Scottish Cup Quarter Final Draw - Celtic v Hibs

[Since452]

Only 2667 tickets for a cup tie. Why so few, when we are entitled to at least treble that?

We'll get more tickets if we sell that out.

[Since90+2]

The whole restricted view thing is a nonsense. Maybe a small number but 1000 seats that don't actually have a clear view of the pitch?

Our allocation should be 3k odd excluding those seats and if they go then put the restricted view on sale.

We've essentially been given 1700 standard seats for a cup tie we are entitled to far more.

[Hibernia&Alba]

We'll get more tickets if we sell that out.

Thanks, I wasn’t aware that that is allowed. We should sell two-and-a-half I would think. It isn’t a lot for a quarter final.

[PatHead]

Thanks, I wasn’t aware that that is allowed. We should sell two-and-a-half I would think. It isn’t a lot for a quarter final.

The problem is that half those tickets are restricted view. with a great view of a pillar. Anyone who has been to the ground before knows that and won't touch the tickets with a bargepole. That means we won't sell out and they won't give us more tickets

It’s bad right up the back in our usual section. Quite a few that are restricted further down are all right and the restricted ones further round to where we normally get won’t be as bad I don’t think. It’s still pish but I don’t think it will prevent us from selling the allocation.

[gbhibby]

The wealthiest team in Scotland having a stadium with restricted views not only for away fans but also for home fans due to loads of pillars in the upper tiers of their stands🤔

[Springbank]

Well I’m planning to go and I’ve not been to Celtc Park since 2001.

I'm similar

I wouldn't miss this one for love or money - have a good feeling about our group of players this season under sdg

Last time I went was 1-1 the game after John Collins resigned, a Zemmama masterclass

[Broken Gnome]

It is a bit of a nonsense, but it doesn't necessarily need to be a Hibs bashing. We'll sell 2600, and IF we win whether folk can see the full pitch or not it won't matter a jot.

I’ve always found Parkhead a bit pot luck with the restricted view tickets.

There are a few shockers with the pillar, that there is no doubt, but many of my previous restricted view tickets have been better than the lower down non restricted view tickets and the restricted view is barely noticeable.

I think the key will be to buy from the areas as far to the right of the allocation as possible.

In the usual league allocation if you’re in the front rows of the restricted view seats you can see the full pitch bar a tiny part of the nearside far corner so you don’t really miss anything. That’s also about halfway up the stand so it’s a pretty good view. There are seats where you can’t see large chucks of the box, the goal or both so as you say it’s a bit of a lucky dip.

[Nailsea Hibby]

They used to regularly accommodate 7/8k Rangers fans in that corner.

They can do it if they wanted to.

Kieran Power now tweeting that the club are continuing to make a case for further tickets throughout the sales process, and there's a chance of more tickets if we sell out.

A chance isn't good enough.

The damage will be done now because of the measly initial allocation.

Hibs should have told them to **** off.


Find this thread really worrying if true, why are we making a case for more tickets ?. Does KP not know SFA rules state we are entitled up to 20% end of storey.

[SHODAN]

I'll be going. Been twice before to Parkhead, 2008 and 2019. Both 2-0 defeats.

[BS44]

Last time we played Celtic at their ground in the cup we drew 0-0; it was also a Sunday 3pm start and the game was live on tv which was unusual back then, 30 thousand at the game with about 2000 thousand good guys and gals at the match.

We lost the replay the following Tuesday 1-0.

[Largshibby]

Club need to reduce the Celtic allocation at ER further, if we only get 1700 decent tickets

Not this again. Have you seen the state of our finances?

[cubehindthegoal]

Been once to sevco ground and once to celtic, and decided neither are for me ever again … chuck in a trump rally, and that’d just make my day ! No thanks. All power to youse who go along to support Hibs there like. But vowed never to justify their crap in their houses ever again. Rotten to the core they are imho. But I know that’s my feeling, and as I say, back my fellow Hibees who go along to support us there, each to their own, and I’ll always acknowledge our amazing support away from home. None better.

My first trip to Parkhead.

[Hibernia&Alba]

My first trip to Parkhead.

it’s nothing like as hostile as Ibrox; I think we can guess why our friends in Govan are less than welcoming. The problem is being allocated one of the seats with a really bad view. It ruins it.

