SF ticket sales

[Emerald]

Advertise what? That we play Aberdeen next week in the cup semi final? I'm not really sure that need advertised tbh. Most Hibby's I know are aware of the match. :agree:

I'm sure once the Motherwell match is done and dusted the site will be full of stuff building up to the semi final.

Sure, the club shop isn't updated as regular as it maybe should be but you could always give them a call?

I think you've totally missed the point, its never good not to advertise. There is thousands of Hibs fans going to watch it on TV, why not try to give them a reason to go. Its all about selling the idea to folk, no??:dunno:

Nope, I don't think I have missed the point. I've read through your post and there's nothing too complicated for me to understand.

You said that PF should come out after the game tomorrow and "drum up support for the semi". The game hasn't been played yet. :confused: I'm sure PF will or are you psychic?

You then said he should be saying "that the Hibs.net folk have organised a 'green day' occasion and that is a fantastic tribute to our fans. Even if you havn'nt been for years, get along to Hampden for a great day out. Wear something green and bring your flags with you. We've been jobbies for a couple of years now but its the SC semi final. Come along and support your team"

Maybe he will after tomorrows game? :confused:

You then bumped your gums about your wife wanting a "stupid hat" and complained that they're "not even trying to shift stuff for the semi" and called them "fricken amateurs". I happily pointed out that they are selling 'stupid hats' in the club shop? :confused:

On the subject of PR. You're kind of right. I've just read through the informative PR piece written and displayed on the website this week from RP and he makes no mention of 'stupid hats'. I've also read the latest piece of PR from our manager and yet again, he mentions nothing about 'stupid hats'.

You'd be well within your rights to send the club an email and complain :rolleyes:

I'm no expert but maybe punting a few 'stupid hats' isn't the clubs main priority before an important league match?

[The Harp]

Less than 10,000 sold and the Sheep have sold 13,500

Oh dear! Not just inside info, but TWO lots of it!!! One foot in either camp - aye, very good!:rolleyes:

[SquashedFrogg]

Beating Motherwell on Sunday would be a start.

Exactly :agree:

We all know that next weeks match is a "biggie" but lets concentrate on tomorrow's "biggie" first.

I'm sure the club will fill our boots next week with cup-semi PR and hype. In the meantime I'm glad the club have concentrated on focusing on the Motherwell match first.

One game at a time and all that.

[SquashedFrogg]

Oh dear! Not just inside info, but TWO lots of it!!! One foot in either camp - aye, very good!:rolleyes:

That's nothing... I have inside info from Hibs, Sheep and Hampden who have all confirmed that Hibs will be wearing green strips and wait for it....The sheep will be wearing Red strips...

I can't reveal my sources but they have driven past all 3 stadiums in the last 10 years... :agree:

I'm just pointing out that there is an advertising opportunity here that the club never seems to adopt. I'm sure every cpmpany in the world faced with a sales oportunity would have something on line to order. I can get my hats and scarfs from the weegie mob on the way to Hampden or get the old stuff out the loft. I'm trying and hoping that every Hibby that can go, will go. Not looking for my post to be taken to bits.

TBH I wasn't intending taking your post to bits. Just when you suggested that I had totally missed your point I felt the need to.

Merely to satisfy myself that I hadn't missed your point.

I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping that your wife gets her 'stupid hat' for the big day :flag:

Anyway, Barca game is on...

There was advertising on the official site a week or so ago, A) offering bundles for semi, assuming it included hats, foam finger/hands etc.....B) a page regarding the green day that is being planned from sect43 and 12th men guys.....

[Onceinawhile]

There was also a large chunk about it in the weekly email that gets sent out.

[Hibby70]

Are Hibs operating a Hat database?

Are Hibs operating a Hat database?

All right, you can all just ...., I was only trying to make a point. But.. but maybe we might get a hat trick....mibbies aye....mibbeis no.:dunno: Just get yer mates to go to the SF and we can argue about how peeee the crowd is after that. I hope I'm wrong about the attendace. Really really really, mon the Hibs :flag:

[Since90+2]

According to the guy in the ticket office we have sold just over 3/4 of our 15000 allocation so around 11500 shifted already. That was at noon yesterday.

