An additional 1,400 tickets for Sunday's Sky Bet League One play-off final against Leyton Orient will go on sale at 2pm on Thursday afternoon.
The club’s initial allocation of 36,945 tickets sold out on Tuesday within 40 minutes of tickets going on sale to those on the club’s ticketing database, as of May 15th.When tickets go back on sale on Thursday, they will go back on sale at that same ticketing priority phase to give those that missed out the opportunity to purchase.
Any remaining tickets from that 1,400 will then go on general sale at 5pm on Thursday, although, given the demand, it is not expected that any tickets will be available at that time. The club are continuing to request further tickets for the game and will issue a further communication to fans should this request be facilitated.
So assuming the 1400 sell out at around 2.03pm tomorrow, will the club still let us queue at 5pm for no reason like they did today? The optimist in me hopes that around 4pm the club announces another 5-6k of tickets will be released at 5pm!
I'm aware I'm nitpicking here but 14:00 is a very annoying time for those stuck in work. Could get the kids to log on and race to gets some seats I suppose
For whatever reason, the whole momentum and maximisation of ticket sales has been limited. Both by not having a plan for when we sold out initially and the knock on that Orient couldn’t then put theirs on general sale. It’s crazy to think that a game between 2 league one teams that aren’t rivals could end up in a 90000 stadium without a single phase of general sale from either club,
1,400 tickets released tomorrow, Thurs, 22/05/25 at 2pm.
These 1,400 tickets likely to sell out very quickly. It will be luck of the draw as to
where you are randomly placed in the queue. It is a bit like a bloody
raffle.
Hopefully, if these are sold out very quickly, then that will provide evidence for club to advocate with Wembley & Wembley ticketing to see that more tickets are needed to meet the demand.
Hoping I bloody get some tickets tomorrow. Really hoping that all Charlton supporters get a chance to get to the match with more tickets released !!!
I do like it when we are demanding tickets.. I'd of done 2 tickets per person from the start. That way hopefully all those that should've got a ticket would've done. I've no doubt we could sell 45000 tickets. Does my head in on these 1 off games that people choose to attend that we expect clubs/Wembley to accommodate us. Same happened with Man u in the league Cup and the Doncaster semi final in 2019. For those that maybe unfortunate enough not to get a ticket there's always 46 games next season

I would guess that the FA are cautious, for fear of crowd trouble.

Its a nice thought, but any more released will likely be Friday, 23/05/.
Also, don’t do what I did, which is to wait in the queue for 25 minutes then get in only to find that you haven’t logged in and don’t know your password.
Orient have got approx 500 still not sold (plus approx 10,000 they've not put on sale).
That's a good effort from then. They may even get to 35k
I thought they would sell a maximum 30,000 and I still think that, if they sell approx 5,000 on General Sale.
They are not going to general sale.
They can go to General Sale as long as we do simultaneously. Wembley won't leave it with 62,000 sold and 25,000 approx empty seats.
I think they might…
Are Orient deliberately selling blocks near the halfway line to stop us having any more tickets?
From the Orient site:
Allocation
The O's have been allocated 36,945 seats in the East end of Wembley Stadium. Tickets will be sold on a block-by-block basis in an order determined by Wembley Stadium.
What a day , got in queue at 13:30, over 5000 in front, got into site trying to find 2 together and each pair I found became not available, then tried for 2 close together , same result then within seconds sold out. Kept refreshing and missing out, agreed with better half to just try for 1 , logged back in and got a pair with just one seat between. Up in the gods , 1 more row and would be outside the stadium but so relieved, feel for those still trying. Hopefully club will avoid general sale with extras until all registered are sorted.
Your day mirrored my own but now I know which git pipped me to those two tickets!
Was so quick clicking on themI didn't even know where they were I until I got the confirmation e mail. Hope you got some.
