Phew! My tickets came through today at 14.22.4

I was on within a minute and I only saw middle tier - the 6 blocks I predicted a day or 2 ago - plus a few bits and pieces in the lower.AFKABartram said:Did anyone buying this afternoon see if 526 was on offer or not?
I didn't see any 526.1 -
The FA Cup will be forever soiled and devalued from this month on.Woodwork said:
The FA Cup is the oldest organised association football competition in the world. It has plenty of meaning & history. The fact that football fans can be convinced to view it as ‘meaningless’, just shows how much money does corrupt, and the great job Sky has done in brainwashing people. It’s like saying visiting your nice old grandad is pointless, as you could visit your horrible uncle instead, as he gives you £20 a visit - albeit to get away with rodgering you.Friend Or Defoe said:
I'm fine with the premiership ending after the FA Cup final, as that competition is meaningless now, but no way should it still be ongoing during the playoff bank holiday weekend.Briston_Addick said:

The final weekend of the league season should have been played by now so that the Play-Off Finals had clear air.22 -

My frustration is that I have probably been to enough games over the past 2 seasons to have the loyalty points to have bought in the earlier batch, but given the ease of getting tickets previoulsy I have often bought on the gate when making a last minute decision on an evening game, or had tickets bought by who I occasionally go with and not linked the accounts. Therefore I have a lot of "missing" loyalty points because I bought without my fan ID.paulbaconsarnie said:
By ‘randoms’ I meant people without a cafc purchase history.letthegoodtimesroll said:
Our average gate last season was 15k. That means the Wembley allocation that’s been sold out basically consists of 22k ‘randoms’, some of whom will have got along to a lot of home and/or away games, but not that many.paulbaconsarnie said:
The biggest thing that does not make sense is fans that qualified for certain sales windows could buy for themselves plus 3 other ‘randoms’ that fancy a day out.Spanish said:
Why would anyone put off buying a ticket ? How does that thought process work? I fancy going to this match but will wait til Friday to purchase my tickets ? I have often wondered why joint Valley Gold / ST got so long to decide if they want to go to a game which is on restricted sale. Sure, prioritise them but don't give them 4 or 5 days and make the process for non joint VG/ST ie all the other genuine fans who want to go panic about buying....paulbaconsarnie said:Seeing as Orients general sale window ends at 5pm on Friday, I reckon we will be given a further block by block allocation after then.Anything before that time then whoever makes that decision is opening themselves up for criticism for ‘moving the goalposts’.
Could you imagine if roles were reversed and some of our fans planned to buy on Friday only for the allocation to be reduced and they missed out.
It does not make sense, if sales are slowing then the sooner we get the allocation the less stressful for everyone, particularly as the guy who alluded to the admin required...
Madness. But then we are only football fans....
I have a purchase history from being a (lapsed) season ticket holder and was lucky enough to get a ticket when that window opened.
Some people I know with similar circumstances weren’t as lucky.
I just think being able to get 3 additional tickets for people without history is not fair when others with more Charlton connection miss out.
If I miss out today and more tickets dont become available I will be very frustrated and may change my view, but I also feel that fans with the huge loyalty point totals and fans with season tickets who go to every home game have earned the right to bring friends/family along for the big day out. I could potentially argue that it should be 2 tickets per fan ID / season ticket etc. (as this would have allowed me to get tickets by now!) but I can see the rationale to get the tickets sold as soon as possible, hopefully filling the stadiumAppears I have 1 final crack at getting one today, but not holding my breath as I can only use levels 1 & 2.
Due to work commitments, I couldn't log on at 1400. I posted my last reply to @Uboat about 20 minutes ago?
At that time I thought, what the heck, let's have a look.
When I went on, various singles kept popping up (and disappearing just as quick, I might add).
Long story short, I'M GOING TO WEMBLEY!
If you only need a single, DO NOT GIVE UP!
I'm somewhat stunned.
Haven't read back in the thread, but @Oggy Red, you seem to have got sorted in the last 24-48 hours? I hope that actually was the case.

