Cup Final Tickets

[Ernie McCracken]

 

You trying to say that we can't sell another 1900 tickets when the initial batch sold out in a few days?

The EE reports that over 20,000 dons fans will be there.

 

They might be guessing, but if theyve made that statement based on info from the club then that suggests the club got the extra tickets and sold them.

[tup]

Wifie said to me there were about 1,000 left when I called this morning.

 

So that would make sense.

 

I had a blast at the weegies for their fucking £7 rip off postal charge on the phone and the wifie thought it was hilarious, clearly anti-weegie, great to see the Dons employing folk like that.

I'm sure we'll hear soon enough what happened with the optional additional allocation.

Northsound also running with the 20,000 + figure. Though totally inaccurate in the first place, you'd have to be very naive not to include all the Tims that will be in the Aberdeen end.

_{Looks like we refused the extra allocation.}

[Rebel Red]

If we had first refusal on those tickets why not take them? Rather some empty seats than more tims?

 

I suspect that the SFA had a hand in this.

Aberdeen are charging £6

[SupportmeansSUPPORT]

being reported we did decline the option of the extra 1340 tickets.

 

Seems like we didn't want to take a chance on them and then possibly not managing to sell them so didn't want to give the guarantee to the SFA by covering the £54,000 value of the tickets as we did in the league cup final.

[S2RDS]

I could understand this if tickets sold slowly, but they shifted pretty quickly. If the original batch had the gone on general sale, with no loyalty points structure, they would have sold in a day or two, so i don't understand the reasoning for it. Bizarre.

Probably the grippit wigged yokel, scared he'd be left to pick up a £30,000 tab.

[tup]

Incredibly stupid decision not to take the option of extra tickets.

Aye mibees, except he wouldn't have to. Unambitious as usual from the club

[dave_min]

A'body who wanted a ticket got one.

 

If you didn't get a ticket you're clearly a shit fan and are no real loss to anyone.

 

Up the Top Reds.

Yeah, the tickets shifted in less than a week. Utterly bizarre that the club have knocked back the additional tickets.

Yup.

[vanderark14]

joke decision from the club, allocation sold out within a week, people still want tickets..................no brainer. massive fuck up by AFC.

Which is why I think the SFA didn't offer them and have diverted the extra 1340 to Celtic. Given that we've long since cut their allocation right down at Pittodrie, sometimes to the detriment of our own bottom line, I wouldn't imagine the board would have a problem guaranteeing the extra amount needed, especially given the speed the original allocation sold at.

They fuck up league cup final with 1 tikcet per account - few hundred empty seats.

They get it right for Scottish cup final, sell ~19,500 in 6 days, refuse a further 1,300 to sell in 12 days.

[MegaloDon]

Milne gives players example of bottling , just in case they have forgotten.

[HairyPie]

Does this mean there will be Smeltic fans above me in the South?

[old sheep]

I wouldn't blame the board, the blame lies with the glory hunting, part-time fans who were quick to turn up to our final v Inverness only because we were likely to win. If I was a Celtic season ticket holder who couldn't get a ticket I'd be mighty pissed off that some so called opppsition fan was getting a ticket with less than 4 loyalty points over 2 seasons!

Cool story, bro.

 

The blame lies 100% with the board. They are there to look after the best interests of AFC and the club's fans, which they have spectacularly failed to do here.

The club have correctly punished fans who refuse to go to pittodrie. Good on them.

plenty of those Celtic season ticket holders should be supporting their local club.

what a pile of pish

 

what the fuck entitles a tim season ticket holder to more tickets than any dons fan who wants to go to the game?

and most wouldn't be there if celtic weren't winning every domestic trophie

[Guest milne_afc]

Lol. Pants shat already.

[zander]

Club well and truly bottled this one.

[Guest RosemountRed]

We've bottled it before the game has even kicked off, yasssss.

[tup]

Let's get a big, bold display going, do our bit, just prior to the team completely capitulating on the pitch in the first 20 minutes, 4-0 half time, pub.