[down-the-slope]

I really hope we get to the final (stating the bleeding obvious I know :wink:) but as much for the bleating from those that can't get their hands on a ticket due to not being a ST holder / Next season ST holder / Member / SF stub holder.....:greengrin


Let the whinging begin.....OH and in case you didn't realise...No sympathy will be shown :na na:

[blackpoolhibs]

My mate has been ill for a while, and not been for over a year, and after todays game has decided he wants to go next week. I have just booked him on the train with us, and was wondering if he'd be able to buy a ticket at the game from a booth, or will he have to get one from easter road?:confused:

Don't think so..but check with SFA (although it would be a neutral are if so. Clubs get their allocations direct. Can someone not buy at Hibs TO and meet you with it on Sat :confused:

That will be the plan if we cant get one at Hampden.

[Big_D]

Bought a ticket for a mate before the game , asked for D1 but got D4 so obviously no seats left in D1,2,3

[Onceinawhile]

Hopefully todays result and performance will inspire a few more to go along. It's a shame from that perspective that we didn't win as it could have added a few hundred on to the sales.

[essexhibee]

I see that it says on the web about Cup Bundles? Whats included with that?

"When you're picking up your Cup semi-final tickets, take a look at what's on offer in the Clubstore and treat yourself to one of our Cup bundles (available in-store only). Look the part and play your part - the Hibees are back at Hampden."

They used to sell tickets to the South Stand for Scotland matches through the Museum at Hampden, you then collected them from a booth in the Lesser Hampden area outside the ground.
Never did it myself but know a few who did it a few years ago. Obviously could be different for cup ties

ps I believe these are unused debenture seats

Its things like a top and a jester hat for £30
or a flag and a clapper for £15

things like that

If we win and you keep your stub are you guaranteed a ticket for the Final?

I thought that but I was picking up from here that semi-final stubs would be valid.

If they were we'd likely sell more tickets for the semi.

[down-the-slope]

Hibs never do themseves any favours with their PR. I think regardless (and especially if) we win tomorrow, PF should come on after the game and drum up support for next week. He should be saying that the Hibs.net folk have organised a 'green day' occasion and that is a fantastic tribute to our fans. Even if you hav'nt been for years, get along to Hampden for a great day out. Wear something green and bring your flags with you. We've been jobbies for a couple of years now but its the SC semi final. Come along and support your team. But Hibs will say sweet FA as usual, pants PR. We had a look at the online store today, my wife wants a stupid hat but hey, they're not even trying to shift stuff for the semi. Fricken amateurs. :confused:

:panic: I can confirm that at HT today...Jester Hats...Foam hands....Clappers...Reduced price tops...Tooters etc tec were all advertised as available from Club Shop :aok:

Panic Over :rolleyes:

Yes but if they don't, it will help sell more season tickets for next season.

[Hibernia Na Eir]

sadly, I have to admit, I'm not gonna pannick or show desperation in getting a final ticket if we beat the highlanders next weekend. those days are gone. I'm goin next weekend, but, equally I'll be happy enough to watch it in local pub if push comes to shove.
Hibs, sadly, aren't the draw they were of yesteryear, although I love them just as much.
Hibees till we DIE!!!

Why have we only got a 15,000 allocation? I can honestly see us taking about 18k.

We have an initial allocation of 15,000. More will be available if they are sold.

I wouldn't trust anyone who openly states that they recall some thrilling semis around other grounds.

[essexhibee]

If there was 7000 there today for a horrible K.O. timed game that was on TV then I highly doubt we will only take a 1000 more for a semi-final game at the national stadium. :rolleyes:

dont believe what is being said about the dons selling 15k tickets , a quick visit to the dons site shows they are still selling north stand tickets same as us and selling west stand sections same as us also so sounds about the same amount for both teams :flag:

[KeithTheHibby]

Heard yesterday we had sold approx 7000 and the sheep 13000.

If so I would expect our sales to pick up during the week.

Who did you hear yesterday from? They are talking balls!!

North Stand - nearing capacity - 4,000 out of 4,500 - expect a sell out
East Stand - selling 6th section - 5 blocks sold @1,000 a block - around 5,000 sold
South Stand - about 700-1000 sold

10,000-11,000 for us.
Sheep have allocation of 12,500 as they are not selling any South Stand. You can still buy in West and North so they're not sold out

On the day our numbers will be about equal with the West end looking busier than our East due to some of our crowd occupying the South


We will still outsing them

[BroxburnHibee]

Personally I never understand the fascination with how many tickets we have sold.

