Semi Final draw - Hearts v Hibs

[Ringothedog]

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.

We sold nearly 20k tickets for the final. The nearer this game gets the more the hype kicks in which will sell more tickets. I think we will have around 18k at the semi final

[B.H.F.C]

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, o don’t get it

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

Totally agree. Think everyone needs to do what they can to encourage anyone who isn’t going to change their mind. Ultimately, what the team does in the next fortnight is going to do that more than anything but I just think this is such a big game that everything that has happened this season needs forgotten about. We need to pull together, turn up, back then and just show a bit of defiance.

Biggest game in a long time that can have a huge impact on what happens going forward be it selling season tickets, the future of the manager or something that is almost getting forgotten about, giving us a chance to win the Scottish Cup again.

[Leith Green]

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.


How many buses was there going at its peak? I seem to recall quite a few buses going to a couple of finals ..

Seven I think for the league cup final against Killie.

[Leith Green]

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.


No need to apologise, you guys seem to have done an excellent job in providing this service in previous hampden occasions.. Running buses to matches is a complete ball ache and usually takes up so much time logistically..

[Leith Green]

Unbelievable effort.. Cant be many supporters groups from any team who have ran anything similar on such a large scale..

If we can at least sell out our lower tier allocation then would be a really good support and look good too. Better that than selling top tier out and having large gaps between our support in lower areas .. think selling bottom tier out would be about 20k

[007]

If we don't take a big crowd to the semi and we get to the final then the SFA will no doubt shaft us and give us a reduced allocation for the final, same as the LC final. I wonder if the club would give those attending the semi, priority for the final.

Im beginning to think that we are done for already when it comes to allocation versus old firm in cup finals. The precedent was set in league cup final last year. I can see it both ways to be honest , we had taken some poor semi final supports in recent league cup semis , hard to disagree with their logic. Although
part of me still feels a final should be even split regardless obviously only if you can sell the tickets. As it turned out , doncaster was proven to be correct as we just about sold the 20k we eventually received

As much as I objected to us getting less tickets than Celtic for the League Cup final, if we can't sell our full allocation for this match and we end up winning I don't think we can complain if Celtic/Rangers get more tickets than us for the final.

We’ve seen the last of 50/50 splits for Cup Finals against the Old Firm I suspect.

[HH81]

Sounds like a few have been sold. Good news but save me one 😁.

[HH81]

Correct. As we accepted tickets last time then it will now be the norm, a reduced allocation.

[Broken Gnome]

Correct. As we accepted tickets last time then it will now be the norm, a reduced allocation.

I can see there being a split in how they allocate League Cup final and Scottish Cup final tickets. LC is typically worse attended, at the semi final stage at least, so we'd get 18-20k but be given at least the chance of 50/50 in the Scottish Cup.

I would 100% support this.

Also, as one of the few that went to the semis at Hampden vs Rangers (riordan team) and rangers (Boyle hat trick) I can't understand why anyone would risk missing those moments

You only have ST refs so how do you prove who got them? If we are talking about public sale they would all have to join the database before purchasing.

As you say the bottom line is what happens on the park. If we return after the international break like a transformed team and get a couple of good results then ticket sales will pick up accordingly.

The likely reality though is that the flat vibe will continue and (particularly if we get well beaten at Tynecastle) a lot of fans simply won't bother. In those circumstances I think we'll probably sell around 13k. Sure, it won't look good but it's understandable that many won't fancy it.

Those are two very good examples that stand out in a list of semi final and final catastrophes though. I wouldn’t have missed any of them but we’ve had some sickeners. (He said stating the obvious).

League Cup ticketing issues were squarely due to Doncaster and the SPFL.

Its entirely different for the Scottish Cup and the SFA, they wont arbitrarily make the same decision.

Even when you have smaller clubs in the final, the starting point will be that both teams are asked what they think they can sell, and then they sell in sections which then allows for returns (also means the crappiest tickets are sold first if you are a St Johnstone, for example).

Ultimately that could still mean that a larger team has more of the North Stand (per our League Cup Final v Celtic) but its not the starting point which was Kensalls issue with Doncaster.

Hibs and Hearts will take 50% of the available tickets - iirc Hearts got 50% of the tickets v Celtic in 2019?

Unfortunately, a lot of club and sponsor tickets will also end up in the hands of one of the Glasgow clubs, and the other issue that you cant get away from is the debenture seats in the main stand, hence whichever of the glasgow teams wins they automatically start with more tickets.

