رجل إيرلندي Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Good evening gents, Registered here as a member years back. Ignore the silly user name. Had an Algerian girlfriend at the time and made a half arsed attempt to learn Arabic but that's all fallen by the wayside now. Anyhow, myself and my brother (Fulham season ticket holders from Epsom) will be in Aberdeen of the weekend of the 24th and 25th February. Main purpose of the visit is to do the Brewdog brewery tour, but I chose this particular weekend as I was hoping to fit the Aberdeen v Celtic match in as an added extra, as I've long had a soft spot for the dandies but have never been to Pittodrie. Was thinking I would be able to purchase tickets online from the Aberdeen ticket office. Plenty of tickets available by the looks of it but having called them they will only sell tickets to people with a booking history, which I don't have. Any dons fans here willing to help a brother out? I'll happily repay the favour and assist with Fulham tickets in future (don't laugh). Touts don't bother, but I'll happily throw a few pounds to a chosen charity of anyone who would assist. Many thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a difficult one, as he says, you have to be registered as a customer, but can only buy one ticket per person. I would love to help, but I can’t buy tickets.

killiefaetheferry Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Wee hijack here as I'm maybe going to have to the train up for the cup tie - my wee boy just got a JAMES 7 Killie strip for his seventh birthday and it has started him pestering me to take him. Been a long time since I was at Pittodrie - what's the distance to walk from the railway station, remembering the wee man just turned 7, or any bus route ? Somewhere for a bite to eat that I could have a beer as well ? And sorry for this last one, but safe enough for us walking back and forward with him all scarf, strip, hat etc ?

Toon 68 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It's a good 30 min walk to ground. You can stop in Archibald simpsons at top of king street (weatherspoons) for food. No hassle with scarves etc . Not sure on the bus routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could walk about 20 minutes or so down to the beach front, that has tgi’s, Burger King and a Pizza Hut, these are all available in the town too, union square, that’s where you’ll get off the train anyway has plenty places on the top floor for food. I’ll have to check properly, but I think the 13 goes to there, down past park road (away stand) and there’s a stop outside the rds. Youll have no hassle whatsoever wherever you walk with him, let him wear his colours with pride and I can’t see any restaurants turning you away because you have a child also. Maybe best to try and prebook a table if you went to union square, I’m not sure how busy everywhere is on a Saturday afternoon. Union street is only a 5 minute walk from there to catch the bus.

Looks like we're taking a massive crowd to this one. We've 3 coaches going from our boozer alone. Think the Killie Club will have 6+ coaches going up then there's the Travel Club, Ardrossan, Howard, Irvine Valley, Kadikoi etc all taking buses.

In all seriousness, i saw the request and was a bit suspicious (probably say a lot about me ?!) but would have helped out. Sounds like Parklife did help out......

رجل إيرلندي Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Just in the door after our flight back to Gatwick was delayed by three hours. Just wanted to say thanks to Parklife for helping me with tickets to the game. Had a great time in Aberdeen, what a fantastic city. I adored Pittodrie too, wonderful historic football ground with real character. I've long had a slight soft spot for the dandies, what with thier European pedigree so I was delighted to get to the game. Brewdog brewery and bar was good too, if a bit too trendy for me! Cheers guys 👍 Edited February 26, 2018 by رجل إيرلندي Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