And anyone that believes that the club would tell us exactly what has been sold have short memories.

[joe breezy]

With such a poor crowd expected we should have got together to make sure the game gets played at Ibrox thus ensuring a better atmosphere and helping our blue nose friends out in their time of need :aok:

















aye right :greengrin

[RIP]

We are all the way round to section F7 now! The final section in the North - D5 (The noisy bit :greengrin still has a few tickets left so if you are swithering, fire in now and get one of the best seats in the house for atmosphere)

http://www.hampdenpark.co.uk/visitor-information/stadium-plan.html

Just checked with the Hibs and Aberdeen ticket websites. That's us sold out D1-4 and F1 to F6 now. The only tickets available in F5 and F6 are very top row and singles and doubles. The Bounce lads are holding back for section G so it's closer to the buses and close to the area where the big surfers, flags and banners get laid out

Ten sections sold out so far, 3 partially sold including the South - 900 to 1100 seats per block

Sheep have only sold out five sections so far - tickets available online for 9 other sections

I predict 25,000 - more than double the normal for Dons v Hibs and the biggest non OF-related crowd of the season

I'd like to see as many as possible from both sides and it'll be interesting to see if your 'facts' suggesting Aberdeen will heavily outnumber us come to fruition. It's possible I guess but we've heavily outnumbered United, Dunfermline and Aberdeen in some recent semi's so it would be a surprise to me.

Nice try AngusTheBull - away and **** a coo. It's not your website - it's ticketmaster's and try reading your own fan forums first

We've sold out ten of our 14 sections. All you've done is buy up more blocks without selling out the ones you have. You had 11 sections and asked the SFA for 3 more sections on Friday. I could buy a ticket in nine of your 14 sections today.

You are the third sheep in as many days to tell us we've only sold 7,000/8,000/9000. Hibs don't give out facts but then a Hibby would know that.

Reckon both clubs will be lucky to clear 15K, more likely 12-13,000 each

[SouthamptonHibs]

One of our best semi final days our was the 7k that went to hampden to see us beat the huns back in 2004. If we don't sell 20k thats a poor show from us. Hampden only an hour away hardly a tough place to get to. Expect we only take big crowds if we expect to win ie utd in 2005 and pars in 2007. I wonder if the glory hunters will buy tickets now we r unbeaten in two. hail hail tickets are cheap for this game plus good deals for families

Just leave them Gogs, they are obviously so blinded by their belief that they are "The best away supporters in Scotland" that they can't accept the fact they may potentially sell less tickets than us.

One of our best semi final days our was the 7k that went to hampden to see us beat the huns back in 2004.

Would be good for Scottish football to see a nice turnout, I'd be surprised if Aberdeen take more than us.

hibs won't sell out neither will aberdeen and to be honest hibs should sell out yeah we have had a shocking season but the more fans the better the team will play, everyone needs to get there arse's to hampden on saturday regardles of the times or the tv watching it on the tv isn't helping your team!! I hope for a big support but think its going to be around 14/15 thousand! but the games going to be a cracker!

Aberdeen confident they are omn track to sell 17k. We need as many Hibs fans to get along. Only £15 to sit in the east

[Spike Mandela]

We are on the back of a season with very poor SPL crowds. We have just played a game against a team leading the race for a CL spot whilst we are in a relegation battle and drew.a crowd of 7100.

Why anyone expects a big turnout in a semi final kicking off at 12.15 with two of the poorest Hibs and Aberdeen teams ever is beyond me.

You could have got your point over better without the need for them. :agree:

[Keith_M]

I'm not sure what people are expecting here but some comments seem to indicate that anything less than both sides selling out their ends is nothing short of disastrous. I really don't understand that view at all. :confused:


This is a sem-final, not a final. I think if there's a crowd of 25,000 or so, it would be fantastic. Especially considering the current form of both sides, the timing of the game and the fact it's live on telly anyway.


IMHO, I think we've done well to have sold as much as we already have (well into five figures, at least) and we'll shift a lot more by Saturday.


As for one-upmanship between the fans re: size of supports, how petty is that. I'd much rather both teams took fantastic numbers and made it a great occasion, to show there's life outside of the OF.

[bandylegs_jLeighton]

I don't understand why ticket sales (when there are no problems with availability or price) has become such a hot topic in recent years. I don't go to games to stare at the stands. It's the backing given by those that do attend that makes the difference on the pitch generally.

