[Albion] Carabao Cup Fourth Round: Charlton - 3rd allocation of tickets

[timbha]

2) they have tear off Stubs which has a barcode on - I only know this as my sons arrived weeks ago and I’ve got to collect mine in person as they damaged the tear off stub (that’s what they said anyway) not exactly over the moon about this as everyone I’m going with tomorrow has their tickets already, can sense it’s going to be a disorganised shit show, no way the away ticket office is designed to cater for 3,000 tickets on the day (assuming 50% aren’t received in the post)

thanks. I wonder why they have a tear off stub and a bar code

Managed to get through to the ticket office in the end, we can't collect until 1745. Great.

That is piss poor. Surely they can sort something out to get duplicate tickets sorted earlier.

I think some perspective is needed here - sorry! My son (a transplant patient) - for the second time this month - is waiting for vital drugs to be delivered by Royal Mail. These are drugs that you can't just get from a chemist ... his hospital (Addenbrookes in Cambridge) send them to him. He was literally down to one days supply early in December because of a postal strike. It was said that prescriptions/medication wouldn't get held up by the strike. This was a lie according to our local postie!! He's hoping his next lot will arrive tomorrow. Unfortunately the hospital aren't helping as they're not sending out bigger supplies to try and overcome the strike issue ... despite numerous requests!! The stress my son - and us as parents - are under is incredible.

Hopefully many will receive their tickets tomorrow before they need to leave for The Valley. For those that don't receive them, I hope the process that is put in place for collection at The Valley is better than things look at the moment.

Would they not allow you to drive up there and gets them?

I only ask as my late wife suffered during lockdown in getting her drugs. They were quoted as £15000 cost a month, though being specially licensed they were cheaper, after she died they continued to courier them down to her, refused my refusal to take them so took them to my local boots who refused as well. 4 months it took to cancel them.

FWIW Charlton have just announced (all in one go) a new manager, technical director (director of football type role), chief operating officer and finance director:

Dean Holden (ex Oldham and Bristol City manager), Andy Scott (ex Brentford and Rotherham manager), Jim Rodwell (ex Sunderland and Hull CEO) and Ed Warwick respectively.

The latter set up a new shell company a few days ago (with Charlton's SE7 postcode in its name) with ex-Sunderland director Charlie Methven who is rumoured to be involved in an imminent Charlton takeover.

I don't know if this will affect anything for tomorrow - our caretaker manager will still be in charge for it (only his third game as a manager) but may add a feelgood factor in the home end. At least until the game starts and we get panned.

You think being taken over by Charlie Methven will create a feelgood factor? No chance.
We can quibble over what ‘boycott’ means, but I think most fans who don’t go any more don’t go because they don’t feel like it and have had enough of what had become a depressing experience.

I sympathise with this, as my father is also waiting for a critical prescription to come through the post. That said, I am still pretty miffed that my Charlton tickets haven't arrived. I had planned to spend the afternoon in London with my kids before heading to the game as late as possible, but now we are going to have to curtail that to join a queue at the ticket collection point which could be extremely long, and cross our fingers that someone has scribbled our names down on a list.

I know the advice was to wait until tomorrow's post, but we will be well on the way to London before the mail arrives - even if the tickets are in it. I contacted Supporters Services on the Live Chat earlier and they have already put me on the list for collection. I'd prefer it if we were able to collect in the morning, to be honest, rather than wait until 5:45, but I guess the club want to finalise the list before sending it to Charlton.

A lack of foresight on many fronts, in my opinion.

If they hadn't arrived on the day they did at the beginning of December I was ready to jump on a train to Cambridge. Will certainly consider going up there if things get close like that again this time.

I can't believe you were put through that ... well I can sadly ... that must have been really tough to deal with.

I certainly understand being miffed and sorry your plans have had to change. Hope the ticket collection works out

In researching this I found that hesgoal is no more. Well, for now anyway.

 

[AnotherArch]

thanks. I wonder why they have a tear off stub and a bar code

This is because all tickets start with 2 barcodes and they tear off the 'Adult' barcode for a Concession ticket before sending it out

 

[BNthree]

thanks. I wonder why they have a tear off stub and a bar code

The tear off stub is for if it’s child ticket. Easy way to see visually. I’m guessing his stub got torn off by mistake so he needs a replacement which is an adult ticket.

About 20% of the people i know still waiting for tickets. Some way off the 50% being predicted on here.

Really not sure how the club coukd have foreseen the post being as bad as it has the last week or so.

I'm sure it will work out ok in the end

A poll posted by WeAreBrighton on Twitter at lunchtime today suggests near to 54% of supporters haven’t received their tickets yet. I would take that sample size than the people you know
