Haggis_trap Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Aberdeen league cup final tickets sold out in < 2hrs. Despite getting less that 50% of a supposedly neutral venue for a cup final. An extra 7.5K tickets would have gone a long way for Aberdeen fans. Now I need to tell the kids they wont be going to the match. Edited November 14, 2023 by Haggis_trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggis_trap Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 Seemingly Aberdeen got just 17K tickets for a ground that holds 52K. Another 2.5K to follow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve already sent our email, so there’s hope yet. Edited November 14, 2023 by dandydunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the semi final a few years back when Lewis Ferguson scored the winner we had rangers fans above us in the top section of the main stand, the pricks were throwing stuff down with nothing done to stop them. Suppose it was only a minority 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic above us in 2017, too That's all perfectly acceptable, though - As 'diddies,' we should simply tolerate this, and STFU Cunts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do the OF need an advantage from referees? More fans in finals? When they already have a huge advantage in terms of resources and finances?

Haggis_trap Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) So it seems Aberdeen were only sent initial allocation of 17k tickets in a ground that holds 52k. Utterly disgraceful how our game is on organised for benefit of old-firm. My two kids (age 6 & 9) now likely going to miss cup final as result. Ironically we got tix for Stirling Albion in first round but not a ground x25 bigger. https://twitter.com/Alan_Burrows/status/1724553898965299635?t=bjD8SlSBVUa8_FQAE4jNtg&s=19 Edited November 15, 2023 by Haggis_trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) Allowing 4 tickets per applicant seems excessive. I think the issue here lies with how the ticket sale has been handled by Aberdeen. Edited November 15, 2023 by EddardStark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue here lies with how the ticket sale has been handled by Aberdeen. That is indeed part of the issue... I know lots of away game regulars and season ticket holders who missed out. However, club rightly wanted to demonstrate the demand existed. Especially with SPL not even issuing the full allocation at once. This is meant to be a neutral venue. Yet the Dons got an initial allocation of just 17K (in a ground that holds 52K). Does anyone now seriously think Aberdeen wouldn't have sold out 50% of ground? The tiny allocation was completely sold out in 2 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 If there are rangers fans out there who are genuinely thick enough to go into the aberdeen end, they deserve everything they get when they are outed during the game.

Morons My understanding is that the purchase history EXCLUDED individual Hun games solely On that basis, I doubt many of them will have swelled the attendances of Ross County at Pittodrie on a Tue night in January IMO, and as things stand right now..... It's nothing more than Jingoistic, Cretinous, WATP behaviour from a bunch of neanderthals who can't get a ticket via the reincarnation they claim to support, and allowed the previous one to die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then shortly after a general sale. This strategy was clearly driven by desire to demonstrate to SPL that the demand that existed. Hampden supposedly a neutral venue yet Rangers fans get the entire North Stand (length of pitch). Meanwhile Dons get just 17K, mostly behind the goal. Presumably SPL planned to sell the upper section to Rangers if Aberdeen hadn't sold out? Edited November 15, 2023 by Haggis_trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I’m in about 500 points, didn’t buy hat as we were going for a group with others below the 200 points threshold. They’ve emailed back today to say tickets will be distributed on ST & points, so fairly confident I’ll still get, only issue I have is, I’ve no idea how to get into the south stand 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
