Dundee United have accused Celtic of refusing to accept lower ticket prices for the clubs' upcoming Scottish Cup clash.
The Premiership duo will meet at Tannadice for a quarter-final tussle on Monday, March 14.
Fans will pay £27 for a ticket to the match, less than the £30 price of a Premiership fixture, but United insist they wanted to drop that further.
The Tayside club claim that despite "continued efforts", Celtic would not budge.
A United statement said: “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).
"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."
