Derry City FC has warned fans that they stand to lose out on tickets for the biggest games this season due to unprecedented demand ahead of the move to Maginn Park.

There will be a limited capacity at Derry City’s new home this season, and the club have warned that with two games against Finn harps, two games against Dundalk, and the club also in European competition, only season ticket holders will be guaranteed tickets.
Commercial Marketing Manager, Orlaith Meenan urged fans to get their tickets as soon as possible to guarantee entry into the club’s home games. “I would encourage past season ticket holders and anyone thinking about coming to the games to please purchase a season ticket,” she said. “This is a challenging season for everyone: the team, club and of course the supporters, but it is a season when we need your support the most.
“Not only is the season ticket more cost effective but it guarantees entry to every game and priority for European tickets. With Maginn Park being smaller than the Brandywell the demand for match tickets this year will be higher than before. For a club which has so many home grown, local players it sends out a good message to the local people that there’s an identity there and I’d like to see them come out and support us. Add that to the fact that we have had keen interest from the people of Inishowen, we will certainly have a higher demand for tickets and less space to accommodate.”
