Really? I dread to think how many posts you've made about the ticketing for this game
The only justifying I've saw is our fans defending the ticket prices...

29.2K yesterday. Last year v West Brom (and cheaper prices) was 31.5K. Time will tell but I'm fully expecting 31K plus for Charlton.tbf the seats you could see empty on the TV, at least in the home end, were pretty much all seats that were sold and people that either couldn't be bothered when they saw the wether or somehow moved elsewhere a bit more out of the rain. The family zone was particularly bad for this.
Not sure you can draw too many conclusions about the seats in the block that only became available in the days before the match not being full.
What's the difference between average attendances when you compare A+ and B games? Not got time to work it out right now now so could be way off but some quick mental arithmetic looks to not be more than a few hundred. Suspect you'd have to see a much bigger difference for King to view it as a failure.
There were loads of resale sold for Sheffield United.
If the game is sold out, why wouldn't you click a button to resell the ticket?
did it fuckYep. I'd rather we were filling every seat.
Looked dreadful on telly yesterday.
Confirmation bias in action innit10 years ago we were lucky to get 10,000 through the gate when there were huge gaping spaces throughout the ground, while our support base is now as high as its ever been. Yesterday was not terrible. You have have been banging on about the crowd for the West Brom game for weeks, so I guess your statement is a means of you further justifying that viewpoint.
no mate, you were wrong so just give it a restYeah, I'll keep banging on about it and rightfully so.
You're kidding yourself if you think 29K actually turned up. Tickets sold, yes but nowhere near that many actually attended the game.no mate, you were wrong so just give it a rest
we had over 29k there yesterday, it was brilliant

ok, we sold 29k tickets which is what is importantYou're kidding yourself if you think 29K actually turned up. Tickets sold, yes but nowhere near that many actually attended the game.
There are plenty of employers in Coventry paying good wages. Not all the people working in these places live in Coventry thoughDon’t believe it, will be the council staff skewing that.
Saying the average wage 40k, I know a lot of people and the vast majority earn nowhere near that.
I know a few people who commute to London as well.There are plenty of employers in Coventry paying good wages. Not all the people working in these places live in Coventry though

The vast majority of our fans are now season ticket holders. Who in reality don't give a shit about the match to match ticket prices, like it or not that's the reality.
So rather than people defending it, they probably just don't care that much as it's not affect us. So they rightly see it as 'well of Doug makes extra money to spend on the club then so be it'
tbf that was a 3pm kick off on a bank holiday in April. Not sure you can really conclude much when you compare it to an early kick off in shit weather in November. Could just as easily point to the season before, cheaper tickets and 23,971 attendance but again not sure that really tells you much when you compare it to this season.29.2K yesterday. Last year v West Brom (and cheaper prices) was 31.5K. Time will tell but I'm fully expecting 31K plus for Charlton.
Home yes but not good for away fans though and I emphasize our away fans who are copping for it as well.The vast majority of our fans are now season ticket holders. Who in reality don't give a shit about the match to match ticket prices, like it or not that's the reality.

Yep. 7 tickets left in the entire stadium for Swansea unless they have any additional pockets to open. Impressive.Charlton selling very well now, and Swansea just a handful of single tickets left
Gonna be close to a record for both charlton and Swansea (depending of Swansea sell out their allocation). I see hospitality is sold out for swansea.Yep. 7 tickets left in the entire stadium for Swansea unless they have any additional pockets to open. Impressive.
I'm still expecting a sell-out for Charlton too.
Swansea will not sell out there allocationGonna be close to a record for both charlton and Swansea (depending of Swansea sell out their allocation). I see hospitality is sold out for swansea.
Not sure there's an easy answer that doesn't involve forcing season ticket holders to move which never goes well but we seem to have ended up with a large number of single ticket all around the stadium.Charlton selling very well now, and Swansea just a handful of single tickets left
I think the weather put a lot of people off who had purchased tickets. Some would have stayed in pubs instead of walking over in the rain.You're kidding yourself if you think 29K actually turned up. Tickets sold, yes but nowhere near that many actually attended the game.
Being one of those who often checks to see how ticket sales are going, I've noticed that we don't seem to have a system that stops people leaving odd seats empty when they select their seats.Not sure there's an easy answer that doesn't involve forcing season ticket holders to move which never goes well but we seem to have ended up with a large number of single ticket all around the stadium.
Sure they must be harder to sell than if you had them grouped together.

Me and my boy have ST seats 17&18 Block 10 South stand.Being one of those who often checks to see how ticket sales are going, I've noticed that we don't seem to have a system that stops people leaving odd seats empty when they select their seats.
Quite often with theatres etc you can't (for example) book the middle two seats of four remaining on a row, so leaving "singles" on either side. It seems to happen frequently in the stadium.
That’s the problem with football fans, they’d be up in arms about prices raising. £30 for a ticket in the championship was normal 15-20 years ago which is around £50-55 in today’s money when adjusted for inflation. In the meantime, transfer fees and wages have gone up with inflation as well as the boring day-to-day operations of a football club.I haven't read the entire thread, seems like another tedious argument.
Crowds are fantastic considering where we were such a short time ago.
But lets not try to justify £45 for a ticket whatever the circumstances...... if it was another club we'd (rightly) be up in arms about it.
There is no feasible ticket price that could properly sustain that kind of transfer activity. It’s not the fans’ fault that the economics of English football don’t make sense, and frankly we should stop pretending that fans at this level are responsible for funding the club.It’s a case of ‘cakeism’, we’re more than happy to let an owner pay £45-60m in transfer fees but god forbid they charge £40 for a ticket.
2nd worst argument ever on this forum.There is no feasible ticket price that could properly sustain that kind of transfer activity. It’s not the fans’ fault that the economics of English football don’t make sense, and frankly we should stop pretending that fans at this level are responsible for funding the club.
Was reading an article in an industry mag recently about ticket prices for live entertainment and how, post-covid, they have risen at multiple times the rate of inflation. In some cases up to ten times the price immediately prior to covid.Your football tickets and ST is one of the only things you’ll buy today that was more or less the same price as it was 15-20 years ago.
