Final tickets

[Svlad Cjelli]

BTW, a quick LOL at the old codger who phoned that nice Mr Peach on BBCRB this morning to complain that the tickets were wrong because they were for a match between Reading & Cardiff.

Turns out they say "Reading/Cardiff" as they were printed up before Tuesday!

How many more times are we going to have to read these "superfans" whining about the composition of the crowd?

Take 22000 - "I'm embarrassed at our support, we'll be laughed at for all the empty seats"

Take 39002 - "I'm embarrassed at our support, we'll be laughed at for having so many more than our own stadium can actually hold"

Tedious just doesn't do it justice.

Officially and utterly bored by it all now.

Do you reckon Hobnob was like this back in 88 when loads of people who'd never been to a Reading game went to Wembley for the Simod Cup Final?

That's actually quite funny for you.

Touché

Take 39002 - "I'm embarrassed at our support, we'll be laughed at for having so many more than our own stadium can actually hold"

Does nothing but support the growing consensus that expansion of the stadium is required.

It's clear to see that if there were 39,002 seats available every week, the fans would be smashing the door of the ticket office in.

14,000 sold by the close of today.

I'm pitching up early on Saturday am to get mine. What time does the Ticket Office open, Saturday? 9am?

Yeah it opens 9am Saturday. I'm getting there very early a.m, I live and work in London, so I've got to get the tickets and then get back and make up the time at work ( I should have started at 6am).

If you see a shaven headed fat bloke, come say hello.

Block 236

Champers and Caviar for when we win!

[rob the royal]

Plenty of tickets available. Everyone who deserves a ticket will get one. No need to panic at all. We'll all be there!

Yeah should do.

LOLZ at the jokers on Facebook saying I'm a tout because we bought 38 tickets and that we've probably never been to a game!

It'll be looking in a mirror

The fact is we have well over 40,000 members - so we do have enough fans. Just cos all 40,000 don't go week in week out, it doesn't mean they are not fans - 20,000 may not be able to go one week, then the other 20,000 cant go the week after etc

BUT when the game is a one-off - at Wembley.........ALL those fans will make sure they are there.

No they won't.

People have member cards who have been to one game ever. No way will all 40k of them go. I bet loads of them don't even know where their member card is, or can't even remember ever going to a Reading game.

I know that, but we only need 20,000 of those 40,000 to turn up - for us to fill our allocation.

[Svlad Cjelli]

Yeah, but a lot of Season Ticket holders will be taking along people that have never been before or don't have a member card.

^^^ this +1..it's more a case of us just getting a load of tickets in the most efficient way, with minimum fuss!!! hmm...maybe not so much the later!!

I saw that!! How do they think you got the ST numbers of other people?!!

I also had to pick up some bloke on his comment that he'd be wearing the "blue and white stripes" to the game. oxf*rd pLOLastic.

[Maguire]

Almost started a windup on that RFC thread saying that the guy who bought 38 was a know tout and had also bought 38 Reading Festival tickets. Couldn't be bothered in the end though.

[TBM]

i woke up this morning in a panic - as i must have dreamt you text me saying you forgot to get my tickets

Txt sent...don't panic TBM

Although i may wind my mate up on Tuesday saying Rob has let me down and he doesn't actually have 2 tickets for him.......

Tell him that due to the number of people wanting tickets, all that was left were tickets for the beam-back to the Jazz Cafe...

[TBM]

lol - "sorry mate, i totally mis-read Robs message - they were tickets for the Jazz Cafe showing the game.....are you ok with this"

He'll be fcuked off - especially considering he's turning down 2x corportate tickets with free beer, to take the seats with us.