There are 10 times as many posts on this thread as there are on other pre-match threads.

Surely discussing pre-match predictions, line ups, song suggestions, drinking spots, and even suitable attire (as lead by Bob) does more to wet the appetite for the match.

[MB62]

We are on the back of a season with very poor SPL crowds. We have just played a game against a team leading the race for a CL spot whilst we are in a relegation battle and drew.a crowd of 7100.


Easter Sunday where a lot of people might have been away, as we all were for the weekend, and the game was live on T.V.



Why anyone expects a big turnout in a semi final kicking off at 12.15 with two of the poorest Hibs and Aberdeen teams ever is beyond me.

Semi-final of the Scottish Cup has a far bigger appeal to folk than a run of the mill league game (although none of our league games can be described as such at the moment). This is also a family day out and there will be plenty Hibs Kids there for a first taste of Dumpden.

Definitely give them a call, I ordered mine a week past Monday for recorded delivery. They still hadn't arrived yesterday so I gave them a call and they'd accidentally been put in the collection pile, the guy was very apologetic and said he'd get them sent out today.

[21.05.2016]

Has the ticket office been open all week for sales? How much more do we roughly expect to sell between now and saturday?

Got my ticket so it doesn't matter to me, but I would love to see a big hibs support going through to Hampden for our biggest game of the season so far!

Get yourself a ticket if you can, it will be a fantastic day out. Not very often we get a trip to hampden so lets make it a memorable one!

The Sect 43 guys etc. have all done a absolutly fantastic job in organising the pre-match display and flags, massive well done to everyone involved! But we need as many hibees there as possible to make it look its best!

[Pretty Boy]

Just leave them Gogs, they are obviously so blinded by their belief that they are "The best away supporters in Scotland" that they can't accept the fact they may potentially sell less tickets than us.

Aberdeen fans have a bigger obsession with attendances than Hearts fans and that's saying something.

I once listened to an Aberdee fan tell me it was FACT they still take well over 5000 to Ibrox, Easter Road and Tynecastle. When i pointed out the away capacity of each of these grounds was nowhere near this number he assured me they get extra space in another stand. When i said they haven't even had the whole of the south stand at ER for years he called me a liar. I'm sure he still thinks he's right.

Deluded. Hope we ****ing pump them.

The reason why they are saying that we have only sold 7/8000 is because it is not being updated online. According to Some Aberdeen fans when they went to buy tickets last week all of section C was still available when in fact it was all sold out(we have an e-mail confirming this).

To be quite honest I dont give a flying one whether you sell more tickets than us, in fact your thoughts or opinions are an not even important to me. The only thing that matters to me is that Hibernian have stuffed your mob at full time.

[Chuck Rhoades]

Who cares? I would go there alone. Couldn't care if we sell 1,000 or 152,000. All that counts is the result. The ones who are going want to go to see Hibs and cheer on the boys. That will do for me.

Couldn't care how many sheep are in the ground.

People who haven't bought a ticket either can't make it or simply do not want to go. If they do not want to go, then they shouldn't.

Excellent detective work!
Based on that I would assume we have sold 12/13,000. Hopefully we can get a bit of a rush this week and get to 15,000.

I was under impression we were only selling bottom half of blocks which would suggest half the numbers you suggest.:confused:

[jgl07]

That they seat all the fans together rather than separating the support?

On that logic, Hibs should shut down the East Stand (and maybe the Famous Five) at Easter Road so that all the home supporters sit together.

The best seats, the ones that people want to sit in are in the North and South Stands. The East Stand seats offer a poor view because of the botched rebuild of Hampden thanks to Jim Farry. The rake is inadequate for seating and many are too far from the pitch.

[Spike Mandela]

On that logic, Hibs should shut down the East Stand (and maybe the Famous Five) at Easter Road so that all the home supporters sit together.


I remember as a kid getting a Subbuteo stand which came with a pack of around six supporters. I never knew Whether to sit them together or spread them out.:greengrin

I don't have a season ticket because of work commitments this season, however I've still made about 18 games home and away. If we get to the final I'm in the same position as someone like you mention above. It's why I'm quite pissed off Hibs havent said to keep stubs etc from Saturday as it suggests no priority for those who are there on Saturday.

