    Does anyone know what our cut of the Wembley ticketing will be?
    Also, what’s the prize money for promotion if we win?
    I cant directly answer your question but Charlie Methven might in this podcast:

    Anyone know is an under 12 season ticket holder entitled to 4 also. If I have an adult and under 12 can I  purchase up to 7 if linked. 
    I did last playoff.

    Yep. That even extends to kids in the FS who get a free ST with a paying adult ST. That's my boy's secnario and I know it works for the full entitlement as I used it up helping Lifers for the home leg.

    Realistically just to sell out initial allocation we need 11,000 more than we had on Thursday and that made general sale. 

    I will have mine sorted this afternoon and then I need 3 on Tuesday which I’m confident I’ll be able to get.

    Fair play to the club.  That's a really helpful video

    The lure of Wembley and 'being there' will increase demand over Thursday, but I absolutely agree that this will make general sale.

    I much prefer a proper printed ticket rather than the print at home ones.
    Feel the same. I treasure my '98 and '19 proper Wembley tickets. A4 printout probably less so. 

    However, makes complete sense for all print at home, with less complications and stress with post. 
  • Has anyone booked a Wembley hospitality package and been given a number to ring to pay for it?

    The number I've been given is invalid!

    Anyone help with the right number?

    Much greater chance it will be better and quicker.
    Many fans were logged in for long periods looking for their season ticket seat, and staying logged in whilst queuing on the phone etc.
    Chuck in buying home and away tickets and poor instructions it was no surprise it was chaotic.
    The instructions they have published look comprehensive and the process simpler.
    There will be a minority who will not read them and go in and just press buttons (who are also proud owners of strange looking IKEA furniture).

    Looking through the thread I see you've booked a package. Could you pl tell me asap what number they gave you to call to pay for it.

    Really grateful if you can help.

    Season ticket holders will put a big dent in the allocation, there’s four of us with ST’s effectively buying 2 extra tickets each for non-ST holders who do/have been along to hone and/or away games. I’d expect the average per ST will be at least 1 extra so with last years ST holders and any extra ones for next season that will likely account for 20k minimum. At that level the rest will go quickly but will probably still easily make general sale with plenty of follow on demand as people play catch up. Once we get to a sell out I’d expect extra tickets to be released because I just can’t envisage Orient getting anywhere near selling all theirs, let alone wanting more.

    I'm sure there will be lots of season ticket holders like me who won't buy 4 tickets. We have 2 season ticket and just buying 4 tickets. I don't want to bring along friends for a day trip to Wembley and have to explain the players etc, just want to enjoy the day out with.  Buying two tickets for friends / fans who because of their jobs can't come to all the matches and can't justify buying ST's. 
    Concession questions:
    Is it 60yrs or 65yrs for concession tickets? 
    Student? what proof is needed, or will my sons student ST mean this automatically allows me to buy him a student concession ticket? 
    I can't see this on the club info email sent? 
    Agree, I don’t really want to go to the match with a bunch of people who don’t support Charlton and aren’t as invested in the outcome as I am. Actually, that sounds absolutely awful. 

    No student discounts for this one. Not sure what the OAP concession age is, think there was some discussion of it earlier in the thread. 
    Totally agree, I want to be with Addicted Addicks not friends who aren't invested who just fancy a trip to Wembley and don't know anything about Charlton. This is my 4th trip with Charlton to Wembley and I want to savour the whole day....hopefully!
    It would be good to know if its 60 or 65yrs for OAP concessions

    Yes, the fact Orient are selling block by block, and we aren't, suggests that don't expect to sell out, and we can have the blocks going past halfway line on each side.

    £2.40 booking fee per ticket really irks me. I know it's happened for years at most ticketed events but it's wrong.
    Yes, its plain racketeering. You can only buy the tickets from one site so it's an extra cost you cant avoid. It's a sales tax in all but name.

    There is a discount for 17-21 year olds which will cover most students I would think. It is about half way between full price and the 16 and under and 65 and older concessions.

    £2.40 booking fee per ticket really irks me. I know it's happened for years at most ticketed events but it's wrong 
    Orient are charging a £3 booking fee per ticket, but only £1.50 per transaction (ours is £2.50).

    I wonder if the clubs have any say in that or whether it's dictated by Wembley/whoever has the ticket sales gig?

    Also, Orient season ticket holder can buy 6 each and there are far fewer phases of sale. Which is just an observation by the way, not a comment either way. I suppose less demand equates to less of a need for complicated phases.

    I think to get the bigger allocation we will have to agree to take it, not sure the club will suppose see how quickly it sells out, but with it being a week away extra security would be required etc.

    It will just be the one side. Opposite the royal box.

    Orients allocation is 3.5 times the size of there ground would be like us getting over 100k. 

    It’s a shame it won’t be a full Wembley as the Sunderland game had such good atmosphere.

    Asked the same question while down on a training ground visit - was told £8m prize winnings for promotion via the play offs by somebody who you’d respect and should know. Thought that was quite low an amount to be honest but suppose it helps and Oxford have proven you can kick on regardless.

    Might be a silly question that has been answered already, but Phase 5 indicates tickets will be available to any 'any members on the club's database'. Are members simply account holders with ticket buying history?

    Silly question for most of you... I  do not  print out tickets as I don't have a printer I use the mobile ticket option on a normal matchday.. can you still choose the option of a mobile ticket?  as i watched the latest charlton video instructions this morning  and it came up with just print off tickets at home option. As I am buying on Tuesday
