I strangely find it easier to take in person at games than watching on TV.

Me too, actually.

I'm a lot less nervous being at a Hearts game than watching on TV, listening on radio or keeping up in any other way.

Must be something in it.

I’m not sure why though, it’s not like you can just turn it off when there.

So saying you should borrow money to attend football is sensible? The “I’ve borrowed money” in the past line does imply that others clearly don’t want to go to the same lengths to watch their team.

you’re right, I have no idea of your situation and I don’t really care either. I can only make assumptions based on your posts and if you say idiotic things then what do you expect?

Been caught up talking shite? I think we’ve confirmed most folk going will be having a few drinks and food hence the additional cost. Regardless the game and transport itself if +£50.

I’ll be getting drinks and food however so it will be around the £100 mark.

FFS, let it go. All I said was it doesn’t costs 100 to go to the game next Sunday.

The next thing you’re all wound up questioning my financial competence. Now I was implying this and you’re assuming that.

Let’s just say you won. It costs 100 quid to go to the game and I’m a financial incompetent encouraging others to be the same.

It's not the short walk to the electric chair you're making, bud.

If losing to Rangers at Hampden is the worst thing that happens to any of us on the 21st then we're laughing handbags.

Not sure i said it was electric chair or worse thing to happen to me. Thread is people giving views on why not going to game. I am merely giving my take on it

I’m running the London marathon……….

I’m not really……..😂

I did type a response but let’s just let it lie. I hope you have a good weekend and enjoy the game when it comes.

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.

And its a Sunday!!I will be there but have a few mates that just can't go due to Monday morning commitments.

It's not really anyone's business why people aren't going. I couldn't make one of the recent home games, can't even remember what one, and you had pricks on here giving it large about a lower crowd and why people aren't there, when they have no idea about people's individual situations.

Personally don't understand why people choose not to go because of who we are playing, that's a tiny minority though. Others have loads going on.

Only thing that's a fact if we don't sell out, if we make the final we won't be given 50/50 (queue a hypocritical meltdown) I hope the club would look to offer final tickets to those that went to the semi final first.

April 13

I am on the Lanarkshire Hearts bus and we'll be in the Motherwell miners club for 10.55am. I don't drink much these days but I am making an exception next Sunday as I am off the Monday 🤣🤣

agree with a lot of this but i don’t think its a tiny minority who don’t won’t go becuase its rangers and they expect to lose . I’d say that is a fair old chunk of our support.

if it was hibs or Aberdeen we’d sell 30,000.

Not going as I am a shit fan nowadays and see this only going one way. We will lose of course. Just so sick of the Old Firm. I absolutely ****ing despise them. I also despise Glasgow and Glaswegians with an all consuming passion.

We just can't beat Rangers nowadays. We have even found a way to beat Celtic but play like pussies v Rangers. I think we have beaten a Brendan Rogers Celtic team more times than Rangers have beaten them.

I'm just so ****ing bored of it all tbh. Even the sight of that ***** Tavernier makes me want to punch something.

Respect to all you Jambos going, I hope we do it for you all.

Exactly

make no mistake the Glasgow cabals will use these tactics the next time we face them in a semi or final and the time after that and time after that

On the next occasion if our form

leading up to that game is poor we possibly won’t sell as many tickets for a game against an old firm opponent as we will on this occasion, are we to have this threat of a lesser allocation held over us for every game at Hampden.

50-50 split for Hearts and every club who play at a neutral venue, and who gives a **** what it looks like on some satellite Tv channels

April 13

I am not going as I am a shitebag and don't back the club who have gone the extra mile to secure a 50/50 split for us.

Will be at the final though if we make it.

April 13

Don't see why people are so annoyed and defensive about the original post, the ticket issue is under scrutiny in the media at the moment and it's understandable the OP would ask why they are not getting sold.

Not confident in the least about the result but always hopeful and will have a good day out beforehand

Going into hospital for an operation on friday..but at least saved the club unlike some other glasgow club...

If your reason for not going is not due to finance, it's an idea to buy a ticket or 2 and donate to Big Hearts?

Sorry to hear that Colin. Hopefully you can be cheered up a bit by watching a Hearts victory on TV.

A ticket for the semi-final should have come with a guarantee of a ticket for the final.

Maybe not a guarantee but priority after the first sale

Couple of aspirin you'll be fine 🙂.

In all seriousness fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

It pretty much does. The majority of people going are season ticket holders. Season ticket holder will be guaranteed a ticket to the final should we reach it.

we have 15,500 ST holders. Whilst I get your logic , the ST holders should rightfully be given first dibs given its likely even a 50/50 split will be less given all the sponsor tickets etc the SFA have to give away.

April 13

Not going, can’t do spur of the moment stuff cos of the b & b, I can literally tell you exactly what days I’m not working till the end of the year. I have made it to games this year though but those were pre planned……..the final though…..I’ll need to think up a cunning plan 😁

April 13

I'm having surgery today so I'm being....urgh.....sensible......and not risking attending.

Hope I miss a famous and incredibly contentious win for us.

Why? When we get to the final it should be loyalty point based as these are the people who go to the most games.

If after a suitable sale all the final tickets are not sold then I think your idea holds merit.

The club really making a big effort to sell the remaining tickets, is there a valid excuse?

I appreciate the ideas lads, it's not just a normal shift though, I'm away on a course and have to drive down south on the Sunday. Unavoidable unfortunately. Hopefully I'll make the final.