[Ringothedog]

A quick look and we have tickets available

North stand- 150 with one section to open
East stand - 1100 with nine sections still to open
South stand - 250 . No idea what’s still to be opened

Personally don't think in anyway it is understandable economic concerns aside. If you genuinely call yourself a Hibs fan and choose not to go to a Scottish semi against Hearts I think you need to be checking the definition of supporter imo.

it’s not understandable at all. It’s a Scottish cup semi final with hearts.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

19,500 allocation, and a good few hundred unsold. Hope you are right, but dont think we'll get anywhere near that.

Yeah I seen that. Thanks for replying. Was sort of hoping for couple pints at a social club tho before game to ease the nerves

Do think there were different circumstances at that point. It was at a time when we were basically all getting told not to leave the house and loads of folk were choosing not to go for reasons that were nothing to do with football.

Not confident of a sell out for this but think we’ve made a reasonable enough start to sales and will end up somewhere between 18-20k I think.

The North Stand can only be split 50/50 or the way it was done in the Final against Celtic according to Doncaster.

We will wait and see how many travel through. And yes we did sell out or allocation for the final. Don’t believe everything you read in the daily Mail

[HFC93]

How many did we sell last time played them in a semi? 17 thousand?

Spot on. Genuine reasons aside, some of the excuses on here are pathetic. Too expensive...same price as a league game, too early KO...midday just 50 miles away, not playing well...its hibs. Fans will find excuses not to go, supporters will go no matter what. Its hertz in a scottish cup semi at hampden...only happened a few times in our entire history. Stop making excuses and get tae hampden and roar on yer team. Cmon the hibees.

[HH81]

Well I used accepted but could have also used forced.

I know Hibs tried to get 50/50 but think we would have been better saying unless it is then we'll take zero and kicked up a fuss that way.

Hearts & Aberdeen should have joined Hibs in protesting about the allocation, as ultimately they will suffer the fate of restricted allocations in the future now that the precedent has been set.

The Old Firm have obviously been putting a bit of pressure on behind the scenes to cut opposition allocations and ensure that more of their fans are present. The won’t be saying this publicly but we all know how it works.

[green day]

That's right. Hence my point that a St Johnstone etc will sell tickets from the main stand round behind the goals, and only if their take-up was good enough would they get the North.

In our or Hearts case, that would t happen.

Yeh, fair enough. I just don't know if there's a catch-all definition of a supporter and it's my expectation our turn-out will be relatively low due to the obvious reason that the current squad has not inspired confidence for a long while and many will simply be expecting us to get beat. Doesn't mean those not going for that reason won't be deighted to be proved wrong.

I won't be going - I'll watch it on tv. I now live in Leeds and for the last 20 years I've rarely gone to more that one game a season. I've always been a Hibs fan, ever since my dad started taking me in the early 1970s, and I'll always be a Hibs fan. But I've got several other hobbies - most of which, at this stage in my life, give me as much pleasure as I get from watching other people live their dream. And if Hibs get to the final then I will probably try and get a ticket - that doesn't make me a bad person or a non-supporter - that's just the kind of Hibs supporter that I am.

I get that other people go to every game and that Hibs is a big part of their life - that's great. But it's not for me any more.

Agree wholeheartedly. The 'what's your excuse? Call yourself a Hibs fan' chat washes over me these days whereas once I'd have agreed with it.

As you get older and (as you say) you prioritise other more fulfilling things, you realise that blind hope is no reason to feel obliged to shell out for an event that on paper is likely to end in disappointment. If the club wants more backing from the fans they need to significantly improve the product and give fans a belief that we have a fighting chance in pretty much every game - something that shouldn't be so difficult for a club our size.

'If the club wants more backing'?...its YOUR club. Managers,players,owners etc come and go. The only constant at any club is the fans. If you dont think weve got a fighting chance against that gorgie mob then maybe you should stay away.

They haven't beaten us this season. Why wouldn't we have a fighting chance?

Rangers 2004, Rangers 2016 & Rangers 2021 - our three biggest cup upsets at Hampden during the past 20 years all came on the back of poor form. People who pick and choose their Hampden trips based on how the team is performing in the league will have potentially missed 3 of our best trips there this century.