I understand there has to be a public sale as some really good supporters live abroad etc but they could give every season ticket holder, member and any others who are there on Saturday a ticket and still have about 7000 for a public sale

The thing is, if they allocate 3/4 tickets per ST holder the extra tickets will end up going to non-season ticket holders anyway. So why not reward those heading through on Sat who are non ST holders?

That's exactly my point.

There should be a voucher system or something in place to ensure non ST holders present on Saturday get some kind of priority. I've not seen anything from Hibs yet to suggest this is happening, which seems a bit unfair to me.

As I said above this would still leave a decent number of tickets for a public sale.

So people could be rewarded with priority for cup final tickets by only attending one match this season? :devil:

We all knew months ago what we had to do to gain priority for any potential 'big' matches. The membership scheme in particular provided a cheap route to get closer to the front of the queue.

(And from past experience, whether you are in a priority group or not if we make the final and want to go the odds are in your favour regarding getting a ticket.)

[lucky]

Talk of the final is premature. Hibs fans who go to games always get tickets for finals. Never heard of anyone losing out. But why is this semi final all ticket? it was never going to be a sell out and the crowd will be 25000 max but fans always have to get put out by buying tickets in advance

I don't think anyone has an objection to ST holders and members getting first dibs. They're the ones who put up their cash in advance, fair dos.

Hibs have missed a trick though, as soon as the draw for the semi was made Aberdeen put a notice on their website saying a semi final ticket plus tickets for 2 'qualifying' games at Pittodrie would give priority for a final ticket. This eliminates the reward for attending one game plus it gets more bodies and cash through the gates at a couple of nothing games.

I know realistically I will get a ticket and I'm worrying for nothing but it is a worry nonetheless and something Hibs could have avoided and made a bit much needs cash into the bargain.

Hibs have missed a trick though, as soon as the draw for the semi was made Aberdeen put a notice on their website saying a semi final ticket plus tickets for 2 'qualifying' games at Pittodrie would give priority for a final ticket. This eliminates the reward for attending one game plus it gets more bodies and cash through the gates at a couple of nothing games.

I know realistically I will get a ticket and I'm worrying for nothing but it is a worry nonetheless and something Hibs could have avoided and made a bit much needs cash into the bargain.

Yeap, totally agree with that.

[SquashedFrogg]

Yeap, totally agree with that.

Agree with that as well. Could've used the Motherwell match on Sunday as one of the matches.

The thing is, I've not missed a match on TV all season so should be rewarded by getting the wife out shopping and getting priority of the best seat in the living room... I'll even do a one man card display when the teams run out...

[green&left]

IF (a big if) we reach the final, I'm sure Hibs will be knocking out membership cards for priority. Current members and season ticket holders equate to roughly what, 10k? So potentially another 10k memberships could be sold, nice wee earner for the club.

Check the terms and conditions very carefully. It's no good having the best seat in the house if you don't have the remote.:agree:

It has been asked further up, but nobody has answered yet. So i'd like to ask it again, as i dont personally know of anyone who's missed out on any tickets for a semi or a final.

Has anyone who wanted a ticket, who's a regular at easter road missed out on a ticket for Hampden at any time?

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Know some who missed out on the (non ticket) 91 final when the gates were shut at the Hibs end, but never heard of anyone not getting a ticket for any all ticket game.

Unfortunately, yes.

The last time we played Celtc in the final, I'd been to roughly half of home games (makes it fairly regular). I duly attended the semi against Livi, kept my ticket stub, as it was announced that it guaranteed a final ticket, and applied. We got something like 1,000 less tickets for the final and a number of our tickets were also held back by the club to sell as expensive packages. I was gutted to be one of the few that missed out in the "ticket lottery", especially when I saw there were at least 1,000 Tims in the Hibs end jumping up when they scored.

I remember this scenario. I was fortunate to have the funds and available free time (no children - ah, them were the days!) to own a season ticket back then. I can't remember how mony tickets ST holders were allowed back then but I do remember collecting quite a few, along with mates who were also ST holders, for friends and family to attend. The ex-Mrs Frogg and dad (Jambo) even got tickets.

That's why more than 1 per season ticket isn't any fairer than semi final stubs.

[Keith_M]

Sorry to hear that, to be told you were guaranteed a ticket and then miss out is wrong, i'd have been gutted too. :agree:

For that game itself, there had to be quite a few, as there were 1,500 tickets less for ordinary punters for the final than we took to the semi. I remember hearing stories of people who got to the final that had little to no connection with Hibs and being, to put it mildy, rather annoyed.


