Magic of the cup and all that, anything can happen but just can't see a team as rank as hearts beating Rangers twice in the space of a couple of months. But hey ho, kind of hoping they do as Rangers are a much better side and I'd far more fancy us against hearts than them if we were both to progress to the semis or final.

Me too. Hearts won’t win the cup, I want them in the Semi.

Dundee utd away was the hardest draw any spl team got. Bsc was a decent draw but the wind was a great leveller. Our neighbours have twice got to cup finals without playing a top flight team. Now that's lucky.

Yep. But just remember, there will be all that debate about using Murrayfield for the game. Got to save all those troublesome Edinburgh types having to travel all the way to Glasgow for a game

Tbf I dont know of any club on earth whose fans moan more about a 42mile journey than ours.

Theres a lot of clubs & cities worldwide (some South London/Brighton derbies etc) where 42miles is just about the local derby

We seemed to get horrendous draws for a while, there’s no doubt the draw has been generous to us in recent years.

Avoiding Celtic and Rangers until the final almost every year since ~2012. That's good fortune in my book.

You do know we got Celtic in the QF last season..? And Tynecastle 3 seasons in a row before that.?! (2 when we were a Championship side.)

So what teams do you reckon have had bad fortune in the draws the past few years.?

Yes I'm fully aware, that's why I said most years. I would say that any team who's drawn Rangers or Celtic more than once in 8 years is less fortunate.

With Hibs and Hearts having home ties the weekend before a televised Tuesday night derby are one of us going to be playing Sunday then Tuesday?

Can they have a lunch time kick off at Tynie and us at 3pm on the same day?

Well we’ve met them twice in the past 8 years but that’s quite a little loose OF formula you’ve got going on in your rationale there. Do you think any team getting drawn in the early rounds to Tynecastle 3 years in a row (including Celtic and Rangers) would consider themselves fortunate.? I just dont see why any Hibs fan would say we’ve been lucky in the Scottish Cup draws in the past few years. Again, I’d ask who do you think amongst the Hearts and Aberdeens have had difficult draws..? We even had the hardest opening round against Dundee Utd a few weeks back that none of the other top teams would have relished.

We've been drawn against an OF side once since 2011, I don't have much memory of ties before then but that's long enough to prove my point. We've 'met' them in a couple of finals, but IMO we've done well to avoid them, more so than Hearts and Aberdeen, for example. We got all the way to the semi final without playing a top flight side back in 14/15 and have generally gotten ties that I would consider to be more favourible at this stage in the competition.

You're welcome to disagree with that, but I personally like that we've managed to avoid the OF for the most part over the last 9 years.

We've had great Scottish Cup draws in recent seasons.

Oh it’s the ‘“last 9 years’” now. Ok, well for a start, in most of that time, The Rangers can hardly have been considered a draw to dread for a lot of teams like Hibs, Hearts, Sheep, Utd, so that dilutes your theory by a significant percentage. Can I remind you we have met Celtic twice and Rangers once in an attempt to get our hands on the trophy.. (3 times in your 9 year theory)

The past 3 seasons alone since we’ve won it we’ve been put out by Hearts at Tynie, Aberdeen and Celtic. All difficult ties for any top team.

I’m assuming your comparison is against Hearts, but did you consider their run to the Final last year - and the fact they drew their rivals on their own home turf in that time.?

We played Hearts 4 times, Aberdeen once and Celtic once before the semi final stage.

Hearts played us 4 times, Aberdeen once and Celtic twice.

Aberdeen played Hibs, Hearts, Celtic and Rangers once.

Rangers played Aberdeen once.

Celtic played Hibs and Aberdeen once and Hearts twice.

We don't really get it easy do we? Our four toughest fixtures throughout a year and we have barely avoided all of them til the semi's apart from one season 2014/15.

To be fair, you can't really compare Hibs v Hearts with a South London/Brighton derby.

