I’m sure the whole ‘Aberdeen sabotage’ thing was because they sold North stand tickets first, while th SPFL wanted them to sell east stand first with the potential for those tickets to be given to secco.

Gorgie_Rules Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Can’t be far off the 23,000 mark, would expect we’ll make 25,000, think a lot of more casual fans will purchase their tickets the week of the game once the media build up starts.

There was a possibility of Aberdeen getting part of the North stand if they sold virtually all of their initial 16,800 allocation quickly enough - they were against the clock. You can imagine some were holding off buying in the hope that they'd get a shot at the 'good seats'. Stupid system really. Last week they were given an extra 4,400, but in the East and South Stands instead: Aberdeen commercial director Rob Wicks said: “Whilst we are pleased that we have now been able to secure a larger guaranteed allocation of 20,300 tickets for our supporters, the fact that it’s taken 10 days since the semi-final draw leaves a lot to be desired. “These unnecessary delays surrounding the venue and kick off time of our match have impacted upon the time available to sell tickets. Last Friday we were told we’d get the North Stand if we sold substantially all of our initial allocation of 16,800 tickets. “In good faith we gave this information to our fans – only to find out yesterday that in order to get the North Stand we’d have to sell virtually all of our initial allocation of 16,800 tickets in a matter of just a few days, putting us in an impossible position. “I’m sure we can all appreciate the SPFL’s desire to see a full stadium and maximise ticket income for these high-profile fixtures but moving forward allocations have to be done on a basis which puts supporters first and without the time constraints we have seen here. “We at Aberdeen are calling for more transparency within the game in Scotland. Our fans deserve to know these facts. We must put fans first. We sincerely hope the SPFL will have learnt from this experience and that we don’t see a repeat.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fans deserve to know these facts. We must put fans first. We sincerely hope the SPFL will have learnt from this experience and that we don’t see a repeat.” Ah, I had read this and assumed it meant they sold east-end of the north first. Aberdeen are on another collision course with the SPFL amid claims they have sabotaged the sell-out chances of the Betfred Cup semi-final. Furious league bosses have written to the Dons to voice anger at a ticket-selling strategy that could see up to 10,000 Rangers fans miss out on the October 28 clash. The SPFL instructed the Pittodrie club to sell tickets for the east stand at Hampden block by block, allowing unsold tickets to be returned to Rangers. But Aberdeen have sided with their Red Army and refused to sell seats with the worst sight lines in the National Stadium to their most loyal supporters. Aberdeen chairman Stewart Milne was left unimpressed over the semi-final farce (Image: SNS) It’s understood the Dons have sold around 10,000 tickets from their allocation of 20,300 and decided to offer fans the best views from the middle section of each block. Now swathes of seats could go unsold, with segregation impossible, costing the four semi-finalists a cut of an additional six-figure sum. Aberdeen declined to comment but a Pittodrie insider said: “No club worth its salt would consider selling the worst tickets to those who stepped up to buy them first. It makes no business sense and is not a fair way to treat our supporters. The two teams will meet at Hampden “Fans would have held back buying tickets until the best seats eventually became available.” Rangers, with their 26,000 allocation already snapped up, declined to comment, as did the SPFL although their strength of feeling has been outlined in their letter amid suggestions it could become a disciplinary issue. The Dons stance follows chairman Stewart Milne’s call for talks with the SPFL and SFA and for greater transparency in dealing with clubs and fans.

We had sold over 18k by last night so if that 5k figure is accurate, we must be at least over 23k! I too would be pleasantly surprised but etickets looks like a lot sold since I last looked.

So that's 5,200, plus S20 which is much smaller, about 500. So I'd say you're not far out - 5,700+ in the unopened sections. With over 500 left in the sections currently selling, that means roughly 6,300 left to sell. Lots of caveats about reserved blocks not showing on eTickets, not knowing exactly what's been sold at the TO, etc.... But I'm guessing we've shifted over 23,500 so far.
