Cove_Sheep Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 1 minute ago, Scotty CTA said: Regardless... how many did we bring to each of those games? Less than what would equate to a 50/50 allocation. And even then, a lot of people were still waiting until literally the last minute to buy tickets. Quite a lot of people seem to do this, so I don't know why anyone would be surprised at slow sales so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cove_Sheep Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Just now, Scotty CTA said: Ye ken fine that if we had half the North Stand that it've been snapped up by now. And ticket sales would still be pretty much at the same level as they are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the question that was asked was where were the prime seats that Aberdeen had to sell if they didn't get any of the North stand.

(9,400 sold until last night I believe) As you usually shit the bed against Rangers in Glasgow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even look at alleged massive home games that sell out, there's normally still quite a lot of tickets available this far out and even some on the day of the game. And the fact that everybody now knows that there will be plenty tickets to go round, will mean that even more folk than usual will be more inclined to leave it until the last minute to buy.

There's a difference between the prime (best) seats in the stadium and the 'prime' (best) seats Aberdeen have been allocated to sell.

Squirrelhumper Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 34 minutes ago, Scotty CTA said: Disagree. They would have sold the best seats in the North and the South by now. Which equates to around 10k, with 12k to sell in the West? That would be clever wouldn't it? You are living on cloud cookoo land if you think Aberdeen were ever going to sell anywhere near 22k.

Debian Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Good to see the SPFL taking a stance and given us more sections in the East Stand. Common sense once again prevails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty CTA Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Dons fans bought those seats with that view in good faith and are now being moved to worse seats. They should have the right to a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty CTA Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 At least we'd have got half of the North. Things went irreversibly sour at that point. The 'powers' want a Sevco v Celtic final and are actively working toward that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, would you prefer a big empty stand behind the goals just so Aberdeen can get exactly the same number of "good" seats as Rangers? Wise up, as Cove has said, Aberdeen haven't even sold out their last two Cup Finals, so they sure as hell weren't going to get 50/50 for this and ticket sales have backed that up.

What I'm suggesting is that Aberdeen should have been given half of the North Stand and worked around toward the East Stand block by block. Not giving us any of the North Stand for the first time has been a disaster for us. 9 minutes ago, Squirrelhumper said: Wise up, as Cove has said, Aberdeen haven't even sold out their last two Cup Finals...
