The only explanation you can give for this is that Aberdeen are being punished for complaining last time.

Hearts can at least to claim to have a semblance of a chance of selling their allocation, though I'd imagine they'll fall a fair bit short.
Then it comes down to fairness, which is a different kettle of fish admittedly.

Disgusting approach. Each club should be given a window to sell 50% of tickets. The remainder are returned and given to opponents if necessary.
Celtic vs livi was 3/4 full in the last round. Same for the other cheek vs Ayr in an earlier round. They've a cheek calling us all out, considering the size of their supports

Boils my piss. Every club, regardless of size should be offered 50% of a neutral venue, and then adjustments made from there if tickets can’t be sold.

Neutral venue they say.
“Well you’re not getting a 50/50 split because the Bhoys.. ahem, Celtic will sell more tickets than you. Also you’ll be sitting in the west stand because the east stand is the Celtic end.
Hail hail, I mean, kind regards.

Hearts will sell their allocation Aberdeen won't. Don't really see the issue.
Suppose they could have given Aberdeen an initial 25k and given them a deadline to sell them before giving them to Celtic. I doubt they'll have much more than 12k there.Last edited by Since452; 14-03-2024 at 02:16 PM.

I doubt hearts or Aberdeen would sell their allocation out but regardless any team that wants 50% for a semi or final should get it even if it means empty seats. It's a neutral ground.

Hearts fans turned up and sold our semi in 2022. That's evidence that they can do it. Aberdeen and sadly Hibs don't have this evidence and will keep getting knocked back vs old firm.
Its embarrassing that its not the norm, but we gave the SFA the chance to do it and they did it.

That game at 2pm would have given them a much better chance to sell more tickets.
Agree 100% though that clubs should be given the chance to sell half before it is taken away. It's totally unfair."...when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

That said, morally it's wrong. Neutral venue means starting at 50/50.
Anything else and the natural end result is finals and semi finals which resemble a home game for the old firm

Aberdeen this season, nowhere near it.
Hearts 2022, nope - Hearts sold it no problem.
Aberdeen 2017, nope
Dundee United 2016, nope
Celtic 2017 league cup, nope
Our crowds for semis are poor generally. This is the consequence. Those than bother and genuinely want a ticket will get one in a 19k allocation.
I don't agree with this at all, but we've had plenty chances to sell it and failed.

Aberdeen got the same offer as Hearts. They were offered the 50-50 split but they had to agree to paying for any unsold tickets.
Hearts agreed Aberdeen did not
