davenportram Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Are the lowest since 2004, which was after a couple if years in the Champinship, when the average was just over 22,000 Maybe we have just reached the point where the core fans are the only ones left and the economic climate has reduced this by 1000. http://footballbizz.com/derby-countys-remarkable-stability/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 17 k ST's Maybe 1000 away fans 3000 tickets bought? If I was an owner I'd be worried. Obvious now how many free tickets were given away to schools and clubs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffield Ram Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Personally I think the pricing is all over the price. I had a friend and his kids visiting us this weekend and they paid £28 for adult tickets yesterday. Then on the advertising boards they are doing Brighton tickets for £18! Surely it's better to get more people in the ground or are we ready to listen to "your grounds too big for you" for the next 7 months. Let's get more people in, the atmosphere is so poor at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 05/06 - 20th 06/07 - 3rd (promoted) 07/08 - 20th (relegated) 08/09 - 18th 09/10 - 14th 10/11 - 19th 11/12 - 12th A couple of seasons of 8th would do wonders . Also despite finishing 12th last season was a losing season. I think either by finishing position or by winning more than we lose people will eagerly convince themselves next season could be THE season. How many of us thought this season would be THE season? We're all really, really bored. I know I desperately look for signs we're getting somewhere. It's not easy is it. Will Hughes, FFP etc. It's desperate. If they keep playing goal music I'll start asking Huckers to get me a Hucknall season ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The demand based pricing just seems to have put all the prices up. It seems that they set a minimum price which the tickets will not go below, but that price seems to be the old face value. If this system were to function properly then any unsold tickets should be below £10 by the day before the game. The problem with that is it would annoy season ticket holders and result in fans waiting until the last minute to but their tickets. It seems to me that the demand based pricing is a fundamentaly flawed idea. DCFC cannot put their prices up at a time when the team is average at best and many fans have seen their incomes fall. Because they have, the gates have fallen. To get them back up the team needs to win more matches or the club need to sign a couple of 'box office' players or they need to reduce the prices.

Ash Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 We've stagnated as a club, or is that consolidated? Attendances reflect this. I wonder how the Friday night games will go down? Can't see them being much better than a mid week game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenbyRam Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It strikes me it is a combination of things. 1 - The football and general feeling at the club has been mid table mediocrity for some years now. 2 - There is an economic downtown at the moment, and crowds, apart from in the Premier league, are down across the board. 3 - The demand based ticketing makes it very confusing to know what price you are likely to pay.at any given moement you walk into the ticket office. Just make it simple - £15 North and South Stands, £20 East Stand, £25 West Stand. It's not rocket science. 4 - They seem to be forcing fans down the online purchase route which not everyone is comfortable with. 5 - They charge an additional £3 to pay on the day. All these factors make it less likely for floaters to want to make the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Add to that poorly advertised special offers. There were two family tickets available yesterday 2adults 2 kids £40 1adult 2kids £25 I only know because I read the "what's on at PRide Park" article put on the official site on Friday.

That actually made my eyes pop out of my head... I'm going to watch football and it feels like i'm being brought out of pocket.. It's atrocious.. So much money. If i did'nt have a season ticket the only games i'd go to would be the one's where we are in the cup and it's like a fiver 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hucknall Ram Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Use too, "eat my goal" but it didn't go down too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
networker1884 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 We've been crap for the last 4 seasons and attendances have shown that. Money is obviously another issue, but if we were in the Prem, we'd be sold out week-in week-out. Goes to show who the loyal fans are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Use too, "eat my goal" but it didn't go down too well. Because it's a proper ground with supporters inside? Derby used to be like that. £32 to watch Rams v Burnley. Cheaper to get Barcelona tickets!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper to get Barcelona tickets!!!its a "proper ground" but a lot of the supporters are staying away at the moment. Loads of **** cracking off off the field. But only £7 to get in.

Save for new car/tele/holiday/drum set or watch Derby fight for promotion/play Man United/finish 14th etc. Finishing nowhere, people don't feel like they're missing much. If money is tight they might pick and choose games when the can afford them rather than spend £800 on a couple of season tickets and make do with that car or tele for 6 more months It's those that say in the pub "why waste your money on that *****" but are there for the Forest game and so on that I'd call disloyal. Some can afford it and choose not to bother until "players start trying". Crap fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
