Who are the corporate f*****s people talk about? Is it even a thing?

Is it the sponsors? Always wondered who “corporate” are.

People who pay £300 plus for tickets with a bit average food chucked in 🥸

Any time there’s a big game where tickets are in demand, a sizeable chunk are skimmed off and passed to all sorts.

You can win tickets to England v Scotland in Just Eat, but there will be very few tickets available for people who actually follow the national team home and away.

And if you’re a hun whose mum stays next door to someone who works for BT, you’ll probably find yourself getting a ticket for this cup final before a Hibs season ticket holder.

Fair shout.

Discussions still ongoing with SFA - club is aware of all of our views and strongly pushing the issue for fans (echoes a lot of what Jack Ross said to the press on Friday) - https://www.scotsman.com/sport/footb...erator-3227432

Very clear that everyone is wanting more to be done - all options should be explored (with creative and flexible thinking) to ensure supporters are admitted on May 22nd.

I’ll communicate more at the right moment/once I’m more informed.

If it comes to pass it would be good to know how many tickets are available in the ballot once players, staff, sponsors and Edinburgh Club members (if that's what it's still called) are taken care of.

There's some genuine Hibs fans who have to do that as their only way to get tickets and be with their mates as they're not season ticket holders.

In the great who gets a ticket debates that arise from time to time I've always felt season ticket holders should get priority and because it's been touch and go for getting a ticket have bitten the bullet and gone with hospitality as a private individual, many good Hibbies do.

Your profile says you're in New Zealand? Surely the time difference means kick off will be at 2am your time?

Definitely right about the Huns, we had a bit of a disagreement at the 2016 final with a right obnoxious guy who was ejected by a steward after the first goal.

He was sitting on the very end of the press bit right in front of us and kept hurling abuse at the guy behind, the steward said he was a guest of one of the BBC's party.

Guy was arguing with the police on the way out as well.

Think it is a pretty minimal issue in the Scottish game. It is a pretty small number of tickets that go to other clubs and sponsors for finals.

Sponsorship is an important part of funding and promoting the game though and fair enough for small numbers of tickets to be used in this way.

Hampden for me, fans or no fans.

Not good to know, essential. This is the perfect time for Hibs and St Johnstone to show loyalty to the FANS and no one else.

Away season ticket holders should get priority over season ticket holder part timers tbh

Am I right in saying there are no away season ticket holders this season?

[CapitalGreen]

If there is anyway to get fans in they should do it, even if it involves a change of venue.

How many season tickets did we sell for this season? Even if we were only given 5000 you’d have at least a 50% chance surely if you’re a ST holder?

Will Nicola want to follow Boris on this?

You still had to sign up for the away season ticket this season .If a game becomes available that fans can attend then anybody who signed up should be given the opportunity to purchase a ticket. There are only about 300 of us so would not impact too much if we were given 5000 tickets

I don’t think the issue here is with the Scottish gvt. It’s just a hampden is in the hands of eufa issue is it not?

A fair point, and probably true.

I do quite like a pile-on on the corporates though, even if I’ve hypocritically accepted a prawn sandwich or two myself in the past.

There is a limit on the number of people who can go to outdoor events. Boris has increased it to up to 10,000 in England.Nicola has to increase the number in Scotland.

My dad got it as a gift for me after they had a cancellation (guy coming from America cancelled due to covid)

So, yeah Il be all day on the river Tay in a bloody boat - might ruin the ambience but I'm no caring

I'm guessing I might be able to get it on sky go on my phone

2016 cup final I bought me and my dad hospitality...and this is the thanks I get!

I had ‘renewed’ my AST. I’m sure Hibs firmed up the T&Cs around the away season ticket last year about how you were committed to all games (think they’d had a lot of folk just stopping paying the previous year under Hecky).

Boris has made it 10,000 or 50% (whichever is lower), however can still apply for more. NS wouldn’t have to increase our limits, just needs a one off agreement based on safety advice. Would expect that to be what will happen.

10k for big venues like Wembley. 4k for smaller venues or 50% capacity whichever is smaller.

It didn’t cost a bolt to sign up for it so no need to give priority.

It’s still a commitment and a good way to prioritise the most dedicated supporters.

If we get tickets let’s hope Hibs remember AST holders👍

Presumably same will happen for Lions/Japan at Murrayfield.
