Absolutely. I would imagine our lot are probably doing all they can, but other than "can we have more tickets please?" I'm not really sure what else they can do as its ultimately not their decision. That's presumably down to Wembley, the EFL and possibly some input from Orient.Sheepie1985 said:

Charlton can't exactly put out a tweet saying, "We asked for another 10,000 tickets three days ago but those ***s at the EFL are dragging their heels".9 -

Could you imagine if roles were reversed and some of our fans planned to buy on Friday only for the allocation to be reduced and they missed out.
It does not make sense, if sales are slowing then the sooner we get the allocation the less stressful for everyone, particularly as the guy who alluded to the admin required...
Madness. But then we are only football fans....
I have a purchase history from being a (lapsed) season ticket holder and was lucky enough to get a ticket when that window opened.
Some people I know with similar circumstances weren’t as lucky.
I just think being able to get 3 additional tickets for people without history is not fair when others with more Charlton connection miss out.It's impossible to know how many ST and VG holders bought in the way you state though.Plenty would have used there allocation of 4 to buy tickets for those with purchase history.
Obviously it's disappointing when any Charlton fan cannot get a ticket for a big game, but it doesn't help throwing around theories that ST and VG used there extra three tickets for randoms/non purchase history etc.7 -

I think they could say we’ve asked for x though and will know by y and what it is subject to.0 -
I expect you'll hear tomorrow afternoon once they've gone off sale for Leyton Orient completely0

You are overestimating the general publics ability to read things properly. If the club did that there would be plenty of people who say “The club have said they’ll be given x number at y time”valleynick66 said:

Quite a few spares on the spares thread keep popping up if u only want one & don’t mind where you sit in the Charlton end of course…😉Powell2ThePeople said:
I don’t have a ticket (distraught doesn’t get close to describing how I feel 😩 - attending for over 50 years, former season ticket holder, just not able to get to many these days).Chrispy51 said:
My frustration is that I have probably been to enough games over the past 2 seasons to have the loyalty points to have bought in the earlier batch, but given the ease of getting tickets previoulsy I have often bought on the gate when making a last minute decision on an evening game, or had tickets bought by who I occasionally go with and not linked the accounts. Therefore I have a lot of "missing" loyalty points because I bought without my fan ID.paulbaconsarnie said:

If I miss out today and more tickets dont become available I will be very frustrated and may change my view, but I also feel that fans with the huge loyalty point totals and fans with season tickets who go to every home game have earned the right to bring friends/family along for the big day out. I could potentially argue that it should be 2 tickets per fan ID / season ticket etc. (as this would have allowed me to get tickets by now!) but I can see the rationale to get the tickets sold as soon as possible, hopefully filling the stadiumI’ve also been to games that I didn’t purchase on my account, and have paid for a CharltonTV subscription for the last 5 years or so (just after I moved to Luxembourg…😉).However, the not buying tickets on my account is a lesson learnt.Appears I have 1 final crack at getting one today, but not holding my breath as I can only use levels 1 & 2.
As disappointed as I am, I am delighted for everyone who managed to secure a seat.Without getting too complacent, it should be a hell of a day!COYA!!0 -
If we get given 5-7,000 more tickets then would our lot actually be able to distribute them in time for kick off! I've bought three batches of tickets, starting Saturday and not had any through yet (as I know many others haven't).2

If they were print at home then absolutely. When I buy Charlton tickets tickets are sent by email instantly.0 -
But it’s clearly not the case with Wembley, as I still haven’t got everything I bought on Saturday. I’ve got the majority and I’m not worried about the delay - I do think it shows there is a different process here.vff said:Athletico Charlton said:If we get given 5-7,000 more tickets then would our lot actually be able to distribute them in time for kick off!

You are correct if it's the same 15,000 that turn up for every game.letthegoodtimesroll said:

I can't prove it, but I'd say it isn't.5 -

Sure, many have grumbled about it on CL already about why there is a delay. That makes it all the more infuriating, frustrating that any more than 1,400 tickets have not been announced yet. Particularly if the process is going to delay releasing of the seats. Wembley want to make more income right ?

Same here. Joined before the event with plenty of time and received a random place in the queue. I am currently number 2709 with 2225 people ahead of me.
So unless the EFL pull their finger out, pronto, myself and many other Charlton Red Card Holders (and previous ST holders) will not be able to go on Sunday.
Boo-hiss.0 -
