    Next week?
    Presume ST holders first dibs.
    How many we likely to get?
    I haven't even bothered to read the rest of this thread. This question has been asked before when it comes to cup finals and there's only one answer, finals are played at a neutral venue for a reason and if you give one club less tickets than another it is no longer a neutral venue. The simple ( and only ) answer is that we get half the tickets because that's what we can sell .... If for some reason we can't then by all means we return some, but we all know that Hibs are easily capable of selling the 23,000 or so tickets we will be given for this game.

    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.

    And what do you propose Hibs do?
    Issue a statement that that bottle could have caused serious injury to our players. When the idiot threw the bottle at Easter Road the club issued a statement. Have not seen anything from the The Rangers. There was also other incidents at the game which have been mentioned on other threads, bottles and other things thrown at Hibs fans,McGregor launching the ball at the Hibs fans.
    Club need to show some Testicular Fortitude as its the Fans who pay their wages.
    Edit also stop using passive language in statements

    Why has the fifty-fifty split been abandoned for this final?

    When one of the Old Firm are involved in a final, there's always the discussion about the rights and wrongs of the fifty-fifty split, but I'm interested to know why it's been scrapped this time.

    Absolutely spot on. Champions League and Europa League finals are always 50:50 (albeit the sponsors prob get the most). This is really poor. Why is Scotland different from every other country and ruled by two teams? Why are all our refs selected from the West of Scotland. The bias is long ingrained in Scottish football and its time the other clubs got together to do something about it.

    The pricing is a joke too. A flagship game but let's put off anyone who's not wealthy enough to go. £22 minimum for a child? Scottish football deserves to go down the pan.

    Was scrapped when they played Aberdeen in 2018 too I think. Makes no sense to me. We’d have sold the tickets no problem and it’s surely more about being fair than simply who took more to a game in a previous round.

    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.
    Will they? I missed out in 2001 despite going to most games that season, including the semi which was supposed to guarantee you a ticket for the final. I was genuinely Peed off as had been a season ticket holder the previous 3/4 years going home and away and went to most games that season. Swore I'd never be back. That didn't last long though.

    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,
    I would definitely not let them have their own end.
    The fear for the stadium owners is the half wits would damage the toilets etc if they thought they were in the Rangers end

    Alex Ferguson did that brilliantly when he was Aberdeen manager. Went on about referees having to be strong before games. Referred to other injustices. It worked it's way into the mindset of the players and the club. Look what they went on to achieve.

    Well that’s totally different to the “leak”. 17500 tickets is poor but hard to argue when we only sold 10k for the semi.
    Following on from my last post, which I made not knowing the official allocation because I couldn't believe less than a 50/50 split was even a possibility which shows what a naive idiot I am .... I have to comment on this.

    It doesn't matter a toss how many tickets we sold for yesterday's semi. or any other semi for that matter. For cup finals this century Hibs have never failed to sell our allocation and in fact more than once have exceeded 25,000 for a final ... IE Livingston 40,000, Kilmarnock 35,000 and Ross County 30,000

    Given that absolute fact to offer Hibs less than a 50/50 split is the SPFL favouring a club in a cup final. It is ... ABSOLUTELY F'ING WELL FUNDAMENTAL ... that if a club is capable of selling a half allocation then that is what it should be given. The prices are an outrage, but that's a different discussion.

    If this is true ... and even now I'm struggling to believe it ..... Hibs should put a statement on the official site stating that this game is not being played at a neutral venue in the spirit of that term and that we are now offering to play the game at Celtic park ... that way Celtic can still get their 37,000 allocation and more and Hibs can be given 25,000 tickets ... I'm not even kidding !!!

    Where are you Ron Gordon ?

    Why are folk moaning about the price? I had an ADULT season ticket for Easter Road at 16.

    Folk moaning about paying £35 for a CUP FINAL..........Our Cat A games at Easter Road this season are £35.

    If they are that bothered about the tickets being sold, sign a contract where we are liable for maximum cost of unsold tickets. Not hard and nobody loses out.

    They already have and the SPFL weren’t having it. Not much more can be done.

    Aye but you are able to see the game at Easter Road. For £35 I suspect you're stuck in the east or west terrace, miles from the pitch, which prob means you have to spend £45 to guarantee a decent view. I know people will pay it but for a family of 4 you could be looking at £144 just for tickets never mind the travel, etc. That's not affordable for a lot of people, especially a few days before Christmas.

    The whole thing smacks of elitism - the way the bigger team is being favoured and the way the less affluent are being priced out. Very sad for a national cup final which should be open, fair and accessible.

    Aberdeen and Dundee Utd achieved great things because they had great managers who could hold great players to ransom.

    Celtic get the dressing room nearest their end. Both dressing rooms are exactly the same anyway.

    That last paragraph.

    If Hibs played Ross County and they had a small semi final support but wanted 50/50 for the final I really wouldn’t be that bothered.

    Why are they allowing a team to dictate a higher number of tickets to allow more of their fans in than the opposition.

    It’s not right and even Celtic haven’t exactly had 100% full ends for semi finals and finals over the years.

    2016 - 22,130 for their semi against Ross County
    2021 - 42,298 for their semi against St J

    Hibs and Ron get the same money whoever buys the tickets.
    17,500 tickets might suit his agenda for trying to get more folk to buy season tickets next season.

    There should an email sent to everyone on the database laying out what the club are going to do about the situation, that's the least we should except. Wishy washy statements will not suffice.

    Last time I was looking round I was told that Celtic always get “their” dressing room and Rangers always get “theirs”. Lining up in the tunnel they have to line u at “their” side. Hampden staff think it’s a complete pain.So I think it is true as the national team at that time did not have a home dressing room.Don’t know if they favour one over the other now.

    I think it's fundamentally unfair to start at a lower allocation for any team unless it's at there request

    Give both sides 50/50 and a deadline to sell, anything unsold gets handed over

    How can it possibly be any other way

    What if it was celtic vs Livi - do livi just get 2000 tickets and celtic 50,000?

    I genuinely think the club should say they will boycott the game if it’s not a 50/50. Think how ridiculous the spfl would look if the game wasn’t going to be played. Call their bluff Hibs.
