Semi-final on Saturday @ Tynie

**MB62** · 13-11-2015 02:09 PM

Saturday 30th January at Tynecastle v St. Johnstone.

3.00pm kick off

It's going to be a mad scramble for tickets for this one now.

**smithy_hibees** · 13-11-2015 02:38 PM

Way it should be.. no point having a half empty stadium for a semi final, looks terrible

Sits back contented.......closer to home and ticket guaranteed.

It won't be a popular opinion around here but I actually love Tynecastle.

Given I only set foot in it when it is either a derby or semi-final the atmosphere is always brilliant.

A semi-final is a big game and it's devalued when it is played in a half-empty echoey national stadium.

Excellent decision.

Great city, great pubs, great day out.

Disappointing that the turds will get a small financial benefit but hey-ho.

How manty loyalty points will guarantee a ticket?

**Famous Fiver** · 13-11-2015 03:06 PM

many not manty.

I mind being in that death trap of a stand against Utd in 93 ( think ) how the fluck that's still in use now I don't know . Wonder if there will be a family area ,like there is for Hampden .

Avoid the main stand. How those primitive muppets can sit in such conditions in 2015 is beyond me. Like lunatic in an asylum lying in their own excrement. Deranged.

**NAE NOOKIE** · 13-11-2015 03:28 PM

ST Holders followed by HSL folk with points from signing up and cup ticket and away ticket points but who don't have a ST. But its likely that the vast majority of ST / HSL and away match points holders are going to be ST holders anyway.

I guess that will account for about 8,500 leaving a general sale of 2,500 to 3,500 tickets ?

Only reason that stands still in use will be down to the City of Edinburgh Council turning a blind eye - infested with Jambo's willing to help their club through the years of tax avoidance and administration.

Would expect St J's to get the Roseburn and us the rest of the stadium. Think in 2007 there was family section in the Gorgie Stand for us.

***Hibby70*** · 13-11-2015 03:36 PM

Anyone know the capacities for each stand? Obviously taking into account the numerous tiers of each stand and the new hotel dining options adjoining the new main stand.

***Diclonius*** · 13-11-2015 03:37 PM

My Dad has considerably less loyalty points than me (both ST holders though) so hopefully the allocation of tickets won't be stratified to a huge amount like it was away to Rangers. Don't want to end up in that godawful Main Stand again.

Which they daubed 1-5 on the walls of Easter Rd with, whilst using our Stadium if im correct.
They truly are a breed apart from humanity.

We will get more tickets than ST holders so it'll be ST holders first and foremost. The scramble will be after that.

**GreenCastle** · 13-11-2015 03:44 PM

Yup the stand behind the goals was the family stand last time.

**GreenArmy1875** · 13-11-2015 03:45 PM

What about half season tickets?

***Billy Whizz*** · 13-11-2015 03:45 PM

Is there is a chance st Johnstone may want the Roseburn and half of the main stand?

I'd imagine the initial threshold will be set at whatever number a ST holder will have. That will allow us to sit where we want and then it will be lowered accordingly until we sell out.

That's one thing you won't be doing if you are in their grandstand.

HSL points not awarded until Feb, so depends how many half season tickets are sold............

**~~BOB MARLEYS DUG~~** · 13-11-2015 03:50 PM

Buzzing for this. Camannnn!!

**NAE NOOKIE** · 13-11-2015 03:52 PM

4 of us have been to all the League cup ties, but bought tickets from the pods, luckily we are all long standing ST holders

On that note .......... why cant you take a ticket stub bought at the pods to the ticket office at a later date to hand over and have the points added to your account?

Maybe to stop somebody who hasn't been to the game using a stub that has already been credited with loyalty points?

**NadeAteMyLunch!** · 13-11-2015 03:54 PM

Laavely. A good day out on the sauce with the boys followed by a short jaunt home afterwards-happy days. I'll be hoping to sit in the stand opposite the asbestos one(Wheatfield?) Will we still congregate at the Roseburn pub if Saints get the Roseburn stand or will we need to find somewhere else? I've heard Robertson's has a lovely warm, family vibe going on?

hibs twitter just posted a video of benji's goal in the semi final from 2007. had forgotten what a brilliant finish that was.

Love the attitude?????

I would rather pay and travel instead of feeding the Jambo's money while depriving Hibbies a game.

Anyway I will be there.....freeby's Home or away end hahahaha.

That hazardous tip of a bus shelter is a good cup ground for us - I was at the 1 nil semi victory against Dundee in 1967 (Ali McGraw), both SC victories against the Yams in the 70's, Utd in 1993, St Johnstone in 2007.., long may it continue...

That's one of my favourite ever Hibs goals.

Benji didn't half come up with an end product when it mattered during that semifinal (not to mention the final).
