No Idle Talk Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It's fantastic to see people on here offering to buy tickets for fellow Jambos who may be in a difficult position financially and unable to attend the match for that reason. Things like that say much about the kind of supporters we have and it makes me proud to see it. Fair play to each of you who have extended this very generous offer. I really hope we can get all these tickets sold. The importance of it should not be underestimated. The organisers of this semi-final categorically did not want to give us a 50-50 split. We only got the 50-50 split because Hearts said they would pay for any unsold tickets. That is all fine and dandy this time. But if we beat Rangers, and end up playing Celtic in the final, it won't be fine and dandy then. It is unlikely we would get a 50-50 split for the final if we do not sell out for this match. That is the crux of the issue. I know it's a Sunday. I know it's Rangers. I know times are tough. But if you can get there, please get there.

That is the crux of the issue. I know it's a Sunday. I know it's Rangers. I know times are tough. But if you can get there, please get there. Why not? Historically the semi finals have had no bearing on allocations for the final. Have we entered a new era where this is suddenly a thing? If we have then that’ll be me done with Scottish football and we might as well just have an end of season bigotfest for the cup. Should one of Hearts/Aberdeen win the SFA must remain strong on this and go with previous allocations. The final is a totally different occasion to semi finals. For a start the date of the final is set in stone and anyone remotely interested in attending should their team reach that stage will make sure they’re able to attend. With semi finals you don’t know the dates. When we beat Morton we only had 17 on our minibus but of those 17, two or three said they hoped it wasn’t the Saturday because they couldn’t attend and a similar number said the same about the Sunday. Four days later we found out. Now if that’s a fair reflection across the entire fanbase then 10-15% say are unable to attend this for good reason. Those people will make the final should we be fortunate enough to make it and rightly so. If as it looks we sell 19,000-20,000 of 21,000 there’s no reason to view that as anything other than success.

Disser Pointon Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Probably been answered already, but does a semi ticket guarantee a final ticket, should we progress? I'm away for the semi date and only have 4 loyalty points, but would happily buy a ticket through another supporter and donate it if it guaranteed a final ticket.

No never been mentioned and any final allocation will be done on loyalty points first with season ticket holders getting the priority. Hearts won’t change the loyalty points system for one game it’s the fairest way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt they'll do it this time as there are so many untraceable tickets due to the two per account thing, but they have done it before.

Libertarian Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 The Herald is claiming that we have only sold 16,000 tickets. I don't believe that and I'm still hopeful that we can sell out by the 21st. https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/24241932.hearts-billed-unsold-rangers-semi-final-tickets/ As of Monday, April 8, it's believed 16,000 tickets had been shifted by the Premiership's third-placed side. So, with less than a fortnight to go until the big day, 5,000 have still to be sold - and so, the club will need to fork out for the briefs that are unaccounted for.

Daveandal Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 17 hours ago, Daveandal said: Just done the most back of a fag packet dot count. Take with a pinch of salt and a large margin of error. Looks like about 2,760 left. Meaning 18,240 sold. Also a few light blue dots while in there so seats do seem to still be shifting. Another back of a fag packet dot count. Looks like it's now 2,596 left meaning 18,404 sold. Thats 164 from last night. This is a very conservative estimate as I didn't count the two big sections this time but just used yesterday's figures so it's much more likely the sold figure it higher. Comes with salt and caveats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
