This is starting to get like the thread years ago about the Millwall fan called Lee Wall who was posting on one of their message boards about his season ticket seat being sold.
We all laughed at how thick he was, this is going that way.
What, we’re going to laugh at him again?
In fairness StuWall was trying to buy a ticket for a league game he already had a ticket for. Its not the same! No one has been thick here, tge system just failed many of us and caused mass confusion.
No Stu Wall was trying to.buy his own season ticket seat for an FA cup game. It was reserved. As in reserved for him to buy as the season holder.
I believe it was a league game, possibly against us. But I can't search the charltonlife archives on my phone. Someone will be able to confirm!
Why would Stuwall a S/T holder be trying to buy his seat again? It must have been a cup game.
No, that was the whole point. It was a league game, he had a ST, but for some reason he got caught up in the "big game" thinking - which is the same whenever we rock up anywhere, obviously - and thought he had to buy a ticket again. BUt when he tried his seat was taken - by him and his season ticket!
Is there a decent match day car park near the Valley? Usually use trains but this time driving. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Makros? Park + settle any scores you have outstanding with fellow Lifers.
I use the Just Park app but don't know if there'll be much left given the size of the crowd, but worth a look....... there are other parking apps too.....? Also someone on here...... don't remember who (?) mentioned parking in IKEA? Don't know how long you can park without being 'spotted' or what time they close though?
You can park in the Odeon car park for 5 hours. Not sure what time it closes though cause of operating hours, worth checking.
I know “here” wasn’t in another colour, maybe it should have been. But it did say “click here” in the English language and, if you did indeed click here, you were taken to the page showing your ST seats.
But clicking directly on 'here' was'nt working for quite a few people i.e. those using Google Chrome. Chrome is the worlds most popular browser so it affected a large number of users. Not having this tested before it went out to the general public is very poor.
Not the case. I used Google Chrome on Sunday evening, clicked here. and it worked perfectly. The only issue was there was a tiny box you had to tick, left of the script, that I didn't initially do. I calmed down and read the page instructions, clicked the box and everything worked perfectly. E-mail arrived a few seconds later, and ticket printed at home!!
Yes, but no one has said they were successful TODAY using chrome. I know I couldn't and had to use Safari.
I’ve been trying to buy home tickets in our ST seats for myself and my 9 year old son. When I click on the link to buy my ST seat it only give the option for my seat and not my son. Very irritating.
If I can’t get through on the phone (been trying all day) then I’ll have to take my chances on nabbing the seats when they come off reserved tomorrow morning.
Does the website have you linked with your son (I assume yes), then does the link say it is a "relationship", or a "strong.relationship"?. The problem I had yesterday was 6 of my 8 said "strong relationship" and 2 said relationship. I couldn't buy for the 2. I tried deleting one and setting him back up again - weirdly if you choose family that is not considered "strong", you have to chose "customer to customer". Unfortunately when I tried it told me I couldn't re-connect as that person was already in a strong relationship elsewhere. I then emailed the club and they sorted it quite quickly to be fair to them Simples... Or not!
He’s set as “family”. I can’t see if it’s a strong relationship or not. Can’t be, but I’ll phone up once the playoffs are done and get them to sort it for me. Thanks for the tip.
I did manage to get through on the phone and I’ve got our tickets. They answered my call 5 minutes after they were supposed to close for the day. The staff seem to be doing everything they can.

Well I used Chrome yesterday to book, so no need to test it.
Well, not one person on this thread have said that they managed to purchase today via chrome (don't know if anyone did). Everyone that commented on their browser success said they had to use safari, including me and all my mates.
Mine wouldn’t work on safari but managed to get straight through on Edge
Gonna hold off until the unclaimed tickets get released tomorrow. Hoping to snag a home ticket in the covered end. 3 hour drive for me, but will be a wicked atmosphere
All the Covered End Yoof will be in the West, whereas all the West Stand pensioners will be in the Covered End
I hope we get in a load of extra St Johns Ambulance staff etc. Some of the West Standers are gonna be in for a rude awakening
So if we sell oiut, hoe much net revenue do you think a home playoff leg is worth @Airman Brown or others? I'm guessing about £250-300k on the assumption we don't have to share.

Ah, that's good to know then. Because it worked for you that must mean it would've worked for everyone else, if only they weren't so stupid. There were obviously no problems with the system or process, even though the club have since apologies for just such issues. Thanks for clearing everything up for us.
Fair comment, and I sympathise for fans who have been affected, I was just trying to emphasise that it wasn't just a Chrome issue
Maybe controversial but I think for the play off match ST holders should only be allowed to purchase 1 ticket, not 2.
Main reason being that most ST holders will want to purchase their own seats and in many parts of the ground there isnt a spare seat next to them. Also, iirc, many moons ago (probably in the Prem days) when you had a ST book there were half a dozen or so "cup" tickets at the back that you could use for certain cup games. No need to purchase special tickets, just rip out "cup match B" & the jobs a good 'un.
There might have been progress in some areas but I think going back 20 years & having that system now would have alleviated 99% of today's problems.
You are joking of course. From a Clubs perspective season ticket holders are the backbone of the club. Money up front and in the bank in May. Fans buying tickets regularly throughout the season are equally as important, and those going or also going to away games may not add £’s to the coffers, but their support is appreciated and important and adds value in a different way. These two groups are there through thick and thin. I have bought 14 tickets for friends and family during this season and believe that fans in these two groups are significantly responsible for encouraging others to attend. Who better to encourage others to attend a big match like this?
We MAY sell out, but how many fans who have attended a game before (say) Christmas have missed out? The Club want to sell as many tickets as possible. Your own plus six sounds about right to me. Most won’t of course, but I would wager that the fans higher up the chain are more likely to bring someone who will come again.
Fantastic to see a bit of ticket frenzy, hasn't been like this for many years. Fingers crossed now, need to be the 12th man and help the lads win over both legs
So if we sell oiut, hoe much net revenue do you think a home playoff leg is worth @Airman Brown or others? I'm guessing about £250-300k on the assumption we don't have to share.
I might have this wrong but I thought for each game the money went into a pot for all the games and was then distributed equally between the four teams involved. Can’t remember if that includes the final too. As said, might have it completely wrong. Sure someone will know. Airman maybe?
