking VG. I’ve been a season ticket holder since Selhurst days, including the 10 year (when there was no guarantee we’d be around) and VG since the start. Priority ranking was always one of the benefits for supporting the club in this way. It’s been a long term commitment, but I suspect the club have to weigh up the potential loss of backers should that priority be removed.
Anyway…hopefully won’t be an issue with the bigger allocation at most grounds in the Championship. Although I dread to think of the carnage on here when we’re discussing Bournemouth & Brentford allocations the season after!!! 😉4 -
If you still have ticket stubs and proof they were bought by you/for you, is it worth visiting the ticket office in person to see if they can add the points to your account?Eric10 said:
I don't have all the points I should have due to a bug with my account. A while back I only had 10 and wasn't acquiring points. This has now been rectified and I can acquire points, but I only have the points from my season ticket this season and the last three away games (260 points) as they only fixed my account recently.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Where were all of the 1000+ Charlton fans attending this one at Bolton and Burton away this season?
By my calculations, I should have 575 points:
Every home game from Cheltenham Town last season
Season ticket this season
Four away games last season
7 cup games this season (minus one as I was sat with the Southend fans)
17 away league games this season (minus one as I was sat with the Orient fans)
That should have made me eligible for phase 6 and would have allowed me to just about get a ticket. However, I had to wait for phase 9 and these tickets didn't even reach phase 7.1 -

It's not a competition you know. I havn't been to an away game all season but during the seven seasons in the PL I missed one, for example. One day you will stop going too.1 -

But that example would be 13 games over two seasons - hardly a lot, even I’ve probably managed that 😉AFKABartram said:
It’s true though, setting the Valley Gold value at 600 points for this game it meant a non-Season Ticket holder who hasn’t been a single game home or away in two seasons, had priority to buy two tickets for this limited allocation game over someone who has had a season ticket for two seasons and attended in addition 13 away games.letthegoodtimesroll said:

The problem i see with the VG priority system is that VG has been going over 30 years with the price not rising whereas the cost of a season ticket has probably risen by at least 75%.[ I am a Valley Gold member].TelMc32 said:

A solution to the problem when there is a small away allocation might be give a VG member 150 Loyalty points a season & if we are to get promoted reintroduce the' Away Season Ticket ' for the people who intend to attend all or nearly every away game similar to the scheme ran by our friends from SE16, see belowTo be able to purchase an Away Season Ticket, you will also need to be a Home Season Ticket Holder. A registration fee of £25 will apply.
As an Away Season Ticket Holder you will benefit from:Every away League and Cup ticket guaranteed (booking fees apply)
No hassle with making payments, simply register your details and we'll process the payment and send your ticket so you're ready for the next big match

You dont need to justify the games you have been to mate, that was a silly comment by me however my point is dont dig fans out for no reason trying to justify why you should get a ticket and they shouldn't. You need to keep on at the club to sort it, keep pestering them till they sort it. If you dont your gonna have the same problem when we play Wrexham and possibly playoffs.Eric10 said:
From 1999/2000 to 2022/2023 I missed a grand total of one home game, one away league game and two away league cup games. The only games I didn't really bother going to were away games in the FLT. This is all with a three hour journey to The Valley.Nicholas said:

Unfortunately, I had to end over ten years without missing a single men's first team game at The Valley for a family emergency that saw me miss half the season.
None of that counts for anything as only the current and previous season count towards loyalty points.2 -
Don't think anyone is knocking VG itself or that there should be some priority for getting away tickets but for me it feels embarrassing VG trumps my 560 loyalty points in order for me to qualify for tickets.TelMc32 said:

I've always felt VG should come in just above the 460 points level enough to supplement having a season ticket and maybe a handful of aways, somewhere around the 500 points mark would always feel about right to me. It should never be a 100% guarantee or you may as well just re-brand it as an away tickets membership scheme.3 -

If a season ticket is worth 230 points a season, VG should be worth less than that, as i suggested earlier 150 points a season for fully paid up members.MartinCAFC said:

That is because it is sold out.4 -

Without pre-empting Eric's answer it does seem to me that there is no time between the announcement of tickets going on sale and them actually going on sale. If you were away for a couple of days and not going online you could easily miss out even if eligible.
Some of us, even those who travel to away games regularly fail to see these announcements until clive puts them up on here.
SO many needless emails sent out by the club re season tickets etc to those who are already have them yet NO notification directly regarding the imminent sale of away match tickets !
Surely the already addickted should be the first to know about these dates especially when sales are on a points priority basis !
Is there any wonder that loyal fans miss out time after time?
I'm totally in favour of someone pushing the right buttons !

It looks as though Cambridge are not maximising their revenue as a football club with a stadium that holds about 8k people. They have reallocated the old south stand, which held 1,500 away fans to be a family stand for home fans and now have a maximum away capacity of 1036. This, on the basis of £20 a ticket, is probably costing them £9500 per game before food and drink sales. They will recoup some of that with away fans buying in the home end, but with their performance this season, are unlikely to sell out their home seats. Being in the relegation slots they should try and maximise revenue.
As someone who lives 14 miles from the abbey stadium and who cant get a ticket in the away end, it saddens me to watch local teams shoot themselves in the foot.3 -

I would agree with a previous poster though that it's ridiculous how short the notice is when tickets go on sale. There's no reason why the ticket sale can't be announced a couple of days before the process starts, rather than on the same day.3 -

Can’t see the request for more being successful0

I do think the tickets are always a bit short notice, there should be an announcement that they're going to be relased, that way people who genuinely 'deserve' them have enough adequate time to buy theirs.
No complaints with the points system for me, Valley Gold really helps the club, I am of the view there should be a high points system first, then valley gold and a 2nd tier of points, and then the points without, but it's never going to be perfect.
For context I have 810 points, yet the first wave was Valley Gold and 640 points. Seems a bit imbalanced that over 170 points more (which is approx 400+ quid if you use away tickets as measurements) is outweighed by Valley Gold.
Luckily I don't have to worry about that too much yet, and when we do I'll probably just sign up to Valley Gold.
Again though, no system is perfect and I can see why they do the incentive.0 -
I also do think for games that are going to be obvious sell outs like Wrexham, Leyton Orient, Cambridge etc, should be 1 per person for at least 3 of the phases unless the +1 is a child, helper or is of some necessity.
Me buying a ticket for one of my cousins for instance who have been avoiding long away days this season is taking the mick a bit.
I of course will though if they want one as they're family and have no chance otherwise.
I would like them to look into that as at a fair few aways I've seen people who don't appear to be Charlton fans based on their interactions, and I'm a proper noise snob and want every Charlton fan making a bit of racket.6 -
Not sure anyone bemoans you buying a ticket for your cousin in the current system.

Someone with say 600 points can buy 2 tickets and take Someone with him who has no points.
Someone like me with 550 points then misses out.
Don't seem right.4 -

I agree with the premise of this but what about people who always go in a group of 2+ and have someone who buys the tickets. For instance, I always go with my old man who usually gets the tickets and I pay for the travel. If this became a thing I'd miss out even though I attend a lot of games.Braziliance said:I also do think for games that are going to be obvious sell outs like Wrexham, Leyton Orient, Cambridge etc, should be 1 per person for at least 3 of the phases unless the +1 is a child, helper or is of some necessity.

I don't go to as many games as I'd like these days for various reasons. I'll admit I signed up to Valley Gold largely because of the benefit of getting higher priority for games where there are fewer tickets or higher demand. Ultimately there's never going to be an ideal way of doing it as long as there are more people who want to go than there are tickets I guess0

Must be a workaround so that you can buy a set number (4?) if everyone has the requisite amount of points. The issue now is that you could buy a ticket for someone without the right amount of points.ButtleJR said:
