Anyone else get these?

Just got a letter about the Crossbars Lounge taster sessions at Reading. It is apparently by "invitation only" and I've been selected.

Pre-match entry, half time entry and drinks voucher and post match entry (both prem game being show in there as well).

Fair play to the club on this one.

    One minute there is a protest march about compulsory seat moving - next thing you know it's all sorted over a few complimentary drinks.

    I guess you have to "tip you hat to the new constitution"

    :)

    I got one and I would refuse to be a member of any clique that would admit me.
  • I got complementary crossbars tickets for the Burnley game. It is very nice but not worth £230 a season imo!!

    It's 1/4 the price of the millennium bar though, is the millennium 4x better ?

    Yes.

  • Is the millenium 4 times the £230 cost of crossbars ?

    I got the invitation today as well, also haven't re-newed (yet) and sit in the North Upper.

    could be a late marketing ploy to target those who haven't re-newed yet and could be tempted into the crossbars season ticket for next year.

    I filed it .

    It's absolutely ridiculous that the club thinks it can charge £10 a game for a bar that is not used enough.

    Personally I think £10 a game is fine bearing in mind you also get a program and half time drink included in that £10

    That's my thinking, that's £7 of the entry coverd

    But if you don't usually buy a programme or share one between you and your two kids who don't drink then you are paying a big premium.

    Do they do it on a game by game basis as well?
  • I got one but not interested

    Where do the club publish the prices for the millenium ?

    It will be interesting to see what the take up is by the first day of next season. I think it will be higher than the current 200... Perhaps 3-400 which will be a good start considering the "launch"

    I still cant understand this crossbars ticket. Up until last season, i had two tickets for crossbars which i used every week. This season, i did not renew because i couldnt afford it.
    I was in a position to buy 3 this coming season, even paying for my 10 yr old son, but now the club are telling my that they have improved the crossbars experience by giving me a programme, a free drink and Bob Bolder. In return they have raised the price by an extra £130 per person on top of the price i was already prepared to pay.
    Sorry, by i just cannot see how i am going to get a good deal?
