A lot of fans will be very happy with this outcome; but in the Official Statement, not a single reference to the massive controversy that's been going on all week; and not a reference to pricing for future home games. From the Official site, one wouldn't know what's been really going on; and long term, some might think that somewhat damages the credibility of the site

GUARDIAN -Football League rules in Derby's favour in QPR ticket row
· League decides against QPR's £10 price hike
· Tickets will be available to Derby fans from this evening
QPR argued that the increase was 'to provide a better standard of entertainment for home and away fans'.
The Football League has ruled in favour of Derby County in the disagreement with Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers over ticket prices. The London club wanted to increase prices by £10 for the game at Loftus Road on Saturday, despite Derby's claim that prices of £30 for adults and £20 for concessions had been agreed over the summer.
Derby complained to the League and, as QPR faced the prospect of no away fans at Saturday's fixture, the governing body ruled that the tickets must be sold at the originally agreed price.
John Vicars, Derby's vice-president of operations, welcomed the ruling and tickets will now go on sale from Pride Park this evening. "Derby County are pleased with the Football League's decision," said Vicars. "We will now be working closely with QPR to sort out the swift distribution of tickets to our supporters. We therefore look forward to seeing plenty of Rams fans at Loftus Road this Saturday supporting the team."
QPR said the increase in ticket prices at Loftus Road this season was to help maintain budgets previously set to provide a better standard of entertainment for home and away fans.
