 Cup Final Allocation
Topic Originator: Parallel Lines  
Date:   Tue 28 Apr 06:35

Hearing some rumours that our allocation will only be 10000.
Celtic are demanding 35000. There will be no public sale and the ticket price is eye watering. Hope it is just that, a rumour.

Not as eye watering as £450 for ONE WC ticket 😬

Allocation should start at 15,000 given how many we took to the semi.

Celtic doing Celtic things I guess - we shouldn`t really be surprised 🤷‍♀️🤔


COME ON YE PARS!

If they were playing Rangers, they would get less than half the allocation... Thats where the SFA should start wing distribution. If they end up with more through negotiation, then Celtic should count themselves lucky

There`s no way we`re only getting 10000 tickets. Settle

We will get 15000, possibly 17000 if we request more. Season ticket holders will get first dibs, then it`ll go to public sale. Prices will be in line with the semi final, maybe a pound or 2 more.
Rumours are like farts. We hear them often, and they`re usually just hot air

Not a chance we get only 10k when we sold over that for the semi 😂 will be 17k - the cut off will be where the North and West stands meet, like 04. Then Id imagine it will sell from that end round to South Stand, leaving South Upper for if Celtic need it.

There probably won’t be as the sfa will look at it like if we don’t look to be selling that many they can open even more up to Celtic. I think you could probably get about 15-18k Dunfermline fans in there but if you start to give us anymore then the Celtic fans with Dunfermline friends will start to be coming into our section and I’d rather have 10k Dunfermline fans all in the one section than some Celtic fans in the section as well

I hope that the rumours of tkt allocation are wrong. Off hand, how many tkts did we get in the 2007 final? Hindsight and rose tinted glasses are amazing, but we certainly took a good whack through with us. I contacted the club yesterday 28/4, but they had no knowledge as to when tkts would go on sale.....Finaly, anyone on here have an list of contacts for coaches, or maybe the club itself will be the best contact?

I seem to remember a fair bit of rumours and concern before the 2004 game, with the Dunfermline Press publishing an article suggesting Celtic had bought large numbers of tickets in our end.
On the day, there was 1 guy a few rows in front of me put out by pars fans around him, other than that there wasn`t any issue that I saw.
The difference being you had to actually queue up for a ticket then, whereas now you can buy from your phone anywhere in the country. I`m not sure if that would make it easier or harder for them to buy in our end, but I don`t think it`s been much of an issue in any of the recent finals the OF have been involved in.

Opening it up to season ticket holders only first might help if there was to be an issue. Even allowing them to buy more than the 20 we were allowed for semi. Last season Aberdeen have their own points system so sold out through that without it being open to the public. Not sure you can stop them if it went on general sale straightaway.

Not saying they definitely would but they have an easier chance

I don`t remember a lot of celtic fans in the Dunfermline end, although there were some in 2004 who were delt with by the Pars fans and ejected.

I would imagine the same would happen this time, if they make themselves visible they will be delt with and ejected, a bit of a waste of £42 for them.

It’s inevitable there will be supporters of other clubs in the Pars section who are friends or relatives of Pars supporters. That will probably include some Celtic fans. How many of us have gone incognito in similar situations?
So long as they behave and keep a low profile what’s the problem?

Very disappointed that as a lifelong Pars fan who now lives in Warwickshire could miss out as a result of season card holders able to purchase up to 26 tickets, wow! Having attended the semifinal I would have expected all semifinal supporters would have been given an option to buy for the final.

16 tickets per season card might even impact some season card holders if many max out on tickets.

I`m purely speculating here, and might be wrong, but I`d be surprised if the club couldn`t help a few of you guys out when the general sale happens. If you can speak to them, and have some way of proving you`re a Pars fan (shirt, scarf etc) I suspect the club will have access to some tickets. I don`t imagine they will turn away genuine fans. This is just a mechanism to prevent Celtic buying in large numbers.
I think I`d be making a wee call to the club to see if they can help in any way.
Further, there`s still an opportunity to create an online account, and buy a ticket for either tomorrow`s game or next week`s playoff. That would give you access to the final.

For those with no previous ticket purchases, you can do a couple of things.
If you know a season ticket holder, ask them to get you one or call the shop. They are usually more than happy to help out.
I get that many are travelling from abroad/England etc so common sense will prevail.

Fingers crossed, I`m getting in a panic now.
Been to 3 games this season and bought tickets via the DAFC app, so I`ll try to contact the shop as you mention.
If not, if any season ticket holders here are willing to help out, I`ll be eternally grateful.

17k is some allocation! 16 per ST does seem a tad much, but also remember there will be plenty ST holders that will be buying for more than one ST - so in those 16 you could have 16 Season tickets. Im sure there will be a good 4-5k tickets still to go once general sale starts.

Im now going to go hunting for the meltdowns on the Celtic boards to us getting as many as we have got! It will be glorious to see 😂

Aye, but I`ll be bringing the missus (her first Pars game). I`ve not read anything regarding the number of tickets being made available for general sale per person (unless I`ve missed it). As long as we`re sat together, I don`t care where in the Pars end we are.

There will be plenty tickets available after the initial season ticket sale. I know I’ll be buying 16 but all are season ticket holders. Will be others doing the same I would imagine.

I know a lot of people have already booked buses, so hopefully they will get a ticket.

I would have thought that there will be a few thousand that make general sale.

Will be a great atmosphere in the Pars end, still remember the 2004 final with the sea of black and white.

You’ll be fine mate. Vast majority of ST holders will not be buying 16 tickets especially as half of them are kids.
I remember 2004 final well and the scramble for tickets with it being our first final in 26 years.
There were more than enough.
I’d say there will be minimum 5/6000 left for general sale and you’ll be fine to get one for your wife as well.

I hope so - I`m in the same boat not being a season ticket holder but attending most games.

Can`t see why the club couldn`t put something in place for everyone who bought a Semi ticket, given it`s the same system being used.

`16 tickets for season ticket holders. In what world is that acceptable?`

I take your point, Dundee, as I`m a non-season ticket holder who has been to about 80% of games this season, home and away.

However, I`ve asked a season ticket holding friend - who doesn`t need 16 tickets - to get me 5, which he`s happy to do.

Sorted.

Honestly. If my 9yr old daughter misses out on the final after going to the Semi and getting excited about it, then I`m done with the club tbh.

Hopefully my fears are not realised, but I can`t understand why they couldn`t give those that went to the semi an opportunity to get tickets,

The club have created a situation where your can miss it because you don`t know a season ticket holder. I`d love to understand how they arrived at this. Just another case of a mess that surely shouldn`t happen when you`ve got a highly paid CEO.

If you went to the semi, you will have either bought the tickets yourself, or have proof on the app?
Alternatively set up an account and buy a ticket for one of the Arbroath matches.
Season ticket holders were able to buy 16 tickets for the semi, and very few did. There was still plenty of tickets for those who wanted them, and this will still be the case for the final.
Folk need to take a wee breath and chill. The club are doing their best to sort things for everyone, whilst keeping it secure to only Pars fans.
Likewise, the club doesn`t actually owe a thing to folk who haven`t bought a ticket for the last 10 years, but now want to go.
The club is for life, not just for Hampden

What an absolute nonsense this thread has become. Why are people panicking they won’t get a ticket after going to the semi final? It is clearly stated in the article that people with purchase history are eligible second in the queue via restricted general sale, which is on Monday at 10am. (Semi Final tickets were purchased through the club website) read the article fully and take a breath, and then maybe read it again to be sure.

There`s only going to be a general sale if there`s tickets left after the season ticket sale though.

With each season ticket holder able to buy 16 tickets, it`s an unlikely but possible scenario. For me, a provision for semi final purchasers should have been put in place as well as season ticket holders.

Thanks for the condescending reply though!

Up to 16 tickets per season tickets just makes sure that even folk with loads of friends and family coming will be able to get tickets together. There will be very few who do take all 16, and people who were at the semi final or who are regular attendees will get tickets no bother.

The provision is in place though! From Monday 10am. The article states (bottom of the article the wee asterisks qualifier) “ any supporter who has history in purchasing a ticket for Dunfermline Athletic home matches or previous cup ties and has an account on our ticketing platform.” so, if you went to the semi final - where purchases were online only - you will have history of purchasing a ticket and the email used to issue your ticket to the Hampden app will be proof of that.

Surely no one is believing all 3.2k Season Ticket holders (many of which will be kids ST as well) will all be purchasing 15 additional tickets. Maybe the odd exception for people with large families.

