Season tickets are purchased for certain areas of the ground. Some areas will be sold in greater frequency than others. They are selling seats next to each other. If more people buy a ticket for Section A rather than Section B does that mean Section B seats are guaranteed entry but Section A are not? Some areas of the ground cost more than others or have different rates depending on age. Are they going to guarantee tickets for those in more expensive seats. I keep being told that Aberdeen are being very open but I don't think they've full explained how this is going to work but have nevertherless continued to punt season tickets These questions aren't issues at the moment will there's goodwill and righteousness about saving the club. They only become an issue when some season ticket holders get into matches whilst others don't. I have no idea what you mean that I'm "not arguing in good faith". I'm expressing my point of view, that's all.. You genuinely can't be this dense? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I think the first 7500 will be pretty pleased just to be in the ground at all, and their choice of seat is very much a secondary concern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make this call & are still not happy, then by all means complain about this. It just seems like a fairly niche area of complaint, which leads me to draw that conclusion. If you are an Aberdeen fan, then please accept my apologies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a diehard but I love the club nevertheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's if it a limited capacity is 7,500...to be honest if I'd paid the guts of £400 for a season ticket then I would expect entry to be a given and view of the match very much a primary concern...but then that's just me, I'm not one of the club's saviours like those first 7,500.

d31 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Griffiths would be a brilliant signing for any team in Scotland or England this summer. No debate required. Celtic would be stupid to let him go unless they categorically know Edouard is staying this summer. It's a long time until the transfer window closes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only 2 teams Griffiths could go in Scotland his beloved Hibs and the dandies anybody posting he would disrupt the dressing room hasn't got a clue about football. Lennon has gave Griffiths a choice get your act together or ship out, lets hope he gets the reaction we want not just for Celtic but for the national team tae. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many will have budgeted for it anyway and may not mind paying extra £/game for one year, under exceptional circumstances. Others may choose to wait or spend elsewhere. Nobody is being taken advantage of or having their arm twisted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do you give him to 'get his act together' ? I would truly hate to have him in an Aberdeen team. A guy who doesn't try a leg against Hibs and apologises to his mates when he accidentally sclaffs one in. He failed in England, isn't trusted by his manager(s) at Celtic for European games, but enjoys the comfort blanket of shootie in against Hamilton and St Mirren. He's thick as shit, has a rotten attitude and frankly has under performed given what ability he does have. He's simply a slightly better Derek Riordan. Let him slink off to finish his career at Easter Road bevvying it up with his pals. it's a no thanks from me when it comes to him playing for a decent team.

Well in their marketing emails I'm sent (see below), I'm told that being one of the first 7,500 season ticket holders "guarantees" access to partial crowd games. Is it a fait accompli then that 7,500 Aberdeen fans will be allowed in Pittodrie under a partial reopening? I haven't seen that mentioned by the Scottish Government yet. As far as I'm aware, Scotland still maintains a two metre social distance policy. I thought 7,500 was projected under a one metre social distance. I don't think they should be guaranteeing anything that is out with their power. I think it's misleading and taking advantage of supporters who think 7,500 is definite under partial re-opening. I think they're twisting people's arms by promising access to see their team if they purchase a season ticket quickly...

DrewDon Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Griffiths would be an excellent signing and by far the best striker McInnes has had in his time with us. Shame it's not going to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they need to explain that if partial re-opening allows for less than 7,500 to attend then obviously all of the first 7500 who've signed up can't attend. It's such a blatantly obvious thing. This complaint is incredibly petty, feels like looking for an excuse to complain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 4 hours ago, Bogbrush1903 said: If your club's stadium has a capacity of 10,000 seats and it's sold out to that capacity; however it's currently under construction to increase the capacity to 11,000 but it won't be ready until a later point in the season at an unspecified date. Do you not think it's slightly dishonest to sell tickets above the 10,000 capacity from the start of the season? Who's doing that? We're building a new stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
