Ticket information:

(Mid-July, 2003) It's anybody's guess where this match will take place, or indeed if it will happen at all. I reckon it's most likely to be at Selhurst Park. You do have to ask how come the temporary arrangement at the Milton Keynes hockey stadium has still not been sorted out when Wimbledon were trying to claim that they would be playing there by February last season!

(5/8/2003) Wimbledon have announced that home games will take place at Selhurst Park until the end of September, and so obviously that will include the Reading game.

(19/8/2003) Ticket news now available. Reading have an initial allocation of 1,000 that can be increased as needed. They are in the Aurthur Waite Stand (same side stand as last season) and go on sale to season ticket holders (two per ticket) from Thursday, 21st August, to STAR members (one per member) from Saturday, 23rd August, and on general sale from Sunday, 24th August. Prices are as follows:
Adults - £20
Seniors and juniors - £12
