One of Huddersfield Town’s Championship rivals are to charge a maximum of £20 for visiting fans this season.
The news comes from Reading as they announced matchday ticket prices for the Madejski Stadium.
The Football Supporters Federation launched a ‘Twenty’s Plenty’ campaign in recent years, designed to limit adult away ticket prices at stadia across the country.
And in recognising and rewarding the amazing contribution that fans make to the atmosphere at all EFL grounds, Reading have backed the Twenty’s Plenty campaign for visiting supporters in 2016-17.
This season, travelling adult fans who are season-ticket holders or Members at their clubs, will be able to watch their team take on Jaap Stam’s Royals for just £20.
“At Madejski Stadium, we have always aimed to make football as affordable as possible for supporters of all ages as we recognise the considerable commitment fans make to our club,” explained Reading commercial director Adam Benson.
“In union with a considerable reduction in Season Ticket prices in The Eamonn Dolan Stand this season, we have decided to lower the cost of matchday tickets, offering advance members ticket prices for adults at £20 for 2016-17.
“And by also capping the price of advance away tickets bought by all travelling members and Season Ticket Holders who visit our South Stand this season, it will be more affordable for away supporters to come to Madejski Stadium. We expect and encourage other clubs to follow our lead, allowing Royals fans to also benefit from reasonable ticket pricing when they journey up and down the country this season and beyond.”
Town, of course, have had tremendous support for their £179 season-ticket offer and are guaranteed to be playing to much bigger crowds in the Championship following the sell-out attendance for the Shankly Trophy match against Liverpool.
