Rightly so, if they can sell them. But start block by block so any blocks they can’t sell, we get.

It's the sensible approach mate. 

However being Scottish football the sensible approach will go out the window. 

Empty seats again when they can't sell their full allocation.

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."

train you say!

Their season ticket holders will be allowed to buy 3 or 4 each then like the debacle at the hibs cup final , I’m not giving a fuck what they say or what they think is fair, no club with 10 to 12k season ticket holders should be entitled to 25 thousand tickets

50% - of hampden a joke - they're gonna get +25,000 sheep supporters 150 miles away. 

Canny even manage that at pittodrie, 15 minutes away from home. 

They will come in their droves. Not because it's a semi final, but because it stops us getting additional allocation.

Scum and sheep fans get on well these days too. Wouldn't be surprised to hear of scum fans in their end too.

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.

That's exactly what happens already - haven't you been before?

If your being fair to both clubs, it would be a 50/50 split of tickets.  If your being fair to the fans (by definition, those who regularly attend games) then it should be split in proportion to the average home gates, therefore we should get more.  If the authorities decide that the criterion is to be fair to the clubs so be it, but I can do without the MSM making out that this is somehow fair to the fans.

To be fair to the sheep they’ve always brung good numbers to Hampden for cup games.

Bit strange that so many of them can get to the Hampden games, but can't make it to Pittodrie each home game or follow the sheep away.
