The club has confirmed that general sale tickets for Derby County's pre-season friendly against Manchester United will be available until 1pm on Saturday.
Derby will play Manchester United, Wayne Rooney's previous club, at Pride Park on Sunday afternoon at 1pm.
DON'T MISS:
The club has been granted permission to welcome 8,000 people, or 25% of the stadium's capacity, with admissions restrictions in place until Monday.
Season ticket holders for the 2020-21 season were provided access to tickets on Monday, followed by season ticket holders from the previous campaign on Tuesday.
The sale was extended to all supporters holding a Fan ID with the club on Wednesday at 10 a.m., and tickets will be available until 24 hours before kick-off.
When they meet last season's Premier League and Europa League runners-up this weekend, Rooney is expected to give trialists and youngsters opportunities.
DON'T MISS:
Isaac Hutchinson and Liam Thompson were among the players who did not play in the Under-23s' defeat to Matlock Town in midweek, raising the possibility that they will play in Sunday's friendly, while other youngsters such as Dylan Williams, who has been with the club at their training camp near Bracknell, may be given a chance to impress.
Free agents Ravel Morrison, Phil Jagielka, Richard Stearman, and Ryan Allsopp, as well as strikers Sone Aluko and Sam Baldock, are practicing with the Rams ahead of the 2017 Championship season.
Meanwhile, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is working with a small squad after several of his players were called up for international service during the summer.
Former Rams loanee Teden Mengi is likely to return to Pride Park after spending the second half of last season in DE24. Solskjaer is anticipated to choose a youthful line-up, but the likes of Tom Heaton, Juan Mata, and Nemanja Matic might also feature.
The Derby manager is looking forward to seeing his former club.
“The game against Manchester United at Pride Park Stadium, a club with whom I have a long and proud relationship and history, is a mouthwatering possibility and a wonderful opportunity for us to test ourselves against one of the top teams in both England and Europe," he added.
“We also have some hard-friendly matches coming up, which will give us with a range of vital tests in the lead-up to the season starting.”