It`s more whether season ticket holders buy more extra tickets than the amount of people who aren`t season ticket holders but went to the semi.

No one can say for certain that won`t happen. It`s unlikely, but possible given there were 7k+ non season ticket holders at the semi.

If every second season ticket holder decides to bring a husband/wife and 2 kids who weren`t at the semi, the allocation starts to fill up pretty quickly.

Just doesn’t feel right that purchasers for the semi have the same provision to people who haven`t bought a ticket for years.

Surprised by the angst about ticketing. There will be more than enough to go around.

Also glad the club is enforcing the previous purchase thing. That`s probably as much as they can do to keep out Celtic fans without making purchasing difficult for our own fans.

Probably an emotional response from me tbh, just felt like a kick in the teeth on paper seeing the 16-ticket number when I can`t get a ticket until the following week - and there being a (probably very) slim risk I end up not getting a ticket.

I`d just hoped that the club would put something in place for everyone who attended the Semi - either at the same time, or just after the ST sale, rather than just `everyone with purchase history`.

I get that mate. Honest I do but you’ve no need to panic.
A lot of the point about buying 16 tickets is so one can buy for all his or her family and pals so they are all together instead of scattered everywhere.
The average season ticket holder will buy 3 or 4.
There will be plenty for everyone 👍

I’m a ST holder and only buying 4, and all of them are ST holders themselves.

Honestly nothing to worry about, there will be plenty of tickets.

I’m in favour of allowing ST holders first, as it’s meant to be a perk for getting one in the first place.

When they go on general sale, anyone that went to the semi final, majority hopefully will be fine as their email address will be on record in the Pars purchase history. If not, just jump on the club shop and buy a pen or something.

If you happen to have got your tickets through someone else, can continue to use them if going with same party.

Think the way they’ve done it is justified in that it does help reduce the risk of Celtic buying tickets.

Everyone who wants a ticket will get one. No need to panic.

Fairly sure no one missed out in 2004, 2006 or 2007.

There were 8 of us in our group for the semi final - 1 person bought the tickets and all 8 of us are ST holders.

So there`s 1x8 and 7x16 tickets - a total of 120 available in the general sale from our wee group alone.

I`m sure there will be plenty other groups buying similar for multiple ST in the one group.

Everyone will be fine & it`s great the club are putting in measures to ensure it`s Pars fans who get the Pars end tickets 👍🏼🏁

The allocation is correct in my opinion.

First dibs season ticket holders, then fans who have a history of buying walk up tickets (online) that way keeps away Celtic fans as much as possible and regular fans will not miss out.

I don`t see how even occasional fans will miss out, and even locals who aren`t fans but who are going because it`s a big deal for the town/city will probably be able to go.

Season holders and regulars tend to sit together, so even if going with the rest of the family won`t take up the whole allocation.

I expect us to sell out once we go down the level.

Indeed Lux, it would require a considerable effort to get a decent return on that. Obviously, there would be no need for the parking spots, for there would be no driving afterwards—perhaps a taxi to a city hotel? Or, more likely, an ambulance to the Royal Infirmary!

See this bit, I normally just buy the tickets off dafc.co.uk and put in my email address and they get emailed to me. Don`t recall ever setting up an account or using an app, is that going to be enough? Getting a bit worried I`ll not get a ticket now!

shop@dafc.co.uk. Redstar

Drop an email to the above address then, and explain how you normally buy tickets.

I`m sure it`s ok anyway as you will be on database. But for your peace of mind, might as well ask

I`ve no problem with the allocation. Directionally it makes sense to me. The outcome against Celtic is, sadly, probably predictable but I`d rather a packed out Hampden against them than a half empty game against St. Mirren (with respect to the Buddies).

But with Neil Lennon, you just never know!

