We'll sell out Fulham no problem, it's only when the distance is a bit longer that it being on TV affects numbers I'd say.
No way will we sell out 3k EASILY! We can't even sell Millwall out on a Sat! And this is Friday night, on TV and £30 a pop! Hope I eat my words but can't see it!
Fulham & Millwall are different away days. There is a stigma attached to Millwall, you cant just happily plod along and leave the game. You will get locked in, picked out for wearing any colours. People avoid it for this reason, Fulham is fine. It's a family day out if you like.
If you buy a 1 yr S/T you get priority. If you buy a 5 yr S/T you can **** off.
I presume it's an oversight, but whoever is making up the rules this season is not doing an adequate job. Unless they really are intending to penalise VIP's for being foolish enough to give the club 5 year's money in advance.
Don't understand this from you CE as it clearly says from Monday VIP's can purchase two tickets for Bournemouth?
Millwall fans were charged £30 for a TV game at The Valley last season, I believe, and didn't sell out in consequence (although our kids concessions are much cheaper). That was, of course, under the previous regime, but we don't know what would happen if a "gold" game was picked for television. This is one reason why it's not wise to determine these things so far in advance.
When we played Palace live on TV at the start of 2012/13, we stuck to the normal pricing.

Only because it has now been amended to include 5 year VIP's
just looking at the restrictions, I had a season ticket for the last 4 years but this year I haven't renewed for, I've probably averaged about 15-18 away games a season for about the last 5-6 years, buying 2 tickets to each one, at what phase am I allowed to buy couldn't see it that clear on the site.
thanks

I think we'll sell out, amount of fans that probably go for a drink on a Friday night, they'll just do that as usual whilst throwing a Football match in. London derby also, people could go straight from the office. Also I believe we had well over 2k down in Southend for a televised Friday night game and that was in League One!

As Shirty said. For some reason, they either don't check what they post or if they do, then they don't check it properly. Strangely though, when it's picked up on here, it's amended quite quickly. Perhaps whoever is reading this site should be checking the posts on the OS instead ? :-)

Really don't think 30 quid is bad at all. Will be a cracking away day. Would rather spend that and have a proper laugh at the game than go to some shitty pub and watch it on the telly.
Taking the day off work for it and going to start early. Cannot wait.
Agree with the above. If you'd go if it was £27, I'm sure you could find another three quid from somewhere. Let's get a good crowd down there and liven up Craven Cottage.
As on previous ocassions they are allowing people to buy more than one ticket before they go on general sale which is wrong, particularly as regards the Bournemouth game where there only 1,200 or so tickets available. This should only be allowed when they go on general sale.
Fuckin awful attitude from our fans. People complain about our poor away following, as soon as there is an opportunity to use TV AND ticket price as an excuse people use it. No way we shouldn't be selling out Fulham. If you would seriously rather watch Charlton on tv then I'm afraid you're not a proper fan

Whilst I don’t agree with all of what you say, £30 isn’t that much for football. Leeds and Ipswich charged more last season and Fulham are recently relegated and play in the capital. Charlton also charge similar to £30 and Fulham costs naff all money to get to. Where’s the fun in watching it in a pub? Constantly queuing in a crowded bar with people with no interest in the game, or potentially charging down the stairs and hugging strangers if we get a late goal?

Imagine the uproar on here if we ever got promoted.
edit, just seen above, looks like it's reopened.
if you want somewhere different, go to Steam & Rye just up the road opp Leadenhall Market, bar owed by Kelly Brook
Don't fancy Boscomb again though.

Should be doing Bournemouth too, money depending.
