Derby have different prices for different games. When we played there in December, we were charged £32 or £33 (I can't remember which). I'd guess yours will be similar given your league position, maybe slightly less.

They give you up to 3,000 tickets.

None was intended - I wouldn't dream of being so crass or condescending. Still, if it gave you a chuckle then great.

The lad asked a question and I tried to give him as good as answer as possible. Our fans are generally being shafted in this division. You paid £25 at Fulham for example - We are paying £35 in 10 days time. We also get charged more than you do at Sheff Wed (£39), Leeds(£41) and many others. It was not beyond the realms of fantasy to suggest that you may pay less at Derby than we did, given the pattern that has formed over the past 2 seasons

We were charged just 20 quid at Fulham And a quid for kids.

Price should be same for all fans

I agree. I understand the need for clubs to maximise earning potential but it has to be balanced against treating fans fairly.

The extra £15 x 4,000 will net Fulham another £60K. Given the neutral section is £40 a throw, they've probably made the same again there.

£120K extra from the away fans, on top of the £150K they would have made at £20 a throw. In fairness, their own fans are paying £35 in the other end. I can live with that.

The big ones for me are Sheff Wed and Leeds. I know Sheff Wed get around it by having massive differences between what season ticket holders pay per game, compared to those who pay at the gate. Away fans in the Leppings Lane end pay the same amount as those in the best seats right on the half way line. Sheffield fans in the other end with season tickets pay at least a third less through their season tickets. I've always disagreed with the argument of charging away fans what you are charged because I think it brings you down to their level but I do see the reasons why people would want to.
