mizer Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 http://aberdeen.stv.tv/articles/264360-aberdeen-politicians-have-clashed-over-50000-free-football-ticket-plan/ I see there's an article saying there was a "Political storm" over the plans, nothing to say the plans have been shelved though from what I can find. The council appear to have voted on the plans and approved them too. http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/CouncilNews/ci_cns/pr_CommonGoodFootball_140214.asp Intriguing - where is the cash then? Quote
Edinburghdon Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 Intriguing - where is the cash then? Probably the same place as it was before... Can't see anywhere stating that this isnt going ahead so I presume the money is still in the common good fund until the tickets are purchased etc. Quote

mizer Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Apparently up to 1.5k folk standing ootside Pittodrie trying to get tickets Quote
Edinburghdon Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Apparently up to 1.5k folk standing ootside Pittodrie trying to get tickets No, there's nae. Quote
Kowalski Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 I'm begging to wonder if I'll get tickets, I can't purchase until next Monday as I don't have a buying history for this season plus I ditched my season ticket after McGhee's 1st season, and my shares are not enough to get me a ticket. I guess it serves me right however I bet there's many with tickets already who have not been to a game in many many years! Quote
mizer Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 No, there's nae. Are you lurking around the Merkland road again........ This is another guys who says the line does go up the road - pob not that many as the other guys said though Quote

Kowalski Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Strange, just went onto the AFC ticket website and bought 3 tickets, despite not meeting the criteria. Quote
wi_09 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Strange, just went onto the AFC ticket website and bought 3 tickets, despite not meeting the criteria. Heard some people saying you can buy them from Today as long as you have a purchasing history on the database - not just a purchasing history from this season. If that is the case I could easily see us selling the our initial allocation. Has anyone heard anything about us asking for an extra 10,000 tickets? I was hearing that over the weekend. Quote

mizer Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 was anyone able to phone in and book tickets... poor mum had to wait ages and kept retrying the number just to get line busy errors... Think she gave up after 2 hours constantly redialing... just tried logging into my account and the password isnt working.. Hebrew managed to get through to sort our cup tickets this afternoon Quote
tom_widdows Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Posted March 4, 2014 http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/20140304/scottish-league-cup-final-_2217950_3697586 The Club can now confirm that ticket sales for our forthcoming Scottish League Cup Final against Inverness CT on Sunday 16th Match are now in excess of 30,000f No Pressure now lads Quote
Goldie03 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Hebrew managed to get through to sort our cup tickets this afternoon That was the internet - I wasn't paying attention tho and I have ordered the wrong concession tickets Quote
mizer Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 That was the internet - I wasn't paying attention tho and I have ordered the wrong concession tickets Ach Im sure it will be fine. Quote
CtS Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Getting ahead of myself a bit here, but imagine if we also make it to the Scottish cup final, against Utd or the Huns, there's gonna be an awful lot of disappointed dons fans missing out on tickets. I think there would be an argument for using Murrayfield with its additional 7k capacity. Quote

I think there would be an argument for using Murrayfield with its additional 7k capacity. Murrayfield's pitch would kybosh that. It is infested with a type of worm that doesn't allow the grass to bed in properly, so the top surface comes away when a boot goes into it. (it may well have been sorted by now right enough but that was certainly the case a few weeks ago) Quote
CtS Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Aye you're right, think it churned up really badly during the England game and they mentioned that. Well we could potentially only get between 25-28k allocation if we get there, now that will be a scramble for tickets. Quote
mizer Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Caley fans are getting bated by country fans who took 20k to the Scottish cup final. Quote
alfromsleep Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Stolen from Mad but how good would it be to have thousands congegrate in George Square then march to the game Strathclyde Polis would shit themselves and we'd get some good banter with the locals Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Caley fans are getting bated by country fans who took 20k to the Scottish cup final. Did Kenny Rodgers do the half time entertainment that day? Quote
mizer Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Did Kenny Rodgers do the half time entertainment that day? Anyway - club just said only 3k tickets left Quote
Nellie The Don Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Anyway - club just said only 3k tickets left For the whole stadium, or from what's been allocated thus far? Quote

mizer Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 For the whole stadium, or from what's been allocated thus far? 3000 seats with the restricted view left our of 40k allocation. Apparently police don't want us above Caley fans so not looking like we will get more tickets. Quote