I does seem a bit strange to have two teams from one city, both travel 40 odd miles to play a match when there's a far better solution right on the door step. Also, are we not currently trying to save the planet? :greengrin

Last 9 years yes. I wasn't making a comparison, I very simply pointed out the factual statement that we have been drawn against the OF once since 2011, I'm happy about that. I don't know why it's been so upsetting to you, by no means does it mean we've had it easy in the Scottish Cup, but we absolutely have gotten some decent draws over the last 9 years, particularly in the latter stages of the competition.

I'd much rather play Hearts at Tynie or Aberdeen than I would Celtic or Rangers prior to the final round and we've done that 8 out of the last 9 years.

I didn't say we get it easy. I said we've been fortunate not to draw Celtic or Rangers most years. Particularly for a team that has gotten to the semi finals stage so often in recent times.

You would much rather play Aberdeen or Hearts at Tynie than The Rangers in most of those years you’re mentioning.? They were rank for at half those seasons.

I’m really not upset but bewildered as to why a Hibs fan would suggest we get an easy time in the Scottish Cup compared to others.

I understand why they won’t drop the pricing but we are rarely interested in actually trying to do anything a bit different which frustrates me.

does the same for me. no initiative, no real alteration or incentive to get more fans in. how about offering a way of giving attendees first chance at an extra semi-final ticket, if we get there? fill the bloody place!

This is a quarter final and I'd expect around 14k depending on when it's played, more if our results running up to the game are decent.

Dropping the price to £12, same as the Duncans' did, won't increase the attendance by a significant number and it certainly won't make financial sense so ICT won't agree anyway.

Hibs have tried lowering prices before, but the bodies haven't turned up.

This is true. The problem, if you want to call it that, is that the numbers who will turn up whatever the price (within reason) outweigh the people who will become interested when prices are lowered. So the marginal increase in attendance is low.

But that doesn't mean you can't try some other schemes for games like this. Low-price kids tickets, for example, or a 'bring a friend' scheme whereby season tickets can get a second ticket for a fiver, say.

Agree with this. The problem with Hibs giving out free tickets (such as bring a friend) is that we would need to pay ICT half the ticket price, so makes zero sense.
However agreeing with them to reduce prices to £15 for adults and £5 for senior citizens and kids sounds far more sensible.

Loads of us who don't live in Edinburgh and don't have season tickets will travel for the quarter final. Given that it'll cost a fair amount to get to the game, the ticket price isn't going to stop us going.

Introducing a £5 bring a friend sceme would merely lose Hibs £15 for each of us.

I agree, however, it would be great if something could be done to increase attendances, but we've been wrestling with this since the 70s and 80s when crowds were regularly around 4000.

We tried the £10 a ticket thing for a Saturday league game v ICT once (in 2011) and it did add to the attendance IIRC. This is the only time we’ve trialled it as far as I’m aware so is all the evidence we have? So not sure on what basis folk are arguing to the contrary?

I don't think taking a fiver off the admission would attract an extra 25 people to the game, never mind the 2500 or whatever it would need to make up the financial loss.

I'd imagine Hibs budget with a cup run in mind so that would impact on ticket prices. However, anything more than £20 and £10 for concessions would be extracting the urine if you ask me. Both teams will be benefitting from TV money as well.

The argument is that it doesn't make financial sense to slash prices.

It's also unfair on season ticket holders and has implications for future pricing should reductions happen on more than a one-off basis.

The previous ICT game at ER that season attracted a crowd of 11300 do by cutting the walk up price in half, the crowd increased by 2500.

It's a judgement call as to whether it was worth it for the extra bodies, but we took a hit financially.

We’re happy to write off other revenue streams which probably makes it all the more unlikely that costs will be reduced for the paying supporter.

FWIW, £20 for an adult is fine for a cup quarter final. I think it’s kids pricing they need to look at doing something about. Quite often going to away games they have good family deals on. Maybe because I haven’t had to look I’ve just missed them at Easter Road (I know kids can get decent priced season tickets) but not sure about walk up pricing.

