Final ticket allocation

[Pretty Boy]

What is it likely to be?

Dingwall has a population of 5500. Obviously RC will pull support from a wider area though. Realistically how many tickets could they sell? How many did they have at Hampden today?

[Since90+2]

I can't see them bringing anymore than 5000 or 6000.

[Hermit Crab]

They will get 10,000 max PB. We will get 30,000 minimum

[Hibernia&Alba]

We must be looking at 30,000 tickets. I can't imagine Ross County could sell more than 10,000 - probably less. Plenty to go around.

[Pretty Boy]

They will get 10,000 max PB. We will get 30,000 minimum

That's what I was thinking.

Should make for a great atmosphere.

[Diclonius]

Everyone who wants a ticket and their dog will get one.

[lord bunberry]

How many did they take to the final they were in a few years ago?

[Baldy Foghorn]

What is it likely to be?

12-15K I reckon they will get whether they sell them is another issue........We will get 30K........IMO

[Sir David Gray]

Ross County will take around 8,000.

[Sergey]

How many did we take to Hampden when we played Killie?

[Hermit Crab]

That's what I was thinking.

Should make for a great atmosphere.

:agree:
As long as it doesn't end up another livvy situation, another killy situation would be acceptable :greengrin.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

37k for the Livingston final, would expect at least the same. Absolutely no Hibs fan will miss out on a ticket - so let's not have all the usual hysteria.

[Col2]

They could sell 10k max but I think it will be closer to 7-8k.

Against Killie in 2007 we got 37k and Killie got 10k. Minimum 35k for us I would say. Usually up to 5k for sponsors but unless it's Edinburgh Derby or one or both ugly sisters then normally take up of sponsors and debentures is lower.

If you want a ticket then you will get one!!

[Hermit Crab]

12-15K I reckon they will get whether they sell them is another issue........We will get 30K........IMO

2 or 4 per season ticket holder? :greengrin

[hibee_girl]

Stubbs saying on tv we'll be taking at least 25000 fans to the final :thumbsup:

Agree. Everyone who wants one will get a ticket.

[hibby6270]

How many did we take to Hampden when we played Killie?

It was at least 30,000.

38,000 is going through my mind?

[DH1875]

10k for them. 5k for sponsors, club comps, sfa blazers etc..... should leave us with 35k+ easy.

[Hibernia&Alba]

How many did we take to Hampden when we played Killie?

Wasn't it around 35,000?

[happiehibbie]

its started I would give points to supporters who start to attend games from now we can take 14k to tyne we can only get 9k for league matches t really annoys me

[Alfred E Newman]

Anyone who calls themselves a Hibs supporter will get a ticket if they want one.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Sure county took over 10k vs Dundee United in 2010. I expect us to sell 30-40k

[JPrinty]

It was 30,000 for Killie and 38,000 for Livi game

[Onion]

Think we'll take 35000 - 40000. We've got a good team, great team spirit and a real good chance of winning the thing, so expect masses of aunts, uncles, drunks and other glory hunters to turn out.

Let the scramble begin :thumbsup:

[HH81]

2 or 4 per season ticket holder? :greengrin

Straight to general sale for me. I fancy half way line seats for me and the 49 other non hibs fans I am bringing on my coach from Yorkshire. We deserve it travelling all that way.

[Onion]

It was 30,000 for Killie and 38,000 for Livi game

We were restricted to 30k for Killie game and as many as we wanted for Livi. We'll get as many as we want to County match.

[Golden Bear]

Anyone who calls themselves a Hibs supporter will get a ticket if they want one.

Exactly.

[JPrinty]

We were restricted to 30k for Killie game and as many as we wanted for Livi. We'll get as many as we want to County match.

Spot on :thumbsup:

[lucky]

Every fan who wants to attend will get a ticket from both clubs. County around 10000 and us 35000-40000. There will be no scramble for tickets and the loyalty points will be rested for that game

[davhibby]

County took something like 17,000 to the Scottish Cup final a few years ago so I'd say 30,000 will probably be the most we'll get

[jgl07]

Hibs will probably get the biggest share of the Corporate areas and end up with at least 40,000. I will be surprised if Ross County can manage more that 13,000.

[Col2]

Interesting ..... The cup final between St Mirren and the yams has 44k so must have been some unsold and not taken up by the club with 400,000 supporters.

I wonder if in general the days of getting 35k+ for either Edinburgh team have gone?

[Greencore]

I ****ing love Hibernian!!!!!

[Jones28]

Stubbs saying on tv we'll be taking at least 25000 fans to the final :thumbsup:


He's underestimating by a good 8-10k

[HibbyAndy]

County took something like 17,000 to the Scottish Cup final a few years ago so I'd say 30,000 will probably be the most we'll get


No danger !

[HibbyAndy]

Minimum 30 K tickets, And we will sell the lot easy peasy

[Golden Bear]

County took something like 17,000 to the Scottish Cup final a few years ago so I'd say 30,000 will probably be the most we'll get

That's amazing when you consider that Dingwall has a population of about 5,500. All credit to them for their achievements so far (not to get carried away of course!)

[Hibeesmad]

Hoping that loyalty points won't come into play for this game, want to take a load of mates from work to the match who haven't been to a game before, build the numbers and possibly create new Hibees!!

[SeanWilson]

How many did they take to the final they were in a few years ago?

17000 .... So some of these figures an tosh.

[Baldy Foghorn]

ST holders will be guarantedd tickets first, whether it is one ore two each.....It won't just be a free for all

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Wonder when they'll go on sale?

[Hibeesmad]

ST holders will be guarantedd tickets first, whether it is one ore two each.....It won't just be a free for all

Going by this, it's going to be unlimited tickets for season ticket holders

http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/5295

[Canon Hannan]

10,000 to County
35,000 to Hibs
But here will be more available in the Corporate/Debenture areas too.
Thank fek we won yesterday!
How many yeas has it been since HMFC won the league Cup

[B.H.F.C]

We'll get the full north stand, behind the one of the goals and half the main stand to start with I reckon.

[21.05.2016]

Everyone that wants a ticket will get one.

[LaMotta]

The lowest league cup final attendance in the last 20 years :agree:

But here will be more available in the Corporate/Debenture areas too.

54. That's just because it's beneath them though. Probably.

No danger !

They took 15k according to this article:

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/573353/Cut-price-Hampden-showdown-lined-up-for-Scottish-Cup-Final

still more than I would have thought!

[hfc rd]

35K for Hibs, 12K for County. I reckon

[Bristolhibby]

IMHO it has to be pointed members first then general sale.

Hibs should let anyone with points buy at the same time as this would mean that mates in different brackets can get seats together. No point giving ST holders extra tickets when IIRC there are about 30,000 Hibs fans on points of some sort, they should all get first shout before ST second tickets. Perhaps after those sales then ST holders get a shot at buying a second ticket.

Season Tocket holders will get a priority period as they always have done. My guess is either 180 or 90 points so that half season ticket holders qualify as well. Just a guess though.:greengrin

[Alex Trager]

He's underestimating by a good 8-10k

Don't think he realised how big this club is.

[Billy Whizz]

Hope they do at least 2 per season ticket holder. Will help Hibs move them quicker

[Danderhall Hibs]

Play it at Tiny. Let the glory hunters scrap it out for tickets.

[wookie70]

Get selling a "to the end of the season" season ticket guaranteeing a cup final ticket. Surely we must try to capitalise on our success

[Scouse Hibee]

I wonder how many "new"hibees I will encounter tomorrow :-)

[Ged]

Hope they do at least 2 per season ticket holder. Will help Hibs move them quicker

Agreed. That would suit our group perfectly :greengrin

[Bristolhibby]

I don't think speed will be the issue. Fairness should be the priority.

No way should a ST holder get a 2nd before the pointed members get their tickets. IMHO of course.

Would this be because you don't have a season ticket then? :greengrin
It doesn't matter really how they do this, everybody who wants a ticket will get one.

[Keith_M]

I think RC should be given the opportunity of selling as many tickets as they can

They could, for instance, be allocated the West End of the South Lower and also sell tickets in the West Stand in blocks starting at the south end. If there are any sections still unsold, the option should be given to Hibs to sell those tickets.

[Pete]

Play it at Tynecastle

[hfc rd]

Anyone that wants a ticket will get one.

[Bristolhibby]

Absolutely, and I agree with you, everyone who wants to go will get a ticket. However as has been debated continuously this season there is a loyality scheme and these are the occasions it should be used. Can't see the club doing anything other than using it TBH. Like I said, before general sale perhaps give ST holders a second bite of the cherry.

J

[Carheenlea]

Season Ticket Holders will get a few days to buy at first, then straight to general sale. I don't see any need for restriction on how many can be bought either.

