'Mog owners get 50p off the price of a ticket, and a complimentary jar of pickled cockles.

Let me get this straight - a PNE supporter who goes to a lot of away games now gets penalised on away ticket prices because he doesn't have a home ST? Have I got that right?

Well yes, in that if you have a ST you get cheaper tickets. I don't think Reading are the only ones to do this. It's not something I'd want north end to offer. I suspect a fair few of our southern based supporters will be attending this but will need to pay the higher price.
Honestly I do not understand this whatsoever. Clearly not having an ST means home games are more expensive. But now away games as well......wtf!!!!!

It is these cynical ploys by football clubs that has vaporised the walk-on, casual supporters from the game.
"How much?" is a phrase I have become used to hearing from non-football associates.
only if you throw your car keys in at the beginning of the evening
It's a strange one - looking on the Reading site, the price difference applies to non-ST home supporters and refers to members and non-members which seems fair enough. But what business is it of theirs whether an away supporter has a ST? Apart from pocketing an extra few quid I suppose. Oh well I shouldn't complain - I've just become old enough to qualify for the wrinkly discount and I can get free travel to the ground from the park and ride via the bus pass!

With only a percentage of season ticket holders attending borrow one of theirs to get a ticket, feel sure someone will give you details.

Perhaps, but without this particular pricing structure the prices would probably be £25 all round. Which would still be a decent price for very good facilities / view.
Only 8000 on their last match.
I wrote to PNE about this and got a quick response from the Ticket Office Supervisor. It appears that Reading have this offer for their own supporters for this game and therefore have to offer it to away supporters. As it happens I think £25 is very reasonable, but there is no doubt in my mind that the Football League need to sort out away ticket pricing because it is a shambles across the board.
Yet many of our fans complain about paying £24 at Deepdale, seems a bit strange.
Many of our fans use anything as an excuse to not attend Deepdale. The pricing, as you suggest, is fine.
