We have been telling people for weeks on here that you can get them for £20 each through season ticket holders. The club has been advertising it widely too.

I can't believe so many of you don't actually know a season ticket holder! 

I think a fair proportion on here are outside of Derbyshire.

I got the cheap seats, 4 of and it cost me £1 shy of £100 - and two are for under 12s!... It's not right!

Something wrong there! Got 3 adult and 2 under 12 tickets for £78 in east stand upper.

I watched their game last Friday. Looked bit disjointed so glad we play them now, not after Smith has got his message through.

Will be a tough opponent anyway, lots of quality in that team. Especially, McGinn. Runs as much as Bryson but has more quality with the ball.

[ramsbottom]

Well I'm going, so I'll apologise ahead of time for us playing crap and losing...  I'm struggling to recall the last time I've been and we've won ?

If martin wyhorn cant play then I would Mason Bennett up front with marriot I want to see those two togather.

Anybody know if you buy a ticket through a season ticket holder for the £20 price - do you have to sit by them?

No you don't, you can pick any seat (obviously as long as there isn't someone in it already ?)

Have to be honest, as a season ticket holder since 1984, I didn’t know about it and haven’t seen any information from the club about it. Not a single communication from them at all.

Looking like a full house for Saturday 

Quite a few left on the on line ticket office, and given the ticket office policy of not showing all the available tickets on line I would suggest 29-30K at present.

Villa have one major advantage for this game, their manager has already seen us play very well when his very good Brentford side were beaten 3-1 by the Rams so it will be intresting how he plays his newly acquired villa players

Although I agree with this. It also could be that Dean Smith will have a dilemma. He knows how Derby played, he also knows how he wants his team to play? So does he change what he is trying to instil (unless he believes this is the best way to contain/beat us?)

[RamNut]

Malone, Tomori and bennett in. Mount if available.

Highly unlikely to happen. 

P.s. I'd not heard of the £20 thing either.

Well, I have had an email about it, it's been on their website several times and is on Twitter regularly. I honestly don't know what more they can do.

We've also been talking about it on here for several weeks.

Hardly. People are willing to take it up,just didn't know about it.

My point is, that the information was out there!

People are savvy enough to come on here and moan about it, yet not savvy enough to read the message on the club website about the options for buying tickets to the match. It's the first place I'd look.

 

[ramjit]

The club also emails people about this £20 deal aswell..

[ThePrisoner]

I’ve had a fair few emails about it. The club has tweeted about it, I’ve seen info on the advertising hoardings before the match, there’s been posters in the ground. 

Like @angieram says, what more can they do to let people know? Call everyone up?!

[Day]

Even if you missed the emails, didn't see the tweets or read the ticket section on the club website, when you actually go to buy tickets the offer is there as well, has been since they went on sale.

I guess the club could have sent Mel round knocking on every fan with a customer numbers door, might have looked a bit desperate though.

No emails at all...nothing, so clearly no water delivered to me to drink...

Check your junk/spam box, might have ended up in there if you have signed up for the emails. I've had 2 now, one yesterday and one on the 9th October

[RadioactiveWaste]

I love how 2 days before a fairly ssignificant match the best we have to moan about is the effectiveness of the club's publicity for a subsidized tticket offer.
Can't we get back to bat guano formations and slagging off Keogh?
