 Dundee United have been given an extra 3,200 tickets after selling their inital allocation for the CIS Cup final against Rangers at Hampden. The Tannadice outfit sold 14,000 tickets in four days for the final on Sunday 16 March.
United manager Craig Levein said: "I've been hugely encouraged to see all of our initial allocation of tickets sell out so quickly."
The tickets will go on sale on 5 March at 0900 GMT.
Levein said he was delighted that the Scottish Football League had made extra tickets available.
"The semi-final proved to me, and the players, just what getting to cup finals means to Dundee United fans and what an important part they have to play in that," he said.
"They were outstanding that night and there is no doubt in my mind that their large and vocal support encouraged the players on to victory."
"The club has responded to the fans' continuing demand for tickets by requesting the full allocation and it's now up to the fans to make every effort to make sure they're at Hampden to support the team.
"Having an extra 3,000 Dundee United fans at the final could make a big, big difference."
United booked their place in the final with a 4-1 win over Aberdeen, while Rangers defeated Hearts 2-0. |
