Forfar tickets

[Glory Lurker]

I'm assuming I'll have stopped hating Hibs by the time the Cup comes around and will want to go to this.

Does anyone know when tickets are likely to go on sale?

Probably a week or two but theres no real rush and we'll get about 3000 tickets (most will be standing tickets), so plenty to go round.

[Franck Le God]

Anyone heard of a bus for this game?

I find it really odd that Adults are cheaper in the terracing, but u-16s are more expensive in the terracing.

Thats my fault. Post edited. They're £10 across the board.:aok:

You must have been quick HC, I can't get any seated tickets and they've only been on sale for 2 hours.

Nah, I went for terracing, the main stand is a bit of a shambles there. Poor view.

£28 for me and the wee man isn't too bad tbh.

£30 for me and the old man is great value too although the £2.50 postage is a rip off.

[oneone73]

Does anyone know how many we're getting?

[stuart-farquhar]

Any buses going that might have seats available?

[LewysGot2]

Tickets got. The stand only had single seats left by just after 11am.

Will be 2000 - 2500 tickets, most of those are terracing.

Standing spaces will be lost as segregation will need be in place, it never usually is for Forfar's league matches.

[StevieT]

I might just nip along the road to Forfar and buy one there as I doubt we will have enough to go around.

Capacity of about 6.7k - and google suggests their average attendance for the last few years is circa 500, I think we'll get plenty to satisfy demand to be honest, at least 4k I'd imagine.

Rip off 😂 it’s £1.25 for a first class stamp then add on the cost of the envelope and the printing of the postage label. Add on the TO staffs time so £2.50 is decent.

Dundee for better transport links to Forfar. Both Arbroath and Montrose are only small towns with few buses and taxis.

Confirmed that 3000 were given to us, take it as granted that 500 of those are already gone to Hibs First Members so that leaves 2500 terrace tickets left as the seats are sold out. Won't be a scramble like Tynecastle on Friday but I wouldn't hang about in getting them either.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

You can get a group day ticket for upto 5 people for £27.50 on the Stagecoach website to get from Dundee to Forfar and back, no.20 or 21 IIRC.

[Glory Lurker]

Wonder if it is one ticket per ST holder.

[StevieT]

Bus from Dundee to Forfar and then a ten minute walk to the ground. Plenty pubs en route to the ground. I wouldn't try and get to Forfar from Arbroath as the service isn't that good and the train will be more expensive

Don't know how I missed that! 🤔

3 of us going and 1 of us is an OAP so, individual day tickets for the other 2.

Tab is there but saying no tickets available. :confused:

[SunshineOnLeith]

I'm in but no tickets showing as available, anyone else?

Edit: see I'm not alone, sort it out Petrie! *Shakeyfist*

[hibby rae]

I'm being told the tickets are being held for me but there is nothing in my basket and I didn't select the price option.

Sorted. In and out easily.

7.50 for 4 tickets in the post though!

I got in and got my tickets no bother. No queue and they appeared bang on noon.

[hibstag]

Got two assigned and paid no problems used phone as its easier and quicker for authorising payment on Banking app.

Got there eventually on my phone after getting the 'no tickets' stuff on the laptop.

Keep trying. Sometimes some fall out of baskets after 20 mins or so

[hibby rae]

That was a ball ache, the site wouldn't work on my laptop but could do it on the browser on my phone.

Literally never been an issue before e.g for Luzern tickets.

Likewise. Was trying to buy for someone in my ticket network who couldn’t get online at noon. Wouldn’t let me put a ticket in my basket on my phone. Worked on a tablet.

[Hiber-nation]

Forgot it was 12.00 they went on sale, logged in at 11.55 and got mine no probs.

This sounds like an issue Hibs should be taking up with Ticketmaster then, we'll be paying them a fair amount to use their platform.

[Glory Lurker]

Having started thread it was only fair I got one and I had no bother doing it.

[snedzuk]

Just got 2 online - no issues

[jakeshibs]

Got my two no problems

[Green Man]

That was tense, forgot they went on sale at 12 and logged on at half past - able to get 2 tickets but my transaction wouldn’t go through after repeated attempts. Eventually managed to buy them with my credit card instead of my debit card.

Flix bus is still cheap for a return to Dundee, then Stagecoach bus from there.

If it was Brechin instead of Forfar I'm sure Flix would've ran a direct service, one for those of a certain vintage! 😀

We want a dry day as it's predominately uncovered terracing behind the goals. Normally you can walk right round the ground but segregation will be in force for this game. There is a small covered terrace at the side but this will likely be split in half for the segregation.

Wherever we are put its a brilliant wee ground, one of my favourites. There is much more covered terracing than you seem to think. Try and look on the bright side occasionally. :greengrin

I'm delighted we are getting to go to an old school ground instead of the usual soulless all seated rubbish. Having been before I know its a decent wee ground and I'm looking forward to it.

Was really wanting Montrose away as thats one of the grounds I need to get to complete the league grounds in Scotland.

Was at Montrose in the early 90s, I think. We played them in the Scottish Cup. I remember we won,but not much else. Much drink was taken.
Edit: Just checked, it was Jan 1995. We won 2-0.

I was at that game as well and it was memories of that day out which prompted me to get a ticket for this one. I think Darren Jackson scored one and maybe pat mcginlay but will need to go check.

