Would it be possible for the club to sell the remaining Derby (home) tickets from the Albion mobile shop, which is parked on Brighton station forecourt for match days?

The reason I'm saying this is the expected queues for ticket collections is going to be enormous for tomorrow. It will also enable those "last minute" fans to purchase a ticket and also boost club revenue.

Thoughts anyone?

I reckon they will want to stop derby fans easily getting tickets in home ends though

With the print at home option there is little need for most people to have to collect tickets. I know that a lot do but that queue is going to be massive tomorrow night despite the club open the shop for extended hours to allow people to pick-up tickets. Maybe next season they can introduce the ability to have the barcode on a phone overcoming the need for people that don't have printers to avoid the need to queue up. As for your idea it would be great just cannot see it happening due to the large numbers of people who will already be queuing up to collect tickets.

I would expect if there are any left before the game on Thursday, they will continue to be sold via all usual methods, including the kiosk at the station.

I really don't expect the club to be concerned about Derby fans trying to get into the home end. Maybe, if there is space, the club will extend the usual option for away fans to snap up a few too. As of yesterday there were still 400 Derby away tickets for the Amex game available and these were going on general sale to them today.

It would be nice if the print at home option even showed up when I purchase extra tickets. I believe the club are looking at using smart phone techology for tickets. I've got no choice but to queue up living 40 miles from the Amex makes it a bit difficult to get there before the match.

It would help if the shop stayed open till 7o'clock instead of shutting earlier than advertised, as they did last night

ALL blocks are now showing as limited apart from the north west corner.

It may well have sold out well before tomorrow night...
