Reading Ticket Details

[Moonchesteri]

Found these numbers and prices from last year:
Saturday April 10 - ko 5pm
FA Cup Semi-Final
Wembley Stadium
Ticket Allocation: 31,837

merely 30k. that is ridiculous, especially for a semi-final. should be at least 40k for each team.

A final would be less, i reckon about 25,000 which IMO is a joke to the real football fan. You could wait a lifetime to see your team in a cup final and miss out because the FA would rather give 40,000 tickets to suits who are not bothred about who is playing. This really needs addressing.

why should we get more then 30k when we have had less then 30k for every facup game so far? our fans obviously are not interested in the cups







































o wait its a semi so every fcker wants to go,i hope the fact iv been to every facup game so far goes in my favour when they allocate semi tickets if we make it

The idea is to make a crazy inflatable day out ala Hamburg style, im not an organiser just a messanger so dont shoot me.

Please note Seasoncard holders in Level 3 of the Colin Bell and East Stands will need to relocate for this fixture. Reading fans will occuoy the normal away section.

so we will not have a full house then, this is to make the ground look full as plenty of empty seats was on view last night in the 1st and 2nd tier. so the most cityn think we will get is about 35k

We got 36,748 against Aris so surely we will get more than that for this one, especially at those prices!

but the club dont think that we will sell out, that is why they have closed the 3rd tiers, but of course if we sell both 1st and 2nd tier then they could open the 3 tiers

[colonel_muck]

Semi against the rags would mean 50k each. Fuck me.

Nah, 10,000 each and 80,000 'corporates', many of which will be empty!

Anyone know what the actual numbers will be?

I'd imagine something like 25k each and 30k+ corporate

they are the exact figures from last years carling cup. aboslute joke. don't we have 30k season ticket holders anyway, so even they're not guaranteed. bollocks. shitting on football fans everywhere.

[lets all have a disco]

Im in.

Bought my ticket today.

[colonel_muck]

got mine too. come on lads lets pack out the ground to cheer our boys on to WEMBLEY!

[failsworthblue]

Not impressed.

Why should I have to pay £25 for me and £10 for my lad , when Level 1 in the North Stand is only paying £15 & £5!

I was told it is due to premium seating in the upper stand.

Absolute b****ks!

[ashton287]

I read from last years that there will be 12.000 who have what i'd call a wembley season ticket. Then every club in the FA get an allocation(i'd assume for staff) then all the corrupt cunts who are trying there hardest to ruin the game get tickets.

Because the FA cupis about football and not just for the fans of the finalists you know.

Scumbags.

[glossopblue]

got ours. come on you blues. early start for everyone, sing loud and proud.

Quite clear the club dont expect this game to sell out, and the pricing reflects not only that, but also that they dont want huge swathes of empty seats pitchside.

I sit in the 2nd tier, but i'll be fucked if I am paying £10 extra just to sit in my own seat when I can pay just £15 for the first tier. Clearly club club are trying to encourage the stadium filling up from ground level upwards, which I think is a pretty good idea, especially with the financial incentive they have put in place.

[stinky pete]

so sunday's game is a inflatable day

[dick dastardley]

if we dont sell out then it just goes to show we have some plastic fans, this will be a huge opportunity for us to get to a final, i bet all those watching at home would want a wembley ticket wont they??? so come on support the team and fill that ground

If they all acually buy the stuff there saying there buying, it should be awesome.

Get involved.

[stinky pete]

who will have the best inflatable .

[Hazy2]

no mention of south stand relocations, so the reading fans aren't going there. Wonder if the usual away fan allocation in the south will be for city fans? Could be brilliant, but the best atmosphere's require noisy away fans.

One game away from a first trip to the new wembley, so it should be full!

Reading have 1800 in Tier 2 and 1000 in tier 1

Is that all? Shouldn't they have about 7-8000?

And I'm sure they'd bring more than that, Notts County did.

Our allocation
Our allocation for this game will remain at 2,800, split across two tiers in the south stand. Clubs have to make their initial indication for ticket allocations when the draw for the relevant round is made, which in this case was back on 20th February, when neither ourselves nor Manchester City had been confirmed in this stage of the competition; we had to face Everton nine days later and they faced Aston Villa ten days later.

At that stage, we indicated to both Villa and City that circa 2,800 would be our preferred allocation, taking into full consideration that the game is live on television, takes place on a Sunday evening, and after analysing our away attendances at previous games of a similar nature. In the last three seasons we have taken more than 3,000 to an away game on just one occasion, Southampton away in late 2008, and for example we took 775 and 1,059 supporters to our replays at Liverpool and West Brom respectively last season, and 1,577 travelled to the north west for our play-off semi final at Burnley on a Saturday evening in May 2009.

When the deadline came to finalise our allocation on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after our win at Everton, free coach travel had naturally not been discussed and could not have an impact on our decision at that time.

Given that we have now confirmed free coach travel for all of our supporters, and appreciating that demand could potentially go beyond this allocation, we immediately approached Manchester City to investigate all possibilities. Unfortunately, after discussions took place, this was not possible; City went on sale immediately after their game with Aston Villa, and a considerable number of seats in adjacent areas had been sold to City season ticket holders and their supporters. Bearing in mind the level of projected demand from their own supporters, City are not opening the top tier on the sides of the ground, but after discussions with their safety officer it is not viable to move supporters into those areas.

Had we received a larger allocation, the club would of course have paid for free travel for those extra supporters going to the game. As it stands, with 2,800 vocal, loyal supporters behind us, we are giving the team fantastic backing and a great chance of success. The offer of free coach travel is a reward for our loyal fans and we look forward to a great atmosphere in Manchester

Wow that's a bit of a balls up from Reading's perspective.
