This is true. The problem, if you want to call it that, is that the numbers who will turn up whatever the price (within reason) outweigh the people who will become interested when prices are lowered. So the marginal increase in attendance is low.

But that doesn't mean you can't try some other schemes for games like this. Low-price kids tickets, for example, or a 'bring a friend' scheme whereby season tickets can get a second ticket for a fiver, say.
Loads of us who don't live in Edinburgh and don't have season tickets will travel for the quarter final. Given that it'll cost a fair amount to get to the game, the ticket price isn't going to stop us going.

Introducing a £5 bring a friend sceme would merely lose Hibs £15 for each of us.

I agree, however, it would be great if something could be done to increase attendances, but we've been wrestling with this since the 70s and 80s when crowds were regularly around 4000.
