    The “better tickets” are going to be returns from hospitality and/or additional allocation from Orient’s unsold blocks. Not sure why you would be annoyed - it want possible for those seats to be sold before the were made available.

    I'm hoping if they release any new "better" seats people who already purchased get the option to upgrade first?

    The chances of that happening equate approximately to the square root of f*ck all.
    I pretty much figured, but I live in hope...

    The nosebleed seats weren't very expensive, so might be tempted to shell out again
    I don’t think they have armchairs, though.

    Went to the Jagwars a couple of years back and my brother and me were in the very back row on the side. Also sat back row down one end at England vs Kazakhstan years ago. The views are spectacular 👌 but the climb up is a real slog!

    Square root of - f*ck all, ie imaginary. (I can't believe I just made a maths joke on here)
    At the risk of shepherding this part of the thread into Pedant's Corner (that's my corner hence " 's " and not " s' " for multiple pedants ;) ) ...

    The imaginary number, i , is the square root of minus one, not zero (f*ck all).

    You're welcome ;)

    Absolutely staggering support if I’m honest to not even make general sale. I thought we’d sell out but not quite like this

    We'd sell another 10k no problem I believe as the demand is there. This club is back and IF we do win on Sunday they need to capitalise on this….plenty of 20k+ crowds next season

    shows me that if we did have real success we’d probably let now need a bigger ground
    Not when there is only 10k Charlton fans in the ground on Sunday.

    Pisstake that genuine Charlton fans won’t be able to get a ticket when about half our allocation will be going to friends of Charlton fans that fancy a day out
    Yes and those people might enjoy the day and become new fans.
    No they won’t because 99% of those people will be fans of other football teams. 
    This is such a load of bollocks btw. 
    So people are just bringing people who have no interest in football? 

    It was the same for the previous two finals, lots of tickets sold for people who were not Charlton fans.
    How do you know this? 


    In the group I was in, plus hearing of other stories.
    Our group on Sunday is two spanners, a newcie, three just along for a day out and six Addicks.

    Feel for anyone that didn't manage to get any.
    Hopefully over the coming days as people realise theyve bought two extra for Auntie flo and Uncle Eric who can't make it. Or those who have fat finger syndrome and realise they ordered 3 more then they actually wanted, they'll be enough to go round.

    And for those fretting about being sat up in the Gods really don't sweat it. We were up there last time and had a great afternoon. The atmosphere will be bouncing. And there's something about watching your team from the heights of a big stage that escalates the whole occasion...... And the limbs!  My god the limbs!!

    Heres hoping we get more of the same on Sunday. Stay safe up there people!

    We must be due an announcement very soon.

    New sales number, news on further batches (unless theyll just randomly drop), and the ticket distribution.

    Close call...I work in prisons, so managed to bring a meeting forward to 1, rushed the governor through the meeting, got back to the manager's office to get in the queue. All good, like 214 in the queue, and got into the site quite quickly. Got the tickets bagged, went to pay.
     
    Bloody one time passcode needed.

    Mobiles aren't allowed in prison, so queue the panic, and a manic fast walk (not allowed to run in prison either) from the furthest point from the main gate as I could possibly be, an a jog all the way round to the back of the prison to my car, get the code, call the office where a colleague was waiting for the code. I'm knackered, sweating and not looking good but happy and totally worth it!!! See you Sunday! Whoop whoop!! 
    well done! I have similar when I'm at work, but without such a long walk. But I'm WFH and didn't get any :( Started waiting early but ended up only 2100 in the queue, which scuppered me

    How many non Charlton fans have tickets whilst long-term regulars don't?

    This conspiracy theory is getting out of control 
    It is - seriously overestimating a neutral interest in League One. 
    Is it really a conspiracy theory? It’s a good day out and an excuse for a piss up with your friends - that’s why teams like Wycombe who get about 109 fans at home games take 25,000 to Wembley. Anecdotal, but in the group of 14 I was in for the 2019, only 4 were Charlton fans.
    No one said it isn’t true. What was said is that people are overestimating the number of non-Charlton fans interested.
    who has estimated the number? I certainly haven't, but I don't deny suggesting there were some. Above I asked 'how many' and then there was the comment about 'the conspiracy theory getting out of control'. I certainly can't have over-estimated if I didn't know and had to ask!
    Ah, of course it was you. 
    Was me what?

    Good question, maybe start a new thread for that one?

    Not sure how many of us are on CL but seems odd that so many of us, including regulars on here. didn't get tickets
    Unfortunately priority is based on attending Charlton games not posting on CL.

    Is it? I heard @MillwallFan managed to get 12 - he's donating 11 of them to Charlton fans though ;-)
