READING FC have frozen season ticket prices for the 2018/19 campaign.

Royals retained their Championship status for another season with a 0-0 draw at Cardiff City on the very last day.

Now boss Paul Clement is already planning for a better season next time after the club confirmed transfer funds will be available to spend.

And Reading – voted Family Club of the Year again recently – have worked hard to keep ticket prices at the same level as last season to make football more affordable for fans.

In fact, a new pricing scheme means some season tickets in every section of Madejski Stadium have even been reduced.

The cost of a new adult season ticket in the popular east stand is £395, while supporters can renew for just £375.

That price goes down to £325, or £305 for renewals, for an adult season ticket in the family section of the Eamonn Dolan Stand.

Fans aged 65 years and over can renew their season tickets from £215, while those aged between 18 and 24 years can do so from as little as £130.

Young supporters aged 17 years and under can secure a season ticket for a mere £59, while a brand new ’12 & Under’ category means they are available from £23.

Meanwhile, fans aged seven years and under get in for free when accompanied by non-child season ticket holder.

Reading Chronicle:

A new 'singing section' in the south stand proved popular.

Reading are also looking at introducing a permanent ‘singing section’ for fans in the south stand.

The initiative was introduced for the final three home games of last season and became increasingly popular with supporters as numbers steadily grew.

A Reading FC spokesperson said: “We are pleased to confirm another very affordable pricing structure for our 2018-19 season tickets. 

“The club is always looking at ways to develop their pricing and, for the upcoming campaign, have created more flexibility for families and introduced a 12 & Under ticket so that the next generation of Reading supporters are welcomed through the gates at Madejski Stadium.

"We also continue to offer extremely competitive prices for all other age groups.

“We hope to see as many fans as possible, be it your first Season Ticket or your 40th, join us at Madejski Stadium from August as we celebrate 20 years at our home.”

Fans gave until 5pm on Monday, July 2 to renew their season ticket and reserve their seat.

Season tickets can be renewed on the club’s website www.readingfcdirect.co.uk by calling 0118 968 1313 or from the Madejski Stadium ticket office.
