City fans can really make Ashton Gate a cauldron of noise for the final scheduled Sky Bet Championship home match of the season against Derby County (Saturday, April 27th, KO 3pm).

In a repeat of the Manchester United and Manchester City games last season, seats in a section of the Atyeo Stand are available for home supporters as demand to see the Robins meet the Rams increases.

More than 22,000 tickets have already been sold for the game and City Chief Executive Officer Mark Ashton said: “We are in a really strong position and every cheer and chant will make a difference to the players.

“With that in mind we have made a section of the Atyeo Stand available for the Derby County match for our fans so that we can truly make the Gate a cauldron of noise.”

The desire for tickets for the run-in is matched by an interest in seeing City in their next campaign with season cards for the 2019/20 campaign back on sale after unprecedented demand.

Supporters looking to become new season card holders can choose their seat both online and over the phone from this time.

Season card prices remain frozen in the family area and on all new Under-12 and Under-19 seats.

While the South Stand has sold out – following a record 14,000 secured during the initial sales period – new season card holders can still purchase seats in the Dolman Stand and Lansdown Stand.

Ticket prices for Adults, Concessions and Under-22s have risen by five per cent, following the initial sales period but previously advertised season card holder benefits remain the same. There is no pay monthly option available.

The second season card sales period ends at midday Friday, May 3rd.

After I looked at the Reading tickets for Reading fans on their site I thought I would look at Derby’s. As @phantomsays they have just gone on general sale. £32 plus £1 fee plus another quid if you want them posted. So that is potentially £34 match ticket (unlike Hull concessions are available). Their coach travel for members is £25, but there is a discount for U16’s of £6. So match and coach is £59 each.

I guess if the Atyeo is open to our fans that’s the price we will be paying too. Shocking prices by us, I boycott Leeds and Sheffield for being pricy but we aren’t any better.

Maybe we have chucked in a Easter Egg as well.

Not really. 

We should do it every match imo, would improve the atmosphere and we should make them cheaper tickets to make it more affordable

Isn’t there something that you are not allowed to charge away supporters more than the home in the same stand, although you are allowed to do offers to the home supporters several times a year, I may be totally wrong here but I am sure I have seen it somewhere.

We should make it 20 quid for all fans in that stand. Give 2.6k to other clubs and the rest to us

Correct. I got a refund from PNE a few years back after they charged City fans more than PNE fans in the same stand behind the goal.

Does it improve the atmosphere though?  I'm not convinced.  Most of our most vocal support will already have season tickets and most of them will already be in S82.

For games where there is more supply than demand, I suspect it would just mean dispersing the home crowd over a larger area with no particular benefit.  And it would seem pretty pointless for a Tuesday night game v Wigan or similar with only a handful of away supporters.

I do agree with a cheaper ticket price though.

Because they are the worst seats in the ground. 

And personally I think all away tickets should be capped at 20 pounds in the championship

To be fair the facilities are crap in that stand compared to the rest of the ground so if they did ever sell tickets in there regularly they should be cheaper and they should make an agreement like Reading did with other clubs and cap it at £20-25 in return for the same for ours when we are away

I’m not actually a big fan of making cheaper tickets available for those who want to only turn up now and then (yes, I’m aware that there are a variety of reasons for this)

However, I think it would be great to offer reduced price season tickets, or maybe 5 game batch tickets (5 games for £100) in that area of the ground. 

By selling to regular people, it also negates/reduces any concerns about trouble, as the club would have the details for everybody sat in that area. (Rather than POTD)

You can't charge away fans 20 pound then charge home fans 40.

Don't agree. I would go back to my Atyeo stand seat behind the goal if given the chance.

Interested to hear where you'd say the worst seats are then. 

As it's the oldest stand, as well as being behind the goal, I'd say it probably is

Why does there have to be a "worst"? The seat was as comfortable as my seat in the south stand, the same pasties were available and the beer identical. I was also a lot closer to the action, and although the stand is not that old it felt a little more "old school". Personal choice and all that and that's not to say I don't think the stadium revamp is not superb.

You do know that seats in the Dolman work out at less than that per game, on a season ticket..?

Sorry just edited my post as I now see where you are coming from - I meant i'd get a SC if the Atyeo reopened not the £20 bit.

It's always positive to have home fans behind both goals- no brainer tbh.

This move ideal, thought so for ages- though in the medium to long term, I would have stuck away fans in the top tier of the Lansdown, though it maybe impractical in reality?

It can help join up atmosphere quite well around the ground- home fans in the section nearest the Dolman maybe, that helps- with both corners having some noisier fans and the Dolman can more readily join in. Plus of course, close proximity to away fans always helps with atmosphere and intensity.

