Ticket information:

I missed Reading's last visit to the City Ground, which makes it the only League ground I haven't been to (apart from a couple of the newer ones). Away fans get the lower tier of the Bridgford Stand, which can hold up to 4,750. Normally, 4,125 tickets are made available, the other seats presumably being marked off for segregation purposes.

However, we have only been allocated 2,400, which go on sale to season ticket holders from Monday, 2nd December (maximum of two per season ticket), to Supporters Trust members from Monday, 9th December (one per member) and on general sale from Wednesday, 11th December. Prices are as follows:
Adults - £19
Seniors - £10
Under-16s - £10
