Svlad CjelliZ175Wycombe Royal They now have more tickets to sell taking their allocation to over 40k........
I am totally OUTRAGED by this on several counts.
1. Why are Swansea allowed about 1,000 more tickets than us? 300 more was bad enough but this is a slap in the face - since we joined the football league in 1920 we have been there loyally for all but two years, 89 years in all and this is how we are repaid?
2. Why were this many tickets reserved for corporates/ the football leagues and not sold to fans in the first place?
3. If these tickets were reserved for corporates/ the football leagues but didn't sell is it the case that this is an unattractive final? What an insult.
1. Because not being located in a particularly affluent area, they have sold fewer hospitality packages than Reading have, so more tickets are available for general sale. We have more corporate customers than Swansea so we have fewer unsold to them.
2. On the scale of things it's hardly any - the Championship play-off final has larger allocations for fans than just about any cup final.
3. It's not the FL, it's the club(s) that didn't sell them.
You're looking at it the wrong way - the total number of Reading & Swansea supporters s unchanged from what it always is - all that has changed is the number being sold as part of hospitality packages compared with the number being sold on general sale. And if RFC hadn't been so attractive to corporate customer there'd have been more made available to Reading fans.
So take this whole thing as Swansea not being good at selling or attractive to corporates if it makes you happier.