[cubehindthegoal]

In some ways I found parkhead worse. The continual “banter” with bigots that thought you were recruitable to their feelings about their “beliefs” … found it a bit more sickening in some ways … at ibrox, at least the hate was clear and present lol … the mix of love in and wind up banter from celtic was more barf in some ways. Anyway, won’t be back so won’t have to listen to it again. But for those who do, hope you get to enjoy a win at both!

Can’t say I’ve ever felt there was any kind of love in towards us at Parkhead. There’s always a jakey or two to have a laugh at though.

Been countless times, just reminiscing about my first visit there in 1988 with my father, the last time we played them there in the Scottish Cup.

It’s a love in compared to ibrox I noticed, but “love” is maybe wrong term, my bad. Anyway, I haven't missed either. And tbf, we did have a laugh at some, but it wasn’t enjoyable or fun, just a way to deal with them.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Ah, I see :aok:

[Pretty Boy]

I much prefer Ibrox to Celtic Park.

I'd only have the latter behind Pittodrie and Tannadice for crappest away section in the league. I'd score the other two far higher in terms of places to get a beer near the ground and the stewarding is nowhere near as overzealous either.

[The Spaceman]

This will be my first trip to Celtic Park. Has never, ever appealed to me previously, but this one does.

[Hibby70]

Be good if Hibs sell all these tickets. We then get allocated more, and Hibs somehow can move all those that have restricted view tickets to the new allocation and put the restricted view tickets back up for sale.

[GreenGray]

22 quid for a restricted view where you might not be able to see a whole goal. Mental.

You can kinda understand restricted view at concerts where you can still hear the music, but being able to see the goals is quite an important part of football (I appreciate there are plenty old school grounds with columns that block your view)

Almost all of the 'old school' grounds have very narrow pillars, not anywhere near the width of those two at Celtc Park.

If Celtc had any decency (yes, I know), they'd only put the restricted view seats on sale when every other seat is sold out.

Hibs should be making a massive fuss about this.

[zitelli62]

Your right we need the money why don't we give them 2 stands would guarantee a sell out and extra money.

[Hibby70]

Your right we need the money why don't we give them 2 stands would guarantee a sell out and extra money.

Give them the whole stand but spend £20m on a big huge pillar would be my choice.

[zitelli62]

Exactly they don't give a s*** about anyone else we have billionaire shareholders who could take the hit and only give them 1000 max tickets for Easter Road.

[Pescarese]

Potentially, but none of us no the wording or actual rules. If we don't sell out our initial allocation, regardless of restricted view tickets or not, then we may not have a leg to stand on when it comes to demanding more.

The rules are published online. Hibs have to say what they want upfront, and that can be up to 20% of the ground's capacity, but they have to pay (into the match pot, not to Celtc) for any of those that they don't sell. After the initial request, the clubs agree what the deal is for any extra tickets for visiting fans. It suits both clubs financially to fill the ground.

[Largshibby]

Meanwhile back in the real world billionaires don’t become billionaires by chucking money away.

[zitelli62]

Meanwhile back in the real world billionaires don’t become billionaires by chucking money away.

Your right though in the real world hearts take a hit as they have only sold half the away stand for fixtures including the uglies and it makes a massive difference in terms of atmosphere them not running out to a full stand though they do tend to win but let's not make it a home game to them, will never happen though.

When we play each other as often as we do in Scotland, I think the clubs will have quite good ideas of what visiting crowd number expectation would be and will never be that far way.

There isn’t a lot of appetite from fans for trips to Celtic or Rangers in the numbers are see at other away games. The cup can see a spike on those, and trips to places like Ayr and Forfar had some novelty value; a bit like Raith taking good numbers to Celtic.

We struggle to sell high three figures for Celtic away, but with the cup tie nature of the match we’ll see a few more keen to make the game than for league duty.

We should sell out, but how many more in that eventuality would be looking to go remains up for debate. I’d put the figure in hundreds more than thousands.

[Yorkshire HFC]

Not this again. Have you seen the state of our finances?

The thing about being a fan and having football as a hobby is that you don't need to worry about the business side of things - the people who are paid to do that can deal with that - it's their job.

