The 2019/20 Season Tickets are now on sale to Derby County supporters.
Frank Lampard’s side find themselves competing at the top end of the Sky Bet Championship table in the second half of the season, as they seek to secure promotion to the Premier League, and the final months of the campaign are certain to be exciting for all Rams fans.
While the football staff have their focus firmly set on the coming months, work behind-the-scenes has been ongoing for next season at Pride Park Stadium.
Season Tickets, which officially went on sale from 9am on Friday 25th January 2019, continue to provide the best value for Rams supporters to watch their team in action at Pride Park Stadium.
Season Ticket holders for the 2018/19 season will receive their Season Ticket guidance in the coming days, which includes detailed information about how to secure their seat for next season via their preferred communication option.
The first period of sales for renewals and new Season Ticket purchases will run from 9am on Friday 25th January through to 4pm on Sunday 31st March and, as ever, offers the opportunity for fans to secure their seat at the cheapest possible price for next season.
Season Ticket holders for the 2018/19 campaign will have their current seats reserved until 4pm on Sunday 31st March. After this time any seats that aren’t renewed will be released for general sale.
Relocation Week, which has proven popular with supporters in recent years and gives supporters the opportunity to choose an alternative seat at Pride Park Stadium, will take place between 3rd-7th April, while the second sales period will begin on Monday 8th April and tickets, at that stage, will be subject to a price increase.
Purchasing a Season Ticket at the earliest opportunity works out as the cheapest way to watch the Rams in action at Pride Park Stadium next season – regardless of what division they will be in!
The Rams continue to offer FREE 2-12 Year Old Season Tickets as the club maintains its commitment to build its fanbase for the future. All 2-12s must be accompanied and sat with a full paying Adult at a ratio of one Adult to one Child (aged 2-12) and be a Rams Squad Member.
Derby launched their ‘Golden Rams’ initiative for this season, where supporters aged 85+ who have been full Season Ticket holders for five consecutive years or more qualify for a free Season Ticket. Derby will once again continue this commitment for next season and the Golden Rams’ monthly events will continue to be arranged by the club.
