Just bought our tickets for next week - and yes we are going, even booked the Hilton. But I know people who have bought for the away point and have no intention of going - so who gets the mpney? Reading or is the gate shared with us? |  | | |  |

The gate receipts earnings of every EFL Cup match are divided into three pots. 45% each is shared by home and away team regardless where the match is taking place while 10% goes to English FA.

It is going to be interesting to see how many we take!
At £6.50 Reading might need to give us half the ground! | |

I’ve heard from a mate that even an adult can buy a ticket as an under 18, so all in £10.50
System won’t allow an adult to buy an u13 ticket |  |

Be nice if said people could wait until they’ve been on general sale for a few days at least to give those of us that actually intend to attend the chance to get one. | | | |

I was assuming there would be plenty, but you do have a point, if they only give us 4k it might sell out before general sale if people buy for points. Will be interesting to see what happens. | |

What would have been good would have been them say that there were no points for this one after about 4000 had been sold. |  | | |

I live in Reading, am a s/t holder but not a Member. I am intending to buy 8 tickets for a group of local ITFC fans in a block when they go on general sale.
If the tickets don't get that far, because people are buying for points and not going to the match, there will be total uproar. I will be making sure I ask Mark Ashton to explain the ticketing policy and how genuine fans have been unable to attend when only half our seats are filled. |  |

For this game there should not have been points. People are abusing the system when tickets are full price so they would be all over this one. No points would have meant that only people that intended/wanted to go to the game were interested in buying them. | | | |

....a mate of mine emailed him twice about not getting his points from last season because he wasn't a GC holder, and he got one standard response from the ticket office and then a less standard response from Ashton's PA.
Both essentially said "tough crap".

...wouldn't have got points!
How would that be fair?
Can't change it from match to match. | |

If you’re prepared to go to that awful ground midweek to watch 2 reserve teams, you deserve the point imo. |  |

I have got two tickets and I am going. 
Problem is I also want more tickets for my family who want to go. Now I have to wait until they go on general sale to get more and we won't be able to sit together. |  | | |

They should’ve just gone straight on general sale as well. | |

There will be a lot of empty seats if people are buying for the points and don’t intend to go. [Post edited 22 Aug 2023 15:20]

But then why should the genuine fans who are going to the game miss out on points? This game tips me over to 20 and the next group up, why should I miss out on the point because of others not planning on going? | | | |

Looking at the seating map and having a rough count, we must have been given about 1000 tickets to start with and most of them have been sold before it's even got to 5+ members let alone STs and general sale. You'd imagine what's left will go and Reading will release another batch which will be quickly snapped up.
I know we travel well and the diehards in the higher points brackets go to most aways, but I would be mightily surprised if there ends up being that many people physically there whatever the ticket sales number says.
In that event I think the club are going to have to have a serious think about how to stop this happening as it takes the piss a bit and potentially denies people who want to go getting a ticket. |  |

I'm looking for 1 extra ticket for the Reading match for a mate who lives down that way, so if anyone has 15+ priority points and wants an extra point added to their total then DM me as I'm happy to use the customer number to get one | | | |

That is very true, but you might miss out on a future game that you want to go to because someone has bought a ticket for Reading with no intention of going to the game. Or they are buying a ticket for a future game that you want to go to just so that they can get the point. I cannot see a solution, but I do not like injustice. It makes no direct difference to me because the only game I did not go to last season was the Pizza cup at Cambridge, so I am one point off the max possible. | | | |

Would be somewhat annoying if they sold 4K and 2K turned up, leaving 2K at home on the sofa wishing they could have gone. |  |

TBF we need a drama like this for the backlash and the resulting changes to the system. | | | |
