I see the SPFL are raging because Aberdeen had the audacity to sell tickets in the south stand first where the best seats are before behind the goals meaning any tickets not sold can't go to rangers because of segregation. Why should they give the spfl any help or more importantly rangers any kind of advantage by giving them more tickets? Especially after the huns were bragging in a statement about how hard they fought to make sure the rangers fans weren't sharing the north stand with Aberdeen fans as if they own the stadium and decide where their fans sit.
They've only sold 10k tickets which is poor considering a half 1 kick off isn't that bad for them travelling down but who the **** do the spfl think they are? Imagine the outrage if it was Celtic or rangers being treated like hibs and Aberdeen have over the last year over tickets at that dump. I suppose those who campaigned to save Hampden will be okay with it as that's always been the way. Rangers in the rangers end and Celtic in the Celtic end. What a bizarre footballing country this is.

The other tickets will go on public sale, and as they are in the Celtic end, not many Aberdonian Gers fans will scoop them up!
It may not be a sell out crowd, but at least the Dons have given the SPFL and SFA two fingers!!!!

So Aberdeen are selling tickets in a way that increases the chance of empty seats, decreases the revenue generated by the match, and increases the chance of football fans who want to attend, missing out while there are unsold seats? Do Aberdeen have to cover the cost of unsold tickets?

We done that v Celtic last year by selling tickets in the south, north and west sections.
**** them. Rather empty seats than giving either side of the OF an advantage by allocating them an extra 15k seats. Lost gate money will be pennies as its pooled and split 4-ways.

Dempster/Petrie had the balls to demand the north stand. Seems the dons were happy to forfeit it to the huns.

I don’t think them selling seats in the south is the issue. I think it’s the way they chosen to sell be hind the goals. It’s only those two stands they have.
All their moaning about kick off times, ticket splits etc and they’ll still have thousands of empty seats.

Go on Aberdeen. The unrepentant bias of our national organisation needs to be highlighted at every opportunity.

The next time we play Celtic at Hamdump I'd love us to request the east end for logistical purposes and hear what they say.

On a separate note if we were ever to give up the entire north stand to celtc/sevco I'd be raging.

Aberdeen were never going to sell much tickets but they have done the right thing. Take that Sevco.

Folk slating Aberdeen and saying they’ve ‘blown it for the rest of us’, forgetting the slating we took last year and potentially it is our fault that all this has come about. FWIW I couldn’t care less if one side is empty, every semi and final should be 50:50 if clubs want it, no ifs or buts. That should only change if the opposing club advise they only want X amount of tickets.

Well done Aberdeen. Clubs in Scotland seem to be slowly waking up to how damaging the ugly sisters are to our game.
Still far too many sycophants though, the rest of Scottish football needs to rally and tell them both where to go.

Maybe the knowledge that Aberdeen only selling 15K seats would give Sevco an extra 10K would help with sales too
Generally, it's got to be better for our game if cup finals and semi's are selling out and unfortunately that will sometimes mean the "bigger" team getting more than 50% of the allocation.Mon the Hibs.

Anything that provokes the ire of both the Huns and the SFA while reducing revenue for Hearts, Rangers, Celtic and A’deen is a wonderful thing.

Aberdeen having their allocation reduced due to their inability to sell tickets.
Seems to me kick off time has just been a convenient excuse over the previous years, seeing as even with an acceptable kick off time, their sales are still rubbish.
