Gary Teale Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I thought when they werent anywhere near sold out they were supposed to drop the prices to get rid of the tickets as its better being full and the additional revenue from food etc. they don't seem to change at all so do quite see what dynamic pricing is.

Alph Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 From what I've seen you can get to the Cardiff, Hull and Leeds games at home for like £35. You can't grumble at that. Cardiff I defo saw at £13. The problem is on matchday if the ground isn't sold out I don't understand why it doesnt drop to the lowest price again. £13. I understand that in the week building up to a game when tickets are selling it might go up to £20-25. £35 to go to Pride Park!! It's an awful ground with an mid-table championship side!

I don't think that the prices will ever drop down just before a game. The idea is to change the culture of the non-season ticket holders to buy their tickets early to get the best price.

Awful ground??? I have never had a bad seat in the place. If you are referring to atmosphere then maybe you should be saying awful supporters.

If you are referring to atmosphere then maybe you should be saying awful supporters. Awful supporters then. But I don't like the ground much either. They're all identical now. Ikea bowls with scaffolding. Liberty, Britannia, Riverside, King Prawn..... the list goes on. But I did mean the atmosphere. That's my gripe. There are no worse atmospheres than Pride Park. As bad, but none worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said if people are not buying them the prices would drop as its better to fill the ground. If pepple are buying they would go up. That's not really heppening.

PrivateDerby Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I paid £38 on Saturday, please can someone help? Do I really need to go on the internet and buy em off there in advance? Where's the fun in that Derby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the fun in that Derby? There's you paying £38 for Derby v Blackburn and those other lot paying £2.60 for a coffee. I take it back, police should carry guns.

PrivateDerby Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 We have decided not to go to PP again this season bar Leeds, Forest and Millwall as it seems cheaper to support the rams away. For someone who has always paid on the gate, I refuse to pay £38 to watch championship football and I can't stand booking football tickets on the internet. We all know away days are better, better fans, better songs, better grounds. So sod it, I'll roar the rams on away from home from now on providing I'm not working. Come on Derby!

PrivateDerby Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I would but I don't live in Derby and travelling from Stoke to PP can take up to an hour sometimes. The days expenditure - petrol, food, drinks and rip off ticket adds up. I'd rather spend it on more away trips now, pay on the gate, sing some Derby songs, go to different grounds and not hear ridiculous comments by **** thick fans. We could do with more away support anorl. If a ticket is around £25 then I don't mind phoning dodgy digonex up but other than that I'm doing the above.

Every match from now til the end of the season has a ticket priced at £25 or less. You want a cheap ticket? Buy in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose.... It just ruins my spontaneousism. Yes, I hate wasting my time on the Internet, for I am far too busy to do that caper. Oh yes. Exactly Boycie, I have to plan ahead and check my diary to come on here you know. I mean this dynamic pricing malarkey means you cant wake up on a Saturday and think "You know what, she's going her mams, I don't particularly want to so I'll go and watch Clough's lads beat whoever instead" Maybe I over reacted but it is friggin annoying 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 But are on the day prices any more this year than the past couple of years? I don't know because I never buy on the day. Has it really hindered those that can only pay on the day, or has it given a perk to those who can choose to pay in advance? Anyway important thing is Forest Home tickets now on sale - buy now and get them cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggg Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 when I got my Barnsley tickets last week they were £22 so one up a lot from the original tenner 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateDerby Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Well i'm sure I never used to pay over £30 at the very most on the gate, so far I've paid £36 for Charlton and Burnley and £38 for Blackburn. Thanks DR, I'll get them sorted today then. It seems it's the only way to buy now, I don't mind paying anything under £30 for normal games so if I can get in for £22 then I'll have to succumb to buying onliiiiine 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