Spot on mate. Too many running scared of them

[NAE NOOKIE]

Wow ... just read all 27 pages :greengrin ... so here's some thoughts:

1) .... Anybody trying to defend a less than 50/50 split for the final, should we make it, needs a bloody shake. It's a neutral venue and that includes the division of support unless a club clearly cant sell half the tickets. If that isn't the approach by the SFA ( or SPFL for that matter ) then they are clearly handing an advantage to one team even when its avoidable and that's nonsense tantamount to cheating. Any fan defending the idea of anything less than a 50/50 split utterly baffles me.

2) Anybody not going because they think Hibs will lose shouldn't be calling themselves a Hibs supporter. FFS I've lost count of the number of semi finals and finals I've seen Hibs in and I doubt I was confident Hibs would win even a quarter of them .... This is a derby in a semi final and if you wont go along to support your team in that simply because you think they will lose then you have no business calling yourself a supporter. In fact you might as well take that 2016 cup final DVD you've watched umpteen times have a huge dump on it and wipe your sodding arse with your Hibs scarf.

No one really knows at this stage All guess work But according to a few posters on here a lot of so called hibs fans have already Sold Out
I have changed my holiday to Arran to be there as had Tom sit in The Kinloch Hotel on my own watching the our last Semi Final v Rangers First Hampden trip I have missed in 52 years
However I never got round to registering on the new Hibs Data Base as due to Health reasons I didn’t buy a season ticket this year
I have just noticed the Hibs site says to get a ticket for this game you need to be registered on the new data base for 12 months
Am going to get my son to Register me today and will go through very early when they they go on sale to the public to try and get one in person
If I can’t because of this 12 month rule I won’t me happy

No one really knows at this stage All guess work But according to a few posters on here a lot of so called hibs fans have already Sold Out
I have changed my holiday to Arran to be there as had Tom sit in The Kinloch Hotel on my own watching the our last Semi Final v Rangers First Hampden trip I have missed in 52 years
However I never got round to registering on the new Hibs Data Base as due to Health reasons I didn’t buy a season ticket this year
I have just noticed the Hibs site says to get a ticket for this game you need to be registered on the new data base for 12 months
Am going to get my son to Register me today and will go through very early when they they go on sale to the public to try and get one in person
If I can’t because of this 12 month rule I won’t me happy

Be payday for most this coming week ..Also , no real need foe anyone to rush out and get them , they have over a week left .. I think they maybe should have had general sale earlier..

I agree that they should have made the general sale date earlier

Can’t see it being as much as that. Allocation when it’s 50/50 is usually around 21k. Doesn’t look like we’ve sold half of what is available to me when you look at what is still to be opened behind the goals plus upstairs in the south, plus the unsold seats in the sections that are open.

Almost 3 weeks to the game, and you will get tickets absolutely no problem
Save you registering for the final😀

That would be a good effort all things considered. We've been in so many semis it's hard to remember specific games but when did we last take more than that? Aberdeen 2017 when we were holders?

[B.H.F.C]

That would be a good effort all things considered. We've been in so many semis I've lost count but when did we last take more than that? Aberdeen 2017 when we were holders?

It would be crap. Other semi finals aren’t comparable to one against this lot. If we run out to 5 or 6 thousand empty seats in the Hibs end, it’s not a good effort.

[MWHIBBIES]

Yep, 100%.

You actually shouldn't get a final ticket if you can't be arsed for a semi vs hearts.

[Since452]

It's probably the same amount we took against them in 2006 and we had an infinitely better team then.

Agreed. Its looking inevitable based on sales so far though.

4 points from the next 2 league games might change that a bit. 6 points def would.

[Libby Hibby]

I think this semi will be a relatively slow burner ticket wise and I can see it from both sides.

As it it gets nearer the date, our fans will turn up.

[gbhibby]

I don't care how many tickets we sell in comparison to them it means nothing in the big scheme of things. It's what happens on the park. If it suits their big club wee club narrative who cares. If we sell more tickets so what. Hearts fans always remind me of the guy who is 5 inches but claims he is 8 inches.

[Ringothedog]

We have sold about 9000 of the 11000 we have put on sale so far. I would guess at 3500 in the North stand, 3000 in the East stand and 2500 in the South. There are roughly 900 in the north, 830 in the East and about 220 in the South left.

[davhibby]

That would be a good effort all things considered. We've been in so many semis it's hard to remember specific games but when did we last take more than that? Aberdeen 2017 when we were holders?

We had that many for at least 1 of the recent Falkirk semis and had something around 18k for the Aberdeen one. Despite all the moaning on here there’s not a chance at all that we’ll only sell 15k. We might not manage the full allocation which would be disappointing but even with the lack of buzz I think we’ll at a minimum sell the full lower sections.

