Not wanting to be overly critical of the club, especially in a week when we've stood up to the muppets that run the SPFL, but why does the ticket office close at 5?

Lots of people won't be able to get down to easter road for 5. With it being closed tomorrow IMO it should be open until 6/6:30 to give fans a chance to get tickets after work.

Without being funny surely there is no viable reason why there shouldnt be tickets on the day from booths. They do it for Scotland games so should do it tomorrow.

Think anyone whose going would have collected their tickets by now and the others who haven't will find a way of getting their tickets by 5pm. Friends, relatives will help them out or if they are working they'll find a way of leaving early.

The staff have to go home as well. They will have been very busy for the last 2-3weeks with all these ticket sales. Can't expect them to stay on until 8,9,10,11 pm just incase folk want to buy tickets or for folk who haven't bothered to pick tickets up by the deadline.

Surely people have had enough time to buy and collect tickets by now therefore I think 5pm is fine

Most likely Hibs are awaiting Police/SFA confirmation as to whether there will be booths. Seen it in the past at some of the smaller clubs where Hibs are keen for booths and they have been held back until late on before announcing it. Police obviously don't see it as a priority and would rather supporters turn up on the day with tickets.

Remember the Cup Final wasn't sold out last season and yet there were no tickets on sale on the day of the match.

In short, I am sure if Hibs could announce it they would.

To be safe, best to get down to the stadium if you can and buy your tickets today.

It's roughly the same number we usually take.

I think it's incredible that a Club like Hibs, with the record we have in Cup Competitions, can still have so many people willing to go support the team. Think of how many disappointments we've had and yet we still keep going.

Is 16K disappointing for a semi final?

I can rember being one of 9K v Rangers, considerably less than 9K v Ayr Utd. It's not far off what we had a couple of years ago against Falkirk and likewise not far off what we had against Aberdeen 3 years ago (and about 6K more than Hearts managed v Celtic that year).

Decent effort imo and if we win it will hopefully entice a few of the 7K or so extra back on a more regular basis.

CB_NO3
17-04-2015, 12:31 PM
In current circumstances thats a good turn out. The big team along the road took 12k to ER for a semi final in their same city against ICT. They also took 12k to Hampden when the beat Celtic a few years ago.

Dont think it would have been a bad idea to keep it open until 6.30 / 7pm to give folk a chance who have decided to go last minute a chance to buy tickets after work. Yes , they could have bought it weeks ago but some folk may only decide last minute to make the journey and we should be doing all we can to encourange as many people as possible to go.

I think you've quoted the wrong poster as I didn't suggest the ticket office stay open until "8,9,10,11 pm".

Guaranteed there will be fans who will struggle to get there before 5 to pick up their tickets. If it was open until 6 it would make it so much easier and would cost us hardly any more in ticket office staff wages. It's a small change that would make a big difference IMO.

16,000 plus is a decent turnout for a semi against Falkirk in the weej.

Surely Hibs will just set a points cut off depending on how many tickets we get.

e.g if there are 20,000 tickets and say 18,000 have 10pts plus then they'll get first dibs.

Mind you saying that they'll probably do it in phases. 150+ Points get the first go at the best seats.

They haven't used the points system once this season since we started accumulating them. I don't think they would be able to implement this for one last game. The points system will start proper from next season.

That's my understanding. 22,000 or so tickets, those with 150 plus loyalty points (e.g. season ticket holders) get first dibs, then reduce the points needed.

Only thing to note is it's quite possible not to go the the semi and still have more points than those who did if you've been to more than 2 other games.

17,000 fans will be there. We are above 16k and there will be more today and on the day.

Well done everyone as many are on holiday, early kick off, on TV. Just shows the Scottish Cup and Hampden in general draws a great following. Imagine everyone else going this weekend! Here are my approx. stats!

Aberdeen 15,000

Your probably either doing Dundee United a disservice or given St Mirren a bigger fanbase than they actually have with those stats but I agree in general.

Think for a semi-final against Falkirk, Hearts would match what we've sold hate to say it.

From the Falkirk website.

SEMI FINAL TICKET UPDATE

Tickets will be on sale from the Club Shop at The Falkirk Stadium until 4 pm today.

The Club will also be selling tickets at Hampden Park from 10 am tomorrow until Kick Off.

There will be a kiosk located behind the West Stand.

Maybe Hibs are waiting until 5pm when they close the ticket office to announce similar arrangements?

My two eldest sons are going. Both had to take time of work to go so are actually losing money to attend. I'm sure there will be others in the same boat who work at weekends so can't go more often.

Many did we take last time we played Falkirk in the semi final?

At KO or at start of second half ? :)

Hear hear scoops :agree:.

Auntie Ethel who once walked down Easter rd to some shopping has a semi ticket though, she'll be first in the queue if we make it to the final as well!!

Whilst I dont disagree with the sentiment Hermit, I'd say well done to Auntie Ethel for at least getting off her backside and going:greengrin
:greengrin...

Giving up an afti's bingo at meadowbank is a big ask, damn right she should get a final ticket......

To be fair anyone that goes tomorrow should be getting a final ticket on the obvious provisio that we cross the small hurdle of beating Falkirk......

Looking forward to it though.

Tickets have been on sale for weeks yet people are moaning at the ticket office closing at 5pm and that there's no confirmation of ticket sales at Hampden. I'd question your own organisation, not the clubs.

:agree:

Remembering as well that this is the last weekend of the easter holidays and many may be away on holiday or simply doing family things.

Aye, like me, taking the kids to hampden and leaving the hun of a wife to sit in the house where she belongs:greengrin

Cheers Al, wasn't sure as boy in work thought it was under 15k.

That has definitely happened before. May have been the Celtic final back in 2001. 16k fans guaranteed a ticket leaving the rest to fight over 4000 tickets.

We took over 20k to the semi final and a lot of people missed out on a ticket for the final despite keeping their stubs. I should know, I was one of them :(

Right enough I remember that. Wondered why it was so easy getting tickets. It was the semi v Livi wasn't it.

Was toying with driving there and back from Bath in a day, until my wife and Dad explained to me that was mental.

Watching it in the pub tomoz instead.

Easy getting tickets??? It went to a ballot and a lot of folk who were at the semi missed out as we took more fans to the semi than we got tickets for the final.

Tickets will be for sale outside Hampden at the Hibs end ... confirmed :aok:

We have sold over 16,000 tickets and could be over 17,000 by kick off. I'm at a loss to see what more folk expect for this game, live on the telly and a bloody stupid kick off time ... not everybody wanting to go lives in the central belt.

IMO that's a great effort by the fans this time ........ C'mon the Hibees !!!

Its a cracking attendance given our current home crowds. As previously suggested, our semi final attendances will be close to - if not actually- the best average attendance at Scottish Cup semi finals outside the Old Firm.

Because it would cost about £70 instead of £30 at Hampden!

I'm guessing that it will be opposite the row of shops that are just along from the bowling club.

If we get to the final we will get a max of 20,000 tickets. With us selling 16k hibs can now say keep your stub and it guarantees you a final ticket. :wink:

If Inverness beat Celtic on Sunday, it's quite possible that we could get as many as 35000 tickets for the final.

They would bring down no more than 10000 fans.

You'll get a ticket no problem from the kiosk at the stadium. Just have to find it first.

Aye right.

Depending on the family make up and area of the stadium, not to mention the poster you quoted's location, that could be right.

It costs less to be a walk up to the semi final of a SC semi final than for some of our home games in the Scottish "Championship "

That's absurd IMO

Even if prices were similar (to the lower end) there's no way we'd get many of these fans attending on a regular basis though without a sustained period of 'success'.
