Aberdeen denied 50-50 ticket split for Viaplay Cup final against Rangers.
The Viaplay Cup final between Rangers and Aberdeen will not have a 50-50 split of fans inside Hampden Park.
The Pittodrie club has hit out at the SPFL after this morning it emerged they were denied the chance of an even amount of tickets for the showpiece encounter as Rangers. The teams will face off at the national stadium on Sunday, December 17 as Philippe Clement and Barry Robson both aim to win their first trophy as manager of their respective clubs.Earlier this week Dons chiefs pitched their case for additional tickets with the decision makers over the matter, however, the SPFL have decided that they will receive the same amount of tickets as they did for the 2018/19 final against Celtic.
We take a range of factors into consideration, including the number of tickets each club sells in the Semi-Finals, as well as their historic ticket sales in any previous League Cup Finals and Semi-Finals. In addition, the design of the stadium and its ability to split sections is a major factor which influences our decisions, together with input from safety and security authorities to ensure fan safety and appropriate segregation.
An Aberdeen statement reads:"The club robustly put its case to the SPFL to treat both teams fairly with an even share of tickets given that Hampden is a neutral venue. Much to our extreme disappointment and frustration, this proposal was rejected by the SPFL."Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
