Derby County: Fans upset over season ticket issue

Plenty of Derby County fans have been left angered after the club announced season tickets are currently only available to be picked up from the ticket office at Pride Park Stadium.

The club’s official website explained that season ticket holders will be able to make their collections from tomorrow between 10 am and 4 pm on Monday to Friday over the next three weeks.

There was no news about the club posting the tickets out to holders who don’t live locally, which had a number of fans concerned about their ability to find the time to come to the stadium during open hours.

The information was also shared on Twitter. This allowed many upset supporters the chance to make their complaints well heard.

Here’s what these Derby fans said

“Any chance of posting them when you live 60 miles away, matchday pick-up will be a nightmare.”

@MickStath

“Unbelievable Jeff! As everyone lives local .. not!”

@shifnalram

“Just what I want after driving up from Bristol, nice one.”

@SteveyD

“Or just send a QR / barcode out to the registered email address for every ST holder. That would take care of around 90% of the problem and eliminate the need for carrying a season card. All at zero cost. Bewildering why this even needs to be suggested.”

@SincePlayed

“Are they joking? We have collect from the box office….”

@nellieg88

“Shoddy.”

@Derbydad73

It’s hard to blame these supporters for being a little bit exasperated. They certainly haven’t had much luck of late. As recently as September, the club was deducted 12 points after going into administration.

Will Derby avoid the drop?

Yes

No

As a result of that, they currently sit bottom of the Championship on just five points, despite having won three games so far this season.
