Semi Final draw - Hearts v Hibs

[HH81]

Surely getting tickets on sale ASAP to stop issues with postage etc - this should be priority today.

[Iggy Pope]

The support always stand up. It's down to the players not the fans. Blaming the fans if Hearts beat us rediculous.

The last bit is amusing if delivered in the style of Sylvester the Cat.

[JOD]

Got my ticket yesterday pay bar/food hospitality open 2 hrs before ko. £130 I think worth it.

[Leith Green]

Would be good if the supporters who go infrequently show a bit of defiance for this semi final rather than throwing the towel in before a ball is kicked. Could do with some positive vibes going into this game , even though the team arent providing it right now.

Obviously it's down to the players and it won't be the fans fault if they lose, but the fans can play a massive part in helping them. It's been proved time and time again and surely we want to help the team beat Hearts?

The Hearts end will be full and most likely bouncing as they will be expecting to turn us over- that will give them an advantage if we don't match it.

[wookie70]

But it doesn't guarantee season ticket holders one of the best seats, if a non season ticket holder can get a better seat
Say 8000 or so season ticket holders get 1st dibs. We get 1/2 North, around 4,500 seats. South holds 17,000, although a bit is needed for capacity. All season tickets in best seats, job done
if 8,000 get offered a plus 1, 4000 or so season ticket holders may not get an option of a best season, a non can
Doesn't seem fair does it

If I was the club I would be doing everything they can to get benefits to season ticket holders and your suggestion is where I would start. The last final, albeit not the clubs fault, was ridiculous with those who decided to go later getting better seats. It should be easier this time and every season ticket holder should be able to sit side on to the game if that is their preference or go into the best of the binocular seats in the East to save them a few quid. If ST holders put sitting with their mates above sitting in the best seats then they will have a window to do that as this match won't sell out. I would have a first tranche of ST only, then a ST plus as many as they want to bring, then a general sale. That should give everything to everyone.

[Keith_M]

Tickets will be out this week?

With 20,000+ would straight to general sale be an idea? 😁


Actually, I was wondering if that might be the way to go as well.

I've got a season ticket but would have no worries that I might miss out if they made it an open sale.

[nickwhibs]

Can’t wait for this game. Mon the Hibees

[hibeedonald]

Watching their injury list closely and hoping for more in the next few weeks - injuries could be the deciding factor.

Baningime looks like he took a bad one and after Gordon is their best player IMO. Souttar is probably their 3rd best player in my eyes and he's also currently injured but is on track to make it back.

Devlin is another solid player and it's unclear when he will be back.

On the other hand we have numerous injuries and could really do with no further issues before the Semi which given our current injury rate is a lot to hope for.

:agree:

‘Iwon’t be able to support our new manager regardless of who it is because he’s not Jack Ross’

‘Maloney should be sacked if he doesn’t beat Arbroath’

‘Maloney should be sacked if he doesn’t beat Ross County’

‘Only reason we didn’t lose to Motherwell is because they had 10 men’

Oh btw, all you guys are toxic :faf:

Any reason there’s no option for being unable to support our new manager because he’s not Neil Lennon.

Yeah the barcodes could easily be digital as do it for the Scotland games as well, I sent everyone that has a ticket for the Poland a screenshot of their barcode then printing them all off.

I'm working an extra shift this Sunday due to my wife having covid as work seems a better bet than potentially catching it from her so will push for it again on Monday but if not then my wife will be taking our son to the game instead...

The final is already signed off as a holiday...

Craig Thompson was this morning approached by the SFA to come out of retirement to referee the Hearts vs Hibs semi final

He gleefully accepted their invitation

John Beaton and Nick Walsh were named as his assistants

In a further developments the young Hibs striker Elias Hoff Melkersen has received a one match ban and will miss the semi final

The ban is for the retrospective red card he received from the SFA compliance officer for his goal celebrations during the quarter final against Motherwell

Not really

Then any lapsed or non season ticket holders who were fairly regular away game attendees
Then a free for all
Means day trippers can’t sit beside season ticket holders mates but as I’m not sure it will sell out a season ticket holder can take the chance and wait for general sale
First priority should always be to ensure ST holders get their ticket

The way the SFA and the SPFL deal with ticket distribution is shocking. Do theatres say we have to fill the stalls before you can buy a ticket for the best seats in the circle.

