Aberdeen have sold less than half of their League Cup semi-final tickets despite complaining about their initial allocation for the tie against Rangers.
The Pittodrie club eventually received 20,300 briefs for the game at Hampden on Sunday, 28 October after denouncing their original share of 16,800.
However, Aberdeen have sold just over 9,000 to date, and admit sales "have fallen short of the demand expected".
The SPFL has taken back some sections of the club's allocation.
However, 5,500 tickets are still available, and the club confirmed they will have "access to a further allocation if we demonstrate additional demand in the next few days".
A statement added: "The focus now quickly turns to fulfilling the remainder of our allocation to ensure that the team walk out to a wall of noise from Dons supporters in attendance."
Manager Derek McInnes suggested that the school holidays may have an effect but reiterated that he wants "as many supporters there as possible because it helps the team".
