HAMPDEN'S CALLING!

The Scottish FA have informed us that the Scottish Cup quarter-final tie at home to Celtic will be played on Monday 14th March at 7.45pm.

Come Along and Support the Team As We Chase a Hampden Date!

To encourage as many United fans as possible to attend a first home Scottish Cup tie in over two years, we contacted Celtic shortly after the draw was made and advised that we would be keeping the Carling West Stand for home support.

Despite any potential financial shortfall, we felt this was the correct decision from a footballing perspective for this one-off cup tie. and would give us the best possible opportunity to reach the semi-final.

Pricing 

Very early on in discussions between the Clubs thereafter on ticket prices, Celtic advised us of the view that they were looking for a price point similar to an SPFL league match between the clubs (£30 adults).

Celtic confirmed that they would be willing to agree an adult price of no lower than £27 and accept the concession prices of £15 and £10 and reiterated that they would sell their allocation out at this price. Despite our continued efforts to convince them to drop this price further, we were reminded that failure to agree would result in the price being set at normal prices (i.e. £30 for adults).

Prices for the tie have therefore been set at the following: 

Adults - £27

Concessions - £15

Under 12s - £10.

We are aware of the social media energy around pricing for the cup tie and while we wish we could have agreed a further reduced price with Celtic, these prices remain below SPFL league matches and are comparable to the prices for our trip to Pittodrie this weekend.

We fully appreciate the support that our fans have shown us during this season (and always) and we hope our decision to have United fans in three stands for this tie is vindicated by an enhanced home support. This remains a fantastic opportunity for the Club to reach Hampden and a Scottish cup semi-final and together we can dream of further glory.

Sale Dates
