Tickets
How to buy
ONLINE TICKET OFFICE 0118 968 1313
The Ticket Office is closed to buy in-person besides on matchdays. All sales should be made online or via the phone.
Match ticket prices remain the same for most league fixtures, but can vary for cup matches, friendly games, play-off matches and special offers.
At most matches, it is possible to buy tickets on arrival at the Select Car Leasing Stadium from the Ticket Office. However we would encourage fans to buy in advance, as in most circumstances tickets are cheaper when bought up to four hours before kick-off.
At some high-demand matches, queues at our Ticket Office on matchdays can become very long, especially on occasions where there are a large number of collections or on-the-day sales expected. Please ensure to look at the latest Ticket News for any special information about upcoming fixtures.

Families
The Fun Zone and the Kids Activity Cabin outside the Eamonn Dolan Stand boast lots of activities from two hours before kick-off, and at half-time, while there are also other things going on to keep the kids entertained in the build-up to the game.
Be on the lookout for our mascots Kingsley, Queensley and Princeley, inside and outside the ground. They will be on patrol, looking out for opportunities to give high-fives and have selfies taken.

Fan Zone
All supporters are invited to the Select Car Leasing Stadium a little earlier on matchdays to join the matchday build up in the Fan Zone. As well as welcoming Reading fans, visiting supporters are also more than welcome to join us and mingle in a friendly atmosphere around the ground.
We have a large LED screen in the Fan Zone which will help you get into the mood for kick-off by showing a selection of Reading-related content, and where applicable, we will also screen the day's early kick-off as well.
The Fan Zone is the perfect place to grab a drink and a bite to eat, chat through the score predictions and soak up the atmosphere before the big kick-off.
