Ticket Details For Fulham Away Leg Revealed

08 May 2017
By Hob Nob Anyone?

Reading will take 2,000 fans to Fulham's Craven Cottage for Saturday's play-off final first leg. Fulham, and the other sides involved in the play-offs, have stuck to the "twenty's plenty" campaign and tickets will go on sale priced at £20 for adults, £10 for concessions and £5 for children. Initial sales of tickets will go on sale tomorrow morning to season ticket holders with over 3,500 loyalty points. Sales are then tiered over the following two days for existing season ticket holders depending on loyalty points. The structure means that only season ticket holders will be able to attend the fixture with the allocation certain to sell out before being opened up to non-season ticket holders.

  • Tuesday 9 May 09:00: Season ticket holders with over 3500 points
  • Tuesday 9 May 14:30: Season ticket holders with over 3000 points
  • Wednesday 10 May 09:00: Season ticket holders with over 2000 points
  • Wednesday 10 May 14:30: Season ticket holders with over 1000 points
  • Thursday 11 May 09:00: Remaining Season ticket holders
  • Thursday 11 May 14:30: Members with over 1000 Points

Meanwhile tickets for the home leg against Fulham at the Madejski Stadium on Tuesday 16 May are already on sale to all members with over 25 points. Season tickets holders are able to purchase two tickets each and have their seats reserved until Wednesday morning. Ticket prices are the same as for the Fulham away game with adults priced at £20.

What ticket allocation can we expect at Fulham, Huddersfield or Sheff Wed .. ??

Wouldn't be surprised if we got 2,700 for Fulham (depending on what they do with the neutral bit)

Huddersfield away allocation is around 2,000

Wednesday allocation would probably be between 2,000/4,000 so plenty for everyone

So is allocation like you would get for a league game or more along the lines of a cup tie?

Worth noting Hillsborough is operating under a reduced capacity at the moment because of SYP.

 Winchester Royal

Playoff rules say 2000 or 10%, whichever is fewer. If we get Fulham we would likely be able to buy in the neutral end if we wanted, but these wouldn't be 'official' away tickets.

There will be more than enough for all possible three games to fulfil our needs.....worst game would be away for the Sunday 12 noon game

The ticket office Manager at Fulham is a Royals fan, we'll get all the tickets we want.

We're Reading. As long as we get enough tickets to fill a couple of Horseman Coaches we will be fine :roll:

The fanbase is growing then...

Looks like Sheffield Wednesday have already set prices for opponents visiting Hillsborough regardless of the opposition

Considerably cheaper than what we paid when we went up there earlier this season.

 Nameless

» 01 May 2017 20:43

They will need to charge away fans the same.
I wonder if the 4 clubs have got together and agreed common pricing ?

 RG30

» 01 May 2017 21:09

As per the STAR website in the recent management meeting with the club;

If we reach the play-offs the £20 ticket may well not apply on account of the pooled revenue sharing arrangements between all play-off clubs

 Winchester Royal

Good for them. If I recall correctly from watching them play Brighton in the playoffs last season, they didn't give a big away allocation and it might have just been the 2,000, located in the upper tier of the Leppings Lane end.

Taken from the official Fulham FC website

"There will be an extremely limited number of tickets available for away teams for their respective way legs in the Play-Off Semi Final"

Maybe the 4 clubs have got together on allocation as well as pricing.

So with it looking like we will receive approx 2000 tickets for whichever fixture, unlikely that they will get past ST holder sales? Frustrating as I am a member with 3000 points :cry:

Same here - i'm a member with 2000 points.

But I fully agree with the idea that season ticket holders get priority.

IN regardless of venue, price, date or any other variable.

Missed Cardiff away and it is one of my biggest regrets, not just in football but in life.

 jd82

IN! Preferably to Fulham so i can do it all on Oyster..

If it's Fulham and there's no real chance of getting an away end ticket, go for a neutral end ticket as soon as they go on sale.

 Readingfanman

» 02 May 2017 11:54

My guess would be neutral end tickets might need a previous sale on them for a Fulham match this time around.

 genome

» 02 May 2017 12:14

I have one 8) It's a total coincidence that my address is Reading based, of course.

 Royal_jimmy

» 02 May 2017 13:43

If its Fulham and we only get 2K then we will just pack the neutral end out 8)

We won't be giving more than half the south stand out to anyone so the allocation will be 2K for them as well.

 Royal_jimmy

» 02 May 2017 13:44



Then that eradicates the point in having a neutral end :| having said that, I have watched Fulham in the Europa league so I would be eligible in the neutral end if I can't get away end tickets

 Readingfanman

» 02 May 2017 15:00

I'm not sure they would want a neutral end if they're moving the away fans anyway though.

 John Smith

» 02 May 2017 16:16


By that, do you mean closure of the lower tier of the Leppings Lane End?

 George_

If we get Fulham:

From 9am on Monday 8th May, 16/17 & 17/18 Season Ticket Holders will be able to purchase an additional four tickets per person. At this time, Members will also be given a priority window to purchase a ticket (one per Member), before all seats are then released and made available to all Season Ticket Holders, Members and supporters with a Booking History from 9am on Tuesday 9th May.

Supporters are advised that blocks P1-P4 in the Putney End will be sold to home fans at this match, with the Mixed Area not available.

So if you don't have enough points to get an away ticket but have a purchase history with Fulham from previous games then you should be able to get sorted.

 genome

So the neutral end is not available, but presumably loads of Reading fans who have used the neutral end before will just buy tickets in those blocks... effectively making it a neutral end?

 George_

» 04 May 2017 11:18



Yep pretty much

 Royal_jimmy

» 04 May 2017 13:15

We will get a 2K allocation whoever we get in the playoffs.

If its Fulham then I expect most of us who want a ticket to miss out unless you have a purchase history at either of the respective clubs.
