LochendBilly 8,423 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 No surprise there but what chance of selling them? No fucking chance! "Chief executive Duncan Fraser expects Aberdeen to get 50% of the tickets for the League Cup semi-final against Rangers on 28 October. Aberdeen face Rangers at 12:00 GMT before Hearts take on celtic at 19:45. The scheduling of both semi-finals at Hampden on the same day has caused controversy, with the Dons and Hearts concerned about travel arrangements for their supporters. "Our expectation would be a 50-50 allocation to start with," said Fraser. "Historically, many years ago a group of Aberdeen supporters fought with the Scottish FA to ensure that Aberdeen received a 50-50 allocation." Aberdeen is around 150 miles from Glasgow and the first train between the two cities on 28 October arrives 14 minutes after the first semi-final is scheduled to kick off."

kanjo 26,390 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 They should get allocations based on their home attendances, but I suppose a 80/20 split would be unfair afterall. Blumhoilann and jintybear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,269 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Make them pay up front. They fail to sell then it's non refundable. Sell tickets in block areas working from the main stand round, any unsold would then become available to us. Simpes.

BLUEDIGNITY 33,709 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Of course they do, you didn't think because our fans fill their grounds week in week out and fill their coffers with cash that they would give quarter ?

shaka 1,720 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 If they get 50-50, then there should be severe financial penalties for failing to sell them. After all it is national semi-final and will be embarrassing to Scottish football if tv audiences were to see empty seats. A million pounds for every seat they fail to sell seems fair.....
