Scottish Cup Semi Final v Inverness - Sat 13th April 12:15pm kick off


kila

Recommended Posts

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.

£20 for adults and £10 for concessions is pretty good for a semi final

 

Those tickets are in the worst stand in Scottish football tho. You want to see anything down the other end it’s £30.

Shouldn’t be imo. Should be season tickets and high loyalty points holders first. 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.

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?

The last time we sold that many for a Hampden semi final was back in the eighties.

We didn't even sell that for the 4-0 derby on 02/04/06.

I'll be delighted to be proved wrong and I will be there regardless.

12 minutes on the train to Glasgow City centre for me so it's like a home game. 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.

The crowd at the 2006 semi was 43,000.

Lucky if there were 15,000 Hobbits there.....

First visit to the dump in 6 years. Expect a high uptake to be honest. 

After the Murrayfield debacle not sure it's a good thing

Out of interest does the ticketing price structure apply to both semi finals? I’d imagine it would but not certain.

It does. Pretty sure the gate money is pooled between the 4 teams from both games

That is an outrageous time for Inverness fans to get to Glasgow for a 12:15 kick off time. 

Yet again pandering to a TV schedule with no regard for football fans. 

No it's actually ok. 6:48am train gets you there in plenty of time.  But thanks for showing concern for us North based Hearts fans ?

Correct, nice earner for us - especially if we get to the final.

Disgraceful again from the SFA/SPFL, whoever it is, to make this a 12:15 kick off, no regard for the Inverness fans or for the Hearts fans who are based a bit further than Edinburgh.

As I remember we sold every ticket we could get for 2/4/06.

I don’t get why folk are complaining about the times.....the semi-finals for the Scottish Cup have been played at roughly these times on the two different days for almost 20 years.

Why?

 

Perfect kick off time for us, bit harsh on Inverness!

Why not cheap and cheerful, say a ten spot a pop  and for me it would encourage more who might be put off with train prices

Good time for us over here ! Shit time for Inverness , not particularly bad for the majority of Hearts fans (IMO) and at least its the Saturday . Hopefully min of 20,000 - 25,000 hearts fans there to see us get to the final .............. then starts the ticket madness

Got to disagree season ticket holders and those with high loyalty points should get first dibs at the better seats if they want them even if it’s for a 48 hour period before putting them on general sale

Going to have to write this off and watch on the TV.

 

Have something pre-arranged for that morning that I can't get out of, and won't be done till 11am.

Only for the platinum seats, you can get a seat in those stands for as little as £22

Perfect day and perfect KO time. 

 

To suggest anything differently guarantees you had no interest in going anyway.

TV for me. Far to early a kick off time that.

 

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.

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).