[Aldo]

Agreed but don't think they will sell any more than 15k (might be surprised tho)

Our initial allocation will probably be 25 to 28k

They would be using the loyalty scheme though, only instead of saying ST holders they will say those with 180 points get priority. :greengrin

[adhibs]

if theres 20k with loyalty points they should just open the sales to everyone of them at the same time. people can sit with their mates no bother. anyone whos not been in the last couple years should still manage to get one no bother after that.

[iwasthere1972]

That's the most logical way to do it. Get them sold quickly as well then put them on General Sale There will be plenty to go around.

[Bostonhibby]

Anyone who calls themselves a Hibs supporter will get a ticket if they want one.
Agree. Great time to be a glory hunter. Nowhere near as much stick as when we are facing celtc or the yam in a final.

[AlbertK86]

They could just do PATG like against Dunfy in 91 when there were 40k Hibs fans in and hundreds more locked out !!!

[Alfred E Newman]

Just realised that this will be my 9th League Cup Final. 3 wins 5 defeats so far.

[Bristolhibby]

1 & 1 for me in LC finals. (2004 & 2007).

Hoping to make it 2 & 1.

J

[Barman Stanton]

Have heard the term Glory Hunters getting used a lot here. No one supporting Hibs is a glory hunter! Would be a pretty poor choice of that was your intention. There are many reasons why people may not be able to attend games.

[Diclonius]

Will be my first LC final - wasn't a ST holder in 2007 and missed out in the general sale. Here's hoping we can get the win for a second time.

How could you miss out with 35'000 tickets available???

[Scouse Hibee]

There will be plenty to round our regular support, our irregular support, overseas fans who make the considerable effort to attend, day trippers, relatives of day trippers, and ****wits who want to get pissed, cause trouble and upset women and children. Have I missed anyone?

It's usually the day tripping women and their sprogs that get pissed and upset folk in the family section on my experience 😀

[Killiehibbie]

I managed to miss out 2004 and 2007 but got to both games in the other end.

[erin go bragh]

Try thousands bud . PATG should never ever be done for a final after that fiasco in 91 ( Yes I were one of the thousands locked out ) Hadn't missed a game for years . Still pisses me off when I think of the non Hibs fans that were at the game . ( I know a fin Rangers fan that was in our end )

GGTTH

[DH1875]

Everyone that wants a ticket will get one.

Promise.

[GreenCastle]

Hopefully 35,000 plus Hibs fans there.

Can't wait for this already - hopefully younger fans given the chance to see us lift some silverware.

[StevieT]

Just realised that this will be my 9th League Cup Final. 3 wins 5 defeats so far.

The same for me. Missed the 6-2 game with Celtc.

I believe that lot took 25,000 to their 'wee cup' that they always say they are not interested in (aye right, tell that to the 25,000 then).

I have to agree that I reckon 35,000 for us is a bit wishful thinking these days and that Stubbs estimate will be nearer the mark.

35k easy ! Our group already 4 x norm with folk coming from all over the Uk and overseas for this one.

[GreenCastle]

Hibs will sell 35,000 minimum for this game if given the tickets.

Like others I have friends who haven't been at games for a while or friends of other clubs wanting to go and enjoy the day and game.

I'm all for them coming and I hope Hibs open up ticket sales so groups can sit together.

Also ideally keep the family end for families and kids (future generations of fans). Unknown in previous finals the family sections have had issues with guys swearing their heads off etc.

That will more than likely happen in a general sale which take place after season ticket holders have had their chance first. I expect prices to be decent for this as I would think the SFA will want to encourage fans to attend rather than have a half empty stadium.

[worcesterhibby]

definitely coming up for this and bringing a mate. My record is 3 cup finals and two wins...let's make it 3 out of 4 !

[HibbyScott]

My flights up are booked already! Can't wait for this one

[allmodcons]

I don't want to rain on everybody's parade here, but would be very surprised if we take anything like 35,000 to the final.
Ross County will do well take 8,000 and I reckon we'll do really well to sell 30,000 tickets. I'd be very surprised if attendance exceeds 40,000.

Why?
Provided a sensible way of selling the tickets which allows people to buy tickets for friends/family and sit together I'm sure we'll sell as many tickets as we can get. We sold out 37K for Livi final, though we were a premier league club at the time there was much less of a feel good factor around Blobby Williamsons team back then.

[persevere1875]

Re-counted this day again last night to anyone that would listen, still one of the greatest day's I can remember, unbelievable turn out from the Hibs fans and an unbelievable atmosphere back at ER that night, took a mate from New Zealand up with me who'd never been to a football match, he was blown away and Ive still got some woman's Green cardigan that she gave me when I was freezing (alcohol thinned blood) if your on here I can bring it back this time lol, GGTTH

We will sell in excess of 30,000 no problem.

