Just had an email saying members can buy tickets for £10 for the Lower Loft Safe Standing section for Reading. Its not in R Block ONLY Lower Loft.
Guessing they are trying to tempt people to try and hope they stay there.
It sits a little uneasy with me after seeing the 'backlash' on Twitter from Reading fans that we are charging them £36! |  | | |  |

Good that they're marketing it though. It should be a really big selling point. Should be ads on the tube and stuff. Affordable Championship football, in London, on a terrace, under the lights, old skooool. |  | | |

I thought the amount of people that said they wanted Safe Standing it would be full every game! The last thing I thought we would need to sell tickets for a tenner! I said a few weeks ago that there isnt that many STs sold for the Lower Loft SS section.
I agree its a good thing that they are trying to make it work but suprised it is needed! | | | |

I think more people will move there over time. They spent so long in the summer - rightly TBF I'd be miffed if somebody moved my seat - making sure everybody had a chance to renew who wanted to etc that there wasn't a lot of time to actually go about selling it and getting new people there. There are people on here, I think, who've tried a game there and liked it so much they're now moving. | | | |

Really surprised there hasn't been more of this, especially during school hols. Kids for a quid etc (I know under 8s are free)
On that theme - with Huddersfield on Saturday not using the bottom of the school end how come we haven't tried to use that for home fans? I realise there are empty sections in the normal bit but again, a bit of marketing, cheap tickets etc. Surely a tenner down there is better than no one in the other stands. | | | |

An American on the championship reddit page asked which game to come to on a visit to London out of us and Watford, and the replies saying us for the standing area cos you can't get it elsewhere were compelling and seemed to win him over, so totally agreed |  | | |

This is much better than having it empty. They should though hold back some tickets for those that turn up on the day, at maybe £15. If its advertised you will probably get groups of 16 to 18 year olds turning up who want to watch a game.
At that age I would sometimes go with a load of mates some of whom didn't even support QPR, but we could get tickets in the Loft and have a good laugh. | | | |

But what with all the 'noise' from fans about wanting safe standing, get the loft back to what it was, get the kids out, I bet the club didnt think they would have to drop tickets to a tenner to get people in. However, I I do think this will help. | | | |

We are charging away fans £36 to sit in the upper tier behind the goal all too themselves.
QPR away fans are often sat in a corner somewhere. | | | |

Just bought my £10 ticket for Reading. Looking forward to that. Haven't stood on the Loft since at home to Everton in 94 and the "Fist of White"
Incidentally, I simultaneously bought tickets for Saturday as well and talking to the box office on the blower, I only got charged the £3.50 booking fee once. Is that standard? |  | | |

There is also safe standing at the back of the away end now.
Assume it's to get round persistent standing

I didn't know that either. Do we reckon they basically had some left over? | | | |

I know, what a fantastic coincidence that they fitted in so well. Seamless. |  |

@Toast R - Yes its always £3.50 per transaction rather than per ticket or per game [Post edited 8 Sep 2022 16:20]

They need to get it filled and I think they will, it's something that i think will get more popular as the season goes on. These prices will help, you can't keep charging £30 for games against some right old shi t
We're just coming out of holiday season as well so quite a few people will have been away |  | | |

That will look good then to have one side full and the family side virtually empty. | | | |

Lots of people have moved from N block and it all looks a bit unfamiliar now but have to say I love it and it felt like old school football at the Hull game . Great banter and atmosphere . Long may it continue . | | | |

has the family stand been empty in any games this year then? Always us in the family stand that are the problem, never mind the empty seats in SA Road or the upper loft | | | |

It normally is for night games,and I can’t see this one being any different. | | | |

Possibly the fact that it was still the school holidays made a difference? | | | |

I am with Dave B here! The family side has been pretty full most games so far.
Looking at tomorrows game and again not many seats left in the family half. There are loads available in Upper Loft and more available in the Safe Standing section than the Family side. | | | |

We should be charging Reading more than £36 |  | | |
