Oxford ticket office just told me they are sending first allocation of tickets to Charlton in next 24 hours and they should be on sale early next week

Bloody hope so I've got a train ticket.

I've got 580 loyalty points 

Sheffield Wednesday fans already buying tickets in the home end as general sale doesn’t come into play until 2 days before the game

If you think the ticket office is hard to get hold of I have booked some hospitality for the SW game and have been calling the Commercial Department for 2 days now trying to book parking but never any answer lol

The hospitality and commercial office sounds a joke at the moment. No one has a clue what’s going on by the sounds of it. Looks like they’ve announced this Club 1905 rebrand without fully thinking it through or caring about the existing fans that have had season tickets in there for decades. Not my direct experience, but those that I know. 

What's this, I've not heard of Club 1905?

Rebranded Millennium Lounge. Except now it’s the same as the Keith Peacock suite, three course meal etc. Not sure if it’s available season long like the Millennium Lounge was or what the plan is with existing Millennium Lounge season ticket holders who aren’t interested in that option. Kick them all out and stick them in the Vista Lounge I expect.

A week tomorrow & still no news of matchday arrangements for the "average" supporter in the Fans' Bar/Crossbars ....

A common theme. New shiny customers only please.

Followed it up, got sent the £150 seat prices again within 5 mins. Replied asking for the crossbars info again and have heard nothing lol 


Edit: crossbars opens at 3pm on 7th 

But is it first come, first served as usual ? 

I was hoping that the club would find another space to supplement the inevitable overspill.

It's not only hospitality packages that make money IMO & it's about time more fans ( especially season ticket holders who put their money where their mouths are season after season) had somewhere to meet their groups and to enjoy a drink & food sitting down. 

I wonder whether the club has decided to stick with the status quo and avoid addressing what is a huge problem for many. 

After all, surely a decent matchday experience doesn't just start on the pitch....

Yeah first come first serve, which tbh is the fairest way. They can't be expected to stay half empty just because tables are booked. 

TBF, that wasn't what I was suggesting, thank you. 

If you don't have a disability or are an aged fan, then you clearly won't appreciate where I'm coming from. 

It would help too if children's pre match parties weren't taking up some of the precious space in that lounge. 

Maybe there could be a brief meet & greet with a couple of players before they have their celebration in A N Other area inside The Valley ? 

There are solutions which would help solve the problem but maybe no-one cares....especially if they live locally, are able bodied & don't mind drinking outside one of the diminishing in number hostelries in the area...

Getting some answers from Jo here gradually. She’s answered a few other fans too. 

Surely the access to the (former) Vista Lounge is from the upper west, whereas Millennium was previously used by people seated in the lower west?
So if you swap them over you create an access issue?

Old or disabled people are also welcome to be there at 3pm when it opens. Admittedly I am able-bodied, but travel in from 2 hours away so also appreciate the hospitality that crossbars offers.

As explained in Club 1905 announcement there are still restrictions for COVID-19 affecting the hospitality offers.

The announcement itself is pretty vague, lacks detail and answers to obvious questions.

It will depend on whether the August 19th date holds and restrictions come off.

i've always felt that the south east and west corners could be the solution - i think the more free to use bar space you can get in the ground, the better, particularly with so many of the pubs and clubs in the surrounding area now being closed - if u sit in the north stand, then use crossbars, east stand, use south east corner and south west corner, overspill for west and north.   

The club’s ticket office will open from 11am-5pm every weekday starting Monday, September 27th. The new opening hours have been put in place following last week’s Fans’ Forum.
