Scottish Cup Celtic 3 - 1 Inverness

Not been balloted yet.

Are you on the HCTS?

 

I’m not a season ticket holder unfortunately.

It’s a real long shot I know with a treble been on the line. Not holding out much hope. Was even looking at the hospitality options but they are all sold out now as well.

 

Aye, you've close to nae chance then

I imagine those on the HCTS will be balloted at some point next week, think our allocation will allow for most but not at all to get one (after Celtic use up a good few thousand for hospitality) You need a ST to book our in-house hospitality though

Hampden had sold out all their packages other than the 2nd top package on Thurs (was £498pp)

 

Yeah I thought it would be very unlikely even despite us getting the majority of the allocation but if you don’t ask you don’t get I suppose

I did email Hampden hospitality about a week and a half ago to see if I would get an indication of when they would go on sale but they never got back to me and unfortunately all packages are sold out now for Celtic.

The £498pp package is a lot of money but would have gone for that if there was availability as it’s my birthday before the final and my dads is just after so would have been a good gift for us rather than having to try and think of alternative birthday gifts

A couple of Teuchters wouldn’t look out of place in with Caley fans surely? Maybe not until we score anyway

Have you heard of that ticket4football site? Tickets on there for Celtic end at inflated prices but not sure if it’s genuine or not. Looks like it could be dodgy

Cheers for your help mate

 

Aye looks like all the Hampden hospitality is sold out on our side, I wonder what they will do with ICT packages if they don't sell out? All of their options are still available and given they can buy 8 tickets per person, I don't imagine there will be the same clamour to spend that sort of cash to get in.

I've heard of that site before - I had to buy 3 match packages at Leipzig & Shakhtar this season, so sold the other matches on one of the ticketing sites. Don't think it was that one though.

 

Yeah I was wondering about what they will do there. Like you said would be surprised if the Caley hospitality was to sell out when they a good opportunity to buy standard tickets.

Will do a bit of research online and see if I can find out more about that ticket4football site and look into some of the other reselling sites.

Will keep an eye out and hopefully something might come up.

 

If we win this I will race several dolphins against each other and then get them to fight by telling them that they all cheated.

 

Hope they shred you..

 

Celtic hospitality was sold to corporate tickets one day, all bronze and silver where snapped up and next day was just gold and platinum left and was sold to season book holders within an hour or two. 306quid the gold where. Bit pricey. Fs I remember we used to get gold for 75quid a d silver 50quid. Some price change although to be fair, we got them at them prices MON years.

 

Heard the ballot emails been given out today. Alot will be happier this time around. Anyone disappointed on here?

 

They should get about 700 briefs and be grateful for it..

 

Should be taken on a average home attendance for both clubs, (every scottish final) they're lucky if they get 2k a home game, so where's the other 10 thousand coming from?

Then you have cup final day, celtic fans filled to the brim, every ticket could have been sold x3. Meanwhile the away end after complaining they want 12k tickets they've sold half that number and there is seats empty all over the place.

 

I can understand a team being given extra for a cup final but if your average attendance is 2k you can have a couple of blocks (say 5k) and can have more when sold. If sold out 4 weeks prior another 2.5k, if failed to sell 3 weeks prior Celtic get them. I'm sure Hearts and Aberdeen have demanded half in recent years yet never being able to sell them.

 

Oh totally, it's more about the club being realistic in their figures. That would be a decent way forward for them, then getting a date where if they've not sold x amount the rest get offered to the other team. I'm not just saying that because it's us in the final, it's because a final is supposed to be a show stopper, the last game of the season, no one wants to watch a cup final with empty seats. An empty end is sad on any occasion never mind a cup final.

 

what channel is it being shown on?

 

Everyone on the HCTS got according to my email

 

Nobody likes them here, they're a manufactured club that charge £20 a ticket for Championship football. No one is talking about the cup final in the city, which is mad.

 

Yeah I was expecting this. Good to see.

Would be great if Hampden was a 100k stadium. Very few would miss out anyother time
