So still 6/7k to sell, can’t see it selling out, sadly,
Looking on the ticketing site earlier there was a single seat left in the whole covered end. There was around 20 on total over the two corners and every block north of the half way line seemed to have fewer than 20 tickets per block available.
Based on that I think we'll be fairly close to a sell out with nearly two weeks to the game. I reckon 24k+ and reasonable chance of a sell out, or very close to it.

No chance of a sell out & I'd be amazed if we sold 24,000.

Yes, but no one is buying any tickets in the blocks next to the filthy feckers

Not a dig at Millwall but a reflection of how quickly something can change for us.
Millwall’s ground capacity is 20,146, their average home attendance looks like it was 15,490 last season. Early days but by getting promoted we are already getting gates 6k higher than that average and 2k more than their ground holds.

The Club only opened the end block (H) of the West next to the Jimmy Seed on the 28th so that more fans can use the lower Zone 3 pricing after the Covered End sold out.
Suspect we’ll get to about 23k for this one…it’s the hope that keeps dragging you back in 😬😂

Hope. But Let’s see what’s happening if we’re in a mid winter relegation scrap
This will land on about 21k - 22k. The previous home games also had big marketing pushes on how weve hit over 20k only for the final attendance to be slightly more than that.
Plenty of tickets left in the blocks next to Millwall fans! Club can market these as day out at the zoo to see animals from south london an opportunity to see close up a rare sighting of aging bushwacker & F troop apes from New Cross.... Imagine crowd will be 22-24K?
The only drag is that having been on the receiving end of violence from Millwall fans in the past (the only other time was ironically Luton fans) I will avoid the train and seek a different journey to and from the Valley. The attendance number isn’t an issue for me, the only issue is trying to get a point or three from the match.

The block was always open, it’s just been made cheaper

Sorry to hear this. Can I ask you how long ago that was? Can only say our away crowds are nothing like they was 10 or 20 years ago. I’d be very surprised if there was any trouble around this fixture in a couple of weeks. Of course both clubs still have a ‘risk’ group, and I think they’ve had a few clashes over the years (and I recall some straight going Millwall fans got attacked by some Charlton in a pub at London Bridge a few years back, resulting in prison sentences for the Charlton fans so it can work both ways). But by and large this isn’t a fixtures that gets the hooligan element excited. They’re still about. But very much in the minority these days. And they rarely cause trouble in or around the ground. When it does happen it’s usually miles from the ground and with like minded individuals. I’ve said on here before, I can’t remember the last time I saw trouble in or in the vicinity of the ground at any of our away games and we more often than not will mingle with opposition fans.
On a long car journey last week so had a look at tickets left on sale (yes my life is very dull) and it was under 5k with all blocks open so was surprised to see the 20k mark only hit yesterday. Is a sell out no longer 27k or is the 20k sold missing 1000+ through friends family and freebies?

How did you calculate there were under 5k on sale?
There’s no way we would be “advertising” 20k sold if it was 22k sold.
I remember going to the Den in early 80's to see Charlton in a "friendly" and standing in home end by F Troop with there surgical masks. When i lived in New Cross I drove as you could park in the car park behind the away end in old Den. For this season's Away fixture i'll go via train and do the long wait and be kettled down the tunnel onto the station platform rather than walk out of the ground into New Cross. I saw Millwall back in the day up to no good attacking fans at London Bridge, I don't antiscapte trouble on Sept 14th but will be driving to avoid Charlton station and Floyd rd
If anyone has two tickets in the North West block they would open to selling / swapping for two of my mates who were too slow to pull the trigger there's a couple of pints in it!

Literally just by counting them. Although a rough estimate for the most part as the blocks towards the away ends are where the majority of the unsold are and remain largely unsold so could just do number of rows x seats in a row.

I remember after one game at The Den (a boring 0-0) when we got let out at the same time and I avoided getting a punch by about an inch. @Mike legged it and was about halfway to Surrey Quays before he remembered about me!

There were some very ugly scenes at the station after our pre-season "friendly" a couple years back. The worst I've ever seen actually. Both sides involved of course.
So I can understand people's nervousness to travel on crowded routes.

I just did a rough count up. Curbishley Stand holds 6,000 and I estimate 4,000 left.

Fair enough. I missed that. Shame. I don’t thinks it’s that sort of derby.

Ah well at least everyone will be rested ahead of the game.

West Stand holds 8,000 & I estimate 3,000 left.
So looks like 20,000 sold.
