Must be a mistake surely. Cant imagine OAP's arent able to get a concession rate.

There's no "concession" category for these sales though, it's purely age related. U16 cheap, over that age £25 (which is a very fair price IMO, but anyway)

Seems strange to me if that is the case.

Hmmm, so you are being asked to pay an extra £3 over ER walk up price for a cup final. Pensioners, like me, are being asked to pay an extra £13, but all is well, aye? Seem fair to you, does it?

But you as a pensioner can get to the game for zero cost. So, whilst other adults will pay £35-40 to see the game you will manage it for £25. Not too shabby IMHO.

I think pricing in general for Scottish football is over priced, for all of us! However, as I mentioned earlier they've obviously decided to reduce the standard ticket price with the expectation that pensioners will be willing (for these one off games) to pay the same adult rate. If they'd charged £35 for an adult ticket and £15 for an oaps there would have also been an uproar, they can't please everybody I guess. I would however say that if anyone is struggling to find another £13 to attend a football game then their financial priorities should lie elsewhere and that should apply to supporters of all ages.

5 points or 100 points, there has to be a point in having loyalty points and these guys should be given the chance to buy tickets before any general sale (after ST holders of course).

Where do we draw the line with season tickets and entry to any other game?
Why change the rules for the League Cup semi and final?

It's a cup final ffs. I would pay double that to watch Hibs in the final. If it's too expensive for you then don't go. Why does everything on here always turn into a moaning session 🙄🔫

IMO I would only have two "waves", season ticket holders and then general sale.

8,000 season ticket holders with 2 each would still only amount to 16000 even if every season ticket holder took up their second ticket option and lets face It there will be several thousand additional tickets made available after the initial 25,800.

What ever the allocation I don't think there will be a panic over getting a ticket

Seems a decent simple enough option

Are you under the misapprehension that trains are free for pensioners, or are you seriously suggesting that I should get a few buses to Hampden?

[Gmack7]

Is there a designated family section or are all areas the same for kids prices

[EH54]

Looks like all areas are the same price this time around

That is precisely the type of reply that made me say at the outset that most people wouldn't care.

Unfair and uncalled for IMO. Pensioners have a limited income and so it's a fair point to raise. I can think of no reason why the category of concessions applied by Hibs for a game at ER shouldn't be available for this game.

I hope there will be. My young son was nearly put off for life during the 4-3 falkirk semi when there was no designated family section. . The fighting, arguing and general idiotic behaviour of a few around us had him terrified.

[EH54]

Personally i think it is shocking that they don't have concession prices and would go as far as to offer discounted tickets for unemployed and low earners however that's a different issue altogether. mim has a point, a point that shouldn't exist in the first place

Completely agree. Dont understand it if that isnt the case.

Going from Kirkcaldy then you can get a bus straight to Glasgow. There's a X27 leaving Kirkcaldy at 11:35, arriving into Glasgow at Half One. You then have plenty time to get down to Hampden on any number of buses from there.

After the game there's a bus at 18:00 that gets you back into Kirkcaldy at 8.

Those times look absolutely perfect for your day out at Hampden and, at zero cost, it means that the cost your day out is considerably lower than for other adults.

I think it's a bit of a generalisation that pensioners have limited income. Same can be said of adults. Not all have a decent income.

Yep many pensioners have loads of dosh right enough 😉

Edit: Bloody phone is useless or maybe it's me

I meant to add that it seems a logical assumption to make that mim ain't raising this for anything other than having good reason to

I think you'll find that there is no guarantee of any better behaviour in the family section based on previous experience!

Most pensioners I know are minted.

I'm surprised there's no price structure for different groups and I think the tickets are expensive if there isn't. It seems strange there's no family ticket or no cheaper tickets for considerably worse seats behind the goals. It won't put me off as I'll get a good seat and can afford it but I can see it taking considerable numbers off the gate for the people who may have been tempted to take the family but have second thoughts when adding it all up.

There may still be more to come out before they go on sale but I can't see it selling out at these prices.

Indeed. I'm fairly certain there was a family section at that game (£5 a kid rings a bell) but because the tickets were cheaper it also attracted a number of numpties.

Aye i know what you're saying, also experienced this in family sections but generally less extreme. A group of lads or whatever having a day out on the bevy looking for their version of "atmosphere" are less likely to buy tickets in a family section if there is one.

It was cheap for kids but anyone could buy anywhere in the east at those prices (15 and 5). Where as at the celtic final there was a section which you could only buy tickets in if you were buying a child ticket within your group.

This is true, but completely misses the point that the pricing structure for football had always included pensioner concessions. Are you suggesting this should be done away with, because others are also on low incomes?

The way thing have always been change sometimes.

I'd do away with it. Plenty pensioners out there on very decent public sector and final salary pensions.

You get poorer pensioners, you get poorer working age adults too.

The ticket price has been set. £25 is a bit steep for pensioners but you could look at the great value you get at every Hibs home game. I hope no older fan misses out but if there's an issue in sure .net can come up with a solution

Yeah if there's any genuine issues with not being able to pay for their ticket then I'd happily chip in to help out.

I know how much my late grandad would have loved to attend this game so if there are issues then count me in to help out.