:agree:

2 per ST holder allows people to sit in their groups with their non ST holding mates whilst still leaving loads of tickets to go around. Only real error seems to be with the AST holders not getting the option of 2 without opting out of the scheme, rectifiable but a bit of an unnecessary oversight.

Discussions around tickets just bring out the worst in a lot of people. Last week the fear was we would be 'embarrassed' because we might not sell out, this time tomorrow it will be panic because people can't get the exact block, row and seat number they want.

[HH81]

To be fair I didn't mind it at the Rangers semi-final but wouldn't fancy it this time.

According to their website the South upper will be on sale to their fans when they start selling them on the 30th.

[Broken Gnome]

When did the South Upper become so prized it is almost make or break for people going?

Reckon we've only had Hibs fans in there about 10 or 11 times since it's been built, we've done without anytime there's been seats to spare in the lower sections.

It's because we are there so often that we feel we are entitled to the best seats in the house.😁

South upper is the best but not worth worrying about. South lower almost as good.

North stand is the best imo, further back the better, plus everyone stands.

Yeah the South Upper issue would be more of a problem if we didn’t have the North. There’s plenty very good seats available from the outset. It’ll be people who are in early for general sale that will most likely end up with the worst seats - the couple of sections right behind the goal.

[Pretty Boy]

No one gave a toss about their vantage point when we pumped Rangers recently at Hampden and I'd wager the same would be true if we beat Hearts. I'd prefer north or south but if I end up in the east, as I was v Rangers, then fine.

By the same token if Hearts turn us over no one is going to say 'oh well it wasn't too bad because I had a lovely panoramic view from my premium seat'.

I must just be really lucky because I keep hearing about how terrible it is to watch a game at Hampden from 99% of the stadium but I must end up in the other 1% most of the time, despite having sat in every stand at one time or another, because I never find it that bad. There are some areas that are preferable to others of course but for the most part I can see the game clearly and on rare occasions even enjoy it.

Agree it’s not as bad as is made out. Low down behind the goals isn’t great, but there are still plenty decent seats in the east.

Really hope we can sell this out. Like you, I’m not sure we will and I think it’s crap. Genuinely think it could have an impact and we’re toiling enough without giving them any type of advantage off the pitch.

Folk will mention that we only had 10k against Rangers but it’s totally different circumstances. That’s a game where we genuinely were huge underdogs. This is a semi final against our biggest rivals who, despite our struggles, couldn’t beat us just a few weeks ago. If our support can’t be bothered turning up that could filter down to the team. On the other side, if their support turn up that total belief they’ll have can filter through to them. Our support really need to turn up for this one, biggest game in a long time.

[Leith Green]

Facts


Firstly , do you honestly believe that the ticket prices are over priced? £35 the most expensive, £25 if ur a bit skint and decide to sit in that area. Modern day ticket prices we are talking about .. Semi final of biggest national cup competition and a derby as well .. I just dont see how anyone can say that its unreasonable pricing , and that unreasonable they are going because if it.


Secondly, its a 12:15 kick off in a city 40 miles away .. No issues with trains , buses or cars with those times getting you there and back ..

Some people just using them as an excuse for not going. These are occasions we should be together rallying behind the team , not looking for reasons not to bother going.

Its just pretty poor , if u have the money and can make the game any true Hibs supporter should be going to this. If that happens we sell our half of hampden no problems, Hopefully that does happen . If not the irony is that the fans who bother their ***** to go are the ones left listening to us getting ripped for having a “*****y support” for 90 minutes.

Haha do you actually worry if teams sing that?

The amount of fans turning up means nothing if the players turn up on the day and perform.

