26-27 Season Tickets

[Clyde1998]

Hadn't realised the close of renewals would prevent anyone from purchasing season tickets online, so I don't have a final number at the point of closure.

My estimate was 5,926 at 16:00 yesterday. Based on progress in the final few days, we probably ended up with around 6,200-6,300 after the renewal period (give or take a hundred or so).

Is it posted anywhere how many we had last season?

It was shy of just under 9k.

My estimate using the same method was 8,818.

Some points about that:

1. Uses the online seat map, which doesn't include disabled or hospitality season ticket sales.
2. Seats which are clearly not being sold aren't included in the estimate (such as segregation; rows in front of disabled bays; sections reserved for the children's half-time penalty shootout; etc). Just under 2,700 seats fall into this category.
3. Obviously only the club will know the true figure.

Couhig said at one point we'd sold more than 9,000. I'd say that's very plausible, given I can't include disabled bays and hospitality seats in my estimate. Those could easily be an additional 200-400 tickets.

We're basically looking at about 70% of last seasons sales though among 'standard' seats.

Pissed off with myself for renewing again. I hate Richardson's football and wanted to vote with my feet

But loyalty and being a part of it sucked me in. It's the issue with supporting your team, your heart wins over your head.

I'll post back here after our first game saying how much I regret the decision

P s. I completely get those not renewing

[RG30]

Movers section now open.

I get the loyalty bit but I feel the clubs lost it’s soul especially now it’s been taken over by Americans.
I couldn’t bring myself to renew because I feel it’s no longer the Reading FC I can relate to and I know I’m not alone in thinking this way.

Of all the owners of late it was this one that's tipped it for you?

Yeah, think the hatred of Couhig is a bit weird, unironically the best owner since Madejski, which yeah in a way is oxf*rd sad but Couhig et al are leagues above the previous three.

Nowhere did I say I hated Rob Couhig. I just feel the club doesn’t feel the same anymore and don’t like the way they have got rid of quite a few employees that have served the club well over the years.
Don’t get me wrong I respect Rob for saving the club but the American way is just not for me.

Wasn't targeting you with my comment, there is plenty of hatred aimed at Couhig et al.

So with the seat map back online, I can update my estimate.

Seems a very large amount of people waited until the final day to renew, as the number I've got now is 7,090 or 80% renewing (at least 80% of the 2025-26 total sales at the renewal deadline).

Basically mirrors the poll on here from a few weeks ago: viewtopic.php?t=192993

Can't imagine anything more than a drip feed of sales from here.

How many half season tickets were there? If we typically sell another 20-25% then, then we're probably on track year on year - but that seems pretty punchy.

They didn't sell half season tickets last season. Can't imagine they will this season either, as they'll just tell people to buy a subscription.

just FYI, it allowed me to purchase at the renewal price a minute ago, for anyone else who forgot yesterday.

Totally agree, it's the American way that doesn't sit right with me, I only renewed out of stupidity and loyalty also. The 'Reading way' has well and truly gone.
For example, hate the fireworks stuff, I mean it's just embarrassing.
We're in league one FFS, playing in front of over a half empty stadium.

Good update from the chairman via email this morning I thought.

[Zammo]

^ agreed. Its the negativity from our so called fans that's getting me down this summer. Just let the chairman and manager get on with it. If we end up sacking Leam in October, then so be it but that's football innit.

I agree a lot of the stuff on X is enough to make you miserable. I'm not sold on Richardson, and Rob has been a lot of words but think we should give them a chance to put things right.
