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

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Just imagine if we'd been able to create something called "an App" and that had the ability to load the ticket straight onto your iPhone, it'd save all these problems, but hey, we haven't invented the smartphone yet so one thing at a time

 

[armchairclubber]

Yes, they said don't call until match day

Sake, really? I'm sure we must be nearing clarity... somewhere....

 

[Dirty Dave]

Had our three arrive today, postmarked 7th December

Been to the sorting office this morning. Collected one Christmas card and no tickets. Tried calling supporter services and there is a message about Charlton and Saints tickets. It said (please don't shoot the messenger):

All tickets have been posted.
Many will not arrive due to industrial action.
Duplicates can be arranged for Charlton by contacting Supporter Services. You CANNOT arrange duplicates before the day of the game. You can arrange them tomorrow by either phone or webchat.

Well that sounds like not a lot of fun for everyone involved.

Unfortunately I don't share your confidence of two deliveries to go. Still waiting for mine having ordered on Day 1, but today no postman seen in the road, so no delivery for anyone not just no post for me. This may well happen again tomorrow, or I could get about ten items through the letterbox.

If only away tickets were etickets none of this having to ring the ticket office then queue for who knows how long at Charlton would not be an issue.

Pleased to say my ticket has just turned up in Shoreham!! Thankfully that's where I live

I have a bad feeling about this.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Not the only one, and also have a fear that when getting to the front of the queue at Charlton, I will be greeted with, no you're not on the list.

Yes, me too. I'm sure @Titanic is in first tier as am I for this game. Not sure how you can order tickets on the first day of sale and not have them for game time. I've written tomorrow off now. Will take dog for a walk via the sorting office as soon as it opens and get back in time to spend the whole day in a phone queue, leaving only to get up to London early enough to queue with thousands of others for tickets.

Shambles.

Is it not PotG with all this going on?

 

[patchamalbion]

Some people need to relax a tad, circle of influence, circle of control and all that.

It’s far from ideal but you can’t do anything about it so if they haven’t arrived get a dupe and turn up earlier.

 

[RandyWanger]

Still no tickets so I'll be in the queue on the phone and then in Charlton for mine. Why couldn't this be print at home or digital

Anyone doing a trade in dick knight masks? Assuming his self imposed ban hasn’t reached SE7

This may help you if you can get to your local sorting office

How does this work? Literally just go to the delivery office and ask for your post?

I've been. They weren't.

Will be checking there again tomorrow as it's at the bottom of the road but it's not a panacea. The bottom line is the clubs left it too long before putting on sale, considering there is a mail strike and Christmas mail.

 

[Knightsworld]

Mine have just been delivered.

Go to your local sorting office before it closes - must be yours - and show ID and ask for your letters. Not sure of other opening hours but mine closes at 10am for this service or parcel collection so you'll need to set an alarm!

 

[Carlos BC]

Where are the better pubs for this game? We were thinking of having a few beers somewhere near London Bridge but just wondered if there were any decent ones nearer that people are heading to?

As long as you have adequate ID, yes.
