Charlton Athletic announced today that sales for tomorrow's home match against Wrexham are already at 23,200 and are expected to exceed 24,000 by kick-off.
This would constitute the club's largest home full paying attendance since the play-off semi-final in 2019, and the highest such Charlton regular season home gate of the last decade. Wrexham have sold 2,500 of their 3,100 allocation, meaning that upwards of 22,000 spectators will be in The Valley's home ends.

West Stand Lower has sold out and there are only 200 seats remaining in the Covered End, so the club has now made the last remaining blocks in the Alan Curbishley Stand and West Stand Upper available. Those tickets will still be available on the day from Charlton's Ticket Office in the West Stand.
Over 4,000 of the crowd will be first-time visitors from the South East London and Kent area, together with 1,000 visitors from foreign countries. Charlton CEO Charlie Methven said: "We are delighted with the attendance and looking forward to seeing what a packed-out Valley delivers in terms of atmosphere. The intention of our 'Welcome to London' campaign was precisely to encourage new local audiences to come and sample what Charlton has to offer, so it's gratifying for our marketing team to see so many local first-time attendees. It's important to note, though, that the sheer number of 'first-timers' will bring with it a few operational challenges. We would encourage all fans to arrive as early as possible."
The Valley Superstore opens at 10am, the Fan Zone, Bartram's and Meantime Fans' Bar will be opening at the earlier than usual time of 11.30am, with beer at £5 per pint until 1pm. The turnstiles will open as usual at 1.30pm and all kiosks will be in operation.
