Ticket information:

Millwall have divided their home games into three categories this season. At the start of the season Reading's match was placed in Category B, which means that it will be all-ticket for all fans and that the kick-off time will be such that there is at least one hour of daylight remaining at the final whistle. Millwall have also planned to build a walkway running directly between South Bermondsey rail station and the away end, but this does not yet have planning permission.

The New Den has 3,600 seats available for away fans in the North Stand behind the goal. However, for our game this might be restricted to the upper tier, which is unlikely to matter as we have never managed to fill even that. Tickets for Reading fans go on sale to season ticket holders on Monday, 3rd February (a maximum of two per season ticket) and to Supporters Trust members from Thursday,6th February (one per member). They will NOT be on general sale. Prices are:
Adults - £18
Over-60s and Under-16s - £10
