So, basically, the club is saying there are nearly 5,000 tickets still available ?
Correct. But to me it's not really a huge surprise with restrictions on sales.
It seems surprising to me when you look at that stadium map and each block in turn to to see how many seats are still shown in red because it looks like there is only half that amount at most still available, if not less because there are blocks with around 20 seats or less
Tube strikes all week and that'll cause issues Saturday, my train is already taking 2 hours instead of 90 mins due to engineering on the theamslink. Very much considering cancelling my tickets tbh, not worth the hassle.
That’s dedication for you ….
No, it's mental health issues. I also know that, that 2 hours will more than likely be 3 hours on the way home.
Then perhaps you should have mentioned that in your post .

Ffs, are you on a wind up?
Always a fair question TBF but not in this case. 22k tickets sold implies nearly 5k still available and, as I posted, looking at the map of red seats it doesn’t look, to me, to be any where near that number left. I obviously haven’t counted the ones in red but for 5k to still be available you’d probably need a lot more blocks other than the few nearest the away end to still have a lot more red seats showing.
The only other explanation that comes to mind is the use of the operative word ‘sold’ in the announcement of 22k tickets sold. Hopefully that doesn’t imply that somebody thought it was a good idea to pump out comp tickets for this particular match
Disappointing to see half of block D in the Curbs stand is unsold. Quarter unsold in E, although I note that's thinned out somewhat since yesterday. Some of the best seats in the house on the halfway line. £40 + booking fee.
Plenty available in the rear of the West Upper, decent seats but at £40, they'll struggle.
100 or so souls are keen to sit as near to the away end as possible in the Curbs. But take those sales out of the equation the blocks nearest the away end - 2 blocks in the Curbs, 1 in the West Lower, 2 in the West Upper - almost 100% availability.
(I'm not taking on @letthegoodtimesroll btw - that's just my take on seat availability)

Blocks nearest the away support would sell out first in the reverse fixture at the Den! Two very different football cultures, three miles apart.

I think you'll find a decent portion of these 100 people are Millwall fans.

Would have thought so - no reason to buy there otherwise?!

Obviously, which adds weight to his point.
Not really. He’s saying they would want to be near their own support, which would be the case for lost clubs. Unless I’ve got that wrong?

Bloody bus strike! Means I have to cycle the first part of my journey on Saturday - about three miles, so not too bad. My Millwall mate will be with me in the west stand, no doubt along with loads of other away fans. And if all is well, I'll will be sitting alongside him in their home end when we go to the Den.

I thought he meant that when Millwall come to Charlton our fans get as far away from them as possible, but when we go there, Millwall fans want to get up close to the away fans, hence ‘very different football cultures’.

The only other explanation that comes to mind is the use of the operative word ‘sold’ in the announcement of 22k tickets sold. Hopefully that doesn’t imply that somebody thought it was a good idea to pump out comp tickets for this particular match

If it was genuine it would say something like:
"29 yees yeaz yease 29y Millllll"
And for the record, I feel exactly the same.
