It's been confirmed that Aberdeen will be allowed close to 6,000 fans at Pittodrie for their Europa Conference League clash with Hacken.
With Scotland moving into Level 0 Covid restrictions from Monday, clubs will be allowed at least 2,000 fans for matches.
They can apply to local authorities for bigger crowds, and for the European tie Aberdeen had requested around 8,000.
However, a compromise number was found with chairman Dave Cormack stating earlier this week he was confident that close to 6,000 would be allowed in.
And on Friday that decision was confirmed by Aberdeen City Council, with 5,665 to be granted entry.
Supporters will be asked to complete a lateral flow covid test on the day of the match, with it required to be shown upon entry, and no food kiosks will be open.
Having initially applied for a three game licence this will only apply to the European game, but it could be extended if the event is successful.
With close to 8,000 season ticket holders, the briefs will be sold on a first come first served basis.
Cormack said: "This is a major step in the right direction and we’re grateful to the local authority for working closely with us to get to this stage.
“Ideally, we wanted to be able to accommodate all our season ticket members. However, 5,665 represents 73 per cent of the 7,800 season tickets sold to date. Based on our previous percentages of season ticket members take-up (55 per cent to 60 per cent) and the fact that some have indicated that they are not ready to attend games just yet, we believe we’ll be able to accommodate all who want to attend.
“Every supporter will require proof of a negative lateral flow test, which we believe is a price worth paying to demonstrate, more than any other similar event in Scotland has done so far, that we as a Club do care about safety and about implementing the highest standards possible.
“The tight timescales and logistics involved mean we are unable to organise a ballot so tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, initially to season ticket members."
It comes as Celtic await a decision from their own local authority over whether or not they can have around 20,000 fans at the Midtjylland game.
