The remaining tickets sold out in 6 minutes to season ticket holders this morning. 3,000 allocation and apparently we won't be getting anymore. If we did I'm sure we would shift quite a few more.
Just got to hope that the result and performance will be better than last season.

Re: Charlton Away
It's unbelievable the volume of tickets shifting in such a very short time frame, surely Charlton can rake in a few more quid by releasing more? They cannot be selling all their quota of home tickets so why not make more available? or is this down to policing/safety factors etc?
At least the boys are getting a good crowd backing them and it should be a great game.

Re: Charlton Away
I think it is to do with police/safety factors. Got my ticket yesterday and decided to go on the coach for this game as not sure about the railways with the current situation. Apparently all the coaches are sold out now but the club are trying to source more.Dazzz67 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 11:30 amIt's unbelievable the volume of tickets shifting in such a very short time frame, surely Charlton can rake in a few more quid by releasing more?

We took 7,000 to MK Dons last season if we are still challenging for automatic promotion when we play them at the end of February they might as well give us the whole stadium this time!

Re: Charlton Away
Looks like they’re trying to keep Town fans out then, as I’m sure we nearly always took 4K + …. Certainly did when I last went.Shed on tour wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 10:47 amThe remaining tickets sold out in 6 minutes to season ticket holders this morning. 3,000 allocation and apparently we won't be getting anymore.

Re: Charlton Away
Thats fair enough if its down to safety/policing, I always thought if there was extra revenue for the sale of extra tickets then this would go towards paying for extra security. So what happens (for example), Charlton draw Man City in the F.A. Cup at home, do Man City still only get 3,000 away tickets?

Re: Charlton Away
Lol, what do you reckon? I doubt it. But the police always seem to play the crowd marshalling / safety card don’t they. So maybe they too would be limited to that. Maybe it’s down to clubs being prepared to pay the policing bill for lasagne away following. Doesn’t seem to be an issue at MKDons does it..

Wouldn’t the home fans sell out the remaining seats in that scenario though.Dazzz67 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 1:25 pmThats fair enough if its down to safety/policing, I always thought if there was extra revenue for the sale of extra tickets then this would go towards paying for extra security.
