LC Final Tickets

We never sold 20,000 for the semi in 2013, or 2016 for that matter.

On both occasions we still received 50% for the final.

As mentioned above, this will now be the standard allocation, probably even decreasing over time.

Shafted once again.

I know. I understand all of this. We should not be getting less than 50%. The point is, by selling 10k 3 times in a row, we've made it easy for them.


I agree, this is the way they want to go. I can see it being standard from now on too. Its ****ing shameful.

It wouldn’t make sense but it’s what I’ve been told after a mate who had an AST was allocated 2.

Think he’s at it, all the AST fans got an email today, saying they could only get one ticket per AST

He might be trying to get me back from a wind up at the last cup final but seems a boring way to do it.

It's not true - AST get 1 ticket, as they should. Not sure how anyone could want 2? If they want to sit with friends / family they have to come out of the scheme for this game.

I think your pal is telling porkies.

[AliboyFC]

If we sell our allocation will we be entitled to more tickets? Idk why they couldn't just give us half the stadium ffs. Spfl is an absolute joke.

Yeah it wouldn’t make sense but we’ll see when they confirm.

Worst wind up ever if it’s not the case.

Nope. I had to opt out of it for the final to sit with my mate/s

What I meant was friends/family of existing season tickets holders, and AST being able to sit together. We are taking about a few people here
It’s a pain in the ass of a scheme, for club and fans, costs the fans money on the odd occasion if you are ill and can’t go

You can do that though. Just opt out of the scheme and buy tickets with your ST holding friends and family like the rest of us. Your still guaranteed a ticket

[Leith's finest]

It won't affect myself, but I hope that people who left the £89 the season covid kicked in will get a chance for tickets. At the time L.Dempster said they would be looked after

West--13,000
East--12,800
North--9,100
South--17,000

so we must be getting just 4,500 for the South to start with


if we possibly get more it's either in the North or South, possibly part of both stands maybe ?are sellick definitely starting to sell C1-C5 first in the North stand, we've saw segregation in the North for other games

We won’t get any of the North. It can only be segregated in the middle or at either end

it's probably already been discussed i guess, it's probably for the cameras as well and any more tickets we get will therefore be in the South then

This is a sensitive subject.

Can we please refrain from posting inflammatory misinformation regarding ticketing. By all means debate the subject at hand but at a time when a lot of people will be concerned about the arrangements please think twice before posting.

If both clubs get 4500 in the South that leaves 8000 for all the sponsors, hospitality, other clubs etc.
We ain't getting anymore in my opinion.

[The Pointer]

I have also written to Hibs on this iniquitous topic and will let you know if I receive a reply.

It makes me so angry but does not in the least bit surprise me. Who would just think that there would be any other way than a 50/50 split?

be interesting to know how many have a Debenture or whatever they're called, i think it's a cert it will mostly be old firms that have them as they're both there so often, which probably explains why their were sevco fans above hibs fans in the south, the SFA have no way of knowing which team a debenture holder supports, no sure how they things work, you may be right re 17.5k being enough but i think we will need more, tough one for families though a week before santa comes we may end up returning some of the 17.5k

You can bet your bottom dollar that Celtic fans will get their mits on at least 5,000 of those 8,000. It'll be a reversal of the 2007 final where we had 30,000 and Killie got 18,000 and that left about 3,000 League officials, sponsors ect. Plus around 1,000 unused for segregation.

Yeah sorry - to clarify he didn’t get 2 tickets through the AST. He managed to move from the allocated seat though and was told it would be 2 per head.

[Lancs Harp]

Regardless, Celtic be prepared to be totally outsung and btw we're taking the cup back to Edinburgh.

Guaranteed this is the case. I know quite a few old firm fans who have debentures. It’s the only way they could guarantee a cup final ticket.

Debenture holders get the chance of a seat in a particular category but not a specific seat. They get asked which team they want it for and the segregation gets adjusted accordingly. There are 4000 odd of them.

Just had the template email response from Doncaster telling me that Hibs took 37k in a crowd if 45k v Livingston for a League Cup Final. What a shambles the SPFL are.

The attendance that day (according to Wikipedia) was 45500.
Somebody cannae count.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I shall try to be objective and see it from the point of view of the Old Firm. They have several times the number of season ticket holders than all other clubs; thus, for a game at Hampden a fifty-fifty split means some of their ST holders miss out, whilst an occasional match-going fan of their opponent gets a ticket. Is that fair? No.

On the other side of the coin, a final at the national stadium is meant to be a neutral venue, not like a home game for the Old Firm, and the policy has always been a fifty-fifty split, with more tickets going to one club when the other can't sell their allocation. This is a fundamental aspect of a cup final and has always worked well, so why has it been changed??

Give us half the tickets initially. Then, if we don't sell them all, allow Celtic to have the remainder. This has always worked. Are we know always going to have cup final crowds dominated by the Old Firm?

If this is the concern, they could have done:

Hibs: 100% of North plus section B in West = approx. 15K tickets + option of selling in A = approx 21K tickets
Celtc: 100% East plus non-hosp/deb South = approx. 21K tickets

That way, both clubs get equal access to "good" seats as well.

Or they could’ve just held onto half the north (my least favoured option but if needs must for fairness) and once we sell behind the goals out we get that 50%, if we don’t then it gets handed over. It’s 4 weeks until the game, two weeks to sell them, if not celtic get them. I’d take 1/10 of his salary to make that decision.

[Liberal Hibby]

The Hibs v Kilmarnock final attendance in 2007 has not been bettered by any other final tie since - including every Celtc/Sevco final. It's 3,000 higher than the Killie v Celtic final in 2012.
