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

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

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.

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

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

RG30 Worth noting Hillsborough is operating under a reduced capacity at the moment because of SYP.

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

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.

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?

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.

Hi, can someone clarify what's going on at Hillsborough at the Leppings Lane end. Would the lower tier be available potentially, should we play them?

The clubs all have an agreement to offer no more than 2k to away fans and the upper tier holds 4k+ as far as I know.
The lower has 2,400 ish so we might be housed there. Why do you ask?

Last year Brighton had the upper tier of the Leppings Lane with the first 10 rows or so netted off. Wednesday fans were in the lower.

Crystal Palace had the whole end for that crucial relegation match a few years ago so I wondered if the demand were there from us if we could have it. Although someone earlier in the thread mentioned it being shut for safety reasons? I haven't seen it open all season even for any of the Yorky teams

Where did this spiel come from? I'm presuming it's from FFC?

Expecting about 2500 tickets for the Cottage, expecting RFC to announce their official allocation and selling thresholds by close tomorrow at the latest.

Reckon this will be sold out to ST holders within a couple of days.

EFL Playoff rules state that the away team has a right to claim 2,000 tickets or 10%, whichever is lower.

I've only got about 2200 points. I'm a ST holder. Fingers crossed they're still available when I'm eligible

Yeah on Fulham's website. Normally the smallest allocation is 2,700, but 2,000 has been mentioned a lot.
