As it should be, equivalent of us selling about 8000 tickets

Probably means that we'll get hordes of them in our end now. Hope the police are proactive in horsing them out.

**Ayrshire Hibee** · 17-10-2017 04:51 PM

Will ticket office still be selling on Friday?

We have sold over 10k and honestly don’t get the negativity around this. We will take between 12-14k which is below average for a league cup semi for Hibs or Hearts (they are the only club in Scotland with similar size support as we do hence the comparison) but still more than Aberdeen, Dundee Utd or similar would take. One of the best semi-final supports we had was at the LC against Sevco, when we won on penalties, and there was under 10k of us their that evening.

If we had just took the allocation that Motherwell accepted for the other semi this place would have went into meltdown, it would have been enough though, and there would be no North Stand seats (to not be able to buy at concession rate).

With hindsight SFA would of just allocated us South and West Stands, but you’re right, this place would of gone into meltdown.

Get the feeling the next semi against either of the ugly’s at Hampden will not see us getting a 50/50 split. I was actually quite surprised we were offered half the ground in the first place.

They'd be better with a more flexible approach. Initially allocate us all north and west block B, Celtc all south and east. Hold back block A for us if demand was there, else give it to them.

**Sir David Gray** · 17-10-2017 05:33 PM

I'm genuinely shocked at the lack of interest in this game from our fans.

It's a real shame that it looks like there's not going to be a lot more of us there and I hope those who could have gone but have chosen not to regret their decision by 2pm on Saturday.

No offence but I don't see why it bothers you and others so much.

I'm going so that's all I care about, I could almost just about care if we'd only sold something like 3,000 tickets.

There'll be a respectable amount of people there, why does it matter what the final number is?

None taken.

I just think that having a half full Hibs end for a semi final is poor (assuming that's what happens). We have attracted a record number of season ticket holders and I just assumed that a game like this would have at least come close to selling out.

We have a chance to play against the best team in the country, an opportunity to get to a cup final and to end their unbeaten run.

I'm just surprised more people don't want to go.

**Nicho87** · 17-10-2017 07:38 PM

Can see people's argument for not going. £30 ticket. Travel. Game is on TV. Against a team 59 unbeaten.

However I will be there cheering us on.

piss poor reason

***Hibbyradge*** · 17-10-2017 07:42 PM

I wanted to go, but Mrs Radge has booked us in to see the Pandas at 11.00am so I'd never make the game.

I'm thinking it should be on in the Roseburn bar, so at least I'll get to see it.

GGTTH.

I'd rather say I was there when we stopped the run 👍

League Cup semi midweek against the huns (2004 ?) was similar. Only a few thousand there for a quite unbelievable experience.

Big games have been around the £30 mark for an age. I don't understand the arguement that our football isn't worth £30, I'd happily pay £30 to watch Hibs beat an unbeaten Celtic team. And if we don't I'm sure we will give it a great run out.

Poor excuses all round from those using price, time and TV. Not having a go at yourself btw, just frustrates me.

Aye but 20-25k would want a ticket for the final if we got there....

I don't know why, look at our attendances home and away in the group stages.

Of course we will take more to the final if we get there. What on earth is people's problem with that?

Correct at every level in football, even youth, finals are better supported than the semis.

I would expect a semi final at Hampden against Celtic to be viewed entirely differently by supporters than matches against Montrose, Arbroath, Alloa and Ross County (away on a Friday night).

**jax67** · 18-10-2017 05:38 AM

Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone that bought a ticket for the semi, were guaranteed a ticket for the final.
Assuming that we are in the final.

Probably my favourite ever hibs match, or one of. Aboit 7-8,000 there that night i think.

I think a loyalty points scheme would be the fairest way. Oh wait!

Brilliant night, first game at Hampden for one of my son's.
Celebrations at the end were superb we still talk about it now.
That's why if you can go on Saturday don't miss it, if we win it will be epic.
GGTTH.

If they give us more tickets.

Exactly. But this is not the final so 12-14000 is about right and similar to what the Yams would take and more than every other Scottish club (out with the ugly sisters).

So there is nothing to complain or moan about all is normal.

Motherwell have sold their allocation. 13k iirc
