Quite a number, especially with almost 5 days left.

Fans amazing as always!

Going to be a great atmosphere in the Hibs end...just imagine us winning the game...

[JeMeSouviens]

For a 12.15 ko and the game on BBC & Sky it's pretty amazing.

At least now we know the answer to the perennial question "how do we get Hibs fans to attend more matches?" was "win the damn cup already!"

[hibbysam]

Great going, however still curious as to where the 3000 spare tickets are. Especially when it says they are spread over the East, North and South Lower... The online planner shows a matter of less than 500 tickets left I think, so where are these other 2500 tickets?

[NAE NOOKIE]

Absolutely fantastic effort ...... less than 3,000 tickets left and still three and a half days to go ............ c'mon guys and gals lets sell it out !!!

Though as Hibbysam above points out ..... if you look at the seating plan its a bloomin' mystery as to where nearly 3,000 seats are supposed to come from, because the dot count looks a lot less than that

I believe some of the front rows in the East have never been on sale.

Maybe they had a couple of thousand south upper as a last resort ... I mean why wouldn't you keep back the best seats in the stadium as a contingency?

Looks like a flock of only 12,000 sheep.

Turn this into a home game. Well Hampden is our second home these days!

You can buy a ticket in the front row of G4 at the moment, so presumably the rest of this row was on sale..

G6 is missing the first 4 rows which is 47 seats though, and those spread across the 14 sections would give around 700 or so.

As I said great support and following but at this stage I would rather the club just chucked all tickets available on sale to buy as it's not like we are now needing to send tickets back or worry about TV cameras when they place is virtually full at our end.

That would be fine if the statement didn't say the original 21000 was spread over the South Lower, North and East

[we are hibs]

Could be looking at a crowd of 32k+

got to love Armageddon

If you click on it, it's row D, so the planner isn't showing A-C. I think these tickets were held back for last year's final until everything else was sold.

Edit: as you say A-C is there but greyed out in G6 - weird.

I didn't even try that lol. Very strange seating plan and makes sense if a lot of the lower rows are empty. I don't mind sitting behind the goals but bugger sitting in row A.

Best mate (who's a Jambo of sorts)... has been encouraged to bring his wife and impressionable 16 YO lad along with my family.... the hibee family is growing and growing. It's an excellent time for this club.

A great effort from our fans

Because they don't give a **** about the paying fans, as long as the stadium looks full on TV.

[Waxy]

My goodness. We're doing a fantastic impression of a club that's not only very much alive, but the third biggest club in Scotland.

[JimBHibees]

Whatever way you put it 18000 is a superb support for a 1215 kick off game which is live on both sky and bbc. Fnatastic effort.

Not a very strong sort I assume haha!

Here's hoping we capture the lads imagination!

[greenlex]

Killed as a club just a few short years ago.

[Hibby70]

Statement is saying under 3000 tickets and only in East Stand. I can only assume that they have a huge chunk printed off for window sales as there's nowhere near that amount on the planner.

[we are hibs]

i may be wrong but I'm sure tickets were on sale for last seasons semi at ticket pods around the ground. Maybe the SFA have kept tickets back for that?

Highly doubt it. That was purely down to the fact that both ends were less than 50% full, resulting in over 30000 tickets left available. This year, in the Hibs end anyway, there is very little left and I'd imagine the SFA/PS would rather know who was buying tickets in advance rather than from ticket pods. They certainly won't be intentionally keeping them back, the only way they'd be on sale if there was any left over.

[HibsNutter]

Someone said they were selling tickets from row D upwards, will the bottom few rows be left till last to sell?

They need somewhere to house all the additional stewards and crowd control 'tape'

Exactly this. A normal 3pm kick off time may have seen a Hibs sell out. Even so, it's more than our home sections hold at ER. Won't be too far off 19k Hibs fans there on Saturday.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Had a peek at the Aberdeen forum. Seems a few are crapping it.