If you have bought a ticket online via email through the official website then you have an account. Your email address will be listed, and you meet the criteria

I am worried about getting a ticket too. The `restricted open sale` is a concern.
Up until last night, I had never bought a ticket online, just paid at the gate/ticket kiosk. The thought that I might not get to the final due to a technicality is really worrying.
I bought the ticket for tonight`s game just to get my name on the database, even though I can`t attend.
I might also get a ticket for the playoff game as well, even though I can only get to the away game at best.
It is understandable to a degree, in order to prevent Celtic fans getting our tickets, but it doesn`t help people in my position.
I only manage six or eight games a season as I now live in Fraserburgh and have been here since 2013. Prior to that, I had a season ticket for at least 20 years. Every game is a 300 mile round trip. I attended my first game in 1967 and have been a fan ever since. Almost sixty years.
Through the admin era, I paid at the gate even though I had a season ticket and dumped cash in the buckets every game. Bought a brick in the fan wall. Laid the club wreath at the Contalmaison ceremony in 2024 and I might miss the final because the club has no record of my email address? It doesn`t seem very fair to me.
I have emailed the shop and am hopeful that some arrangement can be made. Fingers crossed.

The semi final tickets weren’t sold first to season ticket holders so the cup final ones won’t be either.

Hope we pack the rafters.


Really glad to see season ticket holder are in fact being offered priority for tickets. Well done to the powers that be!!

what a state some people are getting into. 3000 season ticket holders buying 16 tickets each....Thats hampden sold out at 48,000 even the celtic fans are panicking they wont get in with that news.

familiar faces on social media predicting a shambles etc when sales start, you know the same ones that were predicting carnage at hampden because of the hampden app etc.

Exactly! Everyone that wants to go will be able to. Pretty sure most will also know a season ticket holder who can get them tickets which is what the club will be relying on. The alternative was open sale with many Celtic fans buying them. I`m buying 12 for family and friends who aren`t ST holders.

I get and sympathise with you here mate, but what`s to stop celtic fans doing exactly the same.

If the game is "sold out" tonight, but there's only say 5k actually there, then there's shenanigans afoot 😅

Speaking of the Hampden app. I`ve just had a look at mine. My semi ticket is in the past matches section, date and time right, subtext and venue right (Dunfermline Athletic v Falkirk, Hampden) but the graphic taking up most of the space has Queens Park v Heart of Midlothian, complete with their badges.

I can see why it doesn`t allow screenshots.

Of course I have no issue with season ticket holders getting first dibs and I agree that Celtic fans could follow the same path as I did in buying a ticket for a match I can`t attend.
I don`t have anyone who could buy a ticket on my behalf, so I am reliant on the club maybe accommodating me in some way.
Actually, it`s two tickets I need. Me and my mate. He`s in the same boat as me as regards buying online.
I do have the Hampden app though. I downloaded that yesterday.

17k is a great allocation. I expected they`d be pushing for us to get fewer as a second-tier team that only took 10k to the semi, so fair play.

On a personal note, I moved away from Fife years ago, so I haven`t been at many games the last few years and don`t have a purchase history online. I`ve asked the club if there`s any leeway. But I totally understand the need to put a rule in place to avoid tickets being snapped up by Celtic fans, so if it`s a naw, I`ll only have myself to blame!

Hod the bus!!!
I just spoke to a nice lady at the club and she checked my email address for me and it is registered! I`ll be able to get tickets.
Panic over, what a relief.
She did say that a requirement from Hampden (SFA) is that there will be NO unrestricted ticket sales.

And as seen on this very board, loads of fans that are no longer ‘local’ will make the trip to support our team.


Correct, my flight ✈️ was booked soon after the final whistle of the Failkirk game.

How would this change anything? If the tickets are currently for season ticket holder only no Celtic fans can try and get in unless a Pars season ticket holder sells them on.

Cellic fans are claiming fans who weren`t at the semi shouldn`t be at the final. It appears they aren`t the brightest bunch given this would reduce their allocation. Absolute numpties 😂

It is and I think we’ll near enough fill it.
I know a lot of people going that were not at the semi final.


You can include me.

It will make a difference when the general tickets go on sale.
In fairness, there`s nothing stopping a season ticket holder buying a bunch for him and 15 Celtic supporting mates, or a Celtic fan buying a ticket for tonight to get themselves a club account, but it`s probably the best the club can do to limit it to Pars tickets for Pars fans.
Damage limitation is better than nothing.
Also, I have a feeling the guidelines have come from the SFA, and would be the same whoever was in the final v Celtic. I dont think the club have much to do with the tickets other than agree an allocation and stick up a link.

How many tickets can non season ticket holders buy when restricted ticket sales open ?

Does anyone know if it will be done by typing in your email address attached to your season ticket or if it will be your season ticket number as I have 2 season tickets attached to the same email but hoping by 20
