Reading attendance or tix sold

[Luke93]

"Attendance" of around 26K, but I expect only 20K bums on seats.

 

[Quinney]

16,850 is my guess.

 

[Jim D]

"Attendance" of around 26K, but I expect only 20K bums on seats.

Why would you do that when you'd only have to pay Reading a percentage of the gate money on the higher crowd?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Reading fans without tickets can phone our ticket office for a seat or turn up in person at the ticket office before 2pm for POTD

With my stand selling 2000 plus a few walk ups (depending on weather) I'm going to say 23,488

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Bozza's "c. 20,000" from a sauce sounds about right. If most of those actually attend then it shouldn't be too different from the normal crowd. If there are spaces in WSU then those are less visible too.

That would be more than a little surprising.
Dependant upon weather my guess would be a tad over 20K tickets sold with a smidgeon under 20K in sttendance

It doesn't make any difference whether 1 person or all, say, 21,000 people turn up. What we have to pay Reading is based on receipts. Cold hard cash banked (less allowable expenses). Not turnstile clicks.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Reading get 45% of the net gate receipts.

 

[Wilka]

All 1901 tickets will count even if they don't show up though I guess

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

26K or there abouts I think.

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Reading get 45% of the net gate receipts.

Net of what?

 

[nwgull]

"Attendance" of around 26K, but I expect only 20K bums on seats.

Law of averages says that there'll be a few hundred who don't turn up due to illness, family emergency etc., but people aren't going to buy a ticket for 1 specific game if they're not going to actually use it. I reckon 23.5k.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I was talking with someone from the club late this afternoon, and they were saying we are still on track for c20,000.

Is that 20k tickets sold?

That would be great if the ticket line where actually open!!

Will Reading get 45% of the 1901 receipts, or as the FA Cup games are freebies for the prawn sandwich brigade does a bit of creative accountancy come into play by Mr Barber? #FFP

 

[Gwylan]

We were going on a family trip today but as my daughter's not well, I'm going to the game after all. Just booked my tickets and had to wait quite a time, due to large volume of calls. Perhaps there's some interest in the game after all
