I'd bet we won't be far off those attendances. We should be at the level that 20k for any semi final imo but the product on the park is negative and failing. We are in serious trouble of Hibs selling more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydug Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Not having the first class postage option will not help sales imo. Football is costly enough without having £6.95 delivery charge plus admin fees bumping the price up. Ticket office was busy when I was in yesterday as you would expect . It's worth making the effort to go in person to buy and save on the extortionate extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet we won't be far off those attendances. We have had some really poor turn outs for LC semi finals. Not just at Hampden but also Easter Road and even once at Motherwell. Seems the 'wee cup' just doesn't capture the imagination of the Hearts support. Last year at Murrayfield being an exception which shows what we are capable of achieving given the right circumstances. I'm desperate to see us lift the LC again I never imagined in October 1962 that I would be picking up my pension and still not lifted it again. We dominated that tournament back then winning it four times in eight years plus a losing final as well. It's been too long imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bounce it would give the players and fans would be tremendous. I can't remember ever selling out a league cup semi and I include Hampden, Easter Road and Fir Park in that.

I suspect that the club have been told to only open up other areas once all/most tickets are sold, but people are holding on as there are only shite tickets left. If our "national stadium" wasn't such a shit-hole then people would be happy with what was available and each section would fill up much more quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it's something many of us outside of Edinburgh are used to. Although the more annoying frustration was returning home from work yesterday to find a royal mail 'we tried to deliver your special delivery item' slip in my letter box yesterday. If you've ever been to a central London post office on a Saturday morning to collect a package, you will know it's probably quicker for me to come up to the ticket office to get them.

Exactly. 2008 V Rangers - 7,000 if you're lucky 2013 v ICT at ER - circa 14,000 2014 v ICT at ER - circa 10,000 Scottish cup semi v Celtic in 2012 - circa 12,000 Scottish cup semi v ICT this year - circa 18,000 That's an average of just over 12,000 that increases to 14,500 if you include around 28,000 at Murrayfield last October. If we sell 12,000 for this we'll be doing well and bang on what we'd normally sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky jamboa Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I got mines this morning, G2, behind the goals. decent seats, half way back. There was a slight delay getting on at 9.00am. I thought there would be quite a few sales this morning but doesnt seem to be the case. Suppose that sums up the apathy around the football at the moment.

Jambo-Fox Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 A good morning for sales! C. 1,000 sold. I’d imagine G1 will open soon(ish), at that point the Hearts support will have turned the corner .... from SE corner to NE corner and a wall of maroon directly behind the goal is assured!!

I have chosen not to go myself in the past. The last League Cup semi v Rangers being one of them, even though I was in Glasgow for the night I just watched it in a pub. But let's not pretend that the inevitable shite ticket sales here are any different from what has gone in the past. The exception of course being Celtic last year which was a unique situation owing to the venue of the match.
