Season Tickets 2012/13

A big thumbs up to those prepared to buy when promotion was still not assured and a big thumbs down to those who only thought of renewing once promotion was guaranteed. [/quote]

For me it was a no brainer even though paying £350 just after Xmas was hard, but at least this time the loyal Royals long term season ticket holders have been rewarded.[/quote]

Long term? You only had to have had one for one season...

I think it's a little off of the club to have made an offer, and a significant song and dance about it at the time, and then pulled the offer when they realised it was going to cost them serious revenue. In terms of it being a gamble, it's akin to the bookies taking your money but not wanting to pay out if you win.[/quote]


Sorry? Do you know me? I have followed the club since 78 and have been a season ticket holder every year since we moved to the Mad Stad. I paid up in Feb becouse I would have been there whatever league they were in so oxf*rd you.

[Hoop Blah]

Who said anything about you and how long you'd been a fan or STH?

I was pointing out that although you'd said 'at least this time the loyal Royals long term season ticket holders have been rewarded' you only in fact needed to have had a season ticket for 1 season to benefit from this scheme.

One year isn't long term in my book.....so oxf*rd you.

Out of interest, do the club allow people to permanently switch seats during the season if they can find someone else who wants to swap with them?

Cheers

Or you could just sit in each others seats...

14,500 sold before general sale.

"With a high number of season tickets sold already - in excess of 14,500 - availability is very limited, especially in the east and west stands.
The only availability we have left in the east stand in a central location is on the front row, Row A.Only single seats remain in the following blocks - Upper West GU9, GU8, GU5 , GU4, Lower West G9, G8, G7, G6, G5"

[SLAMMED]

Is there a limit to how many season tickets they can sell? Otherwise surely they could potentially sell season tickets for every seat in the ground.

The south stand will remain for general sale if it comes to it.

I think we limited it to 18,000 the last time we were in the Premiership.

I am surprised more people didn't take the gamble of paying 395 once the Brighton game was out the way... Though as someone who did I am probably saying that with benefit of hindsight!
i wonder why they changed the goal posts on the number times a concession st can be upgraded to a full adult ticket from unlimited to three. When I bought two tickets with my old man they assured us his ticket could be changedto full price. You still pay the individual full ticket price so reading don't lose out...?

Yep. This. Just over 18,000 it works out as - its done on some sort of percentage system for away tickets, home general tickets etc etc but i can't remember the exact criteria

New Season ticket holders couldnt "take the gamble" though could they. I tried to book around the Soton/Brighton games time for my Godson, but it wasnt allowing you to saying new ST were not available yet, only renewals.

I think it was Feb when we bought 3 new ST's. Gamble or not we decided it was great value what ever league we were in.

I brought 2 new STs on the day of the Brighton game, 1 for an existing member and 1 for a non member in person at the ticket office.

You were misinformed. The deadline for new st purchases was brought forward from 30/4 to 13/4 (the day of the Saints game). How do I know this? My credit card shows a debit on 13/4. After the Brighton result it was a "no brainer".

[SLAMMED]

For a lot of us it was a 'no brainer' back in February when the renewals first came up.

Oh look mummy - another "I'm a better fan than you" post.

As soon as i knew i was going to be living and working back in the area i got my ST. £395 lovely jubbly

[secks]

Has anyone got one yet on the new batch, any idea of availability in the various stands?

[URZZZZZZZZ]

I was told there is decent availability in the North Stand, the East Y19 and Y26 has good availability. Very limited in the entire West Stand.

[semtex1871]

Have just renewed my ST for hospitality......an absolute steal at £1250 + VAT....
