Match Thread Dundee 1 - 2 Aberdeen

[Topi Kat]

Only 140 odd tickets left for this in the main stand. But, £30 (+£1 booking fee) for Dens Park? Have we became victims of our own gloriously attended away support?

Absolute piss take by Scumdee here.

We charge away fans £29 so not really much difference. Both prices are too high.

That’s not a very nice thing to say.

[GeorgeStreetReds]

Been a fair few years since we required the Main Stand at Dens. Away allocation must be about 4,000 with the Main Stand area included.

The Dons are well & truly back.

I guess they need to pay for that new pitch and SPFL fine somehow, but it's verging on the ridiculous when you compare ticket prices in Europe. When you factor in fuel, food etc, it's a super expensive day out for what is, or was, a working man's/woman's/trans/non-binary game.

Agreed. Riding the crest of a wave right now. Be interesting to see when (not if) we hit a speed bump, just how the support continues to be so positive. Think folk are buying into it all now, you know, the need to get behind the side/players even when we're not performing at our best.

We're due them a skudding as it transpires, so here's to an epic support roaring us on to 3 points.

I hope we are a lot better in supporting the team when that happens than we have been in the past, myself included.

4200 is the max an away support can get (3000 plus 1200 in Main Stand. 

It looks highly probable we'll take that.

They’ve opened block C in the main stand now

I'd say we've already sold over 3,600 so should sell out the extra 600 over the next week fairly easily, especially if we win tomorrow.

[Durrant Dived]

The ticket system is a fucking mess. Wouldn't allow me to buy 5 in a row as it left the 6th and last in the row "on its own". 

Ended up with 1-3-1 over 3 rows. Shambles.

In.

Winning the lot

Get yourself a recognised disability with a wheelchair , then you can get both yourself and your essential companion into the disability area for £20 inc

 

The risk is how to choose and achieve your desired outcome without killing yourself 😎
 

Think of the savings over a season..

He could probably qualify via a mental disability?

First trip to Dens for me since the glorious 2-1 defeat in 2021 - got a better feeling about this one.

I hope Scotrail are imposing their strict no alcohol rule on the trains from Aberdeen to Dundee that morning.

LNER has the same rule. It's Scottish government thing, not the rail companies.

No that's not right, it only applies on Scotrail services which is ultimately owned by the Scottish Government. LNER is not.

You are allowed to drink on LNER services in Scotland.

I had to double check this as I was on an LNER service a couple of weeks ago and they had an alcohol ban in place. Apparently its something they do on Fridays.

Thanks for letting me know.

[Frank Grimes]

Only around 250 tickets left

From my experience they don’t really enforce it too much as long as you aren’t taking the piss

Mind going to Newcastle on a stagger with @Byrne Baby Byrne and to avoid the 10am booze ban, got the boozy 8am train instead.

Successful journey.

FYI - Booze is still served in First Class on dry LNER trains