[kaimendhibs]

The pricing is ridiculous and times are hard. I have a ticket but completely understand if people cant prioritise a game of football. Its not that far away for me. Instead of worrying about how many we take, lets get behind the team.
Ps, I sure as many Hearts fans are in same boat

Football isn’t cheap but I don’t think the pricing is really ridiculous for this one.

Can get a ticket cheaper than most of our league games this season.

It's actually cheap IMO.

Some non league clubs in England almost charge £25.00 for a league game and you are being offered a cup semi final v Hearts for that.

I quite like my rivalries to be ones where nothing - or as little as possible - can get thrown at us.

They've lorded it over us three times at Hampden, twice with notoriously empty seats in our end at different points in the afternoon. Can we no just all - management, team, supporters - step up?

Honestly can't believe the amount of folk who seemingly wouldn't give a monkeys that a full Hearts end greets a 3/4 full Hibs end.

I cant get my head around that one either. To put it into perspective, a celtic fan i know thinks the pricing of semi finals is really good value .. £25 for a Scottish cup semifinal, with concessions on top of that is actually really fair in my opinion

[SteveHFC]

Really hope we can sell this out. Like you, I’m not sure we will and I think it’s crap. Genuinely think it could have an impact and we’re toiling enough without giving them any type of advantage off the pitch.

Folk will mention that we only had 10k against Rangers but it’s totally different circumstances. That’s a game where we genuinely were huge underdogs. This is a semi final against our biggest rivals who, despite our struggles, couldn’t beat us just a few weeks ago. If our support can’t be bothered turning up that could filter down to the team. On the other side, if their support turn up that total belief they’ll have can filter through to them. Our support really need to turn up for this one, biggest game in a long time.

Failure to sell this out means we can’t complain if the SFA gives us a small allocation again.

Have you seen the increased in fuel and utility prices. The rises in food costs. I have a ticket through AST scheme but have empathy for people who cant afford it. Even Hibs have hit out at pricing. Seems to me yourbvuews would be more appropriate in the Cannae Mans

Going with that logic , you would expect ticket prices to be more expensive than normal. All the logistics and overheads will be more expensive than normal and would surely drive costs up the way , not the other way around

[LaMotta]

North stand is the best imo, further back the better, plus everyone stands.

:agree:

South Stand upper the worst part of Hampden for me (apart from maybe lower seats behind both goals). Can't believe people think its the best place to be.

Like others have said it will be bad if they sell more but the chances are that will be the case the way both teams are playing. If we beat Utd and win at Tynie then ive no doubt that would see a lot of undecided buy a ticket.

Other thing is that Hearts method of allocating only one ticket per reference number may restrict their sales slightly - know a few jambos pissed off about that and talking about not going as a result.

£25 for a semi final is a decent price.

£25 for a semi final v hearts is a steal. Will probably be the cheapest priced Derby ticket all season.

25/20. Mind you I paid 33 for tynie in Romanov days. Sometimes nice to think of others tho. Bash on tho

[Leith Green]

I ll tell you right now , I certainly dont have money to waste.. I regularly take 3 kids with me , as i will for this game .. The day will be a drain on monthly budget , but im not bailing out of supporting my club in a massive game win lose or draw..

[Pretty Boy]

If people can't afford to go then no one should be decrying them for that. Tough times and whilst the prices aren't unreasonable for the magnitude of game, especially when compared to league games at ER this year, it will still price people out.

My issue is with the 'no one needs an excuse not to go to a game' brigade who then offer a litany of excuses as to why they aren't going, it really boils down to 'I'm **** scared we get beat' or 'I can't be arsed'.

Watching plooky Gordon the night just confirms again he’s a massive liability at crosses. He’s scared to come out for the ball and when he does he’s a bombscare. We’ve got to get into positions where we can exploit his weakness from crosses and corners. How we manage that is another question though.

We’ve got Nothing to fear, this game is very very winnable for us. Let’s do our bit turn up and sell out :thumbsup:

Bit about having nothing to fear is bang on. We might not be a good side but it’s a one off game against bloody Hearts. Hearts that have lost to the likes of Dundee recently.

