Celtic and Rangers always get special treatment and thats one of the worst issues with the Scottish game. Utterly corrupt that those two are constantly granted the lions share of everything

"At least 10,000 of those so called Hibs supporters you speak of are no use to Hibs" - They would have been use to Hibs at a final and I bet a fair few buy strips/merchandise now and again. What about fans from abroad who are not regular walk ups but will make a special effort for finals?
"Celtic probably have 50,000 season ticket holders so it is only fair that there should be an attempt to give at least half of them the opportunity to attend the cup final ticket rather than giving them to Hibs to sell to people who are really not that bothered about Hibs or Scottish football week to week." Change Celtic/them to we/us and that is the type of nonsense I have been reading online from Celtic fans. Using your logic, why not only give Hibs 11k odd tickets for our season ticket holders and the rest of Hampden can be sold to Celtic season ticket holders, that way only a few thousand of their season ticket holders will miss out?
Allocation should be 50/50, anything not sold by us should go back for Celtic to sell. That said I reckon we'd have no bother selling out.

So Celtic are getting the whole North, East and most of the South stand.
Hibs.nets negative posting legend and unofficial ticket agent.

Such a bad decision on so many levels. Ticket prices are way too high, less than a week before Christmas in a time that is already expensive for football fans. The allocation is a disgrace and in a final where both clubs can sell out their allocation there is no justification for not being 50/50. Number if season ticket holders is a total irrelevance.
The celtic/rangers end thing is also a disgrace, no other national association would pander to clubs like that.
The fact that Hubs are indicating that they asked for 50/50 and have clearly been told to gtf makes it worse. The governing body clearly favouring one club over another in a national cup final is not a good look

I could see their point in not giving us a 50/50 split if we failed to sell out our allocation for cup finals but that’s never been the case
An absolute incredible decision.
One I hope we aren’t taking lying down as it sets a dangerous precedent moving forward

Why don’t they allocate 50/50, with a deadline and any tickets not sold can be allocated to the other team by the deadline? How can they justify giving us significantly less without trying that option?

It’s hard to argue against a 50% split when it is supposed to be “neutral venue” , however at the end of the day everybody that attends Hibs games on a regular basis will get a ticket and get behind the team, that’s the main thing.

Scandalous decision, cup finals should be 50 - 50 split.
When was the last time we never sold out a cup final ? Semi final attendance has no bearing on the final.
Searched but can’t find details of the lesser greens allocation, suspect when / if it’s announced it will be some nonsense like 27000 with the rest going to sponsors etc although we all know where they will end up.
17500 less what club staff get plus tickets for players families , sponsors etc will take a few of total.
11500 season ticket holders , fully expecting email from the club if you buy a half season ticket it guarantees cup final ticket, I don’t think there be will that many for any type of public sale.
There could be a few who attended yesterday that end up without a ticket for the final.

Believe it or not some of the day trippers were at the match yesterday but now it will be more difficult for them to get tickets with the reduced allocation.
The danger with accepting this is that if you apply the logic about semi final tickets we don’t deserve any more than 10,000 for the final and should therefore be happy accepting that and allowing them to have 40,000.

This decision stinks and the SPFL should be ashamed.

Folk forget that the SPFL are the clubs and the clubs are the SPFL so Hibs and it's owner are art and part of any conspiracy to part us from our cash.
The real reason for everything including the ticket allocation and ticket prices is to ensure maximum revenues moving forward for the SPFL and therefore indirectly Hibs.
The clubs lost a lot of money last season and are taking an opportunity here to grab some of it back.
As for the ticket allocation the SPFL is just doing what Hibs do to ensure Old Firm supporter income on an ongoing basis.
They know that Rangers and/or Celtic will generally be in the League Cup Final and their supporters are a safe bet to buy every ticket you offer them.
Accordingly if they give them the lions share of the tickets they will have an easy sell out at future finals no matter who their opponents are in the final.
P.S. Lots of folk upset about our ticket allocation numbers but predictably few tears over a real scandal which is kids 16 and over having to pay adult pricesLast edited by CMurdoch; 22-11-2021 at 06:31 PM.

The argument that Celtic had bigger crowds than Hibs in earlier rounds is irrelevant.
A cup final should be neutral- end off.
All clubs should get the opportunity to sell the same amount of tickets. However if a club thinks they won’t then fair enough.
Celtic having a bigger support doesn’t entitle them to an advantage in a final

I would rather see our fans even those who do not attend regularly at the cup final, than any of them. By your logic Celtic should get 40000 tickets and Hibs 10000. We all know that the uglies support is based on bigotry so the less bigots at a cup final the better.
