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

    Motherwell have sold their allocation. 13k iirc
    That's good going. Their home is around 5000.

    Yet I bet a whole bunch of them will be moaning about getting a ticket if we get to the final.... support through thick and thin!!!

    They are playing Sevco and not on TV. Plus novelty of a Hampden game.
    The game, like ours is being broadcast by BT Sport.

    Psychological boost to the Celtic team when they walk out to a full end at Hampden and a half full Hibs end.

    But the biggest excuse offered for our fans not going - no kids tickets in certain sections also applies, maybe Motherwell fans are just less fussy about what colour their seat is & appreciate it a bit more than some of our lot.

    Or the fact Motherwell are hardly ever at Hampden. Regardless of how many Hibs fans go our support this season has been fantastic

    I thought TheRangers were getting 48k tickets for Hampden? How can this be if Motherwell have sold 13k?

    I can't imagine Hibs ever playing too many games at Hampden, to the point where I'm looking for reasons not to go though. The hard-core support will be there on Sat, and I've no doubt we'll create a good atmosphere, but yes, it is disappointing to see others are less enthusiastic, and must leave the club feeling same way after fighting successfully to secure us a good allocation of tickets for this game - only to be proved wrong in their expectations. Especially when if we manage to pull off a famous win these will be many of the same people who think they have a god given right to a final brief!

    I think that's how many they've been given by Hearts at Murrayfield.

    Lucky enough to have use of a pal's debentures for Hampden and our tickets have been upgraded to Gold for Saturday - first time I think I can ever recall that happening. Anyone know the difference between the Gold and Silver offering? I won't have the tickets in my hand until Thursday / Friday so keen to know what Gold actually means!

    These arguments are monotonous and frustrating.

    "I've got a ticket so I'm a better supporter than you" is what people really mean.

    No-one has the right to decide what folk should do with their time and money.

    Loads of people don't travel to games away from Easter Road, but many will make an exception if it's a cup final. What's so difficult to understand about that?

    Frankly, given the prospect of a crappy, uncomfortable bus journey followed by a long walk to a crap stadium without time for a few drinks, to watch, in all likelihood, your team get beaten, I'm surprised so many folk do go.

    Ever think of being a motivational speaker??

    By the time Rangers had their 38k I can't see Motherwell having as much as 13k. That'd only leave 1k for segragation, sponsors etc.

    If true that’s about double what they normally take. I heard they have sold nearly 8000 from a Well fan but no idea if true or not.

    Right enough, might see if I can sell my tickets and go watch pandas eating leaves instead of a semi final against Celtic.

    If you're a Celtic fan you'd be well within your rights to be pissed off at not getting a ticket if there are thousands of unsold seats because Hibs took too many. We'll end up getting our allocation cut in future and giving the Huns or Celtic an advantage with a bigger support from the start.

    I have never went/not went to a game based on what the result would be. Don’t understand that logic as a supporter

    A voice of reason on a message board that is becoming increasingly obsessed with dot counts and telling people what to do with their time whilst feeling embarrassed that our crowd might be below their expectations.

    Doesn't make sense.
    The fact that Saturdays game is against Scotland's top side makes the occasion that bit more exciting, as does the fact that few will tip us to win. A more exciting prospect than had we been drawn to play Motherwell.

    Think about folk leaving early when their team is getting stuffed.

    Think attendances rising when their team is winning regularly.

    Then extrapolate.

    Think our best attended semi was against Livi. Had star players and looked certain to win. Think the prospect of losing to the invinceables, the fact old firm and School holidays keeping attendance down. But still a 12k support not band and we will out sing them.

    No doubt if we win there will be(just like 7-0) many thousands more claiming to have been there than actually went in the years ahead

    If you can afford it and you're no working get your fingers out and get a ticket bought. How disheartening is it going to be for the players walking out and seeing blocks and blocks of empty seats.

    I can't believe just how much some 'supporters' are taking a trip to Hampden for granted. The fact it's suggested that even Motherwell have sold more tickets, and for the lesser-preferred Semi date of Sunday, than us is an embarrassment and I'm no caring what anyone says, cause that's exactly what it is.
