Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 So Aberdeen basically gave us the same tickets as Sevco did? Why is Cormack prejudicing attendances like this? Seems mental - of Vlad had been pulling stunts like this and NFT HIB$ tokens he’d be getting an absolute kicking all over the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing isn’t the issue, the points threshold is. Tickets should have went on sale to a loyalty point threshold that allowed everyone a chance to get one, 180/190+, that’s my understanding of how a loyalty points system should work. Like the tickets for Rangers away, then if there were any left over it could then be dropped to 150 points plus. But that would be using common sense twice in a row.

Nelly Terraces Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Only Scottish football, without arguement THE worst run & most tinpot ‘industry’ anywhere in the world, would you get a deliberate policy to stop customers from attending an event. Actually incredible, especially in light of the past year with no crowds. It’d be like attending your local cinema to see the new Bond film & being turned away even though 50% of the seats weren’t taken. I’d have liked to have gone to this game but turns out Aberdeen are so awash with cash they don’t need my money. Ah well, hope the players appreciate running out to a half empty stadium that Saturday. I’ll spend my money elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think you are being fair slagging the whole of Scottish football because of one club. I wonder what they think they are achieving with this policy. Saving a few Bob on stewarding costs when Hibs, Hearts and the OF would bring an extra 10k punters in total through the door. How can they be sure that all their ST holders won't attend or did their ST sales not exceed 9k in the first place. It's a truly baffling decision. Can you imagine the criticism Hearts would get if they tried that ? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is fair when you see headlines like this in the local sheep rag back in November 2020: "Dave Cormack warns Scottish football needs urgent plan of action as Aberdeen figures lay bare £2.92 million operating loss" And: "Cormack fears Scottish football will be altered drastically unless the Scottish Government can give clubs the opportunity to welcome fans back to grounds on a regular basis." Hopefully another straw that will break their weak financial back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my understanding too. Won't be able to please everyone each time but I think the anger is slightly misplaced, should be directed at Aberdeen only giving us 900 tickets yet will have thousands of empty seats, though they're obviously within their rights to do it.
