Has there been any ticket news yet? Does anyone know what Raith have asked for from their council in terms of stadium restrictions? 

Raith announced sales for Dons season ticket holders will be announced by the Dons soon. No idea of numbers

Last time I was at Starks Park Andy Harrow was playing for Raith. Anybody mind him ?

Aye he’s up there with Duncan Davidson and big Walker McCall

Steve Cowan, 

Cowan, Harrow and Davidson were all decent enough players. Harrow and Cowan just got unlucky because they were trying to make it with us at the time when McGhee had just signed and Hewitt and Black were breaking through, leapfrogging both to become first team regulars ahead of them. Cowan definitely stayed with us at least a year too long, though he did go on to do fairly well with Hibs.

Walker McCall was just Walker McCall. I actually didn't realise he was still with us till 83. I probably did know at the time but age and time have probably caused my memory to forget about him. He only played 27 times for us in his second stint and most of those would have been in 80/81. Was a really canny big loon though.

Raith boy I ken says we'll get 3300 (behind one end). They are selling tickets now.

No news yet from AFC but they'll o been busy yesterday sorting out tickets for Thursday. We'll maybe hear something today but if we get 3300 it'll be fine for season ticket holders who want to go.

Bear in mind it’s a 12KO, on a Sunday, live on TV.

That’ll be more than enough.

I heard that Raith are looking to sell direct to Aberdeen fans. AFC ticket office not happy by all accounts.

Raith Rovers V Aberdeen – Ticket Information. | Raith Rovers FC

 

"Aberdeen Fans – Please contact your club

Aberdeen FC will be sending out details on how season ticket holders can purchase a ticket for this match. All tickets will be available online."

[TheRock]

Surely Raith's message there was just a generic cut and paste. The club will sell to higher loyalty point holders surely rather than season ticket holders? 

That the 900 tickets for Livingston ended up on general sale might suggest the thresholds won't be as high for a early round League Cup game that's on TV with an early kick off. Especially since there's only 2 days to post them now. 

[NEM]

If we're getting 3,300 as suggested could probably just stick them straight on general sale tbh

That'll be plenty. 

[Specky Ginger]

You'll probably get more tickets if needed. 

I'd imagine they've split it 2500 each to start with, but if Aberdeen sell fast, and Rovers don't, you'll probably get an extra few hundred either behind the goal or in the railway stand. 

[Tord31]

Saturday 3pm we would have sold 3000. 

Sunday at 12.00 I think we'll do well to get 1,500 there to be honest

Plenty ST holders outwith Aberdeen that will want also. It may end up on general sale but I think we’ll sell our allocation

No paper tickets to post means there will still be plenty of time for people to buy tickets off the back of a fantastic performance on Thursday

In for me and the loons. TBH, the 12pm kick off really shouldn't influence things should it? It's only 90 mins down the road.

Nope. Club have nothing to do with it. General sale direct to raith. No points required, no points given.