[Steven79]

All those people that are moaning that they can't be bothered going/price is too high etc etc are really needing a kick up the arse.

I would kill to be able to attend as I'm still trying to get the day off work but I have still purchased a ticket in the hope that I can make the game.

It's a semi final against Hearts and if that dosen't inspire you to get your backside over to Glagow I don't know what will.

"We might lose" yeah that could happen but if we win then I hope you all regret staying at home and get to the back of the queue for final tickets.

[SHODAN]

How many have they sold?

We'd sold about 15-16k for the LC final after a couple of days as a comparison.

If you are available and can afford it then I can't understand why you would choose not to go. Seeing Hibs at Hampden is what it's all about. The league cup semi is proof that anything can happen.

I wlll leave my laptop and a login for Premier Sports behind...

Not one of my lot that I book semi/final/Scotland matches for backed out and we should really be aiming to sell every single ticket as this isn't about if you love Shaun Maloney or wish we still had Jack Ross is about Hibs and getting a massive win over Hearts that we are along overdue at Hampden.

[JohnM1875]

Obviously relatively early on, but it'll be a wee bit embarrassing if we don't sell this out.

It's Heart's ffs! I've no idea why folk brick it when we're playing them. Couldn't be closer so far this year with two 0-0 draws and we should have really won it at the end at ER.

We've players coming back to fitness as well. A full house at Hampden for this should be a certainty!

Well for starters neither team has ever taken 25k fans each to a semi final. The only previous Hibs Hearts semi at Hampden with fans had less than 45k there. So there is nothing from previous history to suggest it will be a sell out. Then add in the game is at 12.15 thus ruining the fun for those who like a lengthy day trip and add on that the game is live on the BBC.

Just because you think it should be a sell out doesn't mean it will be - all the evidence points to it not being one.

12:15 is midday, it takes about an hour or so to get to Glasgow if you're leaving from Edinburgh, what semi final isn't on TV?

Okay fair enough maybe not a sell out. But if we only manage to shift 15k or so then that is disappointing.

While living in Bradford I used to get up at half 5 for a 12:15 kick off.

I'm going so you dont have to persuade me:greengrin

I'm just pointing out why it wont be close to a sell out. I agree thats dissapointing but nobody should be shocked when there are empty seats on the day.

I know the feeling - I'm the only one out of six from my ST group going although there are some mitigating circumstances there to be fair.

We are due a win there against them so no matter how poor we have been in an attacking sense generally I'm feeling quietly optimistic this time :thumbsup:

[blackpoolhibs]

Maybe it's just me, but i get folk dont have to be told how to spend their money, they will also think 12.15 is early, and of course they might not be able to get their favorite seat or sit beside their mates/family.

But FFS this is a semi final against those horrible *******s, i'd sell one of my kids for a ticket for this game, just grow a set of balls, get up early go to the bloody match irrespective of where you have to sit, and roar the team on to a victory and another cup final.

No excuses, no if's or buts, just get your arse along to the match, stop trying to convince yourself otherwise, you know you really want to go.

I agree, I'm missing out due to being on a flight home during the game, however I've always said if u go to a semi then u deserve a final ticket. We should be taking at least 17,000 to this one but our bus from Peebles is only taking 15-20, the rest pick ups on the way😥 that's only one example.

[He's here!]

It won't be a sell out from either side though so no real point in getting embarassed.

Hearts will sell out as they'll be very confident of winning. Nothing to do with them being better supporters as we've seen by their paltry ticket sales for ER when they've feared a doing (check out footage ftom the 6-2 game for the best example).

It's not about being able to get to the game in time, it's about not being able to get a few pre-match drinks in that dilutes the experience for many. Starting to knock back a carry-out circa 8am isn't the same as meeting up with your mates in the pub few hours before a 3pm kick-off. Arriving sober for a midday kick-off, especially a derby? Hideous.

No we used to book into a Glasgow hotel near Hampden the night before an early KO. A few beers the night before and a couple in the hotel bar in the morning would set you up nicely. That kind of faded away as kids/family life became more pressing for most.

