blackNwhites Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Pretty sure I've seen statements from DCFC saying they sold out ages ago and for fans not to go to the ground. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 These have been returned. Which means they've been bought but not picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Frustrating that considering I went down and was told there were 10 left but would only be sold to registered members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenbyRam Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 They will be the £100 corporate ones. Burger at Igors, coach and match ticket. Meanwhile, some of us that went to over 15 away games last season but weren't prepared to pay £39 for an away membership had to stay at home. Shame on DCFC.

Made an awful lot of noise those 4 thousand Derby fans in the 'home' area, also managed to get quite a bit of yellow on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few of my mates were in the burton end last night. They couldn't believe how nasty the atmosphere was. Said there was loads of derby all over the ground but they didn't dare show themselves. I didn't think it was like that at burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 There was a row of four empty seats behind us so not just the corporate ones. Also spoke to someone at ground who had got a ticket because he was on the waiting list but his mate didn't. These must have been very late returns by the fans for them not to be re-allocated by dcfc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame is one word.....I can think of a few others. Like you I did 18 away games last season on top of my ST and didn't even get a chance to buy a ticket. I was gutted to miss out and so were plenty others I know. If there had been unlimited tickets available for this game how many do you think we could have taken? We had nearly 4000 at Barnsley, somewhere we've been loads of times, and it was 28quid a ticket. Burton's a local derby, a game most of us thought we'd probably never see, and only 20quid to stand on a terrace. I'd have thought we could have shifted 5000 tickets, maybe even double that. Fact is, the ground barely holds 6000, tickets were extremely limited and all the club had to do was have a system in place to make sure the 1600 tickets went to Derby fans who really wanted them. To send over 100 back is shocking. For a game like this you might expect a handful of returns, but over 100? Unless anyone has seen any different the word out of the club for over 2 weeks up to the day of the game was 'it's a sell out,do not travel.' It was only down to Burton Albion sending out a tweet a couple of hours that it became clear that some tickets were available on the night. I hope some fans managed to hear about that and got down there in time to get a ticket. Most wont have because if you want to hear about Derby County tickets for a Derby County match you'd expect to hear about it from er, Derby County.....not Burton. Anyway, people are probably thinking if you missed this game you were probably lucky..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the fault of 100 'fans' who parted with £35 or so for the privilege of having first dibs at Forest and Burton tckets, paid for said Burton tickets then couldn't be bothered to make the effort to go to the game and returned them at the last minute or just didn't bother to turn up to collect them - presumably because we had been pants in the previous games. If I had paid for a ticket, then I would most definitely expect the club to retain said tickets until I chose to collect them. Of course, being a decent person, if I decided that I couldn't go, then I would make sure that the club was aware of the fact and could then sell them on to someone who could go. The fault most definitely lies with the 100 or so privileged, self-entitled fair-weather away member half-fans who suddenly had to wash their hair that night.

Does anyone know the reason they were returned?! Calling other fans without any facts seems over the top. You seem to hate anyone criticising the team yet willing to jump on any fan who doesn't have the exact same mindset as yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand a dozen or so returns, people do have reasons for not being able to go, but 100? All in one go? Come on, something fishy went on here. Probably, the club kept 150 or so for a corporate jolly to make some money, didn't sell them all due to the rip off cost and then for whatever reason forgot about them, or didn't make them available to fans on the waiting list.

I agree, also fans not collecting tickets wouldn't be an issue would it?! They've already been paid for, not the clubs to return at that point so doubt that was an issue. The corporate deal seems the most likely cause to me, few takers as cost to Burton travel wise is minimal and a burger and a ticket not worth £100 is it. So I'd be more inclined to blame the club than the fans, although doubt will know the reasons so is all conjecture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which scenario is more likely to be total guesswork? 'Probably' implies that there is a greater than 50% chance of something happening. Therefore, there is a greater than 50% chance that you are accusing the club of under-the-counter shenannigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
