So, I've now decided I want to go tomorrow but all the tickets have been sent back to Wales & they are not selling away tickets on the day. Does anybody have any suggestions? What are the risks in turning up & buying a ticket for a home area?
I've now spoken to the Swansea ticket office & the charming lady I spoke to told me that they just don't sell tickets for the away end, ever! Full stop. Away suporters HAVE to buy them from their own club. And Charlton stopped selling tickets at 3pm on Thursday. So that's that then. What a totally bizarre arrangement & very disappointing. Oh well, CAFCTV it is then.
just a suggestion but I'd change the thread heading to 'Swansea Ticket Wanted' or similar as someone with a spare might not look here under the current heading. You never know.
If you are going to purchase one in the home end, make sure when you phone up you've got a bucket of phlegm in your mouth and practice close harmony singing before you take your seat......:o) There's tidy advice boy!!
I've just had an e-mail from Swansea saying that if I can persuade the Charlton ticket office to take my money, then Charlton can arrange for me to pick up the ticket at the ground tomorrow. It gets weirder by the moment. Why won't Swansea just take my money & cut out the middle man?

that is just ridiculous. You could understand it if Charlton had to hand back the tickets and money taken so that it all agrees but now you are paying Charlton for a ticket they no longer have whilst Swansea have a ticket that Charlton have the money for. Bizarre.
OK, well they've finally broken my spirit. I just can't be bothered any more. Why do they have to make it so difficult for a supporter like me to make a last minute decision to actually go to an away game. I thoroughly enjoyed Barnsley last week; just turned up & paid at the turnstile. You would have thought that in times of falling attendances, clubs would be going out of their way to encourage people to go to games. It's not like we have any history with Swansea is it? Swansea obviously don't want my money, so stuff 'em!!

Really fancy this one now
let me know if you have any luck
just checked and seen it was 3pm Thursday, bad luck lads.
Hard luck mate. It is a very weird arrangment indeed. It is not as if we sold all of them is it?
I have mine right here and will be off in a few hours.
The locals just won't be able to say 'no'.

you need to blend in
* Speak like a retard
* Have a sheep attached to your cock
* Try not to cheer when Dickson scores his hat trick goal
But in fairness - attending Charlton in the home end is not always that bad - I did it at Colchester last season and survived
Good luck if you make the trek!