[.Sean.]

Hearts fans could use the same excuses and reasons for not going but they’ll no doubt have a full end.

I can’t believe we’re even discussing potentially not selling out a Scottish cup semi final against Hearts, which is an hour, 90 minutes along the M8 for the majority and at a time no surprise to anyone.

As has been said fair enough if finances dictate you must prioritise other things but face it there are supporters no going out of choice or for fear of getting beat and the excuse of location and time (laughable, it’s no in Aberdeen at 6am) or it being too expensive is just a convenient excuse for those who canny be arsed (and again I completely understand that cost is a reason there will be people that can’t attend)

Agree with all of that although posts like this inevitably still get picked up and dissected as being critical of those who can't go due to finances even although you've specifically mentioned that in your post.

It will be really disappointing if we don't sell this out and Hearts do as you have to assume that financial constraints will pretty much affect both sets of fans in equal measures.

If we get a result at Tynecastle you can guarantee a lot of people will suddenly decide that getting from Edinburgh to Glasgow on a Saturday morning isn't akin to an Everest expedition.

I normally hate 'uber fan' threads but it's so disheartening to see a collective arse collapse happening weeks before the game. I've almost got a bit more respect for my mate who has admitted he's watching it in the boozer because he expects us to get beat and can't face that at Hampden again rather than the other couple who are making excuses which are frankly ridiculous. The latter 2 will be the 1st to complain when our allocation is cut for the final and they can't get tickets.

For me it's simple. It's Hibs v Hearts at Hampden, if you are a Hibs fan and you have the means, health and time to go then you should be there. The people making daft excuses know that too, the excuses are a way to assuage the guilt they feel deep down.

[SHODAN]

It'll be the same as usual, the moaners will be moaning at home watching it on the TV and outdoing each other with the "I'll no be back until" hyperbole while the rest of us will be there actually supporting the team and making excuses for the massive gaps in our end. Cheers everyone.

We rip into Hearts for their inflated attendances all the time but it's fact that a sizeable chunk of our support stop bothering at the first sign of trouble and don't come back until we win something, regardless of personal finances. They still care enough to slag off every decision we make on social media though.

[I'm Spartacus]

I've paid £156 for my ticket x 4, my dad's at an age where these Hampden games are running out so want to get there early and have room for a comfortable few pints and have some food, also want 4 seats together with my 2 sons.

I mean, I'm used to dull football and years of disappointment because I've been a Hibee for a very long time. But I still turn up at ER though i don't go to very many away games.

I don't like Hampden, the seating isn't steep enough so you're further away and don't get a good view. And if you're right at front, forget it. It's also a pain the get home afterwards.

But it's hibs-hearts in a cup semifinal, of course I'll be there.

I get the apathy. I can't really be ersed with this Hibs team either and being totally honest I expect we will lose.

I have an oven ready excuse not to go. I get married exactly 1 week after the game and my soon to be wife is concerned about any of the main players at the wedding contracting covid in that final week. She doesn't want me to go but we talked it out, I agreed to no bus, no pub and straight to the game and back. She relented because she knows I need to be there.

No one needs to delude themselves that we are a great team, no one even needs to believe we will win but it's about rallying round the cause when times are hard. It's easy to pitch up in the afterglow of a SC final win, it's the harder times that see us reduced to the hardcore.

Does anyone know if there's been any thought to providing donations to those who might struggle to attend, much like the league cup final? I'd happily contribute a couple tickets again.

Also blows my mind some folks planning of holidays etc. Do you not check / inform your partner that the semi and final dates are definite no go when it comes to considering weekends away or is that just my poor Mrs 😂

We might not always make it that far in the cup but I always keep those dates free in case we do, especially as we've been prolific Hampden attendees over the last 10 years or so.

[Paulie Walnuts]

The one thing I’m not looking forward to with this is the drive through there.

I went to Scotland V Denmark and it took nearly 3 hours to get through from Edinburgh. Keeping in mind the majority of the crowd weren’t travelling along the M8 that day it could be absolute carnage traffic wise.

