Aberdeen away tickets are on sale...

Which utter melt threatened to do a freedom of information request for Aberdeen ticket allocation?

Which utter melt threatened to do a freedom of information request for Aberdeen ticket allocation?

That “utter melt” would have been me - although it wasn’t for the ticket allocation it was to find out how many supporters we have in each points bracket

And yes, working for government myself, I did know the club wasn’t eligible for a FOI request, but wasn’t obviously wasn’t thinking

[Lancasterclaret]

Thanks for the clarification, that makes much more sense.

Apologies for calling you an utter melt, but I was going of the information provided by paultky.

I've been reading about some fans not being happy about not being able to get tickets using the foundation and then people making stuff up because they can't get tickets and I'd just about had enough. Didn't one threaten legal action at some stage?

Apologies again

[paulatky]

But why was that post deleted ?
The site editor could just said what I did that it didnt apply.
And why delete my reply.
I have always thought skullduggery was involved to some degree in the issue if tickets but after seeing whats happened on here and ofher social media platforms wuth deleted tbreads I am niw certain,
I dont mind if tbe supporters ckubs get a blanket allocatiob of tickets abd if the ticket office staff can allocate a certain number of tickets to fanily and fruends but just lets be honest about it.
Isnt honesty one of SD's core values

[wilks_bfc]

It’s fine. I’ve been called much worse

I’ve not seen all the posts so didn’t see anything like that but based on ones I did see I wouldn’t be surprised

[Lancasterclaret]

It would actually be pretty interesting to see how many fans we have in each bracket now you mention it.

[paulatky]

Thr post had been deletef lancasterclaret and I couldnt remember the exaxt detail.
Only that I had replied to a post about FOI.
I dont spend all my time on here and dont ofteb post,only when I feel strongly about a subject

[cricketfieldclarets]

It was prior to that. And I can only assume its to take away any attention from the prior posts? Which were personal, abusive and probably even worse!

[paulatky]

Are you a mod Lancasterclaret ?

[Loyalclaret]

Count up has taken a while?

At this point they usually take them off line and make it ticket office only when stocks are low?

Sure the ticket office staff have had to deal with some crap over this game.

[Awayfromburnley]

There are tickets left but the dot matrix printer has packed in. They are just awaiting a new ribbon so the sales can crack on.

In seriousness, how does our experience of buying tickets compare to other clubs?

[Leisure]

On sale with 5000+ points at 9.30am today and 4000+ on Monday.

[Pimlico_Claret]

Just got mine at 09.26

[Leisure]

Showing Sold Out at the minute.

[jedi_master]

The second I logged on was 09.30, it immediately said sold out.

If they were sold out yesterday, why not just say?

[Pimlico_Claret]

Must have been some left, as I said I logged on a few minutes before 9.30 and got one

[Leisure]

Maybe they are just re-stocking the system after overnight sales.

[claretonthecoast1882]

I have just ordered 1 more for a mate with just over 5000 and its gone through and the order number is under 1500

[jedi_master]

No answer at the ticket office and the online continues to say sold out...

[ClaretJimmy]

Got mine just before 9:30 but there can't have been many left to be gone within minutes. Wonder why the posted about 4000 points club on Monday

[jedi_master]

Any left are for friends of players pending final count some more may be released for 5000 points plus only.

As per ticket office who I just sped to from Todmorxen.

[wilks_bfc]

Club just announced now sold out

[aggi]

It would actually be pretty interesting to see how many fans we have in each bracket now you mention it.

Other clubs do announce that, obviously ticket sales are a bit more secretive at Burnley though.

[quoonbeatz]

Been a complete joke again from the start this. From the ridiculous points totals to the complete lack of communication and information so that people can make informed decisions, to the bizarre adding of a further priority period yesterday when it must have been clear they'd sell out today.

Whoever is in charge of this farce really needs sacking because they are simply not up to the job.

[levraiclaret]

This happened to me also, pretty cheesed off, left with a flight Birmingham - Aberdeen, considering changing it to Amsterdam in September at a cost of £80. I wouldn't have bought it if I had known they were recategorising the loyalty point bands.

It would help to know how many supporters were in each band.

[Murger]

The whole thing has been a farce from start to finish. I'm 99% certain the players/staff have taken at least half of the allocation. It's a joke.

[jrgbfc]

I spoke to someone last night who told me all executive box holders at the Turf could claim six tickets. That gives an idea how many are disappearing to players, staff, sponsors etc. 300 or 400 out of a 2 thousand allocation is way too many.

It's the lack of transparency that's off, not necessarily the allocation. Executive Box holders put a lot of money in. It's a standard thing for players to get them. The directors goes without saying. Other staff? I can certainly see how/why that might be a perk of the job in some roles. While, yes, you and I are cheering them on away, the club gets £1.50 less admin costs for that ticket we bought. How do you balance those? Everyone would come to a different conclusion but the club should have the stand by its decisions and be upfront about it. Unless of course it's either all a bit random or they feel it's not justifiable.

[MarbellaClaret]

Going without UTC

[Barry_Chuckle]

Any left are for friends of players.

Friends of players....... I wonder how many points they have?

Family of players, fine, but friends......... really?

Thats not true. I know a few box holders. One of whom said same before they went on sale and said he would get me one. Hes left ****** off as box holders got zero priority.

Agree the whole thing has been a farce. However, players certainly haven't been a large allocation. The family I know of one player haven't been able to get a single ticket, in spite of being keen to go. What was also interesting, was that they were frustrated about booking accommodation, flights etc, because no information was given to players either, about whether they would be able to claim tickets, so they couldn't take the risk.

Well I know for a fact that a member of staff manages to get 4 tickets off a player.

The idea that players and staff got half the allocation is complete rubbish simply because supporters with only 5000 points had a chance to buy them.

If what you said was true then no-one below 7000 points would have had any chance whatsoever due to limited availability.

Believe me or not, I know it to be true. My mate has nowhere near enough loyalty points, yet has managed to get 4 tickets. Care to tell me how if what I say is BS?

Because people with only 5000 points were able to get tickets!

If demand was so great they wouldn't have stood a chance, but because they did suggests the full allocation was available.

If there were only just over 1000 available how can people far down the pecking order get tickets via the official site?

Surely they would all be sold out long before then.

[gandhisflipflop]

**** up and brewery come to mind when i think of some in that ticket office (not all).

Not true, confirmed to
Myself by ticket office players got 4 free tickets and can buy as many tickets as they want. One player got 40
