Rev Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 At least with Boro the trains an option. Try getting a train back from Leeds on the 29th! Last train back is 9.48pm, makes it too tight with 7.45 ko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be drinking there and Valley Bar which has 100 Belgian beers about 20-30% cheaper than the Brewery Tap Paid £26 for return train tickets from Belper for me and the lad. We were going to go to the Valley Bar last week, but it was chucking it down so we stayed in the Grand Hotel (which is a very tired old place we won't be visiting again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think, wouldn't you, that if our ticket prices are so outrageous, then our gates would be lower as people vote with their feet - yet not only do we have the highest gates in the division, we also have the highest percentage of seats sold this season by some distance. You seem to be singling Derby out for 'special treatment' - yet our prices are no higher than many other Championship clubs, and cheaper than some.

Rev Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Look at Barnsley away a few seasons ago at Twixmas, £10 notes a ticket and 6000 are sold, with plenty of demand unable to get a ticket. 20's plenty deserves to succeed, I wouldn't moan about paying more than away fans if I knew I was to receive the same deal in return, which I guess is the point.

In fact, we seem to be very much 'middle of the road'. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/sep/03/championship-ticket-prices-52-pounds-game Eddie, our attendances are generally good due to the 23,000 or so season ticket holders. This leaves 6000 or so paying spectators of which one game only attracted 3600 paying spectators. Apart from the vast number of different options I believe our ST pricing to offer good value. My personal ticket works out around £16 per game which is value for money. I agree entirely that a club should maximise its ST base at the expense of match day games. Where I disagree is what prices are charged for individual games. Do we need to charge £30 plus for some matches? No we don't, I get why we do it, we are a business and there is supply and demand. One of my points though is since Mel has come in and been prepared to open his cheque book more, I'm saying it would be a nice touch, even a legacy if something could be done to offer lower prices for DCFC fans and then also gain a reputation for charging sensible/good value match day tickets. Always been impressed with places like Preston, Blackpool, Brum this season who don't exploit the fans. Economies of scale will work for one off games (Barnsley away 6000) but wouldn't work long term. There would be an increase though and the club should maximise match day income in other areas through a higher gate. Twentys plenty is a campaign I have signed up for. Wouldn't it be brilliant if we could become a pioneer by invoking it. As for the report on pricing that came out a few months ago - DCFC got a lot of credit for the ten pound ticket. The wrong question was asked. It should have been what minimum price would you have to pay for a ticket that would guarantee you a ticket for any home game. The answer would be in the thirties. Exactly how many games a season are there ten pound tickets for. In the whole, of the 24 teams in the Championship, the fact we lead the stats with seats taken per game at 87% is more to me a sad indictment of the Championship. Leeds and Sheffield Wed sit at 58% and 52% respectively. They are killing their long term support base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a word with yourself. So you haven't bothered reading about Swansea. Fair enough. Yes Mel has rejuvenated the club. That's not a discussion, because we are both of the same side. Bigger point - ridiculous ticket prices overall. Bigger point - Derby are culprits in the ridiculous ticket prices. Smaller point - A booking fee is a take the pi$$ and exploit the fan, and make a couple of grand of away ticket sales. Suggestion made - the club/Mel supporting fans by subsidising away tickets. I'd prefer it to a free scarf, it would be a legacy, it would REALLY put his name out there on the map (Not saying it isn't already) and my point about his money is that he seems very ready to chucking it towards player transfer fees, what would be wrong with chucking a bit back at the fans? And now of course because you have read up about Swansea and stopped being lazy, what they have done cost in the region of Bradley's left arm...£300k.
