Sheepo Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Honestly it’s embarrassing how many have fallen for and are passing on this ridiculous crap about Huns and tickets. You need a Dons ID which you cannot get unless you are buying an ST or a ticket for Non scum games for the first time, the only way they could get tickets is if DONS fans bought for them 3 Link to comment

TynesideDon Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I find it incredible that not one of them have been able to prove that they've bought tickets in our end. No screenshots (with seat numbers etc hidden) or anything like that. Can't believe so many are falling for it. Last time we played them at Hampden our end was half empty which was the ideal chance for them to infiltrate and they didn't. Link to comment

WesthillWanderersFC Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Are we really to believe that folk that drink toilet water out of Seville toilets have the wherewithal to set up a Dons account AND have a previous purchase history for buying tickets for Dons games (provided the last bit was required)? As I said earlier, I do hope a few slip the net. It’ll make it a far more interesting & entertaining afternoon seeing a few getting their faces re-arranged (& probably better than the shite on the pitch). FTHB Link to comment

Voffov Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I see Burrows said that the club will "learn from" this fiasco. Clearly they've not learned from when they did similar before, e.g. putting Apollo Limassol away tickets on general sale straight away, with holidaymakers buying them all before many regulars even got a sniff.

NorfolkDandy Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 What's happening with the additional 2500 tickets, taking us up to our 19500 allocation? Why is it taking so long to confirm that 'we have them' and are finalising distribution? I smell shite here, and have my doubts we'll see them - What then? Link to comment

There were obviously caveats put on us getting them. Need to sell out before this date to get them. We've sold out so they're ours. The SPFL were no doubt thinking they'd be giving them to the hun.

Agreed. I think they had them earmarked for the hun. And the fact we've sold out so quickly will have disappointed the SPFL who weren't prepared for it. 1 Link to comment

Tommy Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 They asked people to join the waiting list by 5pm tomorrow. I guess that once that time has lapsed they will start offering every qualifying fan the chance to purchase. I doubt there will be silly numbers and everyone due a ticket on merit will get one.

Macski Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 It's now saying on the afc website that they're expecting around 2000 more tickets! Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I'd imagine they've closed the office so the staff can spend the day sifting through the applications for extra tickets and ranking everyone accordingly. Providing a list of 2500 plus pledged sales to the SPFL will solidify the request for the remaining allocation. Nae need for constant updates. They've told us they are waiting for tickets and they've asked folk if they want to join the waiting list. Link to comment
