Angry Ram Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hotel is cheaper than the ticket. Go8n* to make a weekend of it. The missus can go shopping whilst myself and little Angry will partake in 90 mins of calling Man Utd robbing ******** in Chinese. I see there is a new craze of having a dump on a seat... Might get little Angry to give that a go as well. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope those who do go boycott every other aspect of income for ManU. Yep I expect Sky Sports subscriptions to be down by 5500 come January!

Rev Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I'm going to make a few days of it too. Stopping Salford quays, so will take in the Lowry and the IWM museum while up there. The only thing I'll spend in the ground is a penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday 3pm KO and £30 tickets I would imagine Derby would possibly have asked for more tickets. The club has agreed this allocation with Manchester United following careful consideration of factors including; date and time of the tie, transport arrangements for our supporters and the pricing of tickets set by the home team. We have also sought the views of supporters’ representatives during this process. Pretty much as I tweeted yesterday in fairness as above. Had a chat with the club as did a few others, if anything to gauge opinion. Wasn't obviously regarding the pricing as only Man United have a say in that, it used to be that both of the clubs had to agree on a price but that has changed this year. Good article on the FSF website that I tweeted the link too. Unfortunately the Friday night date and pricing of the game meant that it would be a crazy decision to take a higher allowance. Not sure if many of you know but sometimes when the away club accept tickets from a home club you are effectively buying them. Don't sell them and you have to pay. Can be very costly to any club so wise of Derby to accept this allocation as I think the allocation will allow everyone that wants to go a ticket. As crazy as it is big clubs like United can pretty much charge what they want. They have the demand. Pretty sure they also have a policy where you have to buy your seat so they are not going to go down the route of charging an affordable amount for fans. Hopefully next season we will only be paying £30 eh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Does anyone think this will sell out? If so do we still get about 40% of the gate receipts? If so it wouldn't be a bad earner for the club. I know it isn't great for the fans but we could effectively get 40% of 70002 londoners money @ £45 an adult.

They have so many fans on stand by for prem tickets that people will go to any game available.

Never mind a prestigious tie against the mighty rams My neighbour is a season ticket holder and Utd have his bank details and automatically send him a cup ticket and deduct the cost of it from his account. If he doesn't want to go he has so long to inform the club or they send him the ticket. If he can't be arsed to go he usually sells it to a mate. I am not sure how much his ticket is I might ask him to see if his is cheaper. I don't think he wants to go either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just wondering how many people who say they are not going because it’s 45 quid, would have actually gone if it was 25 quid.?? Easy to be principaled if you have no intention of turning up in the first place. Anyone who says I’ve been to 6/8 away games this season but not going to this, due to the cost have a valid point. But if you’ve not been away all season, perhaps just using the 45 quid as another excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's generally the rule Cannable with league games hence why some times we take smaller allocations at first and then it rises depending on how they sell. Some years ago this wasn't the case and full allocation was just offered. Presume it will be the same for the cup yes. I know if we had the extra allocation we would have definitely lost out on them if they were not sold hence offer not taken up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrowRam Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I’m going to try and get tickets for the game. The wife told me it’s part of my Xmas present. Not a season ticket holder so I’ll be at the back of the queue. I paid £40 when we played Utd at pride park. It was worth every penny for that feeling when George Thorne scored. A mate at work is a Utd season ticket holder and has offered me a couple of tickets in the Utd end. Think that will be the last resort if I don’t manage to get in the Derby end. Premier inn booked it’s on St Lawrence quay hope it’s a sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
