A bargain - we're a double Europen Cup winning side, don't yer know. They've just made a (soon to be award winning) film about us. Get those tickets quick before the touts buy them up
This is a good one for a total boycott. They are taking the pass out of Rams fans. I'd like to fix the prices for Forest fans in the return game. No doubt Farwazi has put his oar in.
We've got 3000 away members and they've give us 2000........I wonder if any season ticket holder regular goes away will get a reddog ticket??????
At that price they can keep it. Not a penny of my money is going in their bank account. Thank you sky for allowing me the watch the game. The prices they charge is the reason I haven't been there since the FA cup game in 2009
If they only allow us 2000 tickets I can't see them selling 27,000 tickets to Forest fans.
The prices are outrageous. It's a sad state of affairs. Game we should all be looking forward to but you have to think twice about shelling out all that cash, particularly when you could spend half that down the local watching it on tv. Definitely kills the passion of the game a little for me.
Derby charge the same when Forest go to PP with probably 500 more seats for away fans than at the CG so can't claim the moral high ground there, though.
Good comment Will, however if memory serves me right, we only started reducing the Florest allocation to 2700ish after Farwaz massively reduced the allocation to Derby fans to 2000ish. The decision made by Farwazi was purely to curry favour with the dog fans. No thought for fans or comprehension of the occasion 😕
Dirty camel sha66ing Reddogs.
Rse sniffing leg humpers.
Wasn't it Billy Cranky that insisted only 2k tickets should be offered to us?
They can keep it. Rather watch it on the box than go to that shlthole and get sprayed with pi55 - as usual
Oh, come on, Ramsfanbaz, youz love them golden showers and don't you try and deny it !
I can't believe I'm about to do this.... Im almost sticking up for Fawaz... Urgh.... So
I think our cheapest ticket for Wolves this week is £27. I'd imagine Forest categorise the fixture against us in their cup final as their most prestigious set of fixtures. Just looked and they are charging their own supporters £35. They arent going to charge our away following less than their home fans are they now?
Football has moved on. Tickets aren't £10 for a top fixture anymore.
And someone has to pay for Andy Reid's catering bill...
Very logical Serial. The price of keeping a football club in the black increases year on year. Transfer fees and salaries continue to increase and so will ticket prices.
Will you happily pay £60 because footballers salaries have doubled? What price is too much for you?
Salaries need to be capped but thats another matter.
Will I happily pay £60? Yes but I wont necessarily be happy about it. Fawaz can charge what he wants because he knows he has 30,000 Derby fans who would happily pay whatever to go and see this fixture. As much as people try to kid themselves football is business. Gone are the days of managers and players operating on a shoe string for their local team.

Slightly reinventing the past there. Derby reduced Forest's allocation to 2500 for a game several years ago. Think it was the Attwell 1-1 draw or the season before. Precedent was set then and it has been ti t for tat since then, although it has only been the last couple of seasons that Forest have split the Bridgford End in half and reduced the away allocations to 2000.
Personally haven't been to a derby since the game at PP when Barker did his knee. Got too expensive and I can take or leave it when most have been televised.
Derby, like all away fans are given 2000 tickets.
You didn't fill all those last season with only 1980 odd bothering to attend, I appreciate that some Derby fans are required to buy two tickets, so as to accommodate the sizable girth that is endemic in Derby, this may be the reason for the apparent official attendance. If anything, looking at this, the allocation should be reduced for Derby.
To be fair though this fixture has turned into a 'gimme' for Forest recently; in the last three season Derby have only beaten Forest once, and that was when we deliberately capitulated to oust Davies; so I sort of understand why it wasn't full.
Will you sell out this season? Probably, as Derby fans are up there with 'Boro for fickleness.
When the performances and morale is low, so is the crowd which attends. The difference between a football city like Nottingham and a hick town like Derby, I suppose.
We've just paid £31 for Huddersfield away! Not exactly a glamour tie....I agree with the £20 is enough campaign...
You could always go and watch, I Believe in Miracles if you can't get.
Look at what you could 'ave won if you had stuck with Brian.
It's showing in Derby too...

Strett, there is a de=ifference between selling all 2000 tickets and all 2000 actually being allowed in to the ground!
I know of a family of 4 being turned away because the father of said family had a bloody nose after receiving a plastic bottle to the face on the way to the ground.
It's clear Farwazi wants to avoid too much pro-Derby support and noise at this game. It's a sign of naked fear of the result. Another heavy defeat and he'll have to pay off Dougie as well as Billy and Psycho.
If we are not too careful we will be in danger of having no away supporters at our grounds. The cost is already prohibitive when fans have to take into account the cost of travel, food and the ticket.
I’m certainly not against market forces dictating the cost of the periphery of football, such as the cost of the shirts & pies, to me they are optional extras, however supporting my team is fundamental.
Seeing the Rams every other week, at whatever time Rupert dictates, is an experience, not a commodity or product. Part of that experience is the atmosphere generated in the stadium by both sets of supporters. I can imagine that it’s going to be pretty flat when away supporters do not attend games at the iPro.
Apparently we have 2700 seats available for away supporters but on average sell only 1338 of those per game, I’m not sure there is a stadium in the Championship that sells out its allocation for away supporters for every game despite virtually selling out to their home fans. Something needs to be done to encourage away supporters to attend. I support the twenty is plenty campaign and would also like to see clubs encouraged to provide free transport to away games.
As for those on the dark side, I can fully understand them cutting back on the vociferous support of the Rams to make sure more Forest supporter attend their cup final, but it is a bit silly to cut back on away supporters and not fill the stadium with your own supporters.
The reddogs should bite the bullet and let us have the Lower Bridgford End They might sell out then
It was nuts giving the entire Lower Bridgford to any away teams fans - never mind the sheep. Must have been very intimidating for the home keeper. Also the acoustics of that part of the ground are particularly good as well - which didn't help matters. Much better shoving the away support in the corner - out of the way
Only £21 for me at udders as they have a 60+, not 65+ concession. Mind you that stand for the away supporters must be the coldest stand in football. £35 at Forest is an insult, the place is falling to bits both literally and metaphorically.
