The game is 3 weeks away

The game will be sold out by Tuesday night, I would expect. I'll hopefully pick up one of those single seats in the middle of the West stand.

I have absolutely no clue how you can come to that highly unlikely conclusion at this stage. Crazy thinking.

How many season ticket holders have we got, about 9.5? All of them would have to buy 1 ticket and about 85% of them would have to buy a 2nd ticket for us to sell out before the general sale. Do you honestly think we won't sell them all?

Total pish. We will sell this out before a ball gets kicked against Rangers.

Well said, 100% agree. ST holders commit to paying out several hundred pounds a season and it’s money the club can count on.

Doesn’t make a ST holder a “better” fan it means they have shown a level of commitment to the club and to pay for a seat every home game. It’s a justifiable “perk” of being a ST holder to get first chance a tickets for games like cup finals.

Away ST holders go the extra mile again which is why they also get first go at a ticket for even more restricted allocations such as games away to Hearts.

Your first sentence will be proven wrong as soon as it gets to public sale.

Your second sentence - I am still struggling to work out what it means.....................

Bl00dy hope so mate.

My plan B Ive written to Drey Wright to ask him if he's got any family spares. Ive told him I think he's the best player ever to pull a Hibs shirt on and how he isnt playing week in week out i'll never know, I'm your biggest and only fan Drey. Sort me out. That should work.

Most will, I think there will be a few disappointed unless the extras we receive is in the high hundreds.

Just FYI in terms of the debentures - tickets are on sale to debenture holders until the end of Tuesday 30 November.

There's three weeks to go until the game and because we have about 3,000 tickets still to sell after only three days you are saying the SPFL have been proved correct. Jeezo, I've heard of cup half empty, you haven't even GOT a cup mate :faf:

Yip as I said I understand the importance of a ST holder to the club, however a ST guarentees you a seat for 19 home games the fact it entitles you to a final ticket but not have to attend any other round in the competition is wrong imo, more ST holders is what we need no disagreements there but under what I said originally the best way to guarentee you where at cup finals is by holding a ST you just have to take up ur option of going to the semi final to get it which you will still hold priority for.

The cut to ticket numbers is because our attendance in the semi was so poor, should you have to attend a semi final to get final tickets that would stop that issue from happening again if ST holders take up semi tickets there won’t be fans there that ‘just attend one game’ everybody wins

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all

There are about 1100 tickets available for sale online. 2 blocks yet to go on sale totalling about 1200 as well. We are going to need the “Doncaster” extra ticket allocation soon

Who’s to say the semi final hasn’t been the only game some fans have attended? Would they still deserve preference over a ST holder then?

Nope ST holders have priority to get semi tickets ahead of everyone else as it is now and then on to the final if they attended, but if you decide to sit in the house and watch on telly as there’s more chance of a pumping than a win, to then jump to head of the queue when other people took the gamble is wrong imo

Everyone knows a Season Ticket will guarantee the chance to buy a ticket for Category A away games, semi finals and finals. It's right that Season ticket holders have priority even if they didn't attend a semi final.

To those who were at the Semi final but don't have a season ticket - buy a season ticket.

Some take, just because they didn't attend one game.

Deary me, some business plan that🙈 Attending one game overrides a year long financial commitment, I’d actually value the walk up punter who attends non category A game more than people who rock up at big games and trips to Hampden. I know of Hibs ‘fans’ who hardly set foot in ER but when the attraction of day out in Glasgow on an organised bus becomes available they’re right up for it. Give me the ‘supporter’ who makes it to ER when time/finances allow any day.

Starting to get the fear that all this bickering is for nothing and that none of us will get to go 🚫☢

Well said. Fans who invest their time and money into games at Easter Road should have a higher priority than those who simply attend one game (a semi final).

I genuinely think you end up with more attending games and if they could load points on for games at ER and make them twice as valuable as away games to promote supporters going to home games. LD has left the building so the subject should be revisited

---

I was shouting for loyalty points after 2016 and was pissed off when they got scrapped but I think its more hassle than its worth TBH, especially as clubs are by-passing Hibs and allowing us to buy direct (which is a good thing, saves the hassle of getting to ER). The post 2016 demand has died down and granted there has been a few touch-and-go moments I've managed to get a ticket for every match, as has our whole group.

