Haven't been to a game since the cup final 2016 but does anyone have a spare?

Unfortunately Premier Sports will set the kick off time. Sunday's game came on just after F1 grand prix finished which they had live. Depends what's on in EPL that day. Games in EPL at 12 and 2, so will go for 4pm kick off.
Sky sports app has it as a 4pm kick off :dunno:
Sure my mate said in the past 3 years it’s 3pm, 3pm and 2pm last year
My fotmob app had it at 7.30.
Better not be! Ha.
2pm last year from what I can see, hopefully it's a 3pm this year.Quote:

Years ago it used to be in December. They wanted it over before the Scottish Cup started. 1972 for example.
The glut of European football changed it.
Actually quite like it being in December. Will be great just before Xmas if we win it.
Presume they’ll let us know once they make the drawQuote:

I quite like getting it out the way early. Means games delayed due to adverse weather, etc are less prevalent and you've a better chance at a clear run, it's difficult enough with our covid outbreak causing delays in December.Quote:

They do make a draw Jim, see who gets the home dressing room😀Quote:

Hibernian are to receive and initial allocation of 12,000 tickets and Celtic will receive 21,000 with a view to more depending on Hibernians sales.
Celtic fans will be housed the East end of Hampden, the traditional ‘Celtic’ end while Hibernian fans will occupy the West end of Hampden with tickets for their fans being available in the West stand only to begin with the South stand upper and lower and North stands being held back should sales exceed the initial 12,000 allocated.
Prices for tickets are as follows. East/West stands £40, North stand £50 and the South stand upper and lower £60. Details of when tickets are on sale will be posted on club websites in the coming days.
No danger that's the ticket prices.
There’s no way these prices are correctQuote:

If so read the information.

As if an official statement would call the East stand the "Celtic end", let alone the stupid kick off time and ticket prices. Wise up.
Looks legit 😆
Guess it depends on who sent you it.Quote:

An outrage, that goes against the principle dating back several years of equal split where both teams can sell them.
Well that’s totally different to the “leak”. 17500 tickets is poor but hard to argue when we only sold 10k for the semi.Quote:

Aye other than kick off time, the allocation and the prices it was pretty spot on 😁.Quote:

Well done to those who couldn't be arsed for the last 3 semis, this is the consequence. These *******s will take any chance to **** us over and we've given it to them.
But we will sellout a full allocation for a final no problem.Quote:

Way to go SPFL, way to bugger up a National Final.

Quite reasonable I think
It allows the 10000+ who attended yesterday to get a ticket and an extra 6500 for the fans who genuinely couldn’t make but attend Easter Road regularly!
I went yesterday but won’t be able to make the final due to train times and pre booked Manchester Christmas markets so it’s one ticket more.
Great day yesterday worth the journey
How's the post by Hermit Crab legit if the information on kick off time, ticket allocation and also ticket price is all wrong?Quote:

Its not reasonable at all. Cup finals should be 50/50 splits and if either side cant sell all their tickets it should be handed to the other side. Thats an embarrassment from the SPFL but entirely unexpected from those old firm loving parasites.Quote:

Aye but the SPFL will give Celtic more tickets than Hibs for a neutral final held in Glasgow where Celtic have a home end and more fans. Low semi final turnout or not - it’s not acceptable.
Absolute joke. Let's get this cup won Hibs and **** the lot of them.
"only" 10k is in line with what we normally take, & more than other similar sized clubs (Hearts/Aberdeen) have done without having final allocation cut. Its supposed to be a neutral venue FFS.Quote:

Absolute joke.
We’ve always taken smaller crowds to a semi final. Can’t ever recall having our allocation cut for a final though.
It’s just bias, as simple as that. Think it ‘only’ leaves is about 4K short of what we’d get in an even split but it’s not the point.
They did this to Aberdeen for their last league cup final against Celtic. In all fairness I’m not sure they sold it out. We could sell 30k no problem though and the evidence from our recent final crowds shows that.Quote:

Part of me however as bias and shocking SFA are can’t help but think we’ve only ourselves to blame when we take such a size support as yesterday. I know people have genuine reasons not to go etc so not one for getting into all of that. But with this game also a Sunday people will now still fall over themselves to ensure they can go when some wouldn’t have bothered yesterday.
Yeah sorry I didn't make it yesterday, this is all down to me, fire in lads.....Quote:

Its that mentality that lets the old firm and spfl do what they want.
It’s a national final and should always be a 50/50 split unless one club can’t sell there allocation.
It’s time for clubs to stand up to them.
It's nothing to do with the individual.Quote:

Why, they are different games? A final is not a semi. People fly from Australia and America for finals, not for semis. It’s the pinnacle of the tournament and there’s only two a season in Scotland.Quote:

It goes to the heart of neutrality. Sell tickets to Celtic if we can’t sell the (we won’t) but don’t give us a paltry number of tickets.

A final should be an equal split.
Hibs are more than capable of selling 21K for a final and we have proven it time and time again. 50/50 should be standard practice for a game at a neutral venue unless one club declines.
Yes, we only got 10K for the Semi, but the game was essentially a home game for the OF and they were heavy favourites.
I'm fairly confident we would sell out - although prices are higher than usual.
I don’t see how that’ll be the case. This is only the SPFL and when we sell out this allocation quickly we’ll be able to point to it in the future and show that it wasn’t enough.Quote:

100 percent this….individuals can moan all they want, but our semi final sales have led to this……and it will be hard to change going forward .Quote:

We've sold out every final we've played at hampden in my lifetime and we would certainly do so again. Disgrace of a decision by the SPFL and absolutely NOT the fault of Hibs fans in any way, shape or formQuote:
