Valley gold is heavily overrated. No it isn't . Charlton pride themselves on the Academy, and all the money goes to the Academy, bar the prizes , at £120 a year, it's good value, you feel the glow of supporting Charlton first team players in the future, and as a benefit you get priority ticketing, and as a bonus you get the chance of winning the odd cash prize. I understand that some people may stretch themselves, financialy, to purchace a season ticket, but Valley Gold is protecting the future of the club, and I personally feel that the balance on priority ticket sales is about correct.
To be clear when I say VG is overrated, I don't mean what it does itself, I mean purely for a loyalty system pov I think it is.
You could have one Charlton fan be a season ticket holder for 2 years and attend all 92 league games. Another could attend 62 with the season ticket for 2 years and take priority on away tickets if they have VG. That's 30 less away games attended, roughly £750 quids worth of tickets, not including all the expenses getting to those extra games etc. Which is going to easily exceed £1500.
It isn't an issue, but if it was, £240 over 2 years would potentially be trumping about £2000 potentially if a fan went to every away over 2 seasons.
You see these debates at all levels across football. No club will get it spot on.
But financially the Club doesn’t benefit from any of the money spent on away games whereas the Club and, ultimately through the academy system the first team, does and if the first team is successful so do we as fans.

Ultimately it’s a moot point, no one who attends all the away matches but hasn’t got VG will miss out. But if you start deprioritising VG eligibility then it may dissuade people from joining or retaining their membership with no actual upside.
But if it's a loyalty points scheme, the fan who goes all 92 would be the most loyal fan in that instance.

Not really moaning tbf, just saying I think the system could be better as it doesn't factor how much fans are actually spending to follow the club.
If I had it my way, fans would be getting priority who had Charlton tattoos and all sorts.
Anyway, got my tickets, great system today.
As previously mentioned. The bar set for Phase 1 / Phase 2 is not high.
1. A Season Ticket for 2 years. 2 Attend 7 away games this season and 7 last season.
You've got over 800 points and were never in danger of not getting a ticket.
For me the system is fair and every away game with a bit of demand the same old argument comes up.
Yet people who go regularly always get a ticket regardless if they're Valley Gold or not. Funny that.
Not to dig you out, but this seems like complaining for the sake of complaining.

If you’ve had a ST this year and last plus go to most aways then you will have 800+. I’ve got 860 but there will be a few people with 900+ that haven’t missed an away or cup game in the last 2 seasons

Just got 2 away tickets, for the first time I can remember in a seriously long time my 590 loyalty points exceeded Valley Gold qualification.
Somehow I managed to stay logged on to the ticket website since purchasing home tickets yesterday so didn't need to join a queue again today. Just used MS Edge browser and left the tab open. No issues here obtaining tickets for either leg apart from a short queue yesterday morning for home tickets.
I don't know how you managed that as you're not yet eligible, unless you have VG as well. I call offside.

We have a bloody queue jumper, I forsee a pile on about to occur. Stand back and cover your kid's eyes. 😉
Anyone know why it was a good idea to sell the showing of the away game down at The Valley same time the next phase of away start selling…could be a case of get a couple for that incase of missing out,then if ending up getting lucky with the away game tickets there could end up being spares for that going after tomorrow too…where as the Valley showing tickets could have been done once aways had gone…

Heard this on here a few times and every time I read it, I think of Katrien Meire and the fact she called us customers not fans. Same difference imo. Plus do you place no monetary value on the away points we undoubtedly win in part due to the away fans cheering on as 12th man.

That’s great, but you wouldn’t have got 800 points from attending just 7 away games in each of the last two seasons, with your ST, which is what was suggested. It would be 600 at most.

Yet people who go regularly always get a ticket regardless if they're Valley Gold or not. Funny that.
Not to dig you out, but this seems like complaining for the sake of complaining.
800 points !!?? How ?
If you’ve had a ST this year and last plus go to most aways then you will have 800+. I’ve got 860 but there will be a few people with 900+ that haven’t missed an away or cup game in the last 2 seasons
The maximum points total is probably 1010 points, a season ticket for the last 2 years & attended every league & cup game, that's my total points so far & i won't be the only person who has done that. I'm also a Valley Gold member.
Valley gold is heavily overrated. No it isn't . Charlton pride themselves on the Academy, and all the money goes to the Academy, bar the prizes , at £120 a year, it's good value, you feel the glow of supporting Charlton first team players in the future, and as a benefit you get priority ticketing, and as a bonus you get the chance of winning the odd cash prize. I understand that some people may stretch themselves, financialy, to purchace a season ticket, but Valley Gold is protecting the future of the club, and I personally feel that the balance on priority ticket sales is about correct.
To be clear when I say VG is overrated, I don't mean what it does itself, I mean purely for a loyalty system pov I think it is.
You could have one Charlton fan be a season ticket holder for 2 years and attend all 92 league games. Another could attend 62 with the season ticket for 2 years and take priority on away tickets if they have VG. That's 30 less away games attended, roughly £750 quids worth of tickets, not including all the expenses getting to those extra games etc. Which is going to easily exceed £1500.
It isn't an issue, but if it was, £240 over 2 years would potentially be trumping about £2000 potentially if a fan went to every away over 2 seasons.
You see these debates at all levels across football. No club will get it spot on.
But that £2,000 spent on away games contributes nothing financially to Charlton.
Ultimately it’s a moot point, no one who attends all the away matches but hasn’t got VG will miss out. But if you start deprioritising VG eligibility then it may dissuade people from joining or retaining their membership with no actual upside.
But if it's a loyalty points scheme, the fan who goes all 92 would be the most loyal fan in that instance.

You could probably count on 2 hands the amount of Charlton fans that would apply to. I know you won’t stop moaning about the valley gold thing (and I have some sympathy on your point re: 2 ticket allowance) but you have got to let it lie at some point.
Not really moaning tbf, just saying I think the system could be better as it doesn't factor how much fans are actually spending to follow the club.
If I had it my way, fans would be getting priority who had Charlton tattoos and all sorts.
Anyway, got my tickets, great system today.
As previously mentioned. The bar set for Phase 1 / Phase 2 is not high.
1. A Season Ticket for 2 years. 2 Attend 7 away games this season and 7 last season.

But, again, the fan who goes to all 92 will always get a ticket. De-prioritise Valley Gold and you may dissuade people from joining which impacts funding for the Academy. Why would you do that, just on a point of principle?

But, did you see the Notts County game at home in ‘75?
I have seen that but can't see if you need to book them first. Maybe just turn up on the day?
There is a 70 seater bus that does 3 transfers before a match from the station - which is 2.5 miles from the stadium, that as you say, is in the middle of nowhere! Great, that's 210 supporters out of 10k sorted then!
I totally agree with the weight given to Valley Gold in terms of points/priority for ticket sales - it's not overvalued IMO.
However, I would like to see ST loyalty given more value/points, I've had a ST for 30+ consecutive seasons... but as I don't get to as many away games as I used to, I'm in phase 7(!) for the 1st leg so no chance of a ticket. My Dad has had a ST for 40+ seasons through thick and thin, inc. Selhurst Upton Park days, contributed to the Back to the Valley fund etc, but is also only in phase 7. Yet if I was a ST holder for the first time this season and signed up to Valley Gold, I'd straight away be way ahead of him on points.
It'd be nice to have a chunk of points given for every 5 or 10 years consecutive ST renewal, given that ST sales are the foundation of the clubs support in terms of commitment/funds. It would also encourage those who have had an ST for a few years to keep renewing, if they knew that their loyalty would be rewarded once they hit a certain milestone.

Apologies if already asked/answered, anyone know anywhere to park up to 20 mins walk from the ground?
There are plenty of side roads within a 15 min walk to the ground. Some are up a hill so not always the best if you struggle with mobility.
The match we played there are the start of one season (when Sandgaard walked over to the fans before kick off) I used JustPark as there are a few residents around there hiring their drives out for the afternoon. Paid £6 for less than a 10 min walk.

I call offside.
We have a bloody queue jumper, I forsee a pile on about to occur. Stand back and cover your kid's eyes. 😉
Heard this on here a few times and every time I read it, I think of Katrien Meire and the fact she called us customers not fans. Same difference imo.
Plus do you place no monetary value on the away points we undoubtedly win in part due to the away fans cheering on as 12th man.
My laptop has exploded with this name, I have inboxed you my details for a new one.
I'm also a Valley Gold member.
