  • 10th July deadline for 6‐month interest free and save your seat

As we emerge from lockdown and restrictions are easing, the situation with regards to football is changing on an almost daily basis.

With positive progress on the fight against COVID‐19, there may now only be a few home games behind closed doors, and we could get back to playing in front of partial crowds earlier than anticipated.

AFC will, of course, be guided by Government advice and the guidelines from the footballing authorities.

With the opening league game only three weeks away, we are now making preparations for matches at Pittodrie both behind closed doors and with a reduced capacity, initially allowing access for 7,500 season ticket holders, assuming one metre social distancing.

The first 7,500 season ticket sales for the 20/21 season will be given priority for limited access games.

With 7,300 season tickets already sold, there are only 200 remaining to make sure you can attend games with partial crowds.

Should capacity end up being below 7,500 then priority points will be used as the fairest way to determine who gets access.

For every season ticket sold after we’ve reached 7,500, the holder will be given priority as access is increased. This means that if, for example, you have season ticket sales number 7,501 you will have priority over someone who has the number 7,502 and so on.

Essentially, above the first 7,500 season tickets sold, there will be a “first come, first served” system which we believe is the only fair and transparent way of dealing with what is an unprecedented set of circumstances.

The deadline for the 6‐month interest free option, including Dons cashback for the difference between early bird and standard pricing, and the save your seat offer is 10th of July. Due to reduced capacity, however, the save your seat will only apply to games with full crowds.

With the season kicking off in four weeks, the Club is working tirelessly to make all the necessary arrangements for both games behind closed doors and those with partial crowds.

We’ve never had a situation like this before and it’s clear this is going to be a logistical challenge for our ticket office. For example, having family members sitting together will help maximise access. At this time we ask for your understanding and your patience as we try to do our best to accommodate as many season ticket holders as possible.

It’s important to reinforce that virtual access to home games behind closed doors is included in your season ticket and that we are committed to offering full value for the 20/21 season.

If, for any reason, you want to cancel your season ticket before the season starts, we will offer a 100% rebate, no questions asked!

2020/21 season tickets are available online 24/7 via afc.co.uk/eTickets or by calling 01224 63 1903 Monday-Friday 10am-5pm, by becoming an AberDNA member you can get up to 50% off your season ticket! More information.