There's a brilliance to the pre-match drinking vibe as nothing has been soured by the football and even if you end up losing the game you've at least made part of your weekend enjoyable. Driving through for an early KO is a terribly poor substitute and if I'm being honest when you sit through some games sober you realise how overrated football often is :-)

[Leith Green]

You cant put into words the importance of victory in this match. Lose it and the negativity around the club will be unbearable , feelings similar to pre dempster/stubbs days. Win it and the euphoria and feel good factor around the place will unreal , similar to when we won the cup in 2016 , if we win it will really move the club forwards and galvanise the club and support. Also throw in the damage defeat would cause that lot. You couldn’t get a more important game at such a crucial time.

Quite simply, we have got to win this 🇳🇬

I am not sure it would set us back as much as you say, likewise the bounce we had from the cup in 2016 is difficult to see replicated, ever. Truly monumental.

With a full pay weekend of tickets sales passed I can't help but think they've been very slow. You'd think most season ticket holders who are going will have bought theirs, although granted a few will hold off until general sales so they can sit with family and pals. 8000-9000 sold at a quick glance, be lucky to have 15,000 IMO (unless we skelp Utd and Hertz somehow)


Anyone in the know with Scotrail, any word on trains yet? Don't fancy it unless there's dedicated football specials on to deal with the capacity issues and the fact all it takes is one group of fans celebrating coming home, the opposite team taking offence and throw in hampden fans and young teams with class a drugs and booze and who know's what they'll potentially be like....

For me that’s the attitude that sets us back. It would set us back and is an absolute must win. “Unlikely to win the cup anyway” - we’ve beaten rangers at Hampden already this season and ran Celtic very close

Don't fancy it unless there's dedicated football specials on to deal with the capacity issues and the fact all it takes is one group of fans celebrating coming home, the opposite team taking offence and throw in hampden fans and young teams with class a drugs and booze and who know's what they'll potentially be like....

No chance of football specials, trains & Glasgow city centre pubs were all mixed prior to last 2 Hampden derbies with no major issues. Post-match whoever loses will be first away & you'll barely see each other, wouldn't have any concerns about travel on the train.

Here lies the problem with some of the Hibs support. No Hibs fan should really need to be sat down and convinced to go to a Hibs v Hearts Scottish Cup Semi Final. It was that kind of attitude that had us beat straight away in 2006

30k plus hibs fans at those games. So no, it doesn't apply. The livvy game we were pish and the County game we were sucker punched in the last minute.

You don't think that when the players came out the tunnel at Hampden in 2006 and seen that we had come dressed as a St Andrews cross behind the goals because we couldn't be bothered turning up, that didn't have an impact on the players moral or confidence? It 100% did.

I think that was more to do with the fact that the fans that were there sang pretty much non-stop for 90 minutes, rather than the actual number that turned up. I get both points though - obviously it looks better for the players coming out to see a full end but as long as those there on the day get behind the team then that’s the main thing

When my Dad and I turned up in 2006 and saw massive gaps in our end and theirs full, it felt like we were already beaten.

Tbh the crowd didn't help but we were beaten as soon as the team was released an hour or so before kick off.

We could have had 100K in the stadium that day but missing Riordan, Killen, Brown, Stewart etc and selling O'Connor so close to the game was what really done for us. Thinking back I'm sure our form from late November onwards was ***** that season. I think we won about 5 league games between January and May.

[Green-Hibee-7]

So many people on this thread desperate to let people know they aren’t going.

If you can go good. Thread should be used positively to try and spread a bit momentum towards sales.

Not usually one to get myself worked up about attendances etc, but being hugely outnumbered by Hearts is not a good look and on this occasion has got me going a bit.

Different scenario for me.

For a semi final, in Glasgow, against Celtic or Rangers, we’ll always be out numbered. We all know that and everyone at the club will know that.

For a game against our biggest rivals we need to match them off the pitch. There’s no reason not to other than a lot of folk having the fear about it. If there is any noticeable difference when the players come out and look right or left then I think it could impact and give the impression it means a bit more to them.

I don’t think it’s comparable. As it stands, how many are we really going to be missing? And we’re not up against a team that are paying players tens of thousands a week, including players that won the European Championships less than two years before, this time.

Exactly. The players won't care one jot if Hearts have more fans there than us. We've shat the bed numerous times when we've outnumbered the opposition fans and won when we've had a fraction of theirs. It makes little difference if the players attitude and game plan is right.

Don’t disagree. But we’ve seen it happen before.

It’s not so much about them turning up with a poor attitude (this lot aren’t very good but I think the attitude is generally fine) but a full end rather than a bunch of empty seats might just give them that push or encouragement to give that bit extra.

