March 27, 20242 yr Reading fan at work has just purchased his- reckons 300 left from a 2500 allocation? Might have the latter number wrong

March 27, 20242 yr They've confirmed sold 1,200. I know cheap tickets, but it's felt like the first time in ages, if ever since doing these cheap community days, where the away team has brought more than a taxi, certainly over 1,000. The matches I can remember of the top of my head: Posh, Leyton Orient, Exeter, Charlton, Accrington. I think Reading will bring more than those combined.

No point reducing ticket prices when a big away following is expected.

Cambridge and Rotherham spring to mind in last couple of years or so. It does seem odd that a few more teams haven't brought bigger followings. I'm guessing none of our away league games will ever be £10 unless its Plymouth on a Tuesday night or something.

Yeah, my point is that the discount we've done has barely had an impact at all on the size of the away followings. This time being an exception, could be looking at 1,500 Reading fans coming, whereas it probably would've been 500 max beforehand. Agree that the club has to be smart on these things. Dates being a huge factor but also the opposition club, obviously make no sense doing such a discount for when Derby, Wigan or Blackpool come to town.
March 27, 20242 yr we have been over all this before lets say im a peterborough fan 50 quid plus for a train more than that for refreshments. knocking 15 off the ticket price is not getting me to travel these family days are set up for the benefit of home part timers hoping they get a taste and return

March 27, 20242 yr When roverrrs used to give loads of tickets to schools years back because they couldn’t get shut of them. It always sounded like a kids party on motd.

March 28, 20242 yr Exactly. As I said above a fiver for a ticket is no incentive to me when the whole package of transport and ale is more expensive than staying at home and watching the game on WTv in the warm in my undercrackers for a tenner. And that’s for a home game.
March 28, 20242 yr Looking at the ticketing map, if you want 2 seats together looks like there are only about 50 seats left