In saying that, I'm almost certain that history won't repeat itself this season.

It definitely won't with me because I'm now classed as a part-time, nae-user, glory-hunting barsteward that only comes over for the big games :wink:

---


EDIT: I just remembered that not only did I miss out in the ballot for a ticket, but the Ticket Office sent my "nae luck, ye didnae get a ticket" letter to the wrong address. The only reason it ever reached me was because the nice gentleman in Clackmannan that received it (his and mine were in the same envelope) brought it to my house in Alloa personally.

[silverhibee]

That's exactly it.

I don't have a season ticket because of work commitments this season, however I've still made about 18 games home and away. If we get to the final I'm in the same position as someone like you mention above. It's why I'm quite pissed off Hibs havent said to keep stubs etc from Saturday as it suggests no priority for those who are there on Saturday.

I understand there has to be a public sale as some really good supporters live abroad etc but they could give every season ticket holder, member and any others who are there on Saturday a ticket and still have about 7000 for a public sale


In the same boat as you PB, not a STH or on membership scheme, but haven't missed a home game this season been to every cup game and attended a few away games too, and of course have my tickets for the semi-final, but i am not certain to get a ticket if we make it to the final, the club should have stated anyone who went to the semi would have first dibs of a ticket to the final if we make it.

Sorry wasn't at the Cowdenbeath game.

1993 League cup final. I was away on my honeymoon when Hibs (unannounced) gave out cup final vouchers at a random league game. We got something like 15000 tickets at Parkhead for the final, all went to ST holders and vouchers. I was a regularish walk up at the time, went to the semi (at Tynie) but missed out.

[joe breezy]

Think he's being ironic there.

It's decent gate if that figure materialises, I was expecting around 21,000. Anything 25,000 would be a jolly decent show in the circumstances.


Yeah, i was just having a laugh, although I genuinely would love it to be full. I have 4 pals up from Wales for the game and i've been to Wembley with Cardiff with them when it's been full but those were finals...

Hopefully they'll get to see it more full with Hibbies come final day :)

[hibernian95]

Just went and get out 2 tickets :aok: ticket office showed us only 60 left. If that's off an initial allocation that we recieved could anyone roughly work out how many that is?

The membership was a no brainer if you attend a few games a season. Top deal and I'm surprised not everyone took this up.

I got one and I only attend a few, well worth it as I know if they get to final I should be there. That's worth 20 quid on its own never mind the free game, money off hearts game, club shop voucher and no admin fees.

Even though I missed out once before, I don't agree with all this Uberfan nonsense that some people spout about people going to finals that hardly ever attend.


There are different levels of devotion to Hibs, from the 'go to every game' to the 'look up the scores in the newspaper' level. Most Hibbies I know have moved back and forth between those levels in their lifetime but it p*sses me off when some people think that they're currently a better Hibs fan.

If the club could come out with some system that guarantees a cup final ticket for those currently in the upper echelons of Uber-fandom, that would be great but it wouldn't matter what they tried as I'm sure it wouldn't please everybody.

We got something like 15000 tickets at Parkhead for the final, all went to ST holders and vouchers. I was a regularish walk up at the time, went to the semi (at Tynie) but missed out.

I think that the information leaked out that the vouchers would be given out. One was for a midweek League match against Raith Rovers which attracted a crowd of around 9,000 (50% higher than expected).

I collected 4 vouchers from the two matches. That was sufficient to get four terrace tickets or two seats in the stand. I was queuing from 9:00 in the morning for the ticket office on Leith Walk next to the railway bridge. I was still queuing coming up to 6:00 pm when the staff were due to knock off. Douglas Crombe and other directors then took over in the box office. I finally emerged with two stand tickets for myself and my son at around 7:30pm.

That's not strictly true, it gave you a chance of getting a ticket after season ticket holders had taken up theirs, there was no guarantee. I got my final tickets through that route. (I actually thought i had missed out until I checked my bank account the day before the game and found I had been charged for tickets. They were still in the ticket office, full marks to Hibs who arranged for them to be sent up by courier to Aberdeen so I got them in time.)

Know some who missed out on the (non ticket) 91 final when the gates were shut at the Hibs end, but never heard of anyone not getting a ticket for any all ticket game.
How come the gates got shut? My mates Dad was locked out, I thought Hampden had a huge capacity then but wasn't the crowd only around 40000?

