STORY OF THE MATCH | RANGERS (A)
25th November 2024
Following advice from the Scottish FA and discussions with Rangers, ticket prices for the 5th Round Scottish Cup tie on 2 February have been set at £15 Adults and £5 Concessions. A section of the stadium will be reserved for those Rangers fans who wish to attend.
As a point of principle, in the exceptional circumstances whereby we had been instructed not to sell any tickets for this match to away fans, Dundee United had requested the Scottish FA to allow the Club to waive certain conditions of the Rules of the Scottish Cup, under the powers available to them. Although the matter has been considered in some depth by the Scottish FA and their legal advisors, we have now been informed that they are unable to intervene in this matter. In the best interests of the competition, Dundee United will adhere fully to this advice.
Subsequently, reduced admission prices have been agreed in a constructive dialogue with Rangers.
Dundee United Director Derek Robertson said, "While we remain disappointed with the position of Rangers in respect of not taking any tickets for this match, we will not make any statements which may inflame the situation, particularly to avoid encouraging any hostility between our two sets of supporters. Now that ticket prices have been agreed, we hope that everyone can now focus on what matters most; a game of football. For the good of Scottish football and, indeed, the Scottish Cup, we would urge all parties to move on and look forward to the prospect of a terrific Scottish Cup tie in February.
"Although Rangers do not wish to take a ticket allocation for this match, opposition fans are always welcome at Tannadice and we will be happy to reserve an appropriate section of the stadium for any Rangers fans who wish to attend this fixture."
Ticket sale arrangements:
Tickets will go on priority sale to season ticket holders on Tuesday 8 January from the ticket office in Tannadice Street. This priority period will continue until Thursday 10 January with the general sale of tickets commencing on Friday 11 January.
There will be no restriction in the amount of tickets that can be purchased.
Admission prices for all tiers are as follows:
£15 - Adults
£5 - Concessions - 60s and over/ U-18/ Students with valid photo matriculation card
