Season Ticket Sales

This is from Rick Everitt

BREAKING: #cafc ST sales for 2017/18 to date around 4,500 - club claimed to have issued 6,500 last Season.

Really poor but no big surprise.

 

The only surprise is so many have been sold...

 

Some decent signings might persuade a few more to take a punt on a cheap ST, but only a change of ownership will make a significant difference.
Any new owner can expect a big surge in season ticket sales on the day the news is made public.
Some might still be wary if RD retains ownership of the Valley, but it might depend on the terms of the deal...

 

My thoughts on Duchâtelet is like my thoughts on the EU. Either he has it all, or he has none of it. Preferably the latter, especially as I've lost all passion for the game.

Next season I'm going to Cray Wanderers games to rediscover my love and excitement for football. I've enjoyed Harlequins and Kent Spitfire games of recent. Happy to discuss them if people want?

And to reiterate to the pro-Roland crew out there, Duchâtelet is solely responsible for that.

 

I'm one of the 4,500 ....a rare beast indeed

 

someone else has countered the 4500 figure claiming it's much lower.

i was surprised at 4500. that seems way too many.

 

I've been touring non-league football grounds for the last two years, both home and abroad. I've had a fantastic time watching grassroots football, making a host of new friends, and visiting different towns, villages and hamlets.

Non-league is the future.

 

Those who bought at the early-bird price needn't have bothered. The price will be the same when sales resume. Surely a sign of desperation by the club?

 

That's why I don't believe the 4,500 figure.
The ongoing early bird/all summer cheap deals suggest that selling season tickets are about as easy to sell as a truckload of dead cats.

 

That means there are only 22, 811 places left, so hurry hurry hurry hurry.

 

If there is 'desperation' among the executive at low season ticket sales I can't really see why. The Club has made its opinion of fans clear during the last three years, and fans have now made their position clear in response.
I'll be sitting about 10 seats away from a closed block next season.

Instead of closing three blocks of seats inside the Valley -- something they apparently have no problems at all with -- why not simply close six, or however many they want to. No need to bother telling the fans (like me probably) who will be affected, just let a friendly steward do it on the first home game of the season.

 

The Belgians do not care, they are clueless.

Over the years when we have had respectable figures for season ticket sales, you struggled to find a published figure.
Just before last season started they published the overall sales figure of about 6500, a loss of 4000, something they should have wanted to cover up.

 

Ditto.

I will be looking to finish off the Kent, Sussex, Ryman, National Conference/South and the Combined Counties. From these leagues I need about 25 to complete the set, so as I will not be going at all next season this will be easily achieved.

Non-League is honest, unlike the Belgians.

 

That happened last season too I think

 

There must come a time when Roland has had enough of watching his money disappearing down the Charlton plug-hole. And when he says enough is enough what will he do then, that's the question.

 

I don't think that time will ever come - unless Katrien Meire decides for herself to resign as our CEO.
One theory is that Charlton Athletic is being supported financially for her benefit. She appears to have unlimited licence to get things wrong, based presumably on the assumption that she will learn to do better eventually. And in the meantime money is no object.

We need a new owner so badly - an owner whose motivations at least make some kind of sense outside the whimsical world of Belgium's own Willy Wonka.

 

Every man has his price.

 

Mine is a new coat.

 

Saw a post on Twitter that points out Lincoln have sold more season tickets than us.

 

That's not surprising seeing the state of both clubs