Fans can demand all sorts of things without having any knowledge and without having to take any responsibility for the outcome.

Just like fans who couldn't run 10 yards can scream at elite athletes and tell them they're not fit enough or they're not putting in enough effort.

Being a fan is a very privileged position.

[DH1875]

Surely it's up to us to call this bull* out. Moment Celtic offer us 2.6k seats we should be like erm......, no. We will take the 4k we are entitled to. Both clubs would need to agree on the 2.6k. There is one club in the wrong here and unfortunately it isn't celtic. Unless of course we are happy with the 2.6k as the club don't think we would shift 4k+.

It's 100% Celtic. They've allocated us a third of the seats as restricted view, knowing fine well that will put people off going.

If they'd given us 3000 normal seats we'd have sold them in no problem and probably more.

This is something Kieran Power might be able to clarify for us.

Erm.....no. The rules say we can get up to 20% of the stadium. Hibs can demand they are given anything up to that. Celtic say your getting 4% then we simply say NO we want 7%.
Celtic say your getting 4% and we roll over accepting it.

You say that but as I said earlier we don't know what the rules actually are beyond this 20% headline. My gut tells me there's probably a chance that Celtic have kept a required amount to one side to appease the bodies and rules and if we sell out our allocation will release more and more as needed, hoping to not have to. The onus is on Hibs fans to buy the tickets available.

[Power]

This is something Kieran Power might be able to clarify for us.

We have been provided several allocations, starting from the low standard, and have now been given a bigger than standard Parkhead initial ticket allocation for the match (European allocation) but it’s still frustrating low.

Sell out this initial allocation is the step to getting more - I believe our demand is more (we’re entitled up to 20% as per cup rules).

They’re the home team and it’s their match operation. They believe the increased 2.7k is enough (probably based on recent matches there - including both our fixtures there this season, league and league cup, were we returned c200 tickets each time from the standard allocation). I disagree.

We’ll continue to push for more throughout the sales process before we do sell out.

Still feels like Celtic have been crafty here by offering loads of crap view seats. Prob knowing many wont pay to see half a pitch and there they have their reason for not offering us more. The whole ticket situation in cup games involving the OF is ridiculous in Scottish football but nothing will ever get done about it.

The rules are on the SFA website. It's rule 29.

[SHODAN]

My overriding question is why a supposed elite football stadium still has great big ****ing pillars in it preventing a big chunk of the audience from actually seeing what's going on.

That is an embarrassment. They should be removed from rotation for international games etc while it is still there. Why haven't they done anything about that?

Every away support gets those seats. That was never going to change regardless of how big an allocation we get.

[Centre Hawf]

Yes, but my point is there's probably been precedent on the basis of releasing tickets as they're needed. Something even the SFA/SPFL do for Hampden.

As KP suggests, selling out what we've been given will be the step to getting more tickets, if we don't sell them then we don't get them.

The main stand is apparently a listed building meaning it would be difficult to get approval to demolish it and rebuild like the rest of the ground.

[B.H.F.C]

To be fair, the other side is built with multiple pillars running the length of the pitch in the top tier as well. Won’t be as bad as the monster pillars in the corners, but still pish.

[Trinity Hibee]

Aware of that but if we’d been given our full 20% of seats we would have sold the better ones which is what Celtic have done their best to avoid. Essentially we are entitled to those given we should get 20% of seats but the fans have been done out of them

[marinello59]

Surely it’s only the frontage of and stadium that would be protected. They can change the interior roof etc.

Not sure, is there not something about the span of the roof that was unique at the time it was built?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Yes, that sounds likely. I’m also surprised to learn that the ugly brick structure at the front of their main stained is listed. It looks like a local guy in Yellow Pages did it.

[Moulin Yarns]

I've seen estimates of £130m to redevelop it adding 8,000 seats. Not cost effective.

Think the worrying thing or the thing that bothers me most here is on your post here and on Twitter that selling our allocation will give us reason to ask for more. There seems to be no guarantee that if we will sell out that we will get more. More of a hope than an agreement

We are entitled to 20% as per the rules. If we sell out I would imagine they are obliged to give us more

[Broken Gnome]

Are we not tying ourselves in knots here?

