They stated: "Visiting supporters will receive 749 tickets, located in sections E, F, and part of section D in the North Stand. Tickets will be sold through the away club." Hearts announced last season that all away fans will receive just 650 tickets, except Hibs - who receive 3,600 for the Edinburgh derby. Aberdeen also slashed the allocation for Hibs to just 792 for their Pittodrie clash after the split last term and Hibs reduced visiting fans to 1,500 for their final two games of the season against [[Dundee]] United and Rangers. And of course, Celtic and [[Rangers]] took until last season to finally allow away fans into their stadiums for the Old Firm derbies for the first time in two years, with both clubs allocating around four per cent of their stadium to visiting supporters.
