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

[sully]

Slowly
Apparently not all tickets printed yet

Edit : I’m now in the queue to get the tickets printed!

And now I have them. Hurrah!
50 minutes total in queue.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Currently in the queue in valley grove actually facing away from the stadium, that’s how bad it is. f***ing shambles

 

[jcdenton08]

My mate is in the queue, reckons there’s no chance he’ll get in on time (came straight from work) - his words; “do I not like that” along with a picture of a huge snaking queue.

Sounds a bit of a mess, as we all predicted to be fair

 

[jordanseagull]

Any last minute tickets? DM

 

[Seagull99]

Totally avoidable shambles.

Print at home
E tickets
Collect from Brighton over a few days

They had at least a week to organise something sufficient for the numbers and clearly did diddly squat.

 

[Rugrat]

Feel for everyone impacted, it was so avoidable.

Let's hope you don't get the somewhat predictable response from the club "what you need to understand is ..........."

 

[Acker79]

Maybe a romance could be blossoming.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Got tickets and we are in. Happy Days. Now for an Undav hatrick

 

[Guinness Boy]

Got to ground at 5.30. In ground at 6.40. At one point there were two merged queues, one for dupes and one waiting for turnstiles to open with a third for people who’s tickets hadn’t yet been reprinted.

Could well be a delayed kickoff here

 

[Superseagull]

No way everyone in the queue now will get ticket in next 20 mins.

 

[BrightonLoyal]

End of the queue is still probably an hour from getting their tickets

From the Charlton forum;

‘Some very upset Brighton fans lining up in the cold to collect their tickets. At least they're getting a taste of our shambles... some seem to be keen to put the blame on their own club though.’

Just saying….

Haven’t been following this as closely as most, clearly, but how can this possibly be Charltons fault?

No chance

edit Blackburn v Forest game has though been delayed due to traffic issues

 

[jcdenton08]

Mate saying queue still heavy outside. Played 3 minutes

Didn’t send any duplicate tickets down to Brighton - only the allocation.

No idea. Good to have a different perspective though. There are lots of agendas on here…

 

[Questions]

Is it pay on the gate ?

 

[Albion 4ever]

Just absolutely woeful from Charlton and the Met Police. So many staff not doing anything. Four staff in mobile ticket office getting abuse and being worked off their feet.
No organisation.
No dynamic risk assessment.
No one taking responsibility.

 

[Conkers]

The whole thing was a complete shambles.
Joined the queue at 6:20. Got to the front at 8:00.
Ticket wasn’t printed so joined the next queue to get it printed.

Then told to go to another ticket office (different from the one on the email) to get a new ticket. 15 mins in that queue and finally got my hands on it.

Charlton saying it was Brighton’s fault, Brighton saying it was Charlton’s fault. I wonder if a higher up from either club can explain that s*** show?

Customers not fans.