Introducing loyalty points could have the opposite effect on crowds as you end up with different people at different levels. The mum or dad is on 100 points but the kid is only on 50 points so not eligible just now type thing.



Regarding OF fans getting into the Hibs end I don't know why people get so worked up about it. Plenty Hibs fans in the Livi end in 2004. Stacks of Hibs fans in the home ends in the championship against Falkirk (play-off), Dumbarton, BSC Glasgow, infact there was a good few dozen in the home ends at Parkhead a few years ago. So long as they're not acting like dicks I can't say i'm overly arsed.

Can’t really see this happening. Unless they bring forward the “fully vaccinated” status to having had the booster which is probably too soon to implement. Maybe the checks will be more stringent or could request everyone to take and provide evidence of a negative test. Lots of us are having to do that for social gatherings and it’s no big deal to do.

Indeed

It's a good balanced piece

Neil Doncaster has achieved the impossible - he's made me agree with something that Davie Provan says!

That's how bad the ticket allocation decision is.

If the shoe was on the other foot and all semi finals and finals took place in Edinburgh and we didn't have to travel and pay for it our attendances would be much bigger for these games. These arse cheeks forget these games always get played in their back gardens.

I really do think that Old Firm fans have blind spots and just don’t grasp the fact that these are not Old Firm home fixtures. Playing in Glasgow obviously a factor with not really understanding the concept of a neutral, or supposed neutral venue.

Unless we play Hearts, Aberdeen etc in a final I think we have sadly seen the last of 50/50 splits. Anyone who thinks that Doncaster and the SPFL have made this decision off their own back is kidding themselves. Celtic will have been pushing behind the scenes for this skewed carve up of tickets. The same will no doubt happen with the SFA and The Scottish Cup.

There’s no override you just have to attend the semi and nothing changes, we’re Currently being punished for the poor semi attendance and have the allocation cut by around 7k, we’ve sold 14k out of the 17.5 already to ST holders alone, with no thoughts towards the guys who made up the 8-10k vs Rangers how difficult u think it’s going to be for any non-st holders in that number to get hold of tickets to see the final, something needs changed my way might not be the answer but somethings needing tweaked to help improve semi attendances so that we can get back to 50/50 splits on our next visit and all I’ve thought of so far is the only way to guarentee your seat at a final should we get there is to be a ST holder and attend the semi final, keeps the priority for ST holders and gives more emphasis on the semi

I’m aware you won’t get turkeys voting for Xmas, it would take something to not get enough tickets so satisfy our average ST holder sales but if the trend of people not showing for semi’s continues it’s harder for people who can’t afford the initial outlay of a ST to get to the big games as the allocation shrinks, they’ll be screaming from the roof tops every time now for more of the split now it’s happened once we need to make it more difficult to do it next time

Sympathy not that rare or maybe just shows how unrepresentative Twitter is. I have had conversations with a number of Celtic fan's and they all agree that a final should be a 50/ 50 split unless one of the teams is unable to sell their allocation.

Surely the SPFL should ask the clubs first about tickets. There are clubs that will not be able to sell half of the stadium but they should be offered that. If its clear that the club have exhausted their sales then the other team is offered the tickets as we have been given in the past. I do not believe that the North stand can only be 50/50 split or not at all,how can you spilt either east or west stand, only when it suits the SPFL. Doncaster has become the judge an jury on this decision. There are Hibs Hearts Aberdeen and probably the two Dundee sides that will sellout half of Hampden. By the way Mr Doncaster your heavy stewarding of the upper and leaving two rows of seats free did not work at the semi.

Overseas HibsTV subscribers like me currently play £179.99 per year, which is around half the price of an adult season ticket holder. Nevertheless, it still appears that this level of investment is of little priority to the Cub who just sent me the following reply re the Cup Final:

“The sales window at the moment is for season ticket holders only, when we get to selling tickets as a general sale then this become open to anyone on the database to purchase, this would be when Hibs TV subscribers would be eligible for purchasing.”


