I sympathise. Now that my kids have left uni and pay adult price it’s a pretty expensive day out, especially once all the booze is factored in. We would have been there if we weren’t on holiday, but it will have to be an occasional thing.Gammon said:I can't afford it anymore sadly0 - 
            
I don't know how far back you're going but can only repeat what I said.AndyG said:
When did this change ? Years ago I’m sure the club under reported attendance perhaps to avoid tax no idea why but I often thought bloody hell there’s more here than that ! Now everyone over reportsElfsborgAddick said:
I think this happened for a period under Sandgaard, however, my understanding is that clubs generally advertise the gate including all tickets sold/issued as comps.HastingsRed said:
Did they not say they were only counting those that are actually there.ElfsborgAddick said:High advertised gate, a low bums on seats number.
Loads of people are on holidays.0 - 
            Heavy rain due Saturday. Will revise my prediction down to 12,747 on basis that any cricket is also rained off.0

            Suspect on tickets sold / freebies it will be 13-14k0

            Think last chance today to buy without the surcharge, don’t delay guys4

            Browsing through the ticket options block by block there seems to be a lot more greyed out ones than red ones with the covered end in particular looking like it’s going to be busy on Saturday (catering please take note). My guess is much more than half is greyed out so that would suggest possibly as many as 17-18k at least taking into account the away end is going to be full, and the likelihood of even more by the time of kick off.5

            If the site is correct then I think we have sold 10k+ season tickets - not convinced its right though coz block k is showing as having only 1 seat left to buy a season ticket but then 2 seats available for the orient game0

            NSK ?
that’s (now) only showing as 1 seat available for Orient

            I wouldn’t try and work out @Doucher from what’s displayed. In my block alone it looks like yesterday afternoon around 200 seats have been blocked out to be given away as Trust freebies, so actual sales in my block are minuscule to what shows on screen.

            Areas where there are large blocks not on public sale I’m guessing allocated for club or Trust freebies are NW A, East C and H (A+B are closed), West A, B, L and Q (H+R are closed).0

I’m sure if we’d sold 10k of season tickets the comms team would be tweeting about that , we’ll have done well to sell 8k of season ticketsDOUCHER said:If the site is correct then I think we have sold 10k+ season tickets - not convinced its right though coz block k is showing as having only 1 seat left to buy a season ticket but then 2 seats available for the orient game3 - 
            
Under 6,500 as of the 5th June. No figure given since bar a 4% down remark as of the last fans forum on tickets sold from 12 months ago. Under 8,000 were sold last seasonoohaahmortimer said:

Fair enough - I'm guessing you are in block G of the east stand AFKA. I can see a suspicious 'chunk' blocked out but not noticed many others - my youngest has been a bit late to the party in getting his and went to buy yesterday - we are block J north upper and he's having to buy one a good few rows away - there was only about 15 single seats in that whole block left - unlikely the more popular blocks would be given over to freebies and they appear to be going well.AFKABartram said:I wouldn’t try and work out @Doucher from what’s displayed.

i'll concede on NW A (academy day always fills up), East G,H and C, and West Q - i think the other blocks are 'clean' !!!AFKABartram said:Areas where there are large blocks not on public sale I’m guessing allocated for club or Trust freebies are NW A, East C and H (A+B are closed), West A, B, L and Q (H+R are closed).0 -

Probably embargoed info because of the takeover process and nobody has had a chance to lift it yetoohaahmortimer said:

            More home tickets sold than any home game last season. Think derby at home was around 17k so it will be at least that4

            Very good. Should be a great atmosphere2
 - 
            Looking forward to it. Love the 1st game buzz

            17000 based on these facts, Orient will sell out, the curiosity around new owners and new signings and the season ticket sales probably being better than expected.1

I’m struggling to believe this tbh, though I accept they wouldn’t lie about it. Just surprised it’s outsold the games v Ipswich, Sheff W and Derby last year (and Brighton), given what the stadium plan shows when you strip out closed blocks and those allocated as freebies. They’re making a point of saying SOLD so I’m guessing they aren’t including the compsNabySarr said:More home tickets sold than any home game last season.

You might well be right, though I often wonder how much a lot of our fans actually know what’s going on at the club. Sometimes when I get chatting to people around me at a game they are pretty much oblivious to all the goings on at Charlton.Bailey said:17000 based on these facts, Orient will sell out, the curiosity around new owners and new signings and the season ticket sales probably being better than expected.3 -

            Well I looked at all the home areas yesterday evening and estimated that we hadn't sold half the home seats.
Yes a couple of the most popular blocks had limited availability, but many of the least popular blocks were only about 20% sold.
The announced attendance may well depend on complementaries.0 -

I'm guessing they are, because that's the language routinely used. The official attendance for the Sheffield Wednesday game in August 2021 - the first home game fans could attend for 18 months and the first they could attend since TS took over - had an official crowd of 17,639 (and an actual that will have been more like 15,000). There were 10,000 STs and a great deal more interest in that game than this one, as I recall.AFKABartram said:

My e mail asked me to bring someone, but there was no mention about it being a freebie.MartinCAFC said:
I got an email a couple days ago offering me a as a ST holder the chance to bring someone to the match on a freebie.Airman Brown said:

Not sure how widely documented this has been but a fairly decent uptake if available to all ST holders could bump the crowd up?0 -
