Stupie82 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 What do we expect for this? Likey a huge demand, Huns or tims will want over half and use today's attendance as ammo for fighting that cause. We should get half no matter what but first tickets will likely go to supporters groups and those with a large amount of loyalty points and then filter down from there to those with hardly any. I reckon maybe 2 tickets max, will likely mean many will miss out. Quote
manc_don Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Time for this to return: I'm quite confident i'll miss out, having not been to a game since last season. But, I'll need to book flights up sharpish Quote
Ritchie Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Already told papa bear to see about a ticket for me. Already told the boss to be prepared to book time off work for me to fly home! Checked flight prices ready to book! I have no intention of missing this unless its forced on me. Already noted my feelings on how the ticket allocation might go. I do think they'll use our semi final attendance as an excuse o deny half n half! Either way i pray i get a ticket n make it. First time under this scenario i'v contradicting feelings! Usually curse all the stay away fans even at home games but i'v become one. I usually attended all games i could (since march missed all due to work relocation in oz) and only managed one in august with trip home. But do believe i'v enough in the bank to deserve a ticket, take work location and commitment out of it and i'd have definately been there today as usual! Quote
Obanred Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Ah well, I winna be getting tae the final :'( Got an 80th birthday party that day. Might slip away quietly to the bar for the game right enough. :thumbsup: Quote
Stupie82 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Report Posted October 22, 2016 These are some of the semi final attendances over the last few years!! They havent got a leg to stand on. Quote

But, I'll need to book flights up sharpish It just depends how they distribute the tickets. If its 2 per season ticket holder then likelihood is the majority will go and there will be a mad scramble for any that are left. If its one ticket per season ticket holder, unlikely IMO, then theres always a chance. The club need to be swift on their decision about this. They appear to have worked on the basis of loyalty points previously and I imagine this will be no different. Quote
tom_widdows Posted October 23, 2016 Report Posted October 23, 2016 Given Last seasons scottish cup final was split 50-50 there has been some sort of precedent set for finals involving one OF team. Of course Scottish football has never been one for consistency Quote
BigAl Posted October 23, 2016 Report Posted October 23, 2016 Once they take off corporates etc, both clubs will get a fairly even of 22,500. Quite how AFC decide to allocate is anyone's guess. In my opinion one season ticket should equal one cup final ticket. Loyalty points must however come into play, we've bought tickets for Tuesday night to boost ours already. Quote
sheepcrooky Posted October 23, 2016 Report Posted October 23, 2016 The loyalty point system is by far the fairest way to handle ticket distribution. I think however, every person in the high end categories of loyalty points will be able to get two tickets each. If everybody with a high points tally or season ticket was to take up their two tickets (if that is what is offered) each, then there would be little to go round for everybody else. At the end of the day, some people will miss out, but hopefully 20,000+ Dandies get there. Quote

We took 40,000 to Parkhead, so i would imagine there will still be plenty disappointed folk. That said, all ST holders will have an option to go, so they will be covered regardless. I have seen many comments elsewhere about ST holders only getting 1 ticket each, but cant see that being the case at all. Maximum 2 i would imagine. Quote
Stupie82 Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Posted October 23, 2016 I have seen a lot of speculation about kick off times. Screenshotted this off of the SPFL website, so will be 3PM on the Sunday! Quote
tom_widdows Posted October 23, 2016 Report Posted October 23, 2016 BT will have the final say unfortunately but 3pm looks the the most logical They have nothing scheduled for that day and are up against 3 English premier games on sky which kick off at 12pm, 215pm, & 430pm Quote

Sounds very likely it will be 3. Quote
Stupie82 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Posted October 25, 2016 50/50 Split has been confirmed. Ticket prices are £35 for all stands. Quote
OxfordDon Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 i'm still miffed they moved the date of the final - it used tae always fall on or next to my birthday. I was looking forward tae another nice birthday present from the Dons, what they gave me in 2014 was ace Quote
manc_don Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 50/50 Split has been confirmed. Ticket prices are £35 for all stands. Well that's got to be a Scottish football first, logic! Fantastic news Quote
OxfordDon Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 Good bit of pre-emptive indignation from Deek to secure this, seems we are finally cottoning on to how Scottish football works. Quote
tom_widdows Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 i'm still miffed they moved the date of the final Think you are the only person I've seen complaining about it being shifted back to the original St Andrews Weekend date. Another example Cockwomble and his cronies having to backtrack after trying to copy Englandshire Quote

tlg1903 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 Good bit of pre-emptive indignation from Deek to secure this, seems we are finally cottoning on to how Scottish football works. Yeah it really was nicely played wasn't it. Quote
tom_widdows Posted October 26, 2016 Report Posted October 26, 2016 more effective than Anne Robinson was back in 2000 Quote
Edinburghdon Posted October 26, 2016 Report Posted October 26, 2016 I'd imagine paying for a 50% allocation up front was the only reason we got it... Quote
BigAl Posted October 26, 2016 Report Posted October 26, 2016 I'd imagine paying for a 50% allocation up front was the only reason we got it... Fair enough provided the Victims had to do the same for their 50% Quote
CvB Posted October 27, 2016 Report Posted October 27, 2016 Fair enough provided the Victims had to do the same for their 50% Did we pony up the cash up front or just guarantee the money in the event that they went unsold? Quote
