It cannot escape criticism for poor communication. Today I probably like many others received an email at 10.45 for the Derby home ballot which was opening at 12pm. Do they not want to give any notice to supporters on anything. It's a bit like the Bromley and Preston tickets which were saying the news stories were hours old. But clearly the stories had been on their barely an hour. Sorry for the rant but I really think it's poor from the club. |  | | |  |

You want more notice to enter a ballot for a game that is 29 days away? |  | | |

The ballot is only open for a couple of days, but not time critical that you need to apply at 12.00. |  | | |

Precisely. 2 days to enter is ample time to press a few clicks of a button, regardless of time you enter does not get you higher/lower priority. | | | |

Why does it matter that it opens at 12? Surely the pertinent thing is that it ends in 3 days. Plenty of notice. |  | | |

Really is moaning for the sake of moaning.
Sending then so it’s fresh in everyone’s mind.
Ballot opened today at 12 and closes at 17:00 on Monday, plenty of time to enter.
Why does it matter when they send the email out as long as it’s before it opens? |  |

Ashton should be calling us individually to let us know when the ballot opens - he's done feck all this week, no signings, no nothing...lazy waste of space, just sunning himself in France | | | |

Hmm. Try applying that logic to Christmas. If you didn't know it was coming until 3 days before imagine the carnage. Makes you think innit! |  |

In an alternate universe. “It’s nice the club sends out reminders to fans ahead of the ballot opening. The club has really improved its communications.” |  |

The point here being totally missed. I also referred to other ticket sales such as on Sunday afternoon the Preston details were on the site. Now I checked Sunday morning and there was nothing on the site, yet the news story said 9 hours ago. Sorry that you all jump up and down but I was making the point that some of you think the club can do no wrong. | | | |

I re-read your original post; are you frustrated because there wasn’t a news story about the ballot? | |

I think its fair to say that the club probably can and will escape criticism on this one |  |

Think OP is a bit OTT but surprised at tone of responses here as would have thought it obvious that giving a bit of notice of sale dates etc is a good thing
Probably less of an issue with ballot windows but has been the same for ticket windows. Bromley for example was only received at 18:12 on Sunday (27th July) with tickets then on sale at 10am on the Monday (28th). Very short notice and left little time to get organised, particularly when sales went live during the work day |  |

There is a pattern of them cutting things increasingly fine but most things are 5 clicks so its doesn't make much difference or really affect anything. |  |

Agree with the sentiment, the Towns WhatsApp group is poorly updated and often misses key information |  | | |

Thank you yes my OP wasn't the best but thanks for making the point about the Bromley tickets, which in poor way I tried to make the point. | | | |

Eh? Ballot is open all weekend, and not first come, first served. What’s the issue exactly? |  | | |

90% of ticket sales start at 10am Mondays, do they not?
I have an alarm set on my phone at 9:45am every Monday just to login and check.
It’s not hard. | | | |

I would prefer Sunday morning emails to Sunday evening emails when it comes to the Monday morning sales windows. I was tasked with buying tickets for elderly SB members last season and missed a fair few boats for my sins. Friday emails, even better, but it is what it is! | | | |

I'd suspect quite a bit of that is when they get the tickets. I can't imagine they sit on them for several days just to annoy fans by late notifications. | | | |
