There is no cap at present, although there is a push from fans to cap tickets at £20. Reading offer away clubs the option of a £20 max price providing the away club reciprocates when Reading play at their place. The BFC Supporters Group have asked our Club to consider taking up the offer but we haven't received a response yet from the Club.

There is a move from Championship club reps at the FSA to try and force a cap of between £20 and £25.

I’ll try to keep an eye on things as tickets start to go on sale for early games to see what prices each club are charging.

Reading have been admitting away fans for £20 since 2016 but their fans have been charged more at most away games so this season Reading have confirmed they will continue but only if the opposition club are prepared to reciprocate for the return game.

As Leisure has said, Burnley FC Supporters Groups have asked our ticket office but, as yet, have had no response.

Last time we were in this division, Hull charged us £16 while Leeds charged us £37 (£42 on the day).

If you went to every away game that season and bought an adult ticket in advance it averaged out at just over £29 per game.

I really loved away days. But it’s probably a bit to expensive now for me. I’d be picking and choosing these days.

Others over £30 in 2015/16 were

Ipswich £32.50
Derby £31 (although £28 in advance)
Blackburn £34
Middlesbrough £32
Hull £33
Sheffield Wed £33
Huddersfield £31


I’d mentioned Hull at £16 but that was in the previous season in the Premier League.
