Debut 4 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 9 hours ago, Gorgie_Rules said: I might be being pessimistic, but my prediction earlier in the thread of 20,000 won't be far off IMO. It is hard to gauge what % of folk that want to go don't have their tickets by now, my assumption that 80% of folk that are going have their tickets would mean we'll sell another 3,500 to take us to 21,000. Many who don't go to games often will have secured a ticket as a current season ticket holders +1 IMO. Hope I am wrong but I can't see the demand on thursday being as high as many are predicting. Still, 21,000 would be a good crowd. I predicted somewhere between 25- 30k. I think that would be very very good if achieved but not getting over the 20,000 mark would be disappointing. I don’t think the latter will happen though. Its hard to gauge but the team has started well and feeling good about the team will always draw the 50/50 supporters. But....the reality is, it’s not the final. A lot of supporters do sit and wait to see if we make it and watch the semi on tv. However, it’s not Gretna we’ll face if we win. We’ll only get circa 25,000 tics for Hampden. On that basis I hope many see it as a chance to attend a big game and on our doorstep too.

scott herbertson Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 58 minutes ago, Rudolf said: The 2013 semi against ICT at ER had a crowd of 16,300 odd. ICT had half the FF stand so maybe 2,000 - 2,500 tops. At least 14,000 Hearts fans at that game Scott. Anyway, I'm going for 23,000 sold here. Ach, I forgot about the second ICT game - you are right. Basic point still stands that this will be the biggest Hearts crowd at any League cup semi final in edinburgh by a long long way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG ECK Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 My son and I are season ticket holders but due to needing a further 3 tickets on top of our own, have had to wait for the general sale in order to sit together. Circumstances of many others will dictate great sales ahead and I reckon we'll sell a minimum 10000 on top of the 17000-18000 already acquired.

Thats 16,700 add in corporate seats for their board, club employees, wider squad, players families, et al I think it’s fair enough to suggest that around 17,000 in the stadium that day were supporting St Mirren.

Yes, it's weird - but according to the article, I think it's the way it was handled without consultation (sound familiar?), and the assumptions that were made which seemed to favour Hearts.

Probably similar to the way we feel we get treated when playing the OF. The main argument was that the the 3,500 (North-West Corner) were the only unallocated concession area left in the ground. St Mirren had sold all their concession priced tickets, we still had concession priced tickets available but we were allocated the full 3,500 rather than splitting them (which is what happened in the end). As Hackney correctly states it’s all about consultation but also common sense and a bit of fairness to all supporters regardless of size of club.

scott herbertson Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Worth noting if not seen already it's 4 tickets per account holder in the general sale, but phone for larger parties "Tickets for Hearts’ Betfred Cup Semi Final against Celtic at BT Murrayfield will go on general sale at 9am on Thursday 18th October. The match kicks off at 1.30pm on Sunday 28th October. The club was allocated 30,000 tickets for the fixture, which went on sale to season ticket holders on the 11th October, giving them a week to take up their allocation. To date, 18,000 tickets have already been snapped up. A massive thank you to all who have purchased tickets to join the ‘sea of maroon' and support the team at Murrayfield. The club pushed hard to have the original arrangements for the game changed, to allow as many as possible to be at our first semi-final for 5 years and make it a truly special occasion for Jambos of all ages. In order to support this and encourage groups of families and friends to enjoy the game together we are now able to offer 4 tickets per account in the general sale. If you have larger groups then please contact the ticket office who will do their best to help. Supporters who registered an account with Hearts either via the Ticket Office or on the eTicket's website on, or prior to, the 26th of September 2018 will be eligible to purchase tickets. Season ticket holders who have purchased tickets already will, of course, also be able to buy additional tickets (to a maximum of 4 in total). Please remember that our ticket allocation is for Hearts supporters. Please also remember that the purchaser is responsible for the behaviour of the ticket holder."