How come the gates got shut? My mates Dad was locked out, I thought Hampden had a huge capacity then but wasn't the crowd only around 40000?

The capacity of Hampden kept getting cut through the 70s and 80s as they knocked down the old north stand, reduced the size of the terracing at the east end and generally cut numbers to stop overcrowding. I think it was down to about 50000 by 1991. Dunfermline had the whole terracing with the roof ("Huns end") but only a few thousand in it. Luckily it didn't rain. :wink:

I remember going to a Scotland game when it was pishing down and the whole 30 odd thousand crowd under that roof.

[hibs0666]

Tickets now being sold in section G. With the north stand sold out (5,000 tickets?), south stand sold out (4-5,000 tickets?) and section F (7,000 tickets?) well on the way then we are looking at a Hibs crowd of 16-17,000. Not too shabby at all lads and lassies!

[jgl07]

Hibs will not have received South Stand tickets for the centre blocks of Section J as they will be reserved for press, hangers-on and bigwigs. I am not sure how many tickets that covers. I recall them mostly being empty for the Dunfermline match especially for the replay.

[Green Man]

The only tickets available online at the moment are in east G1 - suggests the north and south are sold out or close to it, unless there's been a hold up in getting extra tickets online as there was last week. It's looking encouraging :thumbsup:

[RoxburghHibs]

40 Thousand hibs fans

Not quite 40,000 Hibs fans.

The official attendance for that match was 40,377. From memory the Pars had about 8000 fans, so a very good Hibs support none-the-less.

:agree:

[yeezus.]

I reckon we'll both bring about the same amount of fans.

Not that I'm bothered - a good atmosphere is an added bonus, seeing Hibs lift the Scottish Cup is top priority - no matter how many people turn up.

I got locked out at the 1991 final but luckily I managed to sneak in with the pipeband 15 mins into the game.

Hibs will not have received South Stand tickets for the centre blocks of Section J as they will be reserved for press, hangers-on and bigwigs. I am not sure how many tickets that covers. I recall them mostly being empty for the Dunfermline match especially for the replay.

The four sections that have been sold are:


I-6 (rows B-UU seats 115-150)
I-5 (rows B-UU seats 90-115)
I-4 (rows B-UU seats 60-85)
I-3 (rows B-UU seats 31-61)


By my reckoning we have sold as many as 5,400 tickets in the south stand.

[Chuck Rhoades]

Updated from Club:-

Sorry been a bit crazy here today so later than I wanted on update on North and East

In each block we’ve taken out the first couple of rows to try and give people better sightlines (with the agreement of the SFA)

North – from the tickets we have with the exception of these seats at the front (which we will sell if people are adamant they want them) and the odd single seats its pretty well sold-out in all 5 blocks.

East – likewise from the tickets we have been sent we’ve taken some out at the very front and have gone through F1 to F7. Sales now moved into G1 this afternoon.

For your calculations purposes on the card each block averages out at about 875 – 900.

I have asked how many rows from each section have been removed to establish where we should start the card display.

[Chuck Rhoades]

The four sections that have been sold are:

I-6 (rows B-UU seats 115-150)

I-3 (rows B-UU seats 31-61)

By my reckoning we have sold as many as 5,400 tickets in the south stand.


It that's correct, and they are sold out, then yes, 5355 to add to total - id take it as 5k with loads of single seats beuing scattered about.

[PatHead]

Does this mean we have sold around 10,000 in the North and East with 5,000 in the south or am I way out of line?

[Chuck Rhoades]

Does this mean we have sold around 10,000 in the North and East with 5,000 in the south or am I way out of line?

Basing it on an average of 850 per block (after single seats and rows taking away) we have sold 10,200 between East & North with sales still going very well and Section G now being open.

This excludes the South where we have sold tickets to.

15k looks very likely, if not more.

By my calculations, thats 12 x 800 (roughly), = 9600.
Or maybe im very stupid? :dunno:

My guess is there will be c 10-11k Hibs fans, and 14-15k Dons fans at the match. Dons fans will out-sing the Hibbies (as they tend to at the bigger matches).

Why do Hibs never release this info? I don't get what the club gains from not updating the amount of tickets sold for games. Its hardly rocket science. FFS they don't even tell us how many ST get sold. Its this secret service mentality which alienates the club from the fans.

Was in this morning picking up a scarf for the other half and there was a pretty healthy queue at the ticket desk in the store.

[Keith_M]

As a lot of people are working on Friday, it would maybe have made more sense to keep the ticket office/club shop open later, just for the day.


If anyone's leaving it till the last minute, closing at 17:00 does make it a bit harder to get there on time.

It is looking likely 14-15k wil be the attendance.

[DH1875]

Sorry to hear that, to be told you were guaranteed a ticket and then miss out is wrong, i'd have been gutted too. :agree:

We have 1 now, anymore?

I'm another one who despite previously being a ST holder and having my stub from the semi who missed out the last time. Unlike the others though I didn't even get a letter to say I'd missed out and only found out after phoning the ticket office to be told I wasn't getting one. I've never been so P'd off. I agree that ST holders should always be given priority but the talk of 3 or 4 tickets is crazy. Why should I miss out so they can take a mate or family member who's never been to a game? If it happens again and I miss out, I won't be back.

If you want a ticket for the final there's a simple way. Go and get a season ticket for next season.

I'm sure celtic and aberdeen will be doing some good deals.

For one so young, you are wise beyond your years Pedro and Rodders will love the following suggestion.

2011/12 season ticket holders are entitled to 1 ticket.
2012/13 season ticket holders are entitled to 1 ticket.
Season ticket holder for both (uberfan) are therefore entitled to 2 tickets making sure the second goes to a good cause.....or highest bidder

Club Memberships also get 1 ticket with all categories on sale at the same time to allow as many fans as possible to sit together.

Presumably this wont add up to more than the 20k we'd likely get in the unlikely event of beating Awberdeen.
There can then be 2 or 3000 left for the plebs to queue thru the night for.

Settled.

[Chuck Rhoades]

Get yourself to the SF and you will be guaranteed a ticket for the Final.

Settled.

Get yourself to the SF as who knows when we might get to hampden next....... and our club / team need the support if they want to reach the final and possibly Europe :wink:

[SquashedFrogg]

If you look at the image on post #356, we have sold out 12 sections.
The e-mail from the club, (#441), suggests there is 875-900 per section, minus the front 2 rows.
By my calculations, thats 12 x 800 (roughly), = 9600.
Or maybe im very stupid? :dunno:

You said you bought a ticket after Saturdays match? The match was on Sunday :agree:

You said our requested allocation was 10,000. The clubs initial allocation was 15,000 :agree:

By my calculations that makes you one of the following:


(a) Stupid
(b) At the wind-up
(c) All of the above


:na na:

sorry, sunday. I actually left on 88 minutes to beat the rush.
Only telling you what the guy selling the tickets told me.

As for being :crazy: or a :stirrer:?, it has been known, but not on this occasion.

Being a yam!!!!!!! :yw::jamboak::grr::wtf: away and fling :******:at yerself!

Save yer energy for the game you guys.

It disnae matter a stuff how many we've sold
What matters is whether we supporters are up for it

If it helps North Sections have 900 seats, East have an extra 6 rows (120?). South 600-800. As of this morning we had sold 5 North, 7.5 East and 2 or 3 South

Do the math

Are you not guaranteed a ticket if you have a season ticket this year?

Around 14k then. 15k by the end of the day? I'd imagine Aberdeen will be much the same.

Would love to, but at this moment of time I am an out of work father of 2 who doesn't live in Edinburgh. Even if I could afford it the stupid kick off times would mean I'd still miss out on a lot of games.
Point still stands though, as an ex ST holder who's been on the data base for years and has 3 tickets for the semi final, why should I miss out so a season ticket holder can take their granny.

[TamHibs]

Hearts have only sold 10k for their semi apparently. Grunts.

Of course you will be, providing we get to the final:flag:

Hibs have been selling tickets from Block G1 since yesterday. That must be part of the second allocation. That implies that the initial allocation of 15,000 had been sold or substantially sold. That appears to tally with your figures.

I am not sure how that compares with sales for previous semi-finals against Aberdeen, Livingston, Dundee United and Dunfermline. But it is no bad considering the kick off time and being televised by the BBC.

Was there collecting tix today. They have the remainder of section G to go and some in the south stand from original 15k.....guy was estimating over 13k sold so far....

[hibs4life]

I was at the Club shop on Monday and the girl on the ticket desk said they had an allocation of 20k and there weren't that many left. High teens was what I suggested as the ticket sales thus far and she agreed.....
