reading tickets selling fast {merged}

there going like hot cakes, looks like they will be gone in a couple of hours

Even by City standards this is an epic cock-up, and will be even worse if they now decide they'd rather sell tickets to away fans rather than maximising the home support.

Whi is Citys cock up - Reading said they couldn't sell more than 2,800 - I'm surprised they've sold that many - according to their own website they have on'y averaged 600/800 aways fans all season.

Agreed and there is no point City opening up 3rd level until they sell out of Level 2.

City have done nothing wrong.

It is the fans fault for not turning up in earlier rounds and I understand City thinking 37k would be enough seats given Reading were only bringing 2,800 as we only pulled 25k last time out.

It's City's cock-up because of the way they seem to make it as awkward as possible for our fans to get tickets where they want for this match, from closing 25% of the stadium to trying to flog hospitality packages to people who want to sit in a group when there are 11,000 empty seats.

 

[Fallingbostel Blue]

Just over 300 seats left, only block 233 left in blue. Must see level 3 open for sale tomorrow surely!!!!

 

[fathellensbellend]

try reading, instead of jumping in.

Can't do due to where the away coaches are etc. Club have said that at umpteen fans forums.

Poznan game was different. 3rd tier east stand was polish neutrals apparently

its a sad day when fans of another team cannot walk 100 yards to their buses.

city could easily open the end spiral up to them, close the front 3 rows, and give them some tickets up there.

the excuses are pathetic, yes reading made a mistake with their request, but it's not a mistake set in stone because there are in excess of 10000 empty seats still available and all in the same sections so segregation isnt an issue, but could be if reading fans buy tickets in the home end (which i have no problem with, its a football match nothing more nothing less).

 

[Leicester_royal]

Looking on a Reading forum, they are going for NS L2 tickets now, can hardly blame them

good on them, the club wont give us what we want so the fans watch on tv, might aswell let the reading fans watch the match

You are spot n Marco,

The Reading fans have been pleading with the club for more tickets, get level 3 open reserve a section for about 1,500 Reading fans and let's have a full house!

City say it is the police that decide what can and cannot be done.

Say what you want but we are governed by their rules and it is too short notice to change plans because of a Reading cock up.

DO you know what is pathetic. City fans using it as an excuse to knock their own club.

When our "loyal" fans decide to come to this game as opposed to the last two rounds that they couldn't be arsed to and we sell the 36,000 currently on sale, then ric has been told City would open level 3. Until then, there ain't too much to complain about.

 

[im_still_here]

cant be arsed with reading fans near me, no offence i just dont like being with an opposite fan when we are playing them :)

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

if we owned the stadium could we decide what to do with the away fans?

just don't see why the police can tell us what to do with our own building.

No offence taken, if I had the choice I would sooner not be sat next to you.

Are you serious?? The police can dictate what happens at EVERY football ground.

a bloke has just been on here wanting 5 tickets for his family and the ticket office has refused a sale because they said sorry no tickets together, complete toss why isnt that 3rd tier open when there are only 200 seats left in the ground for sale

 

[Danny St.helens CTID]

Just makes me laugh that when there's a worry of no tickets left for a big game people blame the club, if you had been there for all or most of the cup games then there would be no complaining would there, watch it on tv Like the other rounds

don't you feel city are more interested in selling the 25 pound tickets than actually getting bums on seats.

if we open tier 3, i will have a sporting bet with you the price will be the same as tier 1.

your points are valid, and i have no desire to fall out with you, but it hasn't been managed very well to my mind.

i dare bet, regardless of sales from wed-sat we will also have a large walk up crowd sunday.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Right some facts ned to be stated here.

Fact 1. Reading only requested 2,800 tickets and they probably didnt think they would sell out.

Fact 2. Cup games this season have been poor crowds hence the fact City have said that level 3 wilol only be open if demand exists.

Fact 3. If the demand exists levels one and two would have already sold out.

Instead of bashing our own club we should be ensuring that we maximise our fan base and not give Reading another 3,000 tickets. If you want to moan and complain speak to the right people at the club not air your incorrect views on here.

Online shows 5 together in a few positions.

Why doesn't he go on there?

Or he could wait and hope we open it.

As I say, its the fans fault for coming in earlier rounds and I wouldnt be gutted if some of them missed out.

Pmsl

So it's our fault then?

If level 3 tickets are cheaper than level 2 for this game - I will be the first to attack the clubs policy but I cannot see that happening.

I could be wrong though I hope I am not.

Level 3 is amongst the dearest tickets for league games and I am told the view is lovely so I can't see why it would be at Level 1 prices.

 

[foley87]

only 286 seats left on level 1 and 2

it will be very embarrassing getting bashed for having 11k worth of empty seats in a game that could see us go to wembley
