I saw a class of about 15 French students looked about 19 at one of the mid season misery midweek games (might even have been the infamous Crawley one) in Bartrams .0

About 20 (East) Germans at a game near the end of the season at Phoenix.0

Loads of Dutch too sat near me before, last season.1

Agree where we sit in the west stand there’s been an increase, been some Spanish and swedes etc.0

Yep. Was chatting to a Dutch lad on the bus back to Wool-Witch after one of the last home games. There were about 6 adults and a dozen or so kids. They were making their way back to East London, over for a football tournament that Sunday and had wanted to see a game. Every single one of them was wearing a new Charlton scarf.18

Are out tickets more expensive than Portsmouth’s or Millwall’s ? I don’t understand why people think they should be cheaper ? I want us to sell as many as possible and of course, the cheaper they are, the more likely that is to happen but I also do t see why we are criticising the club for charging the going rate even if we are upset that we haven’t capitalised on some waiverers / glory boys caught up in the Wembley euphoria - do u not think the prices will go up again if we were to get to the prem ? There’s a lot wrong with football and tv ruining it etc but I think all this crying about a sudden price increase which was obviously going to happen is misdirected
Im however disputing it was obvious.Seems to me you can advertise this upside without any obvious downside and indeed tempt more sales.I won’t be convinced however this price hike was the move most likely to maximise ST sales.
my view stands. I struggle to understand how anyone could assume that they won't be paying high to buy a season ticket if promoted so I don't see the need to warn anyone of this. I think the possible benefit to the club of this is very minor - scare a modest number of people into renewing anyway just in case we don't get promoted?
if you're targeting 12k STHs this season they probably comprise mostly people would buy anyway even in L1 or are willing to take the risk as they were aware of the possible price increase despite not being formally told about i - people who would buy anyway regardless of price increase but only if in Champ - then a small number in the middle
actively talking about the price increase just opens up a whole different discussion point, with the potential for negative sentiment amongst fans (as this thread proves), in the middle of a play off campaign when quite frankly - focus on the priority and the positive energy around that. And then if you don't go up and those price increases don't exist that negative sentiment has already occurred.
maybe the pricing is wrong and maybe they could have done things differently in the post play off period, i haven't actually given it much thought, but I don't really see why anyone can be annoyed that the club haven't formally warned them of the future pricesThe price by contrast is very unlikely to fall in the event of relegation after all.Further I’d remind a previous point I mentioned - the cost needs to reflect the alternate spend for individuals who aren’t yet ‘diehard’. That means comparative to a day out elsewhere whether that be a meal, cinema , theatre etc especially when considering a ‘family’ total spend. Like it or not you are now also competing with streaming / TV subscription costs.It’s just not the most commercially beneficial approach the club have adopted.I’d venture the ownership (long term) are less interested in the ‘working class’ fan base but more the more affluent people they think they can tempt given our geographic location.
A traditional pressure sales technique is to create a feeling that the 'customer' is being offered a good deal, but that good deal has a deadline, sometimes short so there isn't much time to think about it and change your mind.
This encourages people to jump in and take up the offer. By not making the consequences very clear, loads have actually missed out without being given that fear factor.
I would suggest that some are upset because they've missed out, some like me who is no longer in a position to benefit from a season ticket maybe upset because the club has handled this badly and could have had many more season ticket holders and more up front money.0 -

The thing that struck me most about those VIP season ticket prices is that it doesn’t include an open bar. “Complimentary drink upon arrival”? If I’m dropping thousands on a Charlton season ticket I want there to be long term health consequences from the volume of complimentary booze that I consume over the course of the season.14

Yes but what you do get is the option, at your very own cost, to decorate your box!! Sold!2

- 3pm Saturday KO (not that many London Premiership / Championship KO's at 3pm on a Saturday)
- availability and to a lesser extent affordability of tickets
- big'ish noisy typical English matchday atmosphere
- Its not the obviuous Stamford Bridge, Emirates, Tottenham trip i.e. a bit unusual
Not quite the same but there are also an increasing number of foreign born, young professionals who have moved to London for work visiting The Valley. Normally in smaller groups (2-4). Again, I heard Charlie Methven talking about it after a match in Bartrams. As for ideas on how to attract them someone suggested the idea of marketing the concept of "its OK to support a second team whilst your in London" type campaign.5 -

Quite a few in the WSL too, especially towards the end of the season......... they're easy to spot, they're the ones trying to bring their pints back to their seats.....
A lot of them have club shop bags too and get involved in the game and singing for Gooden, TC etc. ....... it's good to see.0 -
I helped a few Sint Truiden fans make it to the ground from Woolwich Liz line station 2 seasons ago.0

Saw a couple of lads in Hamilton Academical shirts in the AC stand at the Burton game. I didnt speak to them but my suspicion is they were Scottish.4

Nathan Jones’ side will be backed by the club’s highest number of season-ticket holders in more than a decade for the 2025/26 Sky Bet Championship campaign.
With just less than six weeks remaining before the Addicks kick-off against Watford on Saturday, August 9th, season ticket sales have already surpassed the amount sold in the 2019/20 campaign - the previous highest of the last decade and the last season Charlton were in the second tier. The Addicks had 10,447 season-ticket holders in that campaign.
So not the highest amount in more than a decade, more like five years. Or have I read that completely wrong?
