If its Monday night then that doesn't leave them much time to announce who the lucky 500 are

Does public sale mean queuing? Surely they'd do it over the internet/call centre?

If there is a public sale it ain't going to happen until next Friday at the earliest.

Otherwise, it would make the Dunfermline ballot pointless

I give up. There was no public sale, then one on saturday and now on monday. I've heard there will be no tickets, 200 tickets, 2000 tickets and even 10000 tickets from various people.

Does anybody really have a clue as to what's going on?

Won't be happening on Monday. If anything a week on Monday earliest.

I suspect Hibs will announce something on Friday after the ballot winners have picked up their tickets on Thursday.

I will be very surprised if there is public sale. This will only happen if our allocation is increased

7000 ST holders all renewing = 14000
3000 new ST holders (max imo) = 3000
Dunfermline game = 1000

I think 18,000 will be sold at the very most leaving a decent 3-4K for public sale.

Believe it or not I queued up overnight for tickets for the Livingston League Cup Final. This was despite Hibs getting an initial allocation of 35,000 tickets. I didn't have a season ticket that year and I couldn't be in Edinburgh when the first public sale went ahead. I assumed that there would be plenty left and was horrified to fins that the lot were sold out in two hours.

The second public sale came from returns from debenture holders. They were due to start selling at 9:00 am (or about that). I went along to Easter Road at around 2:30 am and found a long queue there already. I was outside the Church. I had taken two flasks of tea plus sandwiches and a portable MP3 player.

It was an experience! Eventually after daybreak, the office opened and the subsequently I emerged with three Debenture Bronze tickets in the Upper South Stand just above the sparse crew of Livingston supporters.

I can't say that the match was worth the queue. We had booked a hotel in Glasgow for the evening. The only bright spots were the meal at Dino's on Sauchihall Street and the news that Man City had stuffed United 4-1.

3000 new ST holders (max imo) = 3000
Memberships = 1000
Dunfermline game = 1000

19000

So 1000 left. For public sale at most.

I would get along to Pars game to shout on the team and give myself a good chance of getting 2 tickets!

It would appear that most people are forgetting the "corporate" tickets we sold for £180, there will be tickets for players, staff,family and friends as well as tickets for our sponsors. I would be surprised if that did not account for a 1000 tickets.

I don't think the players, staff, etc tickets will come out of our basic allocation. The clubs will probably have got their own allocations out of a different pot - and probably for the more central parts of the south. Just my uninformed opinion, though.

What are you guys expecting crowd wise on Monday night?

Me and a mate are getting the train down from Aberdeen on Monday morning to get tickets.

Apparently our allocation (and Hearts) has increased slightly. Don't know by how much, but is in the Scotsman today (Thursday). Didn't see the article myself, the Jambo next to me at work was telling me.

Sure they come out of our basic allocation. :aok:

Did I not read that the £180 corporate tickets were the returned debentures? But if not. That could be another 500 out the pot.

Monday night is best option.

There is no way that 7000 people have renewed their season tickets. Also would doubt if there are 3000 new season ticket holders as well.

The game is on Monday night. The ballot winners are announced Tuesday and have until 5pm Thursday to pick them up. All info is on Hibs website.

I do think there will be a public sale but it won't be until a week on Monday at the very earliest, but will be announced next week. Not sure how many tickets or whatever but my guess would be around 1500

I'm sure i read somewhere yesterday that a lot of the debenture seats will be up for grabs and that could bring both teams allocations up to 24000. I have not seen that anywhere official yet so not sure how solid the info was.

Yep, I know at least 6 people who haven't renewed for various reasons.

IF there having a public sale, why limit it to 500 fans for the Dunfermline game though? They would be better of saying anyone who goes to it can get a ticket for the final :confused:.

lucky fans from the ballot will have till thursday to pick up tickets , hibs will have any public sale on the friday before the last game of the season for sure it wont run into the cup finnal week , my view is there will be about 4k tickets up for grabs at least .:aok::greengrin:flag:

I remember that. 4 hours to get a ticket. One of the Proclaimers was in the queue just ahead of me, you would have thought Rod would have sorted him out for tickets

Indeed. There was a quote from an SFA chap explaining that both Hibs and Hearts would very likely be getting more seats, taking each club's allocation to 24000.

On the first deadline date, only 1200 had renewed. By yesterday over 6500 had renewed.:agree:
