Anyone actually received their tickets by post as of yet?

Your best bet is to be in, when the postman is due. Don't rate your chances if your missus see the envelope from Charlton first.

Received ours today - return address on back of envelope postmarked Exeter.

Wasn't going to go but I've just found my old membership details so will get tickets tomorrow.  I feel a bit hypocritical getting tickets as I vowed to not go again until Roland had gone & I suddenly rock up for a Wembley game, but I know people that have never been to a Charlton match that have got tickets through friends so fuck it!

The more the merrier. It would be awful for Sunderland to be singing "you couldn't sell all your tickets".

Sunderland have sold out their allocation and are now buying ours!!!

How is that possible? Recipe for trouble.

Sunderland fan on a wind up mate, ignore.

Edit: And despite a warning to play nicely, inevitably banned.

If anyone does this then they'll have to be careful when we score... Dont want to jump up celebrating going crazy etc. as might give the game away

Just introduce them to the phrase "ambulatory wheelchair user".

I'll probably get flamed for this, but here goes.......

Does anyone else think that there are too many disabled/wheelchair tickets  ??  Sounds like there are a good hundred or so left which could go to an able bodied person. Its not as if the 'space" couldn't be used by anyone else. Would peeve me if I couldn't get a ticket but saw on tv a  number of empty seats.....and that would probably just be for their helper / carer. 

At Wembley the disabled seats (wheelchair space) are flat areas near concourses so not really taking up any space. 
They have a lot there admittedly but they come in very handy when Millwall repeatedly make it to Wembley.

Payment is no longer pending this morning, fingers crossed tickets turn up shortly

If we'd sold 34k by yesterday morning, then surely we've already sold out? 

But that means there is still a couple thousand somewhere 

No i meant that if we'd sold 34k by yesterday morning, then surely by the end of yesterday the full allocation of nearly 37k had been sold? 

It's weird as there doesn't seem to be any left to buy yet the club haven't released a SOLD OUT announcement.

Most venues make next to no provision for wheelchairs - at least at Wembley there is space available.

There's no concern generally for the lack of provision or poor access. I get the impression a lot of venues see wheelchair users as a hindrance.

A lot of venues are old and weren’t designed for wheelchairs, so have had to adopt DDA, whereas Wembley would have been designed with DDA in mind.

It does make me laugh that some people seriously think some tickets have been deliberately held back to go on general sale. I mean why do that? Why give people different categories of priority and then deny them a ticket in favour of some Herbert with no priority who just walks in off the street? Not even we would do that.

i suspect a few may have been kept back for WAGS and family of the players and staff and those unsold may surface shortly, but holding tickets back for general sale would be nonsensical.

Regardless of the venue there is usually an inadequate number of wheelchair spaces - I have two daughters who are wheelchair users and it's always a struggle to book things. The wheelchair seating even in a lot of modern venues(esp cinemas) is situated in some ridiculous positions.

The best stadiums I've been to for wheelchair access are the Olympic Stadium and MK Dons. No idea what Wembley is like?

I'm glad that Wembley at least provides a reasonable number of seats and disappointed to see those moaning on here about it.

Why disappointed? An unsold seat is an unsold seat, isn’t it?

its great that specially designed facilities are available, but at the moment the facilities available appear to be greater than the demand. It’s a valid point. Not a massive issue, but still a valid point.

The layout is a seat next to the wheelchair space - the wheelchair user has to be registered disabled. Not clear if these seats can be used - I'm not sure on the policy at Wembley.

My point is nobody gives a toss about the lack of provision in most venues but when it's the other way round they do.

Bit of communication from the club on the ‘missing’ 2000 wouldn’t go amiss

I suspect blocks 550 and 551 are still to be sold which is imagine will take us up to the sell out. They may be left until the end for segregation purposes if we do not sell out. 

They will need to go on sale this morning if the club are not to run into logistical difficulties in getting them out or having thousands queuing at Wembley for tickets they have already bought and paid for. 

551 already sold. 

Just 36,000 odd to go then....
