[hibs0666]

Those prices are too low.

[Dashing Bob S]

Those prices are too low.

Agreed - I anticipate a drunken nedfest. Let's hike them up so only the REAL fans like myself who are both asset-rich and have a huge disposable income can afford to attend.

Give me 5,000 well dressed and impeccably behaved men, before 13,500 coarse-tongued plebs any day of the week.

You two can't be serious?

Surely dangling your rods out here for a bite? Ridiculous comments if not.

[Glory Lurker]

Wheatfield for me.

[Pretty Boy]

Seems fair to me.

Hoping for the Gorgie stand but will settle for the Wheatfield. At 6'3" I doubt I could even squueze into the rows in the asbestos relic.

second one is taking the micky, the first one is deadly serious!

Dbs has tough planted, not sure about the other.

Good prices, but slightly odd, would have expected 20 and 10.

Can't complain mind.

[EH54]

Wheatfield for me i think :)

Fair pricing

.net really needs a definitve facepalm emoticon for moments like this.

Great prices, expecting a sold out Tynecastle now.

Your obliviously new around here - DBS is our resident upper class fashionista - tweed was a staple of his wardrobe well before these hipsters began wearing it in the last 12 months!

Every game is a fashion parade.....in his mind.

[Salt N Sauzee]

Figured that after reading DBS' comment again :aok:

Hook, Line...


Prices for a football game can never be too low. Twenty's plenty.

Reeled in. Too easy.

[iwasthere1972]

DBS has taken in more folk than that Vlad guy who did a disappearing act from Gorgie a few years.

[brog]

I'm one of the first to criticise the circus that is the SPFL so I think it's only fair to applaud them for this pricing policy. Proper prices & a great opportunity for young fans to enjoy a big occasion.

[CropleyWasGod]

Nit picking here, but no concessions for OAP's?

[Liam89]

Anyone be kind enough to estimate what our allocation would be in numbers?

[scott7_0(Prague)]

At a guess 14,000 going up to nearly 15,000 if upper N becomes available to Hibs

[DH1875]

Thought it only holds around 16k? If so, no chance we'll have 15k.


I do think that £20 a ticket will make it harder for non season ticket holders to get a ticket because more people will be tempted to go.

[Since90+2]

According to a quick Wiki search on Tynecastle our alloation will be around 13,000.

6000 in the Wheatfield ,3500 in the Gorgie plus the majority of the Main Stand (it holds 4,700).

According to the tinternet 17,420

[MB62]

So it costs £22 to watch Hibs v Livingston in a championship league game, yet only £20 to watch the semi-final of the league cup against a premiership side.
Somebody has their figures wrong here.

Seriously, I wouldn't have batted an eyelid at £25 and as the two semi-final gates get pulled then split 4 ways, this was a good chance to screw some money out of the dodgers. :thumbsup:

Aye you're subsidising us for a change. :greengrin

[CropleyWasGod]

Aye you're subsidising us for a change. :greengrin

Beat it. :greengrin

I was thinking about my old man. He'll moan like F if i tell him it costs £20. He was just last week talking about the old days when he got a lift-over.

[Loopz]

As I will be taking both my sons that's a great U16's price. :agree:

Aye those were the days. Imagine going home to your parents nowadays and telling them that some auld guy who reeked of whisky picked you up. :greengrin

[seanshow]

Now we need to know how many loyalty points will guarantee a ticket, after ST & Share holders get tickets?

[Moulin Yarns]

Beat it. :greengrin

You could still give him a lift over....

[Billy Whizz]

Would have thought anyone around 150 or so points will get a ticket during the 1st round. After that, not sure where it will go

On the bright side the gunts get less moolah.

[Smartie]

On the bright side the gunts get less moolah.

Will they not just be paid a flat rental of the stadium, irrespective of the numbers or value of tickets sold?

[Diclonius]

Prices aren't great for students (who have to pay the adult price), but I'm sure someone will be along to tell me to shut up and that we should be paying adult prices anyway. :greengrin

£20 is more than acceptable for a national cup semi final.

[Dashing Bob S]

According to a quick Wiki search on Tynecastle our alloation will be around 13,000.

6000 in the Wheatfield ,3500 in the Gorgie plus the majority of the Main Stand (it holds 4,700).

:fibber::fibber::fibber::fibber::fibber: That would be a Jambo 4,700.

[Since90+2]

I know they are fond of inflating attendances but by my calculations the main stand probably is aroun 4,700.

6000 in the Wheatfield , 3500 each for the Gorgie & Roseburn is 13,000. If the total ground holds 17,500 then its probably not far off it.

[robinp]

:fibber::fibber::fibber::fibber::fibber: That would be a Jambo 4,700.

Yes - the last time quite a few people turned up to find they had tickets for seats that did not exist!

[craigmounthibby]

£20 for me. £5 for the boy. £1 for the disinfectant wipes to thoroughly clean our seats from previous incumbents.

Sorted.

[HH81]

Lets hope I get a ticket now having already booked a return ticket!

[Colr]

Agreed - I anticipate a drunken nedfest. Let's hike them up so only the REAL fans like myself who are both asset-rich and have a huge disposable income can afford to attend.

Give me 5,000 well dressed and impeccably behaved men, before 13,500 coarse-tongued plebs any day of the week.

Surely we will be able to occupy the well appointed debenture suites in the main stand where we can enjoy a regional tapas selection and some well chosen softly sparkling craft Catalan cider whilst we enjoy the game with similarly refined gentlemen. Such facilities must be plentiful at the home of such a large and well establish association football club.

[Colr]

Baby boomers pay double.

[Broken Gnome]

What thread had the breakdown for how many were in each loyalty point bracket?

Possibly pre-Ibrox earlier in the season.

[Keith_M]

I'll be sitting in the Wheatrfield Stand, in the padded seats... same as the last time we played St J there in the Semi Final.


I'm off to book my flights now

If this is the John Robertson lounge you're talking about you'll get a bottle opener and a bowl of nuts on each table. If you're lucky.

Oh, and don't forget to wrap up.

And watch out for the lumps of hardening chewing gum stuck on the underside of the tables.

Is it a Bushtucker trial?

Yes Bob, I totally agree.

Real fans will turn up suitably attired in a three-piece suit with a flower in their button holes. No nedish shell suits or training shoes (whatever they are).

Absolutely no shouting, singing, or swearing whatsoever. This is a football match after all. Absolute gentlemanly decorum must be maintained at all times.

They used to give pensioners a lift over? :greengrin

[DH1875]

Would I be right in thinking the only reason this is £20 is because their trying to get as many bodies as possible inside Hampden for the celtic game

[Scouse Hibee]

We have become so accustomed to being ripped off to watch football that we are now proclaiming that £20 is cheap.......................it aint

[Kaff]

Somebody might be able to help on here, kids not able to make this game so wondering if i could use one of their season tickets to buy an adult ticket for this game?
Thanks in advance.
