2 tickets per ST does have the potential to be a disaster, but we have a group of 5 ST holders none of whom will be getting a 2nd ticket. I don't know if this is what Hibs are banking on, but would be a risk. That said for almost every final I can remember it has proved immpossible to please everyone. People who may "deserve" a ticket miss out and total wing nuts who only turn out for finals manage to get tickets, this year will be the same.
Unless it's a ploy for Hibs so we can sell the tickets quicker and go back to the SPFL..Quote:

Doncaster made it very clear yesterday that these were initial allocations and there was scope for further tickets being made available depending on sales.Quote:

A few of the guys on here asked Doncaster directly about the North stand
gbhibby asked him
"Will Hibs fans have access to the North stand when our initial allocation sells out"
Doncaster/His Staff replied
"No, the decision on the North stand cannot be reversed- that has been made available to Celtic.The North Stand can only be split 50/50 or not at all.A 50/50 split of the North Stand would mean (broadly) a 50/50 split of the stadium irrespective of sales- which in turn could lead to big gaps of unsold seats."
My old man is a season ticket holder. He's in his 80s and I think has only been to one game this season becuase of social distancing. I was at the Livi game earlier this season and he didn't feel comfortable to go to that. The differences between actual attendance and the declared attendance is probably largest this season than ever - as I suspect my dad isn't alone in picking and choosing which games to go to because of the pandemic. I suspect he won't want a final ticket either.Quote:

Yep as you say a few hundred extra at best.Quote:

Sorry meant to say ST holding friends - my old man and his mate have sat together for years.Quote:

Agree makes no sense not to do that.Quote:

Good shout Tam, 100% wrong decision from HibsQuote:

Maybe they want to put pressure on the SPFL for more tickets in the debenture areas of the ground, when we sell out our initial allocation early.Quote:

Ah gotcha. 👍.Quote:

Why do you think that mate? As long as you have a network of linked season tickets set up then you can just assign tickets to different season ticket reference and buy in the one transaction?Quote:

Don't think it's going to allow you to do that? Each transaction is 1+1?Quote:

Sorry you’ve lost me, who’s going to get the 2nd one if you buy?Quote:

Sorry Billy, does this make more sense.Quote:

Yip, we could get 10 and getting 4! The bed wetting on here is incredible.Quote:

This seems a nonsensical decision, cannot fathom why it would be two tickets per season which means every season ticket holder is not now guaranteed to get a ticket.
I will pay £100 to any charity you name, if any season ticket holder does not get a ticket who wants one.Quote:

I’m a season ticket holder and have zero concerns about not getting a ticket. You just need to read through the ticket threads to see that the majority of season ticket holders will not be taking up the plus 1 option. I’d expect a few thousand left for public sale.Quote:

I suppose it's inevitable but I had a text from a Celtic supporting mate earlier.
'If yous are getting 2 can I have your spare or do you know anyone who can get me 1?'
I hope anyone else who is asked gives the same curt reply I did. The 2nd word was off.
My old man has stayed away from any games this year, got a season ticket to watch the games at home and support the club.Quote:

Sales have started fairly strongly imo looking at the seats left from the initial blocks on sale

Technically not guaranteed, but the club will have data on how we've sold in the past, and know everyone who can take 2 tickets wont. :greengrinQuote:
