How many tickets is that? 6,000? 7,000?
Be a shambles if they are left unsold.
Not sure we would get them all - Orient would want to be able to put some on General Sale as well I would guess. Even half would do.6 -

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.
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 stadium
Family stands should be for young kids too, not 15/16/17 year olds who are probably having a pint before the match 😆
If you were to do this you'd need to make it really clear and telegraph it 2 years in advance. So that people can set up accounts and build purchase history's for those people. There should also be a reminder with every purchase of multiple tickets to assign them to the right people or risk them not being able to attend big games.
I'm just not sure we are at the point of needing to restict sales like that (yet!).
If you don't allocate the tickets to someone how on earth are the club to know?6 -

In 2019, I spent the entirety of half time walking around the level 1 concourse from the half way line under the royal box, passed the screen end to family that were around.d opposite bend... then back again. It was lively.4 -

Awful management from Wembley with literally thousands of unsold seats with less than 48 hours to go, when the demand is, and always has been, there.
Really poor from Charlton as well, lack of comms is helping no one. Its not in theor hands but even another 'we're continuing to do all we can to request additional tickets' message keeps up the pressure on the powers that be.12 -
Surely the club can only communicate if there is something to communicate?
Or are people suggesting the club should issue a daily update that there is no update?14 -

You mean, like this?
Given the exceptionally high demand, the club are continuing to request more tickets for the game and will issue a further communication to fans should this request be facilitated.

PragueAddick said:If you want to put pressure on the clowns at the EFL and Wembley to release more tickets, the best way is to go on Twitter and retweet this one from the Charlton Life Twitter account which has 7k followers. You could add a tag to Matt Slater at The Athletic (@mjshrimper) who is a Southend fan and has followed our recent dark days. Or Henry Winter (@henrywinter)

This sort of thing does work, but it needs people to retweet. Doesn't take long.0 -

Had we been given 5-10,000 extra seats 2 days ago I am certain we would have sold them all.
It is so late now some of the day trippers will have made other plans and people who wanted 2,3,4 tickets will have accepted one on a resale and not bring their mates/partners so I am not so sure.
Either way, I hope we get them so that those still looking manage to come along.5 -

The Club are not likely to publicise the details of ongoing discussions with Wembley, EFL, Orient and/or the Police unless and until there is an outcome - whether that be extra tickets or no extra tickets.9 -
Hopefully those in the suits can cut some kind of deal to give a bit more ticket proceeds to the greedy wembley suits and we all win.0

Is that 48 hours of no sales now?
Crazy when there is plenty of demand and plenty of seats left unsold.
Am so sorry for anybody who is sweating on tickets. Hope we get more v soon.4 -
