ram59 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I've just noticed that Fleetwood have announced that they're selling home tickets right up to kick off. Surely this is not a good idea when the away allocation had been sold out, it'll just tempt away fans to turn up on the day and try to get a ticket in the home end.

TooFarInToTurnRed Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Talking to a guy I work with in the 15+ category and he’s now buying tickets for every away game whether going or not just to keep up his priority for next season. If not going then he sells them on. This could explain why had 2 empty seats next to me at Shrewsbury. So for anyone trying to work out which games will have allocation remaining might need to keep this in mind as doubt he’s alone in this. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the away members with 0 games (actually 4 games) bracket but I still see plenty of opportunity for tickets. Our aim is to get to at least 5 games and move up the priority order for next season. I would say the below chances applies to general sale as well as bottom rung away members. Charlton - got tickets Mansfield - didn't get tickets Shrewsbury - didn't get tickets Fleetwood - didn't get tickets Morecombe - little chance Lincoln - no chance Cambridge - little chance Accrington - little chance Mansfield - possibly, novelty factor gone Ipswich - good chance due to distance MK Dons - 100% anyone wanting a ticket will get one Portsmouth - good chance due to distance Burton - no chance Bolton - good chance, good allocation and xmas Port Vale - good chance on allocation Cheltenham - little chance Plymouth - good chance due to distance Wycombe - possibly Barnsley - good chance on allocation Oxford - possibly Peterborough - good chance on allocation Forest Green - little chance Bristol Rovers - little chance Exeter - maybe, distance and night game but no chance if promotion is possible Sheff Wed - good chance on allocation So I have little chance of going to any away venues I’ve never been to before. Which was one of the few attractions of us being in League one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was bound to happen, people are free to do what they like which ever category they find themselves in, but there are absolutely no guarantees that the same system will be used next season.

Grumpy Git Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) I wish you’d posted this sooner. The seat next to me at Shrewsbury was unoccupied, and I’ve just bought new deodorant. ? Edited August 19, 2022 by Grumpy Git Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I think that the revenue DCFC taken tomorrow for the match on Rams TV could well exceed that which Fleetwood take in ticket revenue. Just booked mine for £10 and sold the remaining six seats in my living room @ £5 each ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be such a problem in the Championship as we get bigger allocations. Foreveram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely, they'll see the headline 'tickets on sale up to kick off', then think that they will have a few beers and rock up at ten to three, expecting to get in, then the trouble starts. Generally speaking, the trouble makers don't have the highest IQ, even less when fueled up with alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepyuppy Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I’ve followed Derby home and away to every game in the last 30 years (last 20 years as a disabled supporter) Unfortunately I am on the ‘at risk list’, due to suppressed immune system, re Covid, so last season I only attended 3 away games at the larger grounds, where I knew from previous experience I could assure myself decent proximity distance to others supporters. This season although I have renowned my Away Membership, the fact that so many Grounds are of such low capacity, or have so few disabled facilities, together with the fact I did not attend sufficient Away games last season to access the Ticket Purchase Bandings dates means that all tickets are sold before I can attempt to purchase a ticket. Am I disappointed, hell yes, but there is nothing I can do about it, so I have to accept the situation of being a supporter of a hugely supported big team in a Division that can not cater for large Away followings. I’m gutted, but it is what it is. I’m hoping that somehow we can get promoted this season back to The Championship, where there are larger and better facilities for us disabled supporters. I still remain DTID !! ?? angieram, Rev, Bald Eagle's Barmy Army and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