I saw on a different thread people harking back to happier days you didn't necessarily need to know the inner workings of the board or every financial detail of a club. Now we seemingly need to decipher a watertight process on how quickly and in what order we should sell a ticket allocation.

We have 2,700 tickets. A fair chunk are crap. We'll likely not get anymore. Everyone that is intending to go could just buy them?

That’s for the clarification. Looks like our hands are tied until we sell out then. It’s very disappointing to have so many restricted view seats , that will slow sales down a lot.

We have had the restricted view seats for every trip to Celtic since the mid 90’s - why has it suddenly become a major stumbling block for sales for this particular game?

[gbhibby]

Their main stand was part of the redevelopment of the stadium and the frontage is nothing like the original unlike Ibrox. Probably applied to get it listed to copy Rangers, they are the team that likes to copy.

Okay. They should lose their license to hold big games not involving Celtic, see how long it remains "listed."

You're missing the point entirely. 1/3 of the seats they have given us don't have a full view of the pitch, so who knows if we'll sell them as who wants to pay for a ticket, travel ect when you don't even know if you'll see the goals.

If we don't sell out Celtic will claim we couldn't sell our allocation, forgetting that a third of those seats are restricted view when I'm pretty sure we'd have shifted 4kish full non restricted view seats.

How can that possibly be the fault of Hibs?

It’s not perfect and the view from right behind the pillar is pish. Plenty of the restricted view seats will have a better view than at Ayr though. There will be the added bonus of a couple of thousand folk not having to queue for 20 minutes to share 3 portaloos at Parkhead as well. And that one was seen as a great place to go!

Still think we’ll comfortably sell this allocation as pish as some of the tickets will be.

[Moulin Yarns]

Okay. They should lose their license to hold big games not involving Celtic, see how long it remains "listed."

Obviously you don't understand the listing is nothing to do with Celtc.

[hibsbollah]

Can i ask the obvious question, do we know which seats are restricted view? Does it tell you when you buy?

[Ronniekirk]

We have had the restricted view seats for every trip to Celtic since the mid 90’s - why has it suddenly become a major stumbling block for sales for this particular game?

It’s one of the reasons I don’t go to Parkhead but when it’s the Scottish cup I rarely miss a game
The last time was there for a league game I got I. Late and as I was walking down to find my seat Henrik Larrson came running g towards me with his tounge out lol

[Dublin07]

Yes the restricted view seats are cheaper.

[JeMeSouviens]

If you're swithering about going, you'll hold off buying in case better becomes available. So sales will be slow-ish and we won't get any more.

[JeMeSouviens]

To be fair, the other side is built with multiple pillars running the length of the pitch in the top tier as well. Won’t be as bad as the monster pillars in the corners, but still pish.

Presumably there is a giant pillar at the other end of the main stand too?

We should put the Ultras behind it, they don't watch the game anyway. :wink:

[Helensburghhibs]

All this talk of restricted view. A fair chunk of the support had a restricted view at Ayr yet paid full price, let's not pretend this is an issue that will stop people buying. Get them sold. I think we will end up taking 3kish, mainly because we at them 6 times a season with minimal chance of a result

[Broken Gnome]

Has a support ever really done that to the extent it's going to markedly impact how many they take through?

Let's just assume we won't get anymore and buy them, rather than hesitantly talk all week about potentially buying them.

Restricted view at Parkhead is on another level. I was sat there once with the giant pillar blocking the edge of the 18 yard box to the 6 yard line at the near goal. Bizarre. We were pish anyway, so I didn't miss much as it turned out.

Yup. Some of them aren't bad but the worst seats basically make the game unwatchable, and it's pot luck what you get.

It will 100% put people off going.

I think so, yeah. We're a fickle bunch at the best of times. A decent result or otherwise on Saturday could see demand for this soar or dry up altogether.

[marinello59]

All this talk of restricted view. A fair chunk of the support had a restricted view at Ayr yet paid full price, let's not pretend this is an issue that will stop people buying. Get them sold. I think we will end up taking 3kish, mainly because we at them 6 times a season with minimal chance of a result

It’s nothing like the restricted view at Ayr, we were in terracing there and free to move around if we wanted. I have been in restricted view seats at the last three games at Parkhead which varied from a small piece of the pitch being invisible to having to watch a large part of the game on the big screens. It’s unacceptable in what is supposed to be a modern day stadium.
I think we will sell out but that will be despite the restricted views, the complaints about them are valid. Some people will be put off going when we get to the stage that they are all that are left. I don’t know anyone who picks one willingly to save a few quid.

