Great additions

British Bandsman owner, Rob Tompkins told 4BR: "I'm really pleased with the options that have been made available at Reading Town Hall — the discounts are a great addition to the ticketing options.

The £6 ticket for under 18's is a great price for the concerts and offers the opportunity to bring in a younger audience with the 2.00pm concerts offering a real family friendly programme of music.

The group booking discount of 20% gives bands a 'band trip' option and the discount offer adds yet more value."
