LC Final Tickets

There will be no public sale as in the past season ticket holders have been offered more than one ticket. I have no sympathy for fans of these other teams missing out on finals
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.

Season ticket holders won’t get offered more than one ticket this year. You’d end up with the risk of a season ticket holder missing out and that’s not going to happen.

One each then public sale for whatever is left.

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 prices

I paid adult prices at football as soon as I was 16, as did most of us I'd imagine

I'm not really getting the argument about that being the major issue.

I know it's a different body was using it for reference. It's a cup final so tournament should be irrelevant. We have had to wait for the other teams livi and killie to sell their allocations before being offered more tickets but original allocation was on half of the stadium.

I'm in agreement and used it as a reference myself earlier in the thread. I have no issue with 17.5k tickets if there is a sell those by date to receive the rest of our allocation that takes us up to 50%.

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.

The idea that we wouldn't sell 21,000 for a cup final is nonsense IMHO, so I don't think your argument stands up to scrutiny, particularly when we've sold at least that amount for every final we've been in since I was born.

I know its a big ask, but holy ****, this shambles will make a Hibs victory so, so sweet. 17k or 75k, Sunshine on Leith after beating those *******s will be so satisfying.

[Since452]

Let's just beat these ***** then they can watch 17500 of us celebrating.

[lord bunberry]

I have to say I’m absolutely gutted to see those prices. £88 the week before Christmas is going to be a tough ask. I’ve not missed a final since I was old enough to be able to go, but right now I can’t see me being able to make it.

[Montford]

It’s got Doncaster’s grubby prints all over it.
Absolutely been got at by the Celtic board.
Do not be fooled, Celtic demanded these extra tickets the minute the final whistle went yesterday.
The SPFL should be able to make the allocation independently of any clubs requests.
Why the f*** does our club accept this?

Well that’s totally different to the “leak”. 17500 tickets is poor but hard to argue when we only sold 10k for the semi.

I really think they should take in to consideration that fans outside the arse cheeks don’t live a few miles from Hampden, so it impacts ticket sales

[Hibs4185]

Sorry if it’s already been asked but are Hibs getting any hospitality or offering any?

[Since452]

When did semi final tickets sold become a gauge for the allocation for the final? We sold about 5k semi finals tickets in 2004 and sold almost 40k tickets for the final. The two games are completely different. Finals are a bigger occasion.

What a bizarre post from a Hibs fan. You would genuinely want more Celtic fans there than Hibs fans?

"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?
The guy said Hibs could sell 30,000 tickets and I said 10,000 of those supporter are no use to Hibs because they don't provide meaningful financial support.
We currently have 11,100 season ticket holders and 2,000 walk ups at the average game. Given those figures are you telling me there are more than 20,000 folk financially supporting Hibs in a meaningful way
"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?
We have heard what Hibs supporters think i.e we should get a 50/50 split of the tickets
We have heard what Celtic supporters think i.e. we have 50,000 season ticket holder and you only have 11,000 so we should get a far larger allocation than you
Both of those opinions represent vested interest
What would a neutral parson think and decide to do, one who was trying to make it fair for all? This is what the decision makers at the SPFL should be trying to do.


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.

Football supporters can never see past their own and their clubs self interest otherwise you would have all been screaming about 16 year olds having to pay adult ticket prices for the game.

There’s a reason why finals are at a neutral venue. Engineering a disproportionate number of a finalists fans in the first instance is plain wrong and a disgrace. The spfl have no obligation to hampden. Let’s switch it to Murrayfeild give Hibs 30000 tickets and let Celtic have the remaining allocation. Works for me.

[Chorley Hibee]

I'd have every club official and player publicly refer to it as an away tie rather than a cup final now.

Let's start turning the heat up on these *******s for a change rather than meekly accepting it.

We as supporters are always speaking about fairness, sporting integrity etc but the reality is the SPFL and the clubs including Hibs and club owners including Ron are only really bothered about the money. How can they increase revenues and revenue streams, how can they reduce expenses. How can they guarantee future revenues, how can they milk even more cash out of us etc etc.
Ron Gordon owns Hibs, we support it by buying season tickets, paying into HSL, buying match day food, merchandise etc. The club buys the best players it can afford from the money we have supported it with and in exchange we get to cheer it on and get tickets for special games like cup finals. Folk that don't buy season tickets get to watch Hibs on hooky streams, moan about how they can't get the special tickets and tell us how unfair it is. Some folk from both groups go on about Christmas all the time.

Nah let’s switch it to Celtic Park. It means that Celtic will be able to have even more real football fans there. They can have their home ends and home changing rooms for traditions sake. Can’t be having any of these day trippers from Leith. It’s only fair…

Our club, and the rest of Scottish football, has stood silent for too long on the issue of Celtic and Rangers and the blatant rigging of the game in their favour.

And whilst on the subject of diplomatic silence, look at the bottle incident with Hibs players yesterday for example.

As a club, we shouted from the rooftops when one of our own support done similar a few years and were (rightly) quick in condemning our own, yet when our own players safety is endangered we say hee haw.

We could, and should, be doing more.

Totally agree.

Hibs fight as hard as they can for us every single time. One of the last things they got a result on was actually League Cup semi final allocation when we played Celtic under Lennon and the game was played with thousands upon thousands of empty seats which Celtic would have sold. So it’s hardly always about money.

The Capital club is also looking into the flashpoint. A spokesperson told the Evening News: “We are aware of items being thrown at our players following the third goal.

"We are having discussions with the relevant people at Hampden and the SPFL regarding this.”

Publicly, and continually, call them out, and be as vocal and controversial as possible in the process.

It might just be the catalyst to a discussion on the bias towards these *******s, and the start of some meaningful change.

I do know that years of diplomatic silence, and Hibs class has achieved the square root of **** all, and has led us to a situation like today.

It's also the reason why Rangers cheated the entire game for over a decade.

[Carheenlea]

Instead of going through the rigmarole of sorting Celtic out with their own end and giving their fans most of the stadium, would it not just be easier to play the game at Celtic Park?

So because the OF have they largest support Hibs should kow-tow to them having their own end at the National Stadium and more fans in attendance? Also, when does a kid stop becoming a kid?

Why do the club think the pricing is acceptable the week before Christmas

Ultimately, it's priced like that becuase they know us fans will pay it to watch our team in a final. They could charge £100 per ticket and folk would still go, Hampden will still be full and that will be the justification. Its acceptible becuase people pay it. Until fans actually vote with their feet and a National cup final is played in a virtually empty stadium becuase fans have had enough of high prices then prices will continue to rise. Will this happen? No, of course not. Its a final. And ultimately fans will go. That's the justification.
