tutankamun Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 So I am now sitting in the Pittodrie Bar having left before half time due to our seats being double booked. Particularly gutting as I am a season ticket holder and have just spent a fortune following the Dons over in Groningen. How can this possibly happen? Apparently something to do with these tickets that people print off (ours were club issued). Rest assured I will be taking this further with the club. Absolutely raging, sometimes the organisation at this club is farcical. Notably they have proven time and time again that they cannot handle the big matches. FUCK YOU ABERDEEN Link to comment

StevieT1986 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 On the lighter side some old boy took last seasons season ticket instead of this seasons one. I found it slightly hilarious Link to comment
Dynamo Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 This happened to a guy I know at Riga game. Luckily for him it was south stand and there was spare seats on that occasion. Someone else had exactly same ticket. Link to comment

Guest Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I find it hard to believe that anyone in their right mind would just f*ck off to the pub cause there was a mix up with tickets. There were spare seats in the RDL, or you could have waited til half time and spoke to someone from AFC about it (ie, not a jobsworth steward). More like we were 1-0 down and you couldn't stomach staying to look for a seat. Boooooooo! Link to comment
TwoStars Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Spied so many spare seats as well.Shocking they could be even put you in a corporate section or something.Same. Sold out my hoop. Link to comment

ChutneyLove Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Was the Pittodrie Bar busy during the game? What did you have to drink?I wish you could get a beer at the match. Link to comment
tutankamun Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Was the Pittodrie Bar busy during the game? What did you have to drink?I wish you could get a beer at the match.It was reasonably busy. A lot of guys in there that really should have been at the match, although truth be told they were probably more interested in getting pissed than watching the game. Managed to get a seat though which was a win. Link to comment
BillyStarkDivinHeeder Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Some cunt was probably in my seat. I didn't bother checking, I just stood on section Y. Some Spaniard came up to us in the South Stand with 35 minutes on the clock and asked where he should be sitting. He showed us his ticket and it read; Merkland Family Stand. Link to comment

Just a hunch, but perhaps he worked in Aberdeen/is a student, and is not a Sociedad supporter. I work with a Spanish bloke in Aberdeen who's a Real Madrid fan. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Was probably just from somewhere South of Kincorth - they're all foreigners in my book. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I wish the cunt in front of me in the Rdu had stayed in his seat. You don't need to stand up when you're in row 2. Wanker. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I will cut the club some slack however. This 10 days notice of a massive game is pish. Massive respect to the guys that did the away legs. Which I guess is kind of your point tut. Link to comment

dave_min Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 There were 2 free seats infront of me in the Y last night. They're probably still free right now. 1 Link to comment
BillyStarkDivinHeeder Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Just a hunch, but perhaps he worked in Aberdeen/is a student, and is not a Sociedad supporter. I work with a Spanish bloke in Aberdeen who's a Real Madrid fan. The point I was trying to make is he had a Merkland ticket but the barcode had obviously allowed him access to the South Stand which I assume it shouldn't. You could probably swipe your Tesco club card at the turnstyle and get in. I don't care about Sociedad fans being in the home end. My hunch was he is Petroleum engineer who has lived in Mannofield for 2 years and follows Valencia. 9 Link to comment
dave_min Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Does he organise busses from Mannofield for Valencia home games? As I'd be interested in visiting the Mestalla if he does. Link to comment
minijc Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 My tickets hadn't even been printed off when I went to collect them, actually none of the "R" tickets were in the box to be dished out, the quine that was working asked "Is your last name Reid?" me "Yes" "Are you sure it is Reid and not something else" fuck me, it was tough work.

Herouali0 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 BillyStark - are you sure the ticket didn't say "enter via Merkland Road TS" ? All South Stand tickets say this on them Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 A bit harsh on the daego boy that isn't it. Being taken through the tradesmans entrance by someone both disinterested and tutting at the same time. Link to comment