Make sure you plan to leave very, very early.

Hoping the next week or so doesn’t descend into seat counting along with Hearts.

I have a feeling that we will just fall short of selling out completely, going by historical semi final turn outs. Obviously hope we do see a full house but ultimately not bothered either way. More interested in goals (Hibs) scored on the day rather than seats sold.

[Frazerbob]

I was talking to a couple of Hearts ST holders at the Scotland game last night, one of them a well known Hearts vlogger. They both think Hearts won’t sell out. Apparently their fans aren’t happy with the ticket distribution Hearts are using. Loyalty point threshold too high or something.

Neither club sold out in 2006, I expect the same this time. 40-45k I recon.

[MikeyS]

a mid week, evening kick off for a Scotland match is going to be way different to us lot travelling through on a Saturday morning. It'll take an hour at most.

I had to go in to Glasgow City centre a few weekends ago when Celtic were at home and it didnt impact the journey one bit.

Given hibs making a big deal about the prices and folk affording it , why they then adding an admin free onto it ? I know it’s only a few quid but still add’s up

It's the company Hibs use to sell the tickets.

[Hermit Crab]

South Stand for us. Happy with that.


Nice try. :greengrin

[Hermit Crab]

What's with the reserved seats in D1? Away seasons?


Never seen any reserved seats in D1? I got 4 rows from the back in that block. Happy with that.

Away seasons were allocated block I4 in the South Lower unless they opted out like I did.

[Hermit Crab]

Section D4 open now.

[flash]

Nice try. :greengrin

I had to edit my post as I read my mates text wrong.
Must admit I was surprised when I thought it was upper.

[Aim Here]

Took 2 minutes, easy. Shame they've not released all blocks at once, was hoping for behind the goals!

Behind the goals at Hampden? Be sure to invest in a pair of opera glasses so you can see the game - if you DO want to be able to see the game, that is.

At least you'll be as far away from any gloating Jambos as it's possible to be.

They will have **** all to gloat about unless you count their cardigans

Why they not releasing all the tickets ? It’s not like with the way they are being sold one team could get more than the other ?

It’s clear hibs and hearts will easily sell this out ?

I know but you can log in without a queue and the majority who were desperate to go will have probably bought a ticket. We will need a couple of good results to get a good crowd through there.

Maybe, just maybe, there's been IT improvements. Not everything needs to be a cause for bed wetting.

Row P D3 for me. Like how you can pick your actual seats.

Yes, it’s an excellent system and makes selecting seats a lot easier knowing exactly where you are going to be in the stadium.

A bit disappointed south upper wasn’t on sale but plenty availability of good seats in the lower sections.

[SHODAN]

I managed to get tickets right at the top in the middle. Only later I realised that's likely right next to a steward the entire game. Great.

Wear a hi-vis jacket to the game and you'll be able to do whatever you like.

[Mike Berry]

Managed to get close to the back in D1 happy with that. Now all I need is a hattrick from Melkerson.

The whole of the Hibs end as we are going to thrash them.

Does anyone know who to get in touch with at hampden re birthday wishes etc...?

Wee man's birthday is the 15th, so wanted to get something on the scoreboard for him.

[B.H.F.C]

Wouldn’t say it’s a mad rush but must have shifted a few in the space of a couple of hours.

No real urgency to get a ticket, pay day next week for a lot of folk as well. We’re going to need a positive result next week to boost things and the only way we sell out, IMO, is if we get a win at Tynecastle which will remind some folk that it’s relatively easy to get to Glasgow.

And some folk were worried they might not get a seat in the north or south…

[Libby Hibby]

Good uptake so far…keep it going Hibees

[Paulie Walnuts]

Surely be different a Saturday morning than a Monday evening kick off.

It was coming off the slip road to get into Glasgow that was the nightmare. Queues went miles back. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same again with 50,000 people all most likely coming off at the same couple of slip roads.

