FA Cup 2025-26

£17!?

Seen a bit of uproar on twitter about that, but is £17 really that unreasonable? You probably have to pay that to go see Maidenhead these days.

£ 18 in advance £20 on the day

I think it is in context of what we've become used to for FA Cup pricing.

Also a huge missed opportunity to get a half decent crowd in for a game people may not be particularly interested in; can't imagine we'll have more than about 3,500 home fans for this now. Feel we could've got at least 6-7k with £10 pricing (and some attempt at getting people to go).

£17 will kill the attendance for a side badly struggling to find any sort of form. A new manager might spark interest but they’ll be otherwise doomed.

I understand it's only been a couple of days, but so far we appear to have sold 271 tickets.

That's not indicative of a good crowd.

You'd imagine there will be two (relatively) strong periods of sales - in the couple of days after they've gone on sale and (especially) the couple of days before the fixture is to be played.

I don't really understand the moaning about the ticket prices. These games run at a huge loss for the club. The gate receipts also have to be split between the away team and the FA, and add to that as the home team the club have to foot the bill for Carlisle's overnight stay.

Foot the bill for the visitors

That’s ****** ridiculous, even more *******stupid if Carlisle had to foot the bill if Reading were visiting them

Yeah, I mean we all know we need to raise more money to cover costs.

You can't even get close to 2 pints for a tenner these days, football is obviously going to cost more.

Fact is ticket prices have gone up very little in 15 odd years, whilst costs have spiralled hugely.
