How delighted am I to be able to start this topic!?!

 

I have checked the previous fixtures and no-one has more than one booking so we don't have any suspensions for the final this time!

Tactics and type of personnel have to be the same as yesterday, positive line up and have ago. While it wasn't the attacking performance we wanted I believe it was set up to be and brought a positive mindset to the players. We can't go in to the tic game with a defensive line up and formation and try to absorb pressure. Same as the cup final in Hayes last game where we lost in the last minute, be brave and I think we are due a win. The tic are nothing special and inconsistent these days, and very beatable.

Pure speculation from the D.M. a non story, but as stated on several occasions before, start off with 50/50 split.

It's always a 50/50 split for finals, so unless AFC state otherwise it will be

20,000 tickets in the South and West.

The club have negotiated 20,000 tickets for this match, with Dons supporters situated in the South Stand and West Stand at Hampden. Based on past attendance figures for Aberdeen versus Celtic in a Final at Hampden of 18,000 (2016 League Cup Final) and 20,000 (2017 Scottish Cup Final), the AFC Board took the decision to underwrite and thereby guarantee 16,400 (over 80%) seats, ensuring our most loyal supporters get access to the best seats available.

 

Duncan Fraser, Aberdeen FC Chief Executive, said: “Our supporters have been our number one priority through our discussions. The fans that backed the team at the Semi Final were fantastic and to ensure our supporters most deserving get access to the seats they desire the Board had no hesitation in securing a significant allocation of tickets. The decision to allow those that attended the Semi Final to come in at the first phase followed feedback from our supporters”.

 

“We can now look forward in anticipation to an exciting League Cup Final, one which we hope will spark the imagination of not just our supporters, but the City as a whole.”

So no 50/50 split then?  Probably about the right figure mind

Om a purely selfish basis, I'm happy enough with that and guaranteed my ticket

I think we're given option of 50-50 but the club has to pay for them up front. Thus AFC don't want to be left with 5K unsold tickets.

Given the number of freebies given to sponsors etc that pretty much is 50/50

I'd be amazed if there was a clamour for more than 20k. Doesn't impact me mind. Sure all those wanting will get one 

No North Stand tickets is a bit of a cunt.

Absolutely

Just checked my loyalty points for the first time ever and can easily get tickets in the first release.

 

I had a horrible feeling I would have been well down the pecking order for tickets with all this DNA shyte.

Got my tickets last night, and have to say I was very impressed with the online process.

Me too. Shite seats. Wasn't impressed with all the glory hunters able to swan online and get tickets before superfans like myself.

 

Again, Hampden should be split vertically so that more fans can get a seat with a view. We should have had the North stand going into the wings. That way we'd have had about 12K of good seats.

 

£31 for a restricted/binocular view seat. £38 if you want that ticket posted to yer house.

13,000 sold in the first hours of being on sale.

Hope abody on here has secured their ticket

So that was correct, I thought it was an error.  I have pretty shit seats too, but won't be complaining when Shinnie lifts the trophy.

Aye, it was the same for the semi. £7 recorded delivery. Shocking like.

 

I'll bring my phone so I can watch it on the telly close up.

Over 15,000 tickets gone.

 

Better hurry up lads and get yours

Is it too soon to bring this out?

I don't get the ticket sales for this one. We got one for my 17 year old daughter, simply because she's never ever seen the Dons draw let alone lose so she's coming along as the lucky charm but she's attended no more than half a dozen games in her life. That can't be right, that some of us can get as many tickets as we want but many genuine supporters will lose out?

It's based on feedback, on fans saying they want to be able to sit with their mates and that limiting sales meant they couldn't, as that this was impacting in the atmosphere. So in this instance the club should be commended for listening to feedback.

 

Needs worked on - maybe every person should have a minimum number of loyalty points.