How much are kids tickets?

I thought the session ticket packages were very good.

I was only arguing from the perspective of increased attendance, as others had mentioned reducing prices had no effect which is untrue.

If ticket price was the only reason fans were giving for not going, then you could see why having a think about pricing would be worthwhile. Problem is that even with “cheap” tickets, there will be many other excuses and reasons for not going along. It’s not a mouthwatering tie as such and it’s unlikely to be at 3pm Saturday, and if it’s on TV them there will be many reasons why tickets won’t be flying out of the shop.

Wee idea, bring a friend could give 10% off a ticket and £5 off a Hibs strip in the shop?

The SFA sets the ticket prices for these matches. If Hibs want to reduce the prices they would need ICT to agree, otherwise £22/£10 it will be.
The issue I have is Hibs fans blaming the club/Leeann for ticket prices when they may be powerless to reduce these.

The issue I have is Hibs fans blaming the club/Leeann for ticket prices when they may be powerless to reduce these.

For semi final and finals they set them. Never heard of them setting pricing for earlier rounds.

Is it?

How so?

Hibs can't set a Scottish Cup price without our opponents agreeing.

The sfa rules say Scottish cup games must be a minimum of £8. That’s all. They have nothing to do with whether Hibs and whoever agree £15 or £22.

Also thought both clubs have to agree pricing prior to semi and final

Partly true, as the rule also states:

“If the clubs are unable to agree, the charges which are normally made for the regular fixtures of the club at whose ground the match is to be played, will apply.”

They do need to agree the pricing otherwise the normal pricing applies.

So they definitely did agree for the BSC game then.

I wouldn’t say “definitely” but yeah it’s likely they did agree.

Well if they didn’t, they would have to have charged BSC’s usual prices, no?

Exactly and as I don’t know their pricing I wouldn’t say “definitely”.

Ultimately the point is both clubs need to agree the price otherwise it will be £22 for the QF

BSC obviously wanted to maximise the money they made. Hibs obviously happy to go with that. £20 to stand on a wee grass verge. Great value.

I see that the Motherwell v St Mirren replay has been priced at £12 adults, £6 concessions and £3 under 16's.

I bet the winners charge more when it's the quarter final.

Like the one we're through to.

It's a joke that just over two weeks before one of the games could potentially kick off we are still awaiting for the times/dates.

Just realised that there is a possibility of a Hibs v Aberdeen and Celtic v Hearts semi final draw. I think that's happened before in recent years, but have erased that year's competition from my memory banks.

Thoughts on another Hibs v Hearts final?

If Hearts beat Sevco, there is as much chance we would get them in the semi.........which in some ways I would prefer

Main focus is on Hibs being in the semi final. Don't care about the rest.

Still less than 6000 turned up. So this is the issue with reducing prices from £22 to £15. It doesn't increase the attendance and the clubs lose money so doesn't make any sense sadly.

Given his shocking treatment by the SFA and their contemptable processes should we give cup winning legend James Keatings a rousing reception when he takes to the field next week...and then pelters when ever he gets on the ball?

We should give him the applause he deserves but in the 80th min ,when he is getting subbed off and we’re winning 3-0 😉

If we applaud Keatings then he'll run to the wrong bench :wink:

Tickets booked for us. Looking forward to it. Not sure why I always leave these things to the last minute. Adds to the excitement I guess!

There was only 5,250 at the league fixture on Saturday 24th August. If we’re making one game conclusions would it not show that the lower prices actually increased the attendance?

Yeah but they would have taken in more money if they had 5250 at 22 quid.

True, I suppose the age old argument is about the short term boost to finances v trying to turn some of those extra fans into season ticket holders/regulars. The poster I quoted said the price had no effect on attendances when, taking that game in isolation, it would appear to have contributed to a small increase.

Yeah I agree that it would be nice if they prioritised attendances in terms of numbers but I can’t see clubs like Kilmarnock turning their noses up at 25-30k
