    The Ticket Gold Rush in the morning

    Just after the one for one of the family.

    I'll be logged on my laptop, tablet, ipad and phone in a desperate attempt to secure said ticket.

    May the best man (or woman of course) win.

    Why are you queueing up? Surely a call or internet is a lot more sensible than standing for over 3 hours in the cold?

    But the 1000 tickets are on sale 3 ways, through the website, phone or TO. There has been nothing put out by Hibs saying the TO has put any aside for any particular way of buying a ticket. So why queue up for 3 hours?

    But how is queueing up guaranteeing a ticket? Hibs will not stop selling tickets online or by phone if there's a big queue.

    The last time I joined one of the big ticket office queues was probably around ten years ago. After around half an hour of waiting I realised how dumb it was, and phoned the ticket office while in the queue, bought tickets, then simply wandered up to the collection window.

    I don't know the exact figure or percentage but there are only so many available to buy online or over the phone. They definitely keep the majority for walk ups,and for good reason.

    I have none too find memories of spending a night in the famous five stand to get tickets for the Kilmarnock final, 2007.

    It'll be a sair fecht. Good luck to those queuing.

    Surely they just sell them as they go, once purchased the system reduces the balance avaiable.

    They take a head count if the queue is getting too big and tell people to stop queuing, everyone up there will get a ticket.

    They did that in the days before on-line sales but as mentioned before I'd have thought that whatever avenue a ticket is bought through it would just be one less to sell.

    Well done to those in the que (its bloody freezing). I would prefer to take my chance in the que as opposed to the dodgy online system that is liable to crash and freeze at times.

    Noses are Red
    My feet have turned Blue
    But it will all be worth it
    When I get to the front of this Q


    Good luck to everyone who has spent hours out in these conditions
    If it was up to me you would all get one for following the Leith Motto Perseverance .

    Your being pedantic.

    If your 5th-10th in the que you'll be guranteed a ticket. Standing in a queue for 3-4hrs will be a small price to pay
