luckydug Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Can't see us selling 20K for this . Saturday lunch time puts a lot of people off. Means an early start possibly leaving the house about 8.00am for the journey into Edinburgh to get bus or train. Bad enough coming from East Lothian never mind Inverness. ****ing sick of the way they bend over to TV companies. Total attendance of 19k at a push.

Then other loyalty points holders then general sale. I can understand this. There is a big difference to sitting in the North Stand as opposed to the West Terracing. Not a ST holder this season but have no complaints if the holders and big points guys get first dibs. Seems fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericb Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Its widely acknowledged that the East and West stands are the worst views then why don't they just sell North and South only, surely that must come to around 30k with a better view for all?

Unfortunately I live in Glasgow ? That's all well and good but you'll need to get to Hampden! It's a 20-minute walk for me... but I'll be in Spain. Just have to hope we get to the final.

I don't know if anything was actually released or not but somehow I had it in my mind that although the contestants weren't known in full at that stage both games would have KO times of 12:30 lunch time. I'm guessing that as there is one company broadcasting both games that they have had total say over when both games will actually kick off.

But lets face it there won't be a problem getting a ticket for this I was going to say I hope HMFC are bit more careful who they sell tickets to given the number of people barred from Tynecastle for a long period who were at the semi-final versus Celtic (along with a few faces who were identified as Rangers fans). But I suspect it was the opposition that day that maybe played a part in attracting such people and a game at Hampden versus ICT may not have the same appeal. And as you say those that want tickets will get them if we are being given an allocation of 25,000 (I don't think we'll sell that number though).
