tian447 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Not going because I don't fancy sharing a flight or ferry from Belfast with a bunch of the scummiest Rangers fans you could possibly imagine, all pissed up and out for a sectarian jolly. **** that.

jambo1975 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 For one person to go the cost of the whole day will top £100. Ticket, transport, food etc. Imagine having a family of 3/4. Plus there are season tickets to renew. I'm sure some are choosing not to go for various reasons but when you boil it down it's an big expensive for some who might just not be able to afford it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Nobody's business but their own. Also the idea that failing to sell out 100% can and will be used against us by the SFA so they can throw more tickets at the Weegie teams is disgusting. Its a neutral venue. Failing to provide both teams 50% of the tickets fails to provide a neutral venue. If one team is happy to take a lesser allocation, fine. But the starting position needs to 50/50. Its an absolutely rotten culture thats been allowed to develop from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club really making a big effort to sell the remaining tickets, is there a valid excuse? Holidays, working, illness, child-minding, cost, age (young and old) etc. Can’t blame anyone that doesn’t want to go or can’t go, it’s a personal choice based on circumstances. If we have sold 17k it’s a pretty good effort, equivalent of every season ticket holder plus a few more. If it wasn’t for the 50/50 issue I think we would be pretty chuffed with sales to date. Certainly as good as we have taken to a semi-final against the OF for a long, long time I suspect. Folk need to lay off those that are not going.

Beave1874 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I'm going but it was all reliant on my son's football teams cup final. Had that fell on same day then my son takes priority. As it is I am fortunate to afford the hospitality from Hearts. A lot of people not in this position and a day out costs a fortune, particularly with reliant family. There are certainly more pressing priorities for people. Only time I go to this dump now is if Heart Of Midlothian are playing, complete mess of a stadium and access. Hence the hospitality, buses to the craphole with a return included. Hats off to the troops getting away from there via public transport. As for the opposition and their bum cheek partners.. When the chips were down over several periods in their lifetimes had crap support, appear when successful, showing my age. We'll beat them..

Train ticket was £33, match ticket (for half decent seat in North) was £40, few beers and something to eat in Glasgow and it’s easily £100. Mines is cheaper because my match ticket was £20 and I cant keep up with the young crew re drinking so I save a bit on that. Still an expensive day out esp if you are taking a couple of kids with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No argument though, to make a day of it you’d need to spend a decent amount but if you wanted to go to the game form Edinburgh then come home you could do it for £50. Travelled through with the nephew (15 at the time) for the ICT semi and spent peanuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) There’s thousands that could afford to go but they just aren’t going. Simple as that. I’ve sympathy for people who are genuinely skint or need to plan their finances well in advance and it works out they can’t free up the dosh for the game. For most the cost is spread over the 4,5 weeks before the game. Transport can be started to be organised for most as soon as the draw is made. Match tickets later, 2 and a bit weeks after the last game. Edited April 12 by Debut 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way you could do it for £50 unless you are a concession. Based on your previous post you are a real fun guy - going to Hampden for a semi-final and spending £2 on food, drink and entertainment. 😂😂 Maybe share where you are getting the £18 from Haymarket with everyone as it’s £19.20 cheapest on Trainline. That’s 80p left for your peanuts😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to go you could do it for 50 quid. if you want to go, get better seats, have a few pints, get something to eat, watch the game, have another few pints then aye, it’ll be more expensive than just going to the game and going home.