While I'll agree the window for ST holders feels longer that it needed to be, anyone with a sales history who is interested will likely get a ticket. Given the majority who attend are ST holders, surely the ticket office need more time to deal with their sales and organise the post or the collections. Non ST holders will be aware of the window and plan accordingly.

Jeezo, it's still nearly three weeks until the game, far too soon for folk to be getting their knickers in a twist about ticket sales. Correct me if I'm wrong but going by the ticket site are £35 tickets for the north and south stands not selling extremely well? That tells me that the pricing isn't going to be a massive problem.

Practically everybody and their dug gets paid monthly these days so no doubt after Thursday things could well pick up and the general sale is still to happen as well. Don't get me wrong, a cheeky wee win on Saturday and a win or even a draw at the pink bus shelter the week after won't hurt things for sure. But that notwithstanding I can't see any reason to be panicking just yet.

No, it will be embarrassing if Hearts take a 'lot' more than us. Everything surrounding this game is in their favour, they are having a decent season whereas Hibs are struggling to score goals and win games. Our record against them at Hampden is poor ( well, appalling actually ) and like it or not they have a slightly bigger support than we do to begin with.

On that basis if the game doesn't sell out, which is likely even at the best of times, but especially with a stupid kick off time and it being live on council telly, I doubt if anybody is going to burst into tears about it if for example they have 21,000 and we have 18,000 ..... If that turns into 23,000 versus 15,000 then yes it will be bloody annoying, but if that's the case pal then you sing your wee heart out for the 90 or 120 minutes to compensate for it :aok:

I've been following the Hibs for over 40 years mate and if I've learned anything in that time it's that more fans rarely means better fans.

They will be extremely confident so I'd expect them to sell a large amount. Maybe won't sell out but won't be far off. I've seen them take some **** numbers to Hampden too. Think they sold around 12k tickets for the 2012 semi. Like you say it's us so it'll be different.

I really don’t get the angst over the fact they might have more than us there.

the obsession with crowds is just plain weird. Like a massive dick measuring contest. And that’s just hearts all over. You’re also correct in the fact they do have more fans than us full stop. Not masses more, but more. And I’m perfectly ok with that.

that said, if finances/health etc allow… I don’t know why any Hibs fan wouldn’t want to be there at hampden for this

For me its more a potential measurement of the apathy that's set in with a section of the Hibs support. Our season ticket sales have been on decline every season since they peaked in 2017 I think. If season ticket holders and to a much lesser extent some walk-ups, can't be bothered attending a semi final against Hearts, you can only assume renewing their season tickets or walking up every week won't be on their list of priorities should we get beat and have a poor end to the season. Maybe that's me looking a wee bit to much into it however...

I think youre right here. Season sales have been falling. If we lose this semi and at tynecastle and possibly end up bottom 6 this will have a huge effect on STs. Win these 2 games and the opposite could happen. Many fans i know are borderline about renewing next year and these 2 results will go a long way in making their decision.

I mean fair play to the jambos, theyve not played all that well v Saints and v Livi but found a way to win, but the game changer moments often involved Beningame

I got stung for this at the cup final, I really like an aisle seat as I’ve got long legs and a ***** bladder. Didn’t want to wait though so just got any seat I could, about 20 minutes later they opened the next section and could have got the tickets I was after.

FWIW I’ll now depart this thread and leave everyone else to it. Couldn’t give a monkeys how many tickets we sell or how that compares to Hearts. I just hope all Hibs fans attending thoroughly enjoy their day out, hopefully the ones that aren’t going for whatever reason also have a bloody brilliant day watching it on the tele.

H1 and H2 now on sale in South Upper, right in the corner

Hearts sold 7k in first hour of sales. To be fair that’s good going.

There is a big queue at their ticket office aswell for cup tickets

Who cares, this thread is tragic.

All that matters is that the team do the business for once and put that lot away, won’t matter if there are 25k of us there or 100.

Any rough idea what we’ve managed to shift so far? Got our two this morning.

Purely a guess from looking at the map, I’d say about 10k.

So what! Does not bother me the numbers of tickets they sell.

I see the general sale has been brought forward to 5.30 tomorrow. Wonder if that means all remaining sections in the East will be available from then.

It wasn’t a criticism or a dig. Just a comment.

We have sold over10k and I would suspect we will sell all tickets before March day. I can see lots of people buying for groups of families and friends once public sale goes up.

Their sales are going to exceed ours by the end of the day.

Just seen that now. Glad they have brought it forward to be honest.