[SHODAN]

Obviously you don't understand the listing is nothing to do with Celtc.

I do, I just need something to be mad about.

[one day maybe...]

Hibs could have boxed clever here in buying up the 1000 restricted view tickets themselves and ran with a deal that 500 adult paying tickets could have 1 free child ticket. That would have been a maximum hit @£14 a ticket of 7K to the club. The remaining the tickets would sell quickly and we could go then go back and ask for an increased allocation.
Only an idea and maybe a crap one but it may have encouraged fans to purchase the restricted view tickets from Hibs.

[B.H.F.C]

Be interesting to see what the uptake is like tomorrow morning. Obviously not the greatest time for them to go on sale but I still think there will be a good bit of interest. Even in this thread you have quite a few folk, that don’t normally go to Celtic Park, saying they intend to go to this one. Biggest thing that will stop folk is if we get the runaround tomorrow lunchtime.

[Keith_M]

For anybody that hasn't been to Celtc Park recently... the restricted view is now even worse, as they'd added netting between the away end and the main stand.

Plus it's easily the widest pillar I've ever seen at any stadium.

[DaveF]

Yup. Some of them aren't bad but the worst seats basically make the game unwatchable, and it's pot luck what you get.

It will 100% put people off going.

Yep, I've absolutely no interest in paying a lot of money to potentially watch a match on a screen. I've more or less stopped going to away games because I find thing a chore, what with over zealous stewarding and policing and crap views.

I'm glad I had my time years back. It wasnt trouble free but it was far more enjoyable than now.

[erin go bragh]

Well ill be happy enough getting tickets, restricted view included. Had restricted views when we pumped them 3-1 early 2000's and wasn't bothered one bit about the restricted view.
I can assure you, if we knock them out, everyone there will have a ball.

[Since452]

I'll likely have a restricted view by kick off anyway 🍺🍺🍺

[Cod Boy]

Will the usual crowd be giving a section of the stand

Block 7 will be given the plum seats and if they fancy yours instead they'll be telling you to get the **** out, you can guarantee that.

At least they'll be able to share flags and learn some new songs from the Green Brigade

[hibsforeurope]

Presumably there is a giant pillar at the other end of the main stand too?

We should put the Ultras behind it, they don't watch the game anyway. :wink:

I think we are, sure block 7 are in section 120

No queue at all. Straight in and unrestricted view tickets bought :agree:

I assume the unrestricted ones in line with the pitch (as opposed to the corner) are the best ones available?

[Carheenlea]

It’s helpful being able to select your own seats if you know where pillar sight lines fall. When you click on a seat it tells you anyway if full or restricted.

It’s certainly not Tynecastle levels of frenzied demand. I’m sure I could have waited till getting home from game today and there would still be plenty availability.

Just had a look on the seat map and it looks pretty much as expected. Full site seats selling well, restricted view pretty sluggish.

Assuming that 1 random block against the gable end in the Lisbon Lions upper has been put aside for us should we need it? As well as the seats directly below that section that weren't put on sale? Should take the allocation to over 3500 if that is the case.

[AdidasHibernian]

Does it look likely there will be a good chance of getting tickets when they go on general sale? Planning on going if there is tickets come payday 28th.

After two hours of sales a pattern certainly developing between restricted/full view options.

That’s left empty so there’s no home fans above us. Was the same for their European games.

[GreenCastle]

The least this team deserves is a massive support through in Glasgow - would be brilliant to take a lot more than we were allocated.

[Since452]

Should add a couple thousand away fans!

Team deserves a sell out especially after today. Let's get this sold out and back the lads to pull of a famous result.

Only restricted view left, but about 2-300 maybe.

[BoomtownHibees]

If you look at the picture posted in this thread earlier from the Bayern game, there’s definitely folk sitting in those seats. Home fans

There has barely been a ticket sold today comparing seat maps from earlier this morning to now.

