Pat_fromAus Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 At 19, I have followed Derby from the distant lands of Australia through some ups and downs over the last 6 years as a fan, however this year I have the small opportunity to see the rams play for the first time, away at wigan. Never seeing the team play before I wish to be amongst those traveling to the match, in the away supporters area. So my question was, is the best way to do this to go through the official rams website ticketing, and when will tickets for the match become available? Thanks from down under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Hello mate. Welcome. Not many responses yet cos we’re all in bed (not together). Tickets will be on general sale about 2 weeks before kick off and you’ll get one no problem. Just go through the club website and make sure you set up a customer ID in advance. Enjoy your trip me owd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 You don’t get the print at home tickets for away matches so the club could post them out to you or depending where you are stopping and if you have time it may be better to go to Pride Park and buy them in person.

Pat_fromAus Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 The unfortunate reality of having only 2 days in England, thanks for the information about ticket sales though, a few other things I was wondering, what would be the best way of getting to and from the match, and also out of Wigan and Manchester, which would you fellow rams recommend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hey Pat, great you're coming over to see the lads but of all the places to visit you chose Wigan!?! They don't even speak English there fella! Enjoy the game in any case. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodley Ram Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I’m not going to Wigan but could someone meet up with Australian brother to make sure he joins up with us and has a good time at the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi @Pat_fromAus, it's true that Wigan isn't the best of places but when the Rams are in town then the appeal of the place goes up by 10 fold. Have a great day and I hope we can put on a show for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat_fromAus Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thankyou for the response my fellow rams, another question if I may, is there a place where those traveling to the match will meet prior to the game? Would be great to meet some of those going to the game before the whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Let me know if you’re not going to be able to get a ticket,my eldest is 21 and he has an away membership I can use for you if you’re going to struggle.

Pat_fromAus Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Thankyou John that’s such a kind offer, if I struggle to get a hold of a ticket I may take you up on that well for me my love for derby really started when my father who’s loyally supported the rams for over 50 years sat me down to watch derby in the playoff final against QPR, since that heart break, I can’t get rid of em.

Chester40 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Terrible game to pick! Been couple of times. Trains go from Manchester to Wigan regularly..only a few quid. Its one straight road, less than a mile or so walk from Wigan train station to the ground. Ground is on middle on a retail park with maybe one pub. Ground won't be full...tickets normally freely available. Nothing to see there...you walk past Wigan Pier (not on the sea!) and its totally missable. If you only have a day or so I would have a quick pint beforehand and go straight back to Manchester ...most fans won't be making a day of it....nothing there!! The football museum is in middle of Manchester and free....more worthwhile way to pass hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagtime Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Here’s my take coming from Brisbane. I tried talking to ticketing to see if they could hold a ticket a few years back, but they told me to buy a season ticket. Not really practical when you want just one game. I then looked at getting tickets from the away teams ticketing (Fulham) and they were a lot more helpful,but then ended up changing my travels and picking up tickets from Derby and timed my travels so I ended in London. I’d be organising to pick up the free ticket that’s on offer, a lot easier. Just make sure you shout a few pints to Coneheadjohn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
