I picked up one of these for the Forest game. Trick is log on ten minutes prior to this and keep refreshing on the buy page until they appear. Chances are there will be 50 or less if any, so will go really quickly. Good luck.

Plastics, there were probably loads of people that wanted tickets, but made other arrangements because they couldn't get them, selfish, buy a ticket go to the game.

There will only be about 30 tickets up for grabs like there was for the Forest game.

Or possibly, just possibly, the tickets returned are those unused freebies given to every club ?

2-1 down and going into the second leg with everything still to play for. And people return tickets? Unbelievable

They are not conventional returns but the comps set aside out of the original allocation sent down by Derby.

All members of staff get one ticket set aside for them, if they choose not to buy it then the club put it on sale.
 




The offy site article did make it seem like there had been a surge of returns by faint-hearts. True or not, made me laugh

Being fair, some people when they go on sale panic and buy groups of tickets for friends and families then discover one or two of them can't go for whatever reason. I've certainly done that before. I assume if these tickets are returned to the club rather than being sold on to others they would be included. It's not quite the same as deciding it isn't worth it.

Almost certainly 'returned' complementary tickets.

Club don't give refunds on paid-for tickets, do they?

Badly worded official announcement:


Supporters are advised that a number of returned tickets for the play off away leg at Derby County have gone back on sale to supporters with 1150 points or more.


To purchase your ticket please visit www.seagulls.co.uk/tickets or call 0844 327 1901. From 2pm, subject to availability, tickets will go on sale to those with 1,000 points or more.

Read more at http://www.seagulls.co.uk/news/arti...r-derby-away-1544139.aspx#O4KuuwWHY6z0pqme.99


Suspect some people read that quickly thinking they went on sale at 2pm, but have in fact been on sale since the article was produced! It's only the threshold that changes at 2pm to 1,000 points.

These are, 100% without doubt, tickets that are reserved for players' family and club partners. They are never all taken up, and the remainder are then re-sold to fans. It happens with each and every club.

You can't go back to the Amex and say "I don't fancy it any more" and get your money back. It doesn't work like that.

Just bought one. I am really looking forwarded to it. After the way the team played last night, they need and deserve all the support we can give them. It's not over yet.