With no announcement yet as to whether we are getting any more are some ST holders engaging in a Mexican Stand Off with the Restricted view seats and gambling on a general sale shifting those dormant tickets and an extended allocation being announced?

Celtic won’t give us anymore until we are under 100 left I’d imagine. They are playing hardball. I can’t imagine the restricted view tickets that are left are very appealing to our fans.

[Squealing pig]

Taking ages to load on ticket site

Surely we should be requesting(demanding) more tickets today.

[LancashireHibby]

Had tickets in my basket but then wouldn’t let me actually open my basket to pay. Went on another browser and the clock was ticking for ages on my payment authorised (quite common with Ticketmaster and NatWest) to the extent that I had to close the tab and reload everything which somehow prompted everything to complete and send my confirmation email

Went on the online seat view and block 119 doesn’t seem THAT bad, but I’m sure I’ll find out on the day!

[Chorley Hibee]

I don't think we'll get another allocation either, but with almost a fortnight before the game, it shows that Hibs should have held out for a larger allocation.

Kieran Power has told us there is a "chance" of further tickets, so Hibs should be ramping up the pressure for more ASAP.

[B.H.F.C]

Be surprised if we get more as well. It’s Celtic, they do as they please and would just point out we’ve not, yet, sold out. If we do get a few more I think it will be the remainder of section 118 which initially looked like it would be for segregation.

[hibsforeurope]

I was no way a Kensell fan but he stuck up for Hibs in issues like this. So far there’s been radio silence on the measly allocation.
Imagine if we hadn’t offered Celtic 20% of tickets for a game at Easter road it would be all over the media.

I know there’s the whole thing about restricted and non-restricted view to consider but we’re at general sale and still have tickets remaining. So I think it’s a bit early to be making too much of a fuss. If/when we sell out and if we’re refused more, then we can kick up a fuss.

Less than 200 now remain and there's nearly a fortnight left till the game.

I still think there's a good few fans hoping better views/more tickets will become available.

I think we're well within our rights to be on the phone demanding more, right now, in order to enable as much time as possible to sell them and gather a big support through there.

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be getting a further batch of tickets.

We need to be making more of this if no further tickets are forthcoming, we’ve only been given 4% of the 20% we could have.

I know a good few season ticket holders (myself included) who, by the time they parked up on Saturday, were left with only restricted view tickets so decided to hold off for a further batch.

[Ringothedog]

Still 236 tickets left

[Perd Hapley]

Never been to Parkhead, been emboldened enough by Saturday to change that. See with the tickets currently available - am I right in thinking there's some kind of wall on the left hand side separating the fans? Is that a serious impediment to viewing? I'm a wee guy, would be hacked off to be stuck behind a big wall all game lol - so long as I can see both goalmouths I'll be happy. Any advice appreciated

Walls just at waist height. There's a netting above it to prevent stuff being thrown. The pillar is the only real obstruction to the view

No, the problem is that there's a huge pillar holding up the roof of their old main stand where it joins the new corner section.

[TelaStella]

Eventually got mine after fighting with the ticket website for hours. Says you could only allocate 1 ticket per 1 client ref number but wouldn't accept either of my pal's details, one who is a season ticket holder as well. Eventually it decided to just allocate 3 under my own instead. No complaints in the end but would've been raging if we'd missed out. Anyway, last couple trips to parkhead have been in the home end... first time in years i'll be there surrounded by the good guys, can't wait and feeling optimistic. 1-0 Hibs.

[Pretty Boy]

112 left, all of them in section 120 bar one solitary ticket.

We surely have a pretty strong case for at least another 4-500 tickets now.

Surely we have an agreement in place with Celtic that allows us the option of a further allocation if we sell the initial allocation out?

There's an SFA rule in place that Hibs can request up to 20% of the capacity, or 12,000 tickets in the case of Celtc Park.

If Hibs request more and Celtc say no, then they're breaching that rule.


I personally think Hibs could take around 5,000 to this one, if Hibs asserted their rights to the tickets.

[B.H.F.C]

Thought we’d sell the initial allocation easy enough, Saturday obviously helped. Hope we get more, no convinced we will.

There's a loophole though (isn't there always?)

Rule 29.2 and the Police and Safety at Sport Ground Act 1975.

