General sale kicked off 5 mins ago - just picked up my tickets (changed last night from 1pm to 9am) 

Think sales were slower than they expected. Prices are bit steep.

They said last night sales were over 8000 and they had covered all ST holders. I picked up 2 in Section T.

Looks like red shed will be a sell out this morning. Looks like they'll have no bother selling out Merkland, Main, RDL and normal South. Only question will be RDS Upper and Away section.

[Tord31]

Another reason they'll want to chivvy the sales along a bit is they'll probably be wanting to make a tv/ppv decision by tonight.

Yeah but season ticket holders could buy for mates too. 

Sold over 2, 000 this morning I think. Merkland middle of South pretty much sold out. Atmosphere is going to be electric.

Youd imagine ppv will continue to be a thing as folk will still be wary.

Yeah im section T and there was only 37 tickets left in that section. So it does look like south will be sold out along with MKL.

Are the club not doing the RDS as a social-distancing stand, for those who are feeling more vunverable and want some form of distancing?

[redstrummer]

Needs a Dons ID and it needs to be linked to your account. Set him up with one.

Don't think it's an entire stand. It's a section. The wings of the beach end upper I suspect?

£32 quid for a ticket, what a joke. £34 in other sections as well.

£34 for a game of football in Scotland is an embarrassment.

An additional quid to pick your ticket up from Pittodrie too.

Steep rise from 2019 season. I get Covid has affected finances, but it's also affected a lot of the supporters financially as well.

It looks like its not making a lick of difference. If folk want to go to the first proper game since March 2020 they are going regardless of a fiver here and there.

Basic supply and demand. Probably only this game and maybe Ross County will be so steep, because they know the novelty factor is there and folk will pay it.

Ross County - Novelty

I doubt it.

They should be trying to encourage fans back at a reasonable cost at first.

Course it is. First domestic game at capacity crowd. Will likely sell out (or close to) regardless.

Hopefully. We're riding on a bit of a positive wave at the moment. I can't see us selling out vs Ross County at the beginning of next year if performances dip, and people will have been into a few games and the novelty has worn off a bit. 

Could you imagine paying £34 to watch Aberdeen the last 2 seasons? Even some of the wins were brutal to watch.

I'm sure if you called the ticket office someone might be able to advise. It is their job after all.

Hope so but I doubt it.

Probably about 16,000

Good crowd for Ross County at home. How much more do you think we would get if we made it £28 a ticket instead of £32?

Probably not a lot more. There's parts of the main stand closed and there will be a "socially distanced" area, which will also reduce the capacity down a bit.

Exactly. Makes business sense to keep the price higher while the demand is there. Just thinking as a business would think. Once we get back to normal and everybody has been back a couple of times Im sure normal service will resume.

The main stand is only closed for the European games.