Indeed, read a few reviews of visiting fans to AG on some site the other day- the theme that came up among a few was querying why our noisier area/singing section whatever you want to call it was so far from the away fans.

Positive move by the club this, well done.

I agree with the sentiment, would you be happy to pay an extra £2 on top of your normal match day ticket cost to subsidise the away fans? 

The situation is that we would end up with more support for away teams is that something we want to encourage?

There's always a 'worst' place to sit/stand at any venue, whether that be a football ground or concert venue. 

It doesn't mean the place is bad but it does mean that normally it is cheaper than the rest of the ground/arena. In this case, the Atyeo is a good 20 years older than the other three stands, and has the negative that its behind a goal (which is to some peoples taste, but normally means a reduced ticket. 

Therefore I think we should split it in half with home and away fans and reduce the tickets to encourage people to use it

Firstly I don't see why we would have to subsidise, the extra income from selling more away tickets, plus the home tickets that would come available would make up for the losses that would happen whenever leeds/villa come to town. 

Personally, I would rather see large away followings, it increases the atmosphere and means there more chance of reciprocation from other clubs when we visit their grounds

Age-old debate on here but it would be an emphatic yes from me.

More away fans improves the overall atmosphere no end, makes for a better occasion overall, and brings out the best in our own support meaning there is no net advantage for the away team. Plus the club makes more money.

I always look forward to a fixture with a sold-our away end more than one with a near-empty Atyeo.

Plus I’d far rather we were giving good allocations and getting good ones in return - far better than both teams giving tit-for-tat reduced allocations, which just stops supporters of all clubs watching the football they want to.

It was a bloody site quicker to get out of the Atyeo at FT too.

our performance today was not bad - created lots of chances and again dominated. Hopefully against Derby we will take the chances - 5 wins from the Prem!

or maybe 6

Thought we were poor, lethargic and quite frankly some of them looked like they’d rather be elsewhere. Granted the bell didn’t bounce For us today but you make your own luck. Doing our usual stumbling over the line poorly.

At this level there is small margins of error, a bit like typing “bell” instead of “ball”! ?

I'm so peeved. I cannot believe what I just saw. I'm sure these referees are paid to ensure the big names go through no matter!! They don't want little Bristol City and boring Middlesboro in the equation. Let's help out Frank Lampard's Derby County by GIVING them a penalty which was NO WAY a penalty. Watch the penalty now on Sky - watch it - ridiculous!! I'm sure SKY have some involvement in this. Having Frank Lampard in the play-offs will just make the play-offs much more interesting and a larger interest!! Sorry we're still in but City will need everything they've got next week if they are to overcome such generosity towards the 'big' boys with the big names!! Well done to City for getting this far!

Well we can hit the big boys beating Man U and giving Man C a good two games,  so they just have to go for it and not start slowly and lethargic!

Absolutely! It's now a 'cup' tie in many ways so we have to go for it. Shame we don't have the momentum going into it. What we have to remember is that we have done so well to get this far.

Luckily the other 2 teams are in as poor form as us. Still a chance.

It’s in our own hands @Super, three cup finals and we’re in the play offs. It’s the same for Derby as well, who handles the pressure and the game on Saturday will finish in the top six

Our home performances do not fill me with confidence for next week... Let alone our performance today.

Not been the greatest at home have we, neither have Derby been away since the turn of the year, no away wins surprisingly, let’s keep it that way, nothing less than 3 points required for us.

Yep. Simply assuming it doesn't happen is almost as bad as it going on.

Our government is bent. Many people in positions of power and money are bent. Why not refs?

Surprised only 23,000 sold so far. Surely this has to be a sell out? Still over 1,200 tickets showing online.

DON’T MISS OUT AGAINST THE RAMS

 

There is set to be an electric atmosphere inside Ashton Gate on Saturday, with over 23,000 tickets sold for the visit of Derby County (April 27th).

Lee Johnson’s side welcome the Rams to BS3 in the their final home fixture of the regular season, with both teams battling it out for a place in the play-offs.

The gold category fixture is proving extremely popular and those without a ticket are urged to secure theirs as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

To purchase your seat, call 0117 963 0600 or buy online now.

The teams drew 1-1 in the reverse fixture back in December, with Jamie Paterson on target for the Robins.

Meanwhile, tickets remain available for City’s upcoming matches at Millwall (April 30th, 7.45pm) and Hull City (May 5th, 12.30pm).

Suspect It will get close to selling out. The high prices as always will put some people off.

Be amazed if this isn’t a sell-out as it ought to be, given what’s at stake.

Still 850 available in the Atyeo which will hopefully go in the next couple of days as having that area packed could make a big difference on Saturday ??