It was mcginlay and Jackson. I even found clips of the goals. The first could have been an own goal as it hit the post and went in off the keeper.

I’’ve only been to Montrose once for a pre-season friendly under Yogi. Stephen Tweed was their manager at the time. I think Boyle played for them that night as well.

It's live here: https://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/article/ticket-info-forfar-a

And the team will appreciate the live backing

Yeah, very helpful to overseas supporters. Can't really see me travelling from sunny Spain for a dreich afternoon in Forfar somehow. I do subscribe to HTV, but there's no info on whether or not they'll be showing

[JasonC1875]

Anyone got a specific pub in mind up there? We’ve been recommended the Osnaburg, 15 minute walk to the ground.

[Hermit Crab]

Going to the game and plan on taking train.

What’s the best way to get to Forfar via train , etc?

Thanks!


Dundee then a bus or taxi. I think its the number 20 bus you get to Forfar.

[Garymcl]

The Osnaburg is where our group is going should be there for a bit of lunch and a few beers wee sing song hopefully 🍺🇳🇬🎵

Any tips for parking?

Any tips for parking?

Supporter Information ahead of the game will come out shortly.

Hibs fans coming in cars can use the East Greens Car Park, DD8 2EL or the Market Muir Car Park which is just before the Cattle Mart.

Our supporters coaches will be provided free parking in the old Cattle Mart next to the west terracing at the ground.

Given we get 50% of gate receipts ( after expenses ) in cup ties and Forfar is one of very few towns with a club in the league without a railway station ( what are others ? Annan ? ) I`m surprised club hasn`t laid on buses for this game . I`m not meaning an expensive hospitality thing ( I presume marketing dept of club looked at that ) but a bus from ER to Forfar , maybe picking up in Fife , at a reasonable price . Not as competition to supporters club buses which are probably full ( club could publicise SC buses too ) . Understandably , emphasis is always on season ticket holders when selling tickets , but we still take big supports for away cup ties as fans enjoy a good day out and these games attract a lot of our fans who would otherwise become even more disconnected from our club .

Annan has a railway station.

Peterhead doesn’t have a railway station and is also the furthest league football ground in Britain from a railway station

brechin doesn’t have one (not a league club now though)

kelty is another place without a station, as is Cove Rangers.

east fife doesn’t have a station either but that’s changing from may when the Levenmouth branch opens

Eskbank Station a 30 min walk or 6 min drive away, that surely counts:greengrin

Any tips for parking?

Always signal so other drivers are aware, and use your rear view and side mirrors.

Just phoned up to book a table for food and drinks, their kitchen has been shut for a couple of months so no grub available. Just in case that matters for you..

We’ve booked a table in the Queens Hotel just along the road

You will be able to get food at The Stag which is closer to the ground and next to the recommended car parking.

Not many spaces in the Market Muir Car Park so would recommend East Greens Car Park. It's also closer to the town centre for pubs and food.

Venison

I wouldn't touch the venison.

It's awfy dear.

[Mainstandman]

Anyone know the food offering in the ground. proper Forfar bridies for instance?

[StevieT]

There are two bakers of Forfar bridies in Forfar, Mclarens and Saddlers. Mclarens are by far the better of the two IMO and Forfar use these for the corporate offering. I believe that Saddlers have taken over the running of the kiosks and they are not so good. I think there are only two kiosks in the ground so that will be one at each end so expect large queues. On normal match days I think there us normally only one open.

The Bridies are superb. The tastiest stadium pastry in the country for me.

[EGL2000]

Tickets selling very quick according to the socials. Will sell out soon I'd imagine. Does anyone know our away allocation 3.5k ISH ?

Any idea if McLaren’s do them hot in the actual bakery?

I would count that. :agree:

3000 with the majority being standing, assuming the changing weather forecast has had a positive impact. Not to be as cold as first predicted thankfully.

[StevieT]

McLarens have two shops. The one at The Cross, inches town centre, has a hot cabinet, I think to keep them warm. The shop next to the ground us the bakery and you only get them hot when fresh out of the oven so it's all about timing.

[StevieT]

Due to segregation, I think we will only have access to one food kiosk so would suggest not waiting until half time.

[Pagan Hibernia]

If we take 3000 up there that would be absolutely fantastic

Despite all the negativity floating around, there is still plenty appetite to watch Hibs. Novelty of this type of game always helps as well.

[Carheenlea]

With it being advised that no PPV is available, the remaining tickets shouldn’t last long.

It’s a hugely attractive Scottish Cup day out for the fans - really looking forward to it.

Yep. You won't get this game on tv, even with a dodgy stick.

I would be going anyway but Forfar is one of the last grounds in the top 4 leagues I still need to tick off!

Aye I don’t think I have many to go after this one. Was reading the other day that this is the first time we’ve played them up there (with fans in) since 1972. Obviously had the game up there during Covid.

Dundee Utd used to play their reserve games at Station Park, so been a few times to see Hibs reserves/Development team play

Pretty sure I’ll have 6 to go after Saturday. Even though it keeps changing with League 2 relegation

[Eyrie]

I'm staggered by the puns.

[LaMotta]

Might be too late for most but I've got one spare u16 terracing ticket for Forfar game available for free to anyone who wants it.

I'm based in Edinburgh West End so could arrange pick up/drop off today/tomorrow. DM if interested.
