My original point remains the same, it would have been utterly ridiculous to stick 10k sheep in Murrayfield when we have 30k Hearts fans needing tickets. Not sure why this is upsetting so many people tbh. It’s a shit turn out for Aberdeen and it would have been exacerbated by holding their tie at Murrayfield.

SectionDJambo Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 One thing is for sure. The uptake on these tickets fully justifies the fuss that Hearts made about the crazy arrangements the SPFL originally made. The game is still nothing without the fans who turn up.

Had the match gone ahead as originally scheduled, we'd be lucky to have had half as many fans going through. Even if we didn't have the issue of both OF teams playing in Europe, and the match had been scheduled for a 3pm kick-off at Hampden, Murrayfield would still have made more sense as it's going to allow more fans of both clubs to get to the game.

Our ticket sales have been excellent. This sounds about right. There's no doubt playing at Murrayfield has boosted our numbers compared to a match at Hampden the same day and time IMO just because of the location. It still doesn't give us an advantage in the game as Celtic will still at least equal our turnout. All it does is remove the advantage the OF clubs always have when playing at Hampden to even things up support-wise on the day. I also don't see how playing at Murrayfield would change Aberdeen's turnout one bit. Edited October 19, 2018 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there is hospitality being run at Murrayfield for Hearts and Celtic fans, but given we’re also running our own at Tynecastle uptake my hearts fans is likely to be small. But there’s probably 500 spots for each set of fans. That’s another 1k. The club might actually have got closer to 31k tickets but rounded down. Same for Celtic, so that’s another 2k. SPFL officials, Hampden debenture holder who want to go this game instead of Dons - Sevco, club officials, tickets for players families, etc is probably another 1k... That’s 66k right there.
