Following the SPFL statement on the allocation of the Cup Final tickets, AFC Chief Executive Duncan Fraser said. “The issue of ticket allocation for a Cup Final is always an emotive one and one that takes time to work through. As a Club we believe that for a national final the starting point should be 50/50 on the basis that both teams can sell their allocation. This is what makes a neutral venue feel that way even allowing for the travelling distance of many of our support. For that reason we are happy with the allocation outcome.

The Club felt strongly enough in this particular occasion that we guaranteed the face value of every ticket we will receive. We already know our demand will, like Celtic's, outstrip supply.

“In terms of how these tickets are distributed, we have a loyalty points system that will ensure that those that support the Club, and will continue to outwith a Cup Final,  will be the ones who are at Hampden Park on 27 November.”

The Club will issue a statement at the end of the week on how the loyalty process will operate for the cup final.
