LC Final Tickets

[green day]

While not agreeing with the decision on the split, the BBC sport story isnt quite accurate.

It suggests that Hibs are getting 17500 out of the 52000 capacity (i.e. 33%). The truth is that a 50/50 split of Hampden would be about 21000 to each club (as there are so many sponsor tickets, hospitality and some seats lost to segregation - more this time).

The proposed split is hence unfair, but also forces ticketless Hibs (and Celtic) fans to pay extortionate fees for hospitality tickets.

Nice one SPFL.....................

I sincerely hope non season ticket holders who bought tickets for the Semi Final are looked after. The atmosphere on Sunday was fantastic and it would be good to have the same folk back at the final.

It'll be season ticket holders, then those who purchase a half season ticket and then general sale.

The majority of people who want a ticket will get one but there will undoubtedly be people who miss out unfortunately.

17,500 tickets is nothing short of a disgrace. An absolute ****ing joke!

Cup finals are about bringing along your family. Kids, grandparents, family from overseas.

Loads of fans will miss out. Scottish football run by amateurs who pander to the old firm.

You could have replaced the 10000 who were there with another 10000 Hibby's like myself, the atmosphere would have been as good, what was there to be negative about?

I've been at more semi's than I care to remember and the atmosphere's been crap, mainly due to the score.

We shouldn't even have to be going down that route mate. Hibs could simply agree that any tickets not sold by Thursday at 5pm can be sent to Celtic .... The way tickets are sold in blocks we can sell starting from the sections nearest the south stand and any complete block not sold by that date can be reserved for Celtic. As it is I'm still convinced Hibs could easily sell 23,000 tickets even at the stupid prices being asked.

The bottom line here is as I said before an absolutely fundamental issue of fair play. Where it's obvious a club cannot sell a full allocation EG ..Ross County, Livvi that sort of thing then fair enough it makes sense to give a realistic allocation. But, there is absolutely no evidence that Hibs are not capable of shifting 23,000, in fact a raft of evidence that we can do so and that being the case it is absolutely unfair that we are not at least being given the chance.

The rules of the competition as I understand it state that the final will be played at a neutral venue ..... What makes home advantage home advantage is not just playing on your own pitch but also an assumption that you will have the majority of the crowd on your side. If Covid proved anything it was that the crowd was the main factor in what makes home advantage an advantage ... with no crowds many club's away record improved, not least amongst them Hibs.

I for one am really really angry that Hibs have caved into this. They state their unhappiness at the decision in that statement, but in my opinion it doesn't go nearly far enough ... They should state in no uncertain terms that the SPFL have taken a step that is far from justifiable given this club's proven ability to shift enough tickets to justify a 50/50 split and that in sporting terms as far as this club is concerned the SPFL have handed an advantage to our opponents for that final.

Aye ok, if they cave in and we fail to shift all the tickets then we end up with egg on our face .... but that is the very last thing we should be considering at this point.

I agree but I really want North stand tickets so would mean selling the best seats last doing it block by block. If they’re worried about revenue then we’ve made that promise, if they are worried about how it would look then make club sell from front to back rather than block by block.

Whole thing stinks though, they’re not working in the equal best interests of all parties.

Yep, I also wonder if Hibs will also add in those who have bought the 8 / 5 match packages before public sale?

i.e. ST, Half ST, Package, Public

I am not sure there is any way the club can look at non ST holders who went to the semi, as there is no way to verify who got them.

I have nine tickets sitting on my Dressing Table, so easy to prove.

The package didn’t cover the cup so it won’t be involved. It will 100% go ST, Half, Public. And that’s as it should be. It will also be 1 ticket per ST. So people better get their Network setup quick.

[LancsHibs]

Is this the authorities taking revenge on us for having the audacity to beat the Huns and spoil their OF ‘big cup final’?
As said before, there is a dangerous precedent being set here for any further finals/semi’s we get to against the OF (also for the likes of Hearts & Aberdeen, who should be supporting us in complaining to the SPFL) and flies in the face of sporting integrity and fair play. Never would this sort of one sided bias be allowed when arranging supporters allocation for an English cup final.

[blackpoolhibs]

I think the club should make a stance and say it's either a 50/50 split, or refuse to take any tickets. This wont be the last final we make, and this is now the rules for future finals.

100% Agree one of the best ways to handle this is to grant those who purchased semi final tickets first chance of final tickets.

[bigwheel]

Looking at the detail of our seating allocation, it would suggest that we will again have Opposition fans above us in the south upper . We only have been given section Q…yet upper sections M and N are above our south stand allocation all the way to the corner flag area ….

That won’t happen. STs will always get first dibs on anything

Madness for anyone to suggest otherwise- someone attending a one off match has dibs over someone who’s shelled out £400 this season and the same last (for no matches)?

Never going to happen and ridiculous to even think about.

It's been fun being the devils advocate this evening but sadly my time is now up.

Why do you always pretend to know absolutely everything? You constantly speak about our owner as if you know him personally. You seem to appear on so many threads telling everyone they’re wrong.

Ridiculous. Sure, if we are lucky enough to be winning/win the game, those fans above us will take it all in good grace and won’t even think about chucking objects down 🙄

is it even possible to buy a half ST? I’m on the website and can only see STs and 5 or 8 match packages for sale

Not yet but the club will be missing a trick if they don’t do them.

They were also available (from around mid-December) last year but it wasn’t heavily advertised.

Of course it wont get the support it should get, but you watch the next time we get to a final against either cheeks.

It will then just be expected we receive a smaller allocation.

You just know your place Crunchie, and bend over please.

Part of the issue is their seems to be no rules or guidelines.

It wasn’t like they said semi finals will dictate final allocation.

1st final with fans post covid where we had no fans for a year and you would think they would want to be as fair as possible but if you aren’t the old firm you aren’t getting 50 % of tickets for a final anytime soon.

[hibee-boys]

I’m assuming if people signed up to the 5/8 package of games they’ll be able to upgrade to a half season ticket if Hibs go down that route, all becomes a bit complicated then. The fans that have committed to these games should be given this opportunity if it’ll help secure them a final ticket.

Could we orchestrate a campaign to swamp the SPFL social media channels with allegations of corruption. I have just started in my own small way and will spend some time posting up comments on the corruption of that body on any thread relating to the semi, final or league cup. Let's make a mess of their Social Media and try and at least embarrass them. If there are contacts with other fans groups from other clubs they could join the fun as this will be a similar story for them when they next reach a final

[JeMeSouviens]

I think you should all boycott the game!

(at least until I can get a ticket )

I'm also thinking of contacting my MSPs, Murdo Fraser will surely take up the baton on our behalf for fairness.

That's a good idea. Agree to take 17.500 and sell none. Leave the whole end empty and boycott. Then the SFA may realise this is not fair.

The North Stand is a major player/twelfth man for any club.
