Approx 19k sold which assume is just short of it.

Surprised there will be no ticket sales at Hampden on Saturday. Makes no sense whatsoever when ground will have 20k spare seats. We really know how to market the game in this country.

http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/7490

Would indicate our dot counting is pretty bang on

Sales have been slow today so with tomorrow being last day of sales, as said above, would be surprised to see us sell more than a hundred or more extra. 19k is a fantastic effort tho

There isn't anywhere for Hibs fans to go really though. They would have to open up the South upper and have Stewards and police etc ready, even with the chance that no one was actually seated there. The only other gaps will be right in the middle of the Aberdeen crowd which is impossible to house Hibs fans.

Like it or not, they will not want fans just turning up and getting tickets without knowing who these people are, in case of any trouble.

There will still be gaps in the Hibs end if we had an allocation of 21k and we have sold 19k so no need for any Hibs fans going in the other end.

Agree Surprised there isn't one pod open on the day as a couple of posters on here said they wouldn't know till late on Friday if they could go so they could now miss out
But maybe the cost of hiring staff to sell maybe only after hand full of tickets isn't seen as viable
But has always happened before

Agree and also people nearby who at the last minute may want to pop along to the game. As you say has always happened before.

**SirDavidsNapper** · 20-04-2017 04:12 PM

19k is superb. Well done everyone. Let's make some noise and roar the boys on to victory.

**Nakedmanoncrack** · 20-04-2017 04:16 PM

Utter nonsense not having tickets available on the day at a stadium with around 20k unsold seato.

Absolute rubbish.

The South Upper will be open as it will contain Debenture ticket holders who have taken up their tickets.

In any event there arestill 500 plus tickets left in the East Stand.

I had two debenture tickets for South Upper but these have been upgraded from Bronze to Silver but that means moving to South Lower
My Daughter had two others upgraded to Gold but is also in South Lower so maybe a lot of sponsors and other tickets weren't taken up allowing them to move those who were due to be in the Upper deck to the lower one
Not sure just putting it out there Would be interested if others who got hold of Debenture Tickets also had theirs upgraded and moved to South Lower

Final Update on seats remaining against total tickets on planner:

North Stand

D1..........(639).............0
D2..........(864).............0
D3..........(858).............0
D4..........(832).............0
D5..........(876).............0

Total.....(4,069)............0

East Stand

F1...........(845)............1
F2...........(925)............0
F3...........(926)............0

Total.....(3,258)............7

Total...(19,489).........424

Unavailable (G8).........87

Total left...................512

That suggests that 18,977 have sold out of 19,489.

That does certainly ties up with the Hibs Official statement of around 19,000 sold.

So we will pass the 19,000 mark tomorrow Excellent

Great effort from fans but common sense needed sfa. Harsh on dons to travel at that time and offer pods at game on the day for walk ups if still large sections empty.

Would be a total waste of money and resource from the SFA to fire stewards, police and catering up there for the sake of 2/300 people max, when the lower hospitality sections will be half empty.

8:30 419 tickets available

**jgl07** · 21-04-2017 08:33 AM

It seems to have hit just over 19,000 now (19,008).

There are 394 on the planner all bar one in Block G7. The other is in I1.

I tried to find the number of seats in the remaining blocks not made available. The only ones shown were the 87 in Block G8 which I assume were never released but could have been sold. Block E (North Stand Upper) appears to hold 120, so around 60 in the Hibs end.

Block J1 runs from B1 to B26 going up to row NN. That gives a maximum of 936 seats. J2 goes from B27 to B41 up to row JJ giving a maximum of 480 seats.

So those unaccounted for are as follows:

G7..............393 (unsold)
G8................87 (not released)
I1...................1 (unsold)
J1...............936
J2...............480
E..................60 (hospitality)

Total........1,957

Put in the 19,008 tickets sold and that comes to 20,965 which is close to the stated Hibs allocation of 21,000.

I assume that Block E will be hospitality while J1 and J2 will be a fixture of 'blazers', hospitality, and Debenture tickets (some transferred from the South Upper). I do not expect the seats to be empty.

So there are a maximum of 480 seats to shift today to sell out the allocation.

Good effort !

Should sell out today I would imagine.

**frazeHFC** · 21-04-2017 09:06 AM

Great effort. Always think when a half empty Hampden Scottish Cup semi final is shown across the UK it doesn't exactly look great for Scottish football. Looking forward to a packed Hibs end this time!

A shame about the inevitable gaps in the Aberdeen section.

29 tickets left in those sections excluding G7.

**~~hibs0666~~** · 21-04-2017 11:08 AM

To put tomorrow's attendance in context it will be the second-highest semi-final attendance between the clubs, surpassed only by the 1946/47 semi final (80,000).

Armageddon!!!
