Desperados. Really hope no bears go, but think guys who cant usually get access to away tickets might think this is a great opportunity to see the bears away,

On another note, what happens if any bears who did go burst into the BB? Fine for Dundee Hibs?

quoted so you don't have to hit their site:

Following advice from the Scottish FA and discussions with Rangers, ticket prices for the 5th Round Scottish Cup tie on 2 February have been set at £15 Adults and £5 Concessions. A section of the stadium will be reserved for those Rangers fans who wish to attend.

As a point of principle, in the exceptional circumstances whereby we had been instructed not to sell any tickets for this match to away fans, Dundee United had requested the Scottish FA to allow the Club to waive certain conditions of the Rules of the Scottish Cup, under the powers available to them. Although the matter has been considered in some depth by the Scottish FA and their legal advisors, we have now been informed that they are unable to intervene in this matter. In the best interests of the competition, Dundee United will adhere fully to this advice.

Subsequently, reduced admission prices have been agreed in a constructive dialogue with Rangers.

Dundee United Director Derek Robertson said, "While we remain disappointed with the position of Rangers in respect of not taking any tickets for this match, we will not make any statements which may inflame the situation, particularly to avoid encouraging any hostility between our two sets of supporters. Now that ticket prices have been agreed, we hope that everyone can now focus on what matters most; a game of football. For the good of Scottish football and, indeed, the Scottish Cup, we would urge all parties to move on and look forward to the prospect of a terrific Scottish Cup tie in February.

"Although Rangers do not wish to take a ticket allocation for this match, opposition fans are always welcome at Tannadice and we will be happy to reserve an appropriate section of the stadium for any Rangers fans who wish to attend this fixture."

Ticket sale arrangements:

Tickets will go on priority sale to season ticket holders on Tuesday 8 January from the ticket office in Tannadice Street. This priority period will continue until Thursday 10 January with the general sale of tickets commencing on Friday 11 January.

There will be no restriction in the amount of tickets that can be purchased.

Admission prices for all tiers are as follows:

£15 - Adults

£5 - Concessions - 60s and over/ U-18/ Students with valid photo matriculation card

The club has stated they don't want tickets, so if you support the club............................................

I'd be disappointed if any bears went to be honest

What's interesting is Rangers have obviously agreed to the lower ticket price too,probably as it will encourage more of their lot through the gates resulting in a bigger cut for charity.

I have no doubt that there will be a Rangers support there,the boycott wasn't universal and I've already noticed folk commenting saying they will be going.

Both of them will be delighted they get first dibs.

So,if "fans" turn up,sing banned songs,and as the fans singing these songs are not officially Rangers fans,does this mean Dundee Hibernian get fined as they sold the tickets to to public......?

If yes,anyone fancy some mischief making?

This is silly stupid dangerous idea from Dundee hibs.

Could cause trouble if fans end up in the wrong part of the ground, if they keep 2000 or so tickets for Rangers fans and 3000 or so show up what would happen?

Buying direct from them makes it more likely fans from other obsessed clubs who have already said they will travel to this game might end up in the wrong part of the ground and all the blame would be left at our doorstep.

Basically: After being told to fuck off by the SFA and then being told by Rangers to charge whatever the fuck we wanted as they wont be coming, we are now desperate to get rid of tickets at knockdown prices..
