The phone charges getting through will blow away any saving, I give up. I'll try and get a ticket at the stadium.
If that fails I'll try the the old "pretend to be a kitman" wheeze I remember from Saint & Greavsie.
I'm a cheapskate so £27 seems quite enough to pay.
Has anybody actually managed to get a ticket from the Reading ticket "hotline"? Seems permanently busy to me - it rudely hangs up rather than putting you in a queue. Grrr...
