Town have issued a ticketing update ahead of this evening’s home game against Charlton Athletic (KO 7.45pm). The Blues are expecting a crowd of more than 24,000, the second-highest attendance of the season so far, and are advising supporters to arrive early to avoid queues.

Tickets have been selling fast in the last few days with the lower tier of the Sir Bobby Robson Stand having sold out and a very limited number of seats available in the upper tier.

Fans after specific seats in any stand are advised to book as early as possible online via ITFC Direct using the Print at Home facility.

There have been large queues at Planet Blue throughout the day and sales will cease when the turnstiles open at 6.15pm.

After that tickets can only be purchased from a limited number of turnstiles with most cash only and a couple accepting cards. A full list can be found on the club site. All the other turnstiles will be ticket-only entrances.

Fans collecting their recently purchased half-season tickets can do so from Portman Road’s main reception before 5pm or from 6.15pm onwards from the Ticket Enquiry Centre on Portman Road (between turnstiles 9 and 10).

Town say they are unable to move season ticket seats on a matchday, however, upgrades can be processed at Planet Blue (before 6.15pm) and at the Ticket Enquiry Centre (from 6.15pm).

potter added 18:06 - Dec 30 I live 50 miles away and have travel costs at about £250 a month let alone travelling to Portman Road up to 3 times a month with parking, food etc. Also have a 1 year old daughter and a 7 year old step daughter so family costs are high too with partner only working part time

carlisleaway added 18:08 - Dec 30 My heart goes out to Carlsdad and hope the team win for him tonight , I am one of the lucky ones who has watched town since 1964. Let us all get together and support the team tonight and onto the end of the season. We all have our reasons why we can or cannot get to Portman Road on a regular basis. COYB

runningout added 22:01 - Dec 30 sounds blunt, but maybe some people can't understand the need to put families food on the table before shelling out
