66DD I can't believe that the ticket office is not open tomorrow. Those real fans who have eschewed the commercialism of season tickets and member cards and have waited patiently until tickets go on general sale are now snubbed by the club, unless they are prepared to abandon their prinicples and purchase from Ticketzone. It's outrageous.


I think a lot of it is that there are relatively few tickets left - so having two outlets open means having to split them and try to guess what the demand would be at each one - would probably end up with a queue of people at the club with no tickets left whilst they're still being sold on the phone/web.

Yeah, it was through TicketZone, so not Reading FC's fault entirely! But how long did they know of this cock up, as they said as soon as they saw the error they put some tickets to the side to sort this out...

I don't mind someone sat on my lap as long as she's hot.

I don't understand this, I thought ticketzone were only selling tickets in certain areas which were different to where the club were selling them? Or are they saying ticketzone sold them twice over. I'd go oxf*rd mental if our tickets were double sold. :twisted:

Cant see why the ticket office isnt open tomorrow for general sales, especially as time is running out.

I think we will sell out tomorrow but, if we didnt, then people would only be able to buy them up till Thursday as they have to be posted out. Maybe on Friday tickets would be on sale at Madejski Stadium?

Anyway, overall credit where credit due, the club has done a good job in distributing the tickets

The club said they had been sold twice by ticket zone as details were not being refreshed quick enough. Once the club realised that there had been an error with TicketZone, the club then put aside some of the tickets they were selling (If I understood the guy on the phone - bare in mind I was fuming at this point).

Sorry the other comment wasn't aimed at you RL!

I'm pretty sure the reason the ticket office isn't open tomorrow is due to the major cock up with tickets and selling them twice, therefore having to apologise to fans and find replacement seating...

Like they just did in a phone call to me :x

Svlad Cjelli If you're not already away of it, there's an analysis of teh ticketing option on thetilehurstend.co.uk

http://thetilehurstend.co.uk/2011/05/21/ticket-system-of-a-down/


Just as a follow up, we've fired off emails to ticket zone and to the club asking for any comments they may have on the process. We'll post the responses as soon as we get them.

Mat22 Just had a call from Reading FC saying that the tickets we had purchased on Thursday had been sold twice.... Have now had to purchase alternative seating. The seats previously purchased were block 133 row 39 and now, I think we are somewhere up in the gods.

How the hell does it take to Sunday evening to work this out?

So even with email confirmation saying where I am sitting.... looks like I am no where near there!

A little message to everyone.... make sure you actually have a ticket!

Another massive cock up by Reading FC / That s**t ticket website

Not a happy Royal!

.....