Good screenshot! Looking at that there's still more to come out of that middle tier. I guess it depends how long they want to hold out for extra hospitality sales.Colin_Walshs_Wand said:

Just a repeat shout-out for disabled/wheelchair supporters, in case anyone wanting such seats is assuming no availability. There are probably 50 such spaces available.
You'll only see these logged in as the disabled CAFC account holder - being linked to the disabled account holder isn't enough to be able to see/buy them.

My understanding from a mate who bought through them, is that Seat Unique only had their mid tier seats allocated to them today. He said they have contacted saying they will be allocated and sent out tomorrow morning. No idea how many tickets they get, but they will obviously reduce what is available in the middle tier.0

I don't agree. Plenty of semi regular attenders who don't have an account or fan ID. My wife has never had one but has been to 35 Charlton games since we've been together. Is she not allowed a ticket. Plenty of people who buy for their less computer literate older family and friends who would then miss out.shine166 said:
It's a unpopular opinion, but personally I think ST/VG holders should be able to buy 4 tickets as long as everyone has a cafc ID. Nobody should be entitled to bring randoms, just because they've spent money at the club.Chrispy51 said:

Family stands should be for young kids too, not 15/16/17 year olds who are probably having a pint before the match 😆
If you were to do this you'd need to make it really clear and telegraph it 2 years in advance. So that people can set up accounts and build purchase history's for those people. There should also be a reminder with every purchase of multiple tickets to assign them to the right people or risk them not being able to attend big games.
I'm just not sure we are at the point of needing to restict sales like that (yet!).6 -
About 50 Orient tickets sold in block 516 in about the last hour. Similar rate to earlier in the afternoon. This block went on sale today. Lots of singles and just a handful of 2s and 3s elsewhere.

So poor from Wembley. One working day left before the game and still uncertainty on tickets.29
-
I imagine they'll be waiting for Leyton Orient to take their tickets off sale tomorrow before deciding if we get a further allocation. The timing is far from ideal1
-
At this point i'd just cap Orient at 30k tickets they've had long enough now to satisfy everyone on there database and still have some room left to sell some more.
Then over to see how many more we can sell to our database.32 -

even if we don't get any morer tickets from orient's allocation, why can't we have more on the basis that the ground holds 90,000? If orient sold all theirs (another 10k tomorrow, however unlikely) then surely there is close on 16,000 still up for grabs (less hospitality)??14

seems nuts if we don't get a load more tomorrow, particularly as they are print at home - not everybody has access to a printer on a saturday or sunday4

Hospitality and Club Wembley, etc will be a pretty big number. I'm now thinking if we get any more it's possibly only going to be another 3k or so. Fingers crossed we get even some more though.DOUCHER said:even if we don't get any morer tickets from orient's allocation, why can't we have more on the basis that the ground holds 90,000?

Unless the same people who don’t have access to a printer don’t have access to a phone with their emails on.
And that’s only going to be Seth. 😉6 -
Library’s are open Saturday morning and charge 10p per print out, and there are shops that will do as well. They are more expensive and I have been quoted £5 a copy!!DOUCHER said:seems nuts if we don't get a load more tomorrow, particularly as they are print at home - not everybody has access to a printer on a saturday or sunday1 -
I wonder how many season tickets we have sold on the back of this?
Smart move by the Club and I hope they did well.12 -
I live close to Baker Street station and willing to print out your tickets at £5 a pop. 💷💷💷💷Redrobo said:

The tickets say on them 'Can be scanned on your phone OR printed on A4' - so no-one should be panicking about access to a printer3

(unless they also don't have a phone!)

Would be fascinating to know how many we could have sold if provided with enough. We may well never know.
Glad that the majority of long time posters on here seem to be sorted now save for a few exceptions. Good luck those still looking.7
