Are you one hoping to be one of the lucky people to get a 'golden ticket'? Here's what you need to know..
Aberdeen have been granted permission to admit 5,665 to their UEFA Conference League qualifier with Swedish side BK Hacken next Thursday (22nd of July).
Are you hoping to be one of the chosen few to get your hands on one of the 'golden tickets'? Well here's how.
Who can buy a ticket?
For the first phase, only season ticket holders are eligible to secure a seat. The club have said tickets will go on general sale from Tuesday (20th of July) if there are any left, but with over 7,700 season ticket holders, that's unlikely.
When can I buy a ticket?
Tickets go on sale at 5pm tonight (Friday 16th of July) via the club website and the club's ticket office at Pittodrie will be open on Saturday the 17th of July from 10am-4pm, supporters can also call 01224 63 1903 during these hours.
What if I experience any issues?
The ticket office team will regularly be checking emails across the weekend to resolve any issues supporters may experience but should you have any queries you can email: ticketoffice@afc.co.uk
Where are seats available?
Seats will be available in the Richard Donald Stand, Merkland Stand and South Stand for this match. The seating areas in these stands have been divided up to allow for 1m social distancing in ‘pods’ of two, three or four seats, plus a number of single seats and supporters should remain in their allocated socially distanced seat.
Main stand tickets are not for sale, as it is considered a 'red zone' by UEFA as it's used to host delegates as well as some substitutes for both teams.
How much?
Adult season ticket holders will be charged £25, it's £20 for over 65's, £18 if you are 18-21, £12 for under 18's and £6 for Under 12's. All of these prices apply to season ticket holders, with slightly larger fees for non-season ticket members, should seats go to general sale.
I've got a ticket, what now?
You'll need to test negative for Covid, via a lateral flow test on the day of the game. Don't forget to bring your face mask along with you.
There are several methods for getting free Lateral flow tests. To order the tests visit: here or over the phone by calling 119 between 7am – 11 pm and these will be delivered to you within 24 -48 hours via Royal Mail.

I've bought a ticket, now I can't go, what now?