BTW I have no problems with giving STH first dibs, but maybe going forward post-Leanne, we can get some kind of points-based system happening again for finals.

I know of a Celtic fan that has bought tickets in section C1 which surely suggests that we won’t be getting any more tickets?

I think that all those fans that made the effort in 1991 to go to Hampden on Cup Final day, only to find out the gates had closed early because it was full, should be made the top priority for the remaining tickets.

If Hibs don't make an announcement to that effect today, then it proves once and for all that they don't care about the Fans.

Hibs do need to look at the ticketing and situations like this.

There are folk who spend hundreds on ST tickets / hospitality - you could even say gold should have got priority over other sections.

Then we have club shop purchases where folk spend hundreds of £.

Overseas fans who buy Hibs tv and ST (some don’t attend) but want to support the club also - surely there should be some incentives if they want to return for a bigger game.

I’m not sure the answer but Hibs need to find a way that entices people to spend more but also attend and get a fair shot when tickets are tight.

A simple keep ticket stub could have been said before the semi final and ideally Hibs you will get a reduced final attendance if you don’t sell X amount in semi final.

Agree Hibs have information on the database so could ask overseas fans with your credentials by email to reply if they would be wanting a ticket for the final, based on this tickets can be held back as they are doing for the hospitality packages. Not rocket science.

The only flaw in your plan b is drey miss places a lot of passes so your tickets could end up anywhere....

So am I correct in the assumption that the following is now the proposed priority order for getting Cup Final Tickets?

1. Season Ticket holder that is also in the AST scheme
2. Gold Area Season Ticket holder
3. Silver Area Season Ticket Holder
4. Bronze Area Season Ticket Holder
5. AST scheme members that don't have a Home ST
6. Child Season Ticket Holder (East, West or FF Upper)
7. Went to Dingwall last week
8. Attend ER fairly regularly as Walk-Ups
9. Attended Semi Final v Rangers
10. Child Season Ticket Holder (FF Lower)
11. Used to have a Season Ticket but don't get out so much due to age/infirmity/location
12. Have an overseas TV subscription
13. Have bought something from the Club Shop.

Did I miss any out?

Yes. Those that didn't get a ticket in the 1st home game of the season (Ross County) ballot. Should be at the top of the list. 😜

I know it’s getting silly now. Watching hibs on the tele from another country shouldn’t entitle you to anything in a cup final. You’re that committed to hibs you’ve left the country. The tv subscription probably just covers the cost of putting the games on.

Don’t think you can be an AST holder without a home ST… apart from that though looks perfect to me.

Why? They don’t even live in this country, how many games a season do overseas fans get to? But they somehow think they’re entitled to get a jump in the queue ahead of a walk up fans who attends a few games a year. I’ve never heard anything so preposterous.

LOL, brilliant

Another way to look at that is circumstances have taken you away from hibs but you still chose to put in 180quid per year minimum

And for your £180 you get to watch every home game and lots of away games on your tv, at no point should this cross over into priority for physically attending matches. It’s a tv subscription, the same as having a sky sports subscription, it entitles the subscribers to watch the games on whatever device they choose.

Pull your head in..... it's a TV season ticket for Hibs with £180 going directly to the CLUB....#0sser

If you want us to stop watching then that's £180 less to go to the next years wages.

Get real man if you are offered a good job abroad are you going to turn it down. I think Hibs would not be high up on anyones decision making. Not the same as a sky subscription money goes directly into the club.

Correct, but the consequences are that I wouldn’t be able to watch the hibs every week. The money goes directly to the club but they have to use that money to televise the games, the same way sky do.

Almost all Hibs fans within 45 miles of Hampden, largest bulk of Celtic fans with 5 miles of Hampden, but thousands travelling from all over Scotland, and Ireland, doubt we spend more on average to be honest, we certainly spend a lot less on average for home games.

I didn’t say I wanted you to stop watching, do what you like. You can’t seriously be suggesting you should get priority over someone who attends maybe half of all home games? It’s a ridiculous suggestion, does someone who has 3 kids and buys them all the full strip have a case for a ticket because they spend £200 a season in the club shop.

Here's a wee tip......If you're in a hole stop digging.

We'll have sold out by close of play on Wednesday.

Hope Hibs put something out basically telling Doncaster to GTF when we do.

Personal view guys who stay abroad and put money in the club and regularly watch the team should definitely get some sort of priority for the bigger games if they are able to attend. Just seems the right thing to do for what is likely to be a relatively small number of people.

I'm suggesting that people who have paid half a season tickets price for Hibs TV (180 quid) should in all fairness have dibs on one (1) ticket for the Cup final. Simple.

You can watch Hibs every week but in a different way.

I have often pondered moving up north or to one of the Isles. Hibs are usually what stops me. If I got offered a job abroad they would be very near the top of my priorities - Wife and kids first and Hibs next.

We all have different ways of looking at supporting a team but to me when we are dealing with priority to attend a football game it should be how many games you have attended that decides who gets first dibs. Nothing else really matters when it comes to ticketing priority imo. It is taking the time to physically support your team. Yes, it would be unfair to some who go to every game they can afford or on every holiday they take but that is the margins and they would still be ahead of anyone who had went to less games in my book. That doesn't mean one supporter is better than the other but it is the best method to prioritise tickets imo.

As has been said the biggest problem here is that we have fewer tickets than we should have and that is making the situation worse than it could have been without a biased and corrupt League.

Sums it up perfectly. It will cost a lot of money to travel from abroad so that shows commitment. The club could sell a bond say for £100 to overseas fans which guarantees a level of priority before general sale. Gets some money into the club.

And you only get to see Hibs games and at a very anti-social hour when most people are sleeping. Real commitment. So come immediately after season ticket holders.

So what's the drill for tomorrow?

Log in before, on or just after 10am, will it make any difference?
What's the ticket office number should I need a back up plan?
I'll be on my break at work, can I get in and out in half an hour?

Thanks in advance.

The new online queuing system allows you to join the queue before 10am. I logged on about 09:45 for the sale last week and there was already 1400 in front of me.

I’d suggest, if you can, logging in early and refreshing until the queue appears. After you’re in the queue - definitely don’t refresh!

Hibs should be changing the kick off times to 2am GMT to suit folk like that.

You can actually refresh all you want in the queue, it doesn't make a difference. Your place in the queue doesn't change and you don't get kicked out the queue either, I find refreshing sometimes moves things along a bit but maybe thats just me.

I used to do that, then got booted one time and scared to do so again, although not sure how much was to do with my technology!! I’d recommend about half an hour before, and once in the queue just fire your email address in and you get 10 minutes once your place comes up.

The was 700 odd in front of me in the queue when I logged in about 13:45 on Friday, once I got into the website I was done for 10 past 2

I think its the new system to be honest, much much better than the previous one. Even getting tickets for Tynie is easy.

Will be interesting how many tickets the club allow per transaction tomorrow. I’d imagine not very many considering there aren’t too many tickets.

Will be 1 each going by whats left over, if it was 2 each there'd be very few folk able to get them. Shouldn't be too much complaints now though as every ST holder has had ample opportunity to get theirs and if they haven't yet then they only have themselves to blame.

It could be one per client reference but 20 per transaction. That was what ST holders were maxed out at (i.e. 10 ST client refs, 20 tickets).

They don't want priority they want PARITY.

And you just go to the upcoming events on the ticket page and click on the celtic match?

Imagine the carnage however unlikely we were ever to reach a european final with an allocation of about 10k. :faf::faf::faf::faf::faf:

1a) Tickets should be dished out in alphabetical order - handy as I've just changed my name to Aaron Aaronovitch!

Not sure if it needs to be more for the fact of adult/child tickets etc.

Looks like about 750 tickets available which excludes B7 which has just come online and B8 which has not been opened up
