The Club robustly put its case to the SPFL to treat both teams fairly with an even share of tickets, given Hampden is a neutral venue and, as such, presented an option that would split the allocation for the match evenly between both competing finalists.

The proposal suggested AFC hold back five sections on the east side of the North Stand, selling them to Dons supporters should demand require it. If, however, by an agreed date it was clear that wasn’t going to be the case, the tickets could then be allocated to our opponents in plenty of time in which to sell them.

Much to our extreme disappointment and frustration, this proposal was rejected by the SPFL, who cited operational challenges and attendances at previous Semi Finals/Finals as the principal reasons for their determination.

As a result, Aberdeen will have up to 19,500 tickets covering the South Stand (lower and upper sections) and the East Stand.

We are pleased to confirm that, following our request and as agreed by Rangers FC, concession tickets will be available in all stands. In previous games at Hampden, only Dons fans sitting behind the goal (either East or West Stands) would’ve been able to take advantage of this category, which didn’t give families much flexibility on where they could watch the match. This has been rectified for this forthcoming final.

We look forward to selling every single ticket we have, ensuring a large, noisy Red Army for our first final in five years.