Regardless, it’s a minor issue :greengrin

Got to be at least 8k - 9k sold already looking at sales so far. Really impressive start to sales

[B.H.F.C]

Not near that IMO, by the time you account for all the sections unopened. Still think a reasonable amount away in the space of a few hours though.

[Keith_M]

I think we'll probably take roughly the same as we did the last time we met in the semi final, about 17-18,000.

I just hope everybody gets behind the team and supports them all the way.

I reckon your wrong .. Definitely 8k at least ..

[Leith Green]

About 2.5 in north , 3.5 in east 2.5 south

Looks about 7-7.5 K to me. No idea where it will end up. Two wins in the next two games and we could sell out. No wins and I think it will end up 13-15K

I reckon i undercooked the north stand .. Thats sold about 3.5k , similar in East , south stand kess than i first thought but still 1.5k.. Be over 8k for sure

Near the foot of the purchase details in your account history there's a "Resend email" button that you can click on - you'll then receive an email confirming your ticket purchase.

It worked for me:agree:

That would be really grim.

[JimBHibees]

That would be really grim.

Will definitely be more than that. Fans really need to step up for this and show the fighting spirit and pride they want the players on the pitch to show.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

That would be really grim.

It's realistic, we couldn't sell 19,000 tickets for a cup final a few months ago, albeit covid was a factor (but still is for some), I don't notice a clamour for tickets for this one from my mates that generally only turn up for the big games. 2 unused STs in our house, so potentially 4 tickets could have been purchased, but not one person has asked about a ticket on this occasion.

[gbhibby]

I am not bothered how many tickets we sell it is what it is. Its not about the quantity its the quality that counts. The semi against Rangers proved that.

[Mikey_1875]

My mate managed to secure some in D1 earlier so happy with that considering only single seats left now. Having a look at the map I thought we would have sold more by now but the reasons given earlier about payday etc are valid. Nearly two weeks to buy them as well so folk will not be in a rush unless fussy about seats.

Really hope we can get a big crowd. For me games like this are what being a football fan is all about.

[CorrieHibs]

Does anyone know of any buses with spare seats?

From a quick count he North is around 900 a section and the east and south around 750-800 per section. I don't think the corner section between the east and north was put on sale. I'll stick with my 7-7.5K but all that matters is what it is on the day. In some ways a 14-15K crowd with those that will support may actually be better than a sell out where half leave if we go a couple down.

They east stand sections hold just under 1k each section , until you hit the main stand side and a couple are much smaller .. Pretty sure the east holds 13k in total mate.. so that would be right enough. I agree completely that a vociferous and defiant support is what matters on the day. Im really looking forward to this derby , not got the usual worry about result or performance.. Just really up for this 😁

Whatever happened to the hibs.net hampden buses? I remember you guys taking multiple buses (possibly 6 or 7 ) not so long ago??

We have run them right up until the LC final this year.

Unfortunately it just wasn't possible, for various reasons, to get something sorted out for this one.

[.Sean.]

The fans really need to step up here IMO. How disheartening will it be if the players run out for kick off to a bouncing, full Hearts end, and there’s bunch after bunch of empty seats in the Hibs end. We seen what happened even way back in 2006, fearing the worst in the run up to it for a multitude of reasons and we were beaten as soon as they scored their first.

I usually could not give a ***** about attendances but here it’s important, it is imperative we sell as many as they do.

I’ll probably take pelters for this but we have so many supporters who are just not interested when we’re up against it. In saying that some of my favourite days following Hibs have came when thousands have shat the bed in fear of a pumping but the players and an up for it crowd showed up and produced - Rangers 2004 (followed by 5x that number who could then miraculously turn up for a supposed shoo in v Livi in the final), The Casper and Ross Caldwell derbies at Tynecastle when we selt half a stand, and the recent semi versus the huns. We took about 30000 to the Ross County final too, I don’t get it

Early sales are half encouraging but if you can afford it and family ties/ work allows it, buy a ticket.

[marinello59]

We had a perfect storm of personal circumstances kicking in for this one. We can only apologise and promise normal service will be resumed for the next Hampden appearance.
The amount of buses we run will reflect the demand.