As starter we will be given

The entire North Stand (around 11,400)
The entire East Stand (around 12,800)
Half the South stand availability (about 6-7,000 as a guess once debentures etc. are held back)

so that's roughly 31,000.

If we sell that little lot (we will) we will get what County cant sell in the West and unsold debentures etc. Potentially another 10,000 I reckon.

Anyone who want's will get.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

There'll be a huge amount of youngsters there since The Old Firm and Hearts won't be the opposition.

[EH54]

Think as long as hibs don't restrict tickets too much then these will sell well, Go through the point structure if they must letting people buy two tickets then on general sale let them buy as many as they want i very much doubt anyone wanting a ticket for this will miss out

[HibsNutter]

Expecting a huge support. A great chance to lure back some fans who won't have been in a while. Sack 'the glory hunting' chat too, as someone who's at almost every game I'd much rather 40K hibees than the core 8/9K.

This. Looking to bring my wife and two sons to this one. Both my boys are Hibs daft, despite only my eldest having been to one game. We'd shift 35,000 easy.

I can live with daytrippers, part timers, lapsed hibees etc. What i hate is the drunken erses who arrive at every final demanding a convincing win. Soon as things get tough slating every player and leaving early. Dont come guys, its on the telly

The fan base is there to sell over 30000 tickets, our average crowds are obviously down, but the fans that attended in 2007 are still out there.

:agree: If we have an initial allocation of 30,000 I think that anyone with 20 points and above (IIRC there are about 13k fans at that level) should be able to buy two tickets then wave 2 (1-19 points) which is about 7K fans. Depending on how many tickets are left, one or two tickets. A General Sale afterwards if any tickets left.

I'd do away with loyalty points for this game. There is no need to award them because everyone will be there.

For me, as long as ST's get first shot then that'll be enough. 2 per ST holder will get the ball rolling.

Just my opinion.

[Pete]

There will be over 35000 made available and I'm sure we'll all get one.

You can even get one for your neutral pal if you like.

They will set the band well above 20 points in order to keep the sales manageable. Having 13000 fans trying to buy tickets on day one would lead to a lot of frustration. It doesn't matter, everybody will get tickets.

For me, as long as ST's get first shot then that'll be enough. 2 per ST holder will get the ball rolling.

Just my opinion.


So would I. I'd just do season ticket holders first shout then open it up to a general sale.

Why not one per season ticket holder? Your a big fan of this loyalty system so why change it to suit yourself?

How about one per person the general sale then too?

Fine by me. One each

[Billy Whizz]

Fine by me. One each

It would take too long to sell them, and cause chaos for Hibs

[JimBHibees]

Yep needs to be more so that people can sit together. Was it not one each at the semi final v Hearts?

Two each per season ticket would be my shout and if people need more than that will need to wait until a later sale. Bottom line is everyone that wants a ticket will get them.

[GreenArmyyy!]

What I want to see happen is a free for all if we get given an allocation of 30k-35k.... Personally what I think will happen is two per person over 180 points then 90 points, then one point and then general sale.

[blackpoolhibs]

All season ticket holders should be able to purchase as many as they like. Give them 3 days to buy these tickets, then after that its a free for all.

No need for loyalty bollocks for this one, just as there's been no need for it in any game we've played in this season.

And get them on sale as soon as possible.

[Brightside]

ST holders will be allowed to buy as many as they like.

[iwasthere1972]

So long as its not more than two. :agree:

I can't believe what I'm reading here :greengrin

[HibbySpurs]

They will set the band well above 20 points in order to keep the sales manageable. Having 13000 fans trying to buy tickets on day one would lead to a lot of frustration. It doesn't matter, everybody will get tickets.

This 100%.

Usual rules, ST holders get first dibs and I'd say max 4 to allow families etc. to sit together.

It's not like ST holders are going to buy extra just for the sake of it, they will only take what the need.

Everyone will get to this if they are on the database with points.

[andrew70]

Like they've done for last two/three semi finals at Hampden. This way ensures groups can be sat together and given the amount of tickets available, I hope this is the route they go down.

[Kaff]

The club have to make season tickets look valuable and by prioritising the sale of cup final tickets then there is more reason to keep purchasing STs. I don't mind Hampden but there is plenty who complain so I would think that giving ST holders first choice on the best seats then again adds value to the ST.
The two trips to Tynecastle and now Hampden have made this years season ticket seem a good purchase so hopefully it might boost the uptake for next season, along with promotion and a cup win of course!

[GreenCastle]

I really hope they make it easy for fans to buy in groups - this will be key to shifting a large allocation.

Would also be useful if the kick off time was announced ASAP!

[Hibernia&Alba]

Surely everyone who wants to attend will get a ticket. There's going to be at least 30,000 to go around. No need to worry about how they are dispersed.

[Scouse Hibee]

I hope ST holders can buy as many as they want,I will buy loads and sit on here watching the scramble,releasing them one by one to whoever sounds the most worthy. ;-)

[NAE NOOKIE]

The great thing about days like this is that it gives everybody the chance to see the potential of this club and not only that, the potential of Scottish football in general if we ever manage to get things right.

Turn outs for finals in recent years by fans of the 'less fashionable clubs' have shown that there is still an affection for our game and that folk identify with their local clubs, even if its a job getting them to turn out regularly.

The only final recently in either cup competition where the crowd didn't match or exceed expectation was the 2013 LC final crowd of 44,000. St Mirren sold 15,000 tickets which means if you take out a couple of thousand for corporate etc the Yams only sold circa 27,000 tickets .... a poor show from a club with 400,000 fans ..... especially for a trophy they haven't won in 50 odd years :greengrin

Aye, Edinburgh's wee team struggled: couldn't give them away.

[NorthHibees]

Surely everyone who calls themselves a Hibs supporter will get a ticket for this one should be plenty to go around.

Got a wife, grandkid & his mammy who come to half the games at ER but aren't ST holders & a mate coming up from Manchester (catches half a dozen games a season). It would be
obviously good if we could all sit together, guess we have to wait for the alloction. And the kick-off time.
GG

[lucky]

I will be looking for extra tickets for friends and family who only go occasionally. But the reality is that there will be plenty to go round. I only hope that Hibs win and a lot of these lapsed or occasional fans come more often.

[gav71]

It was at least 30,000.

38,000 is going through my mind?

You not thinking about when we beat dunfermline?

[Alfred E Newman]

I think it's only fair that the last group that tickets are made available to are those who are not going back till Petrie is oot. :greengrin

There were 30k of us there against the Pars.

"Only take what they need" - why would anyone need more than 1 ticket? In case they fancy a change of seat at HT?

[Pete]

Never mind all this nonsense. Are we getting the East or West?

They will be the first on the phone scranning for one!!

[hibeeleicester]

Really hope the club do something for us Overseas fans!

I pay for Hibs TV every month, i know its not quite the same as a season ticket, but a final ticket would be nice!

[EH54]

I'm sure you will be fine for a ticket Mate,

If ST Holders can buy a few or even if they cant when it goes to General sale there will be many on here who would happily use there Ref to buy you a ticket.. me being one of them GGTTH

Both. :greengrin

Or at least a chance to get one. :agree:

[Ronster117]

There will be plenty to round our regular support, our irregular support, overseas fans who make the considerable effort to attend, day trippers, relatives of day trippers, and ****wits who want to get pissed, cause trouble and upset women and children. Have I missed anyone?
I think you got everyone covered....:agree:

[Ronster117]

It's my 50th birthday weekend..... Coming to Edinburgh to party


:flag:Hope I can get 3 tickets

[bubblesmorrison]

How many did we take to Hampden when we played Killie?

According to Bennji there was 60 thousand hibs fans that day

[truehibernian]

Och well, scores a winner v Hearts and a double in a cup final - I'm sure us Hibs fans can forgive Benji for a slight misjudgement regards attendance - after all bubbles, Hearts misjudge their attendances every weekend don't they ?

[gav71]

What I don't understand though truehibernian is the fact that they claim to play to sell out crowds every week yet there highest attendance at the time was the league cup semi final not sure if the Scottish cup game had a larger attendance or not? but I know we sold all of ours so if that wasn't a sell out only one set of fans to blame for that GGTTH HTID

Because there was no segregation in the St Johnstone end, whereas there is when hearts play.

Agree with were your coming from but hearts would have had Cat A games against Celtic for example who would have easily sold out there tickets you would think and they had the Scottish cup game where we sold out our tickets so still a bit baffled as to how they have managed to see it as being sold out for every home game?@confused.com haha GGTTH HTID

There games against Celtic still had segregation. We are starting to become worse than them for obsessing over attendances. Get over it, they had more fans turn up every week than us last season. We took many thousands to important games, getting behind the club, and ultimately helping win the Scottish Cup. It's about time we started worrying about home and if/when we start selling out every week we can start laughing at others.