If the relevant authorities agree Celtic can't host any more away fans safely then the 20% rule is waived. If it comes down to an argument between us and them I wonder who the authorities will side with........For all their posturing to the contrary they are every inch the establishment club now.

That’s why I don’t think we’ll get any more. I reckon the excuse will be something to do with segregation and/or them ending up being above us. We’ll have the option to get more but would be significantly more and we’d have to cover the cost for anything unsold. Actually reckon another thousand or so would be fine.

They know we will give them the full stand regardless because as things stand we don't have the demand to cut their allocation.

Rangers fans get 5% of the capacity for the derby. So far we’ve not been given as much as that.

[SHODAN]

Right Celtic, give us more tickets now.

[LancashireHibby]

Can’t decide if I’m going to be annoyed at getting a new allocation with seats far better than the ones I’ve got, or be glad for the extra numbers and a victory for common sense.

All that said, I do find it surprising how well people keep to reserved seating at away games as that absolutely isn’t the case at games down here, even when it’s a sell out (most weeks for Bolton away games)

[Ringothedog]

19 tickets left. Let’s hope for another batch to get us up to 4k

[Hibby70]

11 left

[hibee1875]

What’s with the random seat that looks like it’s floating in the middle of nowhere?

[Hibby70]

It'll be the one under the pylon, in the foundations. Classed as "Restricted breathing"

[PHeffernan]

6 tickets left

[Hibby70]

It's just that weird single seat that nobody wants left. 😂

[BoomtownHibees]

Nobody will buy it and they will claim we haven’t sold out so no more tickets

[Since90+2]

Imagine how quickly an allocation of full non restricted seats would have went? Celtic are it.

:agree:

Last season QF at Parkhead attendance was 33K. We’re a bigger draw than Livi but can’t see them selling out.

There was over 47k at our league cup game with them. I would guess the Scottish cup will see quite a bit more. Our support this time is 3 times bigger than at the league cup game

[seanshow]

On the seating plan
How is that seat in the middle with a space around it?

[kennyh]

I just took that last ticket. Needed 2 but hoping the next block is opened up soon.

[Ronniekirk]

Should get sorted out today There is no reason why we shouldn’t get more unless they are still raging about thier disallowed goal

[hibsforeurope]

they will still be raging:greengrin but the extra tickets should be ready to go now that we've sold out, it shouldn't be a case of having to go back begging for more.

[Trinity Hibee]

Well done to everyone who has bought tickets. We are showing Celtic up now.

[Chorley Hibee]

There shouldn't be any delay or conversation surrounding this.

An extra allocation of tickets should be on sale today.

There should be questions asked if there isn't.

[one day maybe...]

Surely an announcement from Hibs before lunchtime, as to how much extra tickets they've secured :confused:

[GreenCastle]

Well done Hibs fans.

Hopefully hear soon about extra allocation and see shift more and get a large following through there in good numbers.

Was the top tier section always available?

The team deserve all the support they can get.

[BoomtownHibees]

1 single seat available in 118

[JasonC1875]

1 single seat available in 118

And another in 119, restricted view.

[Chorley Hibee]

1 single seat available in 118

Celtic probably releasing an individual seat at a time. 🤣

[flash]

Celtic probably releasing an individual seat at a time. 🤣

You would have to admire their sh**housery if they did that.

[Hibs90]

I bought the last seat.

Sold out now.

[JimBHibees]

Wouldn’t be surprising

No definitive proof Hibs have sold out according to Celtic.

No further tickets. 😝

[PHeffernan]

Sold out now.

Well done yourself and KennyH

Game on

Right Cellik, loads mare tickets on the table now ya smelly tearful corporate gits

[Hibs90]

A random restricted view ticket has appeared.

Maybe they are releasing them one by one...

[Springbank]

No definitive proof Hibs have sold out according to Celtic.

People say they are looking at the seating plan, but they're just guessing...

Your on fire today :thumbsup:

Taking the piss now

Send Rocky roond tae sort them oot

P.S. Seat has gone again!

And it's back...

Someone is taking the piss

[one day maybe...]

Would have expected something from Hibs by now, to at least say they are in dialogue with Celtic with a view to securing an extra allocation of tickets.

[hibsforeurope]

With the AGM tonight and no CEO this will be down the list of priorities for the 'senior management team' who are left with the day-to-day duties.

[JasonC1875]

And it's back...

Someone is taking the piss

And away again

[Trinity Hibee]

It’s blatant flouting of the rules in the cup. It shouldn’t even be a discussion, we are entitled to about 11/12k if we want them. But we know nothing will be done as it’s Celtic.

They didn’t sell out last round v Raith either. They don’t need to worry about getting more than 50% at Hampden though as they won’t be getting there

[gbhibby]

Celtic selling tickets now to their season ticket holders and guaranteeing that they will get their seat if payment received by 27th February. Wonder if any season ticket holders sit in the area of where we would be hoping to get extra tickets.

Edit page has changed they are advising STH that they will have to move from area 117 and will contact them.

I imagine there is.

So looking even less likely we'll be in receipt of any further tickets.

Hibs need to provide an update.

That depends on your angle.

They agreed to give the huns 5% of tickets for the derby, this would include some of the behind the goals stand, surely there won't be season ticket holders in there, unless its cat B tickets or something like that.

[LaMotta]

So that means we’re not getting any more.

Would say the opposite if they are moving season tickets from 117....

[Chorley Hibee]

I think that 117 will be used as the separation between the respective supports.

I don't think it's to accommodate further Hibs fans.

[davhibby]

117 is tiny, it likely means that’s just being used for segregation. If we were getting any meaningful amount of extra tickets they’d have needed to move people from 116. If we’re getting any more it’s a couple of hundred not the couple of thousand we should have had the chance to shift

The fact that they’ve only mentioned that isn’t a good sign IMO.

On the seating plan 117 is a really small section. With segregation in place etc I’d say we might get a minimal amount more, at best.

[DarrenSQH]

Celtic now selling the seats right next to us

[Hibs90]

Celtic now selling the seats right next to us


Timed very well indeed.

They knew exactly what they were doing.

[Chorley Hibee]

A total joke.

Hibs need to be forthcoming with a statement on this and an explanation as to why they've agreed to such a paltry amount in the first place (given the rules in place).

Call me a sceptic, but the McGrath signing being announced today is a good bit of news to deflect away from the AGM and now this.

[Hibs90]

That's what we might get, however we are obviously entitled to more and should be kicking up a huge fuss publicly if Celtic are not adherent to the rules.

[gbhibby]

Got an email from Hibs saying they a still I discussions with Celtic. From what we are seeing the ball is out of play.

[Trinity Hibee]

Not a surprise at all if we don’t get more tickets. Who holds Celtic to account though and what is the punishment for not adhering to the cup rules? This sort of pettiness/backhandeness only seems to happen in Scotland and tends to always involve the OF.

They know nothing will happen to them so do as they please and it’s just allowed to happen, apparently, unchallenged

[Hibs90]

We don't need to be 'in discussions' we are entitled to them.

Ask and pay for the next batch and carry on.

[Chorley Hibee]

**** the discussions and get the SFA involved, and demand that they enforce their own rules.

I’m not going not going to be blaming Hibs here. We should be familiar with how Celtic operate and they will have made this as difficult as possible for us.

I thought 3K might have been enough and obviously we are a bit under that. It’s taken a couple of days to shift a a few hundred tickets in a general sale and how many more we realistically would have sold is up for debate.

I’ll guess Celtic would have been demanding we take a considerable number of tickets of many thousand at our cost upfront or settle for what we have.

The “segregation” “H&S” excuse will be used for any allocation suggestions in between.

[Hibs90]

Exactly!

**** the discussions and get the SFA involved, and demand that they enforce their own rules.

And to add, keep on doing it until it's bleedingly obvious there isn't going to be anymore sales.

And do it publicly to put pressure on them.

I think it’s reasonable to suggest that the reason for the sluggish sales at the end was people holding off for full view seats. It’s why Hibs needed to have an additional allocation agreed when the initial one was announced, it’s on Hibs for not doing that.

[hibsforeurope]

who was the email from at Hibs, if you don't mind me asking?

as mentioned no discussions should be needed.

Oh how convenient - another batch of seats in the restricted view area has opened up..
