Aberdeen City Council have granted permission to Aberdeen Football club to operate with capacity crowds at Pittodrie again, here's what you need to know.

When's the first game?

The Dons UEFA Conference League third round qualifier second leg tie with Breidablik next week (Thursday August 12) will utilise almost all of the stadium. There are still some sections of the Main Stand off limits, due to UEFA protocol.

The next home league game is on the 28th of August against Ross County. This game will not have restrictions on tickets available in the Main Stand.

Can I get a pie?

YES! Unlike at the games with limited supporters, food and drink kiosks operated by BaxterStorey will be in operation.

Will I need to take a lateral flow test?

Taking a test before the game is no longer a requirement, but the club does recommend it. And of course if you have any symptoms of Covid-19, you should't attend.

What extra precautions are in place?

You will need to show photo ID upon entry to the stadium that matches the name on your ticket. And face masks are still required in all 'indoor areas' of the stadium. Cashless and contactless payment is preferred at Kiosks and in the club shop.

There will also be staggered arrival times to the match.

A section of the stadium is also being reserved for vulnerable supporters, where social distancing will be in place.

When are tickets on sale?

Tickets for the Briedablik game go on sale to season ticket members at 5pm tonight (Friday August 6) via the website and from 10am tomorrow at the ticket office or over the phone.

General sale will commence from 1pm on Monday (August 9).
