Will it be two per season ticket holder for the final then those with so many points then public sale?

I reckon STs will account for circa 16,000, loyalty points 4/5000 so not many left for the fair weather fans unless the STs take the mother in law.

I've no idea how they will work it but hopefully there's a bit common sense so groups can sit together. There's 20K tickets minimum to go around so there shouldn't be too many issues.

Amazing that Scottish League arranged LC final at same day and time as a home rugby international ( rugby dates will have been fixed 2 or 3 years ago ) not so much for football fans who might have tickets for rugby as for people working in pubs , hotels , shops which cash in when rugby`s on . For other finals there have been threads here about hotels and no doubt rugby will push prices up a lot . Not sure if it could affect trains and booking buses too . Can`t imagine sponsors will be happy either . On positive side , if we win , French rugby fans can enjoy celebrations too and spread word about Hibees when they return to land of Sauzee , Zitelli etc . Good omen too - in 2007 I remember Scotland played France at rugby ( in Paris ) the same weekend we won LC ( I`m not a rugby fan so fixture clash won`t affect me but I remember seeing Scottish rugby fans in Paris and London ( Eurostar was closed cause of fire in London so many rugby fans were stranded in London ) on way to final .

2 per ST holder if its RC is fair enough. If its Celtic it wont be 2 and neither it should be.

bbc have the Scotland/France game, the big game in englandshire is Liverpool/Chelsea.

Just to add. If it is RC, no way can they make it a 12.30 kick off. Cant expect their fans to make it to glasgow for 12 o'clock.

Pretty Boy
31-01-2016, 01:01 PM
If either game is going to be moved it will be the football.

The 6 nations plans will be set in stone, will likely attract a bigger TV audience and the thrice a year brigade who make up a huge chunk of international rugbys fan base in this country won't be inconvenienced.

Why not? 8000 season tickets = 16,000 out of 20,000 leaving 4000 tickets for the rest.

Rangers are at home that day are they not?

I fully expect it to be 2 per ST holder regardless of the opposition, easier to administer and gives groups of friends the opportunity to sit together.

If it's Celtic then 2 for current season ticket holders and 1 for current half season ticket holders. That will still leave about 6,500 for the rest. :tin hat:

Pretty sure the last 2 cup finals weren't 2 per season ticket holder. I had a ST and didnt get 2 tickets so don't see why this one would be different. I no longer have a ST so would be raging if I missed out on ticket so that a ST holder can take a family member who never goes while I have loyalty points sitting. Your reward for your season ticket is your cup final ticket. Shouldn't be your mates/family members reward. Just my opinion of course.

The last final was 1 per season ticket and you got another 1 if you renewed for the following season.

My husband and son are away for a family birthday holiday to Spain and before booking the flights I checked the date of the LC Final (just in case) and was pretty sure it was the Sunday 20 March (I can't remember where I got that date from) so booked the flights for the weekend before - they go away on 11 March !!! Do you think the final is likely to get changed at all to the Saturday or earlier on the Sunday as my son wants to go to the final and change his flight to go out later and join the rest - so if the KO is earlier on the Sunday or the even changed to the Saturday it would help when changing flights but I can't do anything til it is confirmed when do you think we will know for definite.

Defo 3pm. They won't change it to 12.30pm because IF we won it there would be 30k fans coming home to Edinburgh and god knows how many lining the street when the rugby is coming out. So, 3pm it will be in order for them to get away from Mfield before we return.
