Most likely they burned some of them whilst drawing cave paintingsQuote:

If you're in F6, there must be close to half of the East Stand sold out, as the north half is F1 to F7 and the south half is G1 to G8.Quote:

The only downside of good ticket sales is it helps Hearts current cash flow problems. Can't have everything I suppose :wink:
Ill hazard a guess and say Aberdeen will shift 12K and Hibs will shift 17K
It's not sold out no.Quote:

They've sold about 12,000 they think, and are hoping to maybe have between 14,000 - 15,000 by next Saturday, which is pretty much the standard amount Aberdeen have been bringing to recent semi-finals.
It won't do Hibs current cash flow problems any harm either!Quote:

From the card the girl showed me, around five or six sections from the halfway line have been sold.
Directly opposite we are selling dribs and drabs in a couple of sections.
My estimation is that we will be lucky to have 15000 supporters. I hope we take more but I'm pretty sure the supporters who do go to back the team will be loud and proud.
I only hope the players don't let us down yet again.
there'll be a lot of people buying them this weekend and if we win that'll give ticket sales another boost.Quote:

I shall be having seriously words with my postie tomorrow if he doesn't turn up with tickets in hand that I ordered on Monday :fuming:
I was down there and bought some tickets at half four as well. F6 row LL was the best seats I could get for purchasing three together so we are doing quite well. Early this morning the system was offering me the top row of F5 so maybe we've shifted nearly one section of the East during that time:dunno:Quote:

This has been a bloody nightmare. Ticketmaster originally just took my money without a receipt or anything and they know nothing about it. Hibs know nothing either. Its a bloody shambles that money can just disappear into the ether like that...I had to part with more cash for tickets. To top it off I left my boys jacket in the changing room while he was trying on a strip in the club shop. Maybe this is someones way of telling me I shouldn't go.:boo hoo:
Does anyone know the opening hours for the ticket office? Cant see anything on the website.
I would think it would be 9am Nicky
According to the official site the Ticket Office is open 9-3 on a Saturday if its a non match day.
Just incase anyone is interested just spoke to the ticket office and the said their open until 5 today.
If you look at the Hapmden interactive seating plan you can roughly work out the Capacity for each section. I reckon D1 - F7 is about 14570. Going by what people are saying on here we should easily sell this out. Sooo when you consider the main stand there should be around 17-18K of us there :flag::flag:

At the end of the day, i suppose what matters is the support we give the players on the day.
I've got a few bad memories of my days out at the national stadium but I'm sitting in the same area that I sat in the last time we won the cup. Fingers crossed it's a good omen.
Hoping to make it to this one can I buy tickets at Hampden on the day?

Now is the time to get in the ears of your pals you used to attend the games with and get them back supporting Hibs at Hampden!! Majority are peeved off right now and are justified but lets get through there and fill as many seats as we can to support the team and back them all the way to the Final. Its the lost numbers we need to get back, groups of 10 / 15 that used to attend are down to 2 / 4, its up to us to get them back and up for this game for a day out / bevvy / catch up / old timesake or whatever and hopefully the result goes our way!
AFC will be right up for this and hope they bring as many fans down as possible to create a great day out.....so c'mon lets do a final push for people we know are on the verge of going but not bought a ticket yet:flag::flag::flag:
Less than 10,000 sold and the Sheep have sold 13,500
Paid £6 for special delivery on Monday. Still not here 5 days later. What the hell is special delivery?
Hats off to eveyone who's bought tickets, including my 4, but what do people expect? We are probably the worst Hibs team I've seen in all the many years I've been a supporter. Folk need to wake up and smell the coffee if they think we're going to take 17,000 to semi final! We've only won home game this season and folk have spent £400 for a season ticket FFS.
I expect a win.Quote:

Agree, no chance of 17K, more like 12k seems reasonable. Always the same though, people exaggerating ticket sales then being left looking daft on the day. Couldnt really care how many we sell to be honest, result is all that matters.

The only evidence I have are the people on here who said they have bought tickets so I can say with some authority that we have sold in excess of 216 tickets for this semi.

Kick off time is pretty **** but lets not let it spoil a good day out at Hampden!
:flag:
Hibs never do themseves any favours with their PR. I think regardless (and especially if) we win tomorrow, PF should come on after the game and drum up support for next week. He should be saying that the Hibs.net folk have organised a 'green day' occasion and that is a fantastic tribute to our fans. Even if you hav'nt been for years, get along to Hampden for a great day out. Wear something green and bring your flags with you. We've been jobbies for a couple of years now but its the SC semi final. Come along and support your team. But Hibs will say sweet FA as usual, pants PR. We had a look at the online store today, my wife wants a stupid hat but hey, they're not even trying to shift stuff for the semi. Fricken amateurs. :confused:
Plenty silly hats in the shop today? Along with flags etc...Quote:

Sure, the club shop isn't updated as regular as it maybe should be but you could always give them a call?
I think you've totally missed the point, its never good not to advertise. There is thousands of Hibs fans going to watch it on TV, why not try to give them a reason to go. Its all about selling the idea to folk, no??:dunno:Quote:

You then said he should be saying "that the Hibs.net folk have organised a 'green day' occasion and that is a fantastic tribute to our fans.

Maybe he will after tomorrows game? :confused:
You then bumped your gums about your wife wanting a "stupid hat" and complained that they're "not even trying to shift stuff for the semi" and called them "fricken amateurs". I happily pointed out that they are selling 'stupid hats' in the club shop? :confused:
On the subject of PR. You're kind of right. I've just read through the informative PR piece written and displayed on the website this week from RP and he makes no mention of 'stupid hats'. I've also read the latest piece of PR from our manager and yet again, he mentions nothing about 'stupid hats'.
You'd be well within your rights to send the club an email and complain :rolleyes:
I'm no expert but maybe punting a few 'stupid hats' isn't the clubs main priority before an important league match?
Oh dear! Not just inside info, but TWO lots of it!!! One foot in either camp - aye, very good!:rolleyes:Quote:

I'm sure the club will fill our boots next week with cup-semi PR and hype. In the meantime I'm glad the club have concentrated on focusing on the Motherwell match first.
One game at a time and all that.
That's nothing... I have inside info from Hibs, Sheep and Hampden who have all confirmed that Hibs will be wearing green strips and wait for it....The sheep will be wearing Red strips...Quote:

I'm just pointing out that there is an advertising opportunity here that the club never seems to adopt. I'm sure every cpmpany in the world faced with a sales oportunity would have something on line to order. I can get my hats and scarfs from the weegie mob on the way to Hampden or get the old stuff out the loft. I'm trying and hoping that every Hibby that can go, will go. Not looking for my post to be taken to bits.Quote:

WAll right, you can all just ...., I was only trying to make a point.

I really hope we get to the final (stating the bleeding obvious I know :wink:) but as much for the bleating from those that can't get their hands on a ticket due to not being a ST holder / Next season ST holder / Member / SF stub holder.....:greengrin
Let the whinging begin.....OH and in case you didn't realise...No sympathy will be shown :na na:
My mate has been ill for a while, and not been for over a year, and after todays game has decided he wants to go next week. I have just booked him on the train with us, and was wondering if he'd be able to buy a ticket at the game from a booth, or will he have to get one from easter road?:confused:
Can't remember what was done in the past? Were SF stubs able to be used for a final?Quote:

Hopefully todays result and performance will inspire a few more to go along. It's a shame from that perspective that we didn't win as it could have added a few hundred on to the sales.
I see that it says on the web about Cup Bundles? Whats included with that?
"When you're picking up your Cup semi-final tickets, take a look at what's on offer in the Clubstore and treat yourself to one of our Cup bundles (available in-store only). Look the part and play your part - the Hibees are back at Hampden."
They used to sell tickets to the South Stand for Scotland matches through the Museum at Hampden, you then collected them from a booth in the Lesser Hampden area outside the ground.Quote:

The only people who will be guaranteed a ticket for the final will be season ticket holders, but lets get there firstQuote:

Hibs, sadly, aren't the draw they were of yesteryear, although I love them just as much.

:thumbsup:
dont believe what is being said about the dons selling 15k tickets , a quick visit to the dons site shows they are still selling north stand tickets same as us and selling west stand sections same as us also so sounds about the same amount for both teams :flag:
It's in the middle of the lambing season so I reckon that there will only be a couple of hundred Dons fans there.Quote:

Sheep have allocation of 12,500 as they are not selling any South Stand. You can still buy in West and North so they're not sold out
On the day our numbers will be about equal with the West end looking busier than our East due to some of our crowd occupying the South
We will still outsing them
