Just after the one for one of the family.

I'll be logged on my laptop, tablet, ipad and phone in a desperate attempt to secure said ticket.

May the best man (or woman of course) win.

Why are you queueing up? Surely a call or internet is a lot more sensible than standing for over 3 hours in the cold?

But the 1000 tickets are on sale 3 ways, through the website, phone or TO. There has been nothing put out by Hibs saying the TO has put any aside for any particular way of buying a ticket. So why queue up for 3 hours?

The last time I joined one of the big ticket office queues was probably around ten years ago. After around half an hour of waiting I realised how dumb it was, and phoned the ticket office while in the queue, bought tickets, then simply wandered up to the collection window.

I don't know the exact figure or percentage but there are only so many available to buy online or over the phone. They definitely keep the majority for walk ups,and for good reason.

I have none too find memories of spending a night in the famous five stand to get tickets for the Kilmarnock final, 2007.

It'll be a sair fecht. Good luck to those queuing.

Surely they just sell them as they go, once purchased the system reduces the balance avaiable.

They did that in the days before on-line sales but as mentioned before I'd have thought that whatever avenue a ticket is bought through it would just be one less to sell.

I was in Mexico when the Hearts (Tynecastle ) went on sale, I actually had two tickets in my basket but when I went to pay for them it came up "basket timed out" and by the time I got back in all the tickets had been sold. If I had been at home I would have went to ER around 6am and queued and would definitely have got a ticket. In all my years of queuing at ER I have always got a ticket.

Problem with that though is that you might get onto the sight just before 10 and the tickets wont be on sale so you'd need to start again.

For the online system the clock just seems to be getting longer and longer. Is that just because people are taking longer to complete purchases than was estimated?

Pretty sure you can use the PDF that's emailed to you as your ticket and just scan your smart phone at the turnstile.

Do you know nobody who works in an office and can print it for you?

FFS man, if you want to go then buy the ticket. You can spend the next day worrying about how to print it, or you can pick it up at the ticket office.

keep trying because some people will select seats and have them in basket and then choose other seats... the seats initially selected are off the grid for the 30 minutes....
Absolutely this. I think there will be tickets available for a couple of hours yet.

Massive opportunity for the players, management and club to win back a large chunk of the stay away support. A win in front of another sell-out derby crowd will hopefully go some way to ensuring a section of fans return to give their support every weekend.

I think the previous game was a league one and you inevitably get season ticket holders who can't make it or kids that don't get taken to derbys. We count folk that turn up as opposed to tickets sold.

I think the fact everyone had to consciously buy a ticket for this one it should be closer to full attendance.

The only people in that boat would be cup top up holders who don't go with nothing to lose.

on your phone - just click on the grey sections and it will tell you if available.



What a disaster. I work outside most of the time so cannot get to a PC easily. I was logged in on the iphone in the queue from 9.35. Got access at the back of 10 and for the next 30min I tried to select each block in grey which took me to a screen asking what tickets I required. 1 adult and 1 concession selected I would click ok and then receive an error message in red?!?? I was trying frantically for 30 minutes before my log in timed out- also tried phoning the ticket line on my work phone but had no luck getting through.... Until I eventually saw on here that the game had sold out.

Delighted it has sold out and the fans are coming back but at the aame time gutted I still don't know if it is something I was doing wrong or a glitch on iphone- ach well looks like I will be listening to it with my heart in my mooth like old times- mon the Cab

Sorry matey! I only know that because I've tried to do it on my phone before and it doesn't let you select seats, just gives you best available. I think there will be some others floating about for sale, keep your eyes peeled on here - FYI I managed to get my pal a ticket of a very kind guy on here an hour or so before the semi final so there's always hope - fingers crossed for you man!

Thanks buddy. I had to give my season ticket up recently so have never been in this situation before- very frustrating but lesson learned. Got another mad hibby joining me to listen to it on the radio so we will still be bouncing hopefully. Glory glory, enjoy the game
