That Friday Feeling
3 veesinarow :|

We only qualified for the final less than 18 hours ago.


:|

17 hours 'til tickets on sale

"Initial" ticket news went up within minutes of the final whistle. Fair play for that.

Swansea tickets (3 per STH btw) went on sale today so whatever TicketZone procedures need communicating are already in place.

I have lots of people to liaise with and need to let work know if I'm coming in tomorrow morning - a little bit of notice would be appreciated.



It's all about you, isn't it? 39000 tickets to sell and you need telling first.

Thursday 19th May and on Friday 20th May:
Season ticket holders can purchase tickets, one season ticket required for every two tickets purchased.
There is no maximum number of tickets per transaction, for example you can buy four match tickets when using two season tickets, six match tickets when using three season tickets and so on. If buying in person, you do not need to physically have all season ticket cards on your person, you simply require each customer number, name, address and postcode. If buying online or by phone you simply need those same details to hand.
As our most loyal supporters, season ticket holders are guaranteed the opportunity to purchase a ticket during this time - availability in individual categories will depend on demand. Both 2010/11 and 2011/12 season ticket holders can buy in this period.
Purchases can be made as follows:
• In person at Madejski Stadium between 9am-9pm on Thursday 19th May and 9am-9pm on Friday 20th May.
• By phoning TicketZone on 0844 249 2011 between 9am-9pm on Thursday 19th May and 9am-9pm on Friday 20th May.
• Continuously in the TicketZone online ticketing service http://www.ticketzone.co.uk/reading.cfm from 9am on Thursday 19th May through to 9pm on Friday 20th May.

jetsetwilly Apologies if this is already up, but it's well worth getting down to the ticket office to avoid the ridiculous booking fees.

Category 1 £98.00 / £49.00 concession** subject to booking fee £4.50 / £3.25 per ticket
Category 2 £76.00 / £38.00 concession** subject to booking fee £4.00 / £3.00 per ticket
Category 3 £64.00 / £32.00 concession** subject to booking fee £3.75 / £2.50 per ticket
Category 4 £52.00 / £26.00 concession** subject to booking fee £3.50 / £2.25 per ticket
Category 5 £36.00 / £18.00 concession** subject to booking fee £3.00 / £1.75 per ticket

Plus a £1.75 transaction fee.


Official website says £2.95 booking fee per ticket with a £1.75 fee (for registered post) / transaction.

Not that bad TBH.

Slick.

Can this lot be trusted with my CC details?

Could have put up "please come back tomorrow" holding page at least.

• When buying at Madejski Stadium, it is only possible to buy according to price category, it is not possible to select a block, row or specific seat. Tickets at Madejski Stadium are being sold by price category, in an anti-clockwise direction from north to south. Sales are taking place in this manner to ensure the fastest possible service. If you wish to try to select a specific block or row, you can do so when purchasing through TicketZone either online or by phone. All of TicketZone's blocks will be available from the moment sales begin. Availability will differ, of course, depending on demand.



So basically if you queue up you'll be sitting at the very front :x

Not necessarily - you may be at the back of the most Northerly block in your category:

Svlad Cjelli Can I suggest that a "singing area" be blocks 132-135 - lower tier, centre behind the goal?


In for Ticket Zone online & Block 133!

Question for those with access to the web chat - if you have a concession ST, do you have to get 2 concession seats or can you use it for 1 concession & 1 adult (or even 2 adults)?

Not my quote, but that would be my interpretation, too.

If you're an ST holder then surely it's going to be harder to get the seats right behind the goal, we'll end up getting the seats north of the goal, if they're selling them in blocks from left to right? :|
