THERE are still more than 20,000 tickets left for Derby County fans keen to see the Rams take on Queens Park Rangers at Wembley Stadium.
About 15,500 tickets for the Championship play-off final have so far been sold to supporters after they went on sale on Tuesday at 9am.
Derby have been allocated more than 37,000 tickets for the West End of Wembley Stadium and sales are split into two sections.
The first period is open to current full and half season-ticket holders, new 2014-15 season ticket holders, home members (including the Rams Squad juniors) and 6&12 package customers.
The current rate of sale means the football club estimates there will be between 15,000 and 17,000 tickets available for remaining fans when they go on general sale on Saturday from 9am.
The club are using SEE Tickets to sell tickets for the match.
Some fans who had already bought tickets were today informed they had been accidentally sold ones which should have gone to Queens Park Rangers supporters.
Derby County said the problem has affected fewer than 100 fans who had been sitting in block 123.
Brandon Furse, head of ticket sales and services, said: "Wembley Stadium sent us some of QPR's tickets and, obviously, we weren't aware of this when they arrived.
"Wembley then contacted us to say those tickets need returning but SEE had already sold under 100 of them.
"SEE said they have accommodated everyone in equivalent seats and were contacting those affected by e-mail and phone."
But Mr Furse said tickets for disabled fans which had not been sent over today had now arrived.
About 150 to 200 tickets for people with wheelchairs were not delivered to the club as expected and it meant staff had to take the names and numbers of people who turned up at the iPro Stadium looking to buy them.
Mr Furse said the club had been contacting those people whose details were taken this evening, before the remainder go on sale tomorrow.
He said: "Things went very well today and we've see the exact sales trend we expected.
"This system is designed so everyone who qualified for a ticket in the first period of sale was guaranteed one."
He also said about 1,000 tickets still remained for people looking to use the club's Roadrider coach services, which will take people on about 60 coaches to Wembley from outside the iPro Stadium.
Tickets for the game are only available online at http://www.seetickets.com/go/derbycounty or over the phone on 0844 854 1359.
Pricing categories are split into five sections, ranging from £36 to £98.
