Borodane 6,246 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I'm taking the family to London on the weekend for the away game at Charlton. My wife and two kids have said they'd give it at try and watch a Boro game. Does anyone know when the away tickets go on general sale? Or can anyone help out with 4 tickets 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,396 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 They go on general sale, if any are left, on Tuesday the 28th. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
OldManGravz 1,310 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Might be better off seeing if any ST holders on here are not going and using their cards to book early Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the away end was even half full, so just thought it would be the same this time, considering we aren't exactly flying. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 I don't know about the restrictions for tickets but are anyone on here going to the game that can help me out with 4 tickets? I'll happily meet up before the game for the tickets, and wire the money in advance. Otherwise I'll just take my chance on the general sale. There is no info on the website though.

Ethers 3 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 First time I’ve been here in a while. I’ll be going - if Brentford made general sale Charlton will do too Are the usual sorts getting involved?? Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Just ordered our tickets for the game. Had completely forgot but thankfully not sold out. Just over 150 tickets left though. 1 pound for U11 is a real bargain. 50 quid for the 4 of us isn't too bad. Looking forward to it now. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah - remember a trip to the Valley a few years back (under Karanka I think) and the away stand had plenty of spare seats. I got a ticket on the day. Think we got a goalless draw that time. On a less serious note...you are a terrible husband and father! Why would you do that to them? 😝 Still, if you're making a weekend of it, there's still shopping & sightseeing etc. I think we can guess how the Boro experience will work out, but hope the rest of the trip is enjoyable.

I was at Charlton game a few years back under AK. Finished 0-0 and yeah there was plenty of room in the away end. Bikey played for Charlton that game and got plenty of abuse "You fat ***, you fat ***". After the game he came to the away end and pulled up his shirt to the amusement of the crowd 😝 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Got our tickets, Daniel, Teddy and I so look forward to seeing Borodane again and Ethers, anyone else from the forum attending? Link to post Share on other sites
ThisIzLeon 31 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 My Dad was Boro born but moved down south when he was 18. One of the very first games he took me to was Charlton away and now 20 years later i am returning the favour, Absolutely buzzing for the game since our first together in years! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Question for the londoners out there. We’re two adults and two kids under 11 years. Which travel ticket would be best to get in London? I get that the kids travel for free regardless. Would the Oyster Visitor card be best and just pay at every fare, or would a 3 day Travelcard be better with unlimited fares? We are staying close to Blackfriars station.

I'm not from London but often go there for matches and social events. It depends on how much you intend on using the tube. For myself it works much better to use my contactless debit card at the gates as it only charges the distance between where you got on and got off (although i'm not sure how this works with children), not only that, its much quicker than having to queue up for a ticket or risk losing your tickets. Just make sure you remember to scan out when leaving otherwise you will be charged the maximum fare. If you plan on travelling around London quite a bit i would recommend a travel card. EDIT: Here's a link explaining how the contactless system works https://tfl.gov.uk/fares/how-to-pay-and-where-to-buy-tickets-and-oyster/pay-as-you-go/contactless-and-mobile-pay-as-you-go EDIT 2: It appears that you need the Oyster Visitors Card to get the free/discounted childrens tickets.
