Fairness though....

If you're a Celtic fan you need to buy a season ticket and go to all the Cup games possibly cost of £500+, even then you might not get a ticket for a final.

Dundee Utd fan "Im only going to go to Cup finals from now on"..... can go to every Cup final Willie Nilly.

And they get their 2 best players snatched up a month before by the big club..

The pros and the cons of supporting a big club like Celtic

No it's a dig at the 15k Celtic fans with ST's that never turned up to those games but you think deserve a ticket to the final.

What about the 9,000 United fans who never turn up to any of their games, eh? :bbpd:

Away games aren't really relevant though. Ofcourse they play a part but my dad has had a ST since 1995 and I think the last away game he went to was 10 years ago, he is offered a ticket for every game at Hampden. As long as you are on the HCTS you're pretty much guaranteed a ticket.

It's not about cutting other teams allocations. It's about not giving them 3 times their average attendance whilst we could fill 80% of the stadium with our STHs alone

Aye, but i'm not on the HCTS and i get a ticket for every game.

Away games is your bread and butter for climbing the ticket ladder.

Those Celtic fans likely turn up to 19 games a season, at the very least.

Got to question whether some people here have ever been to cup final before. One of the best things about it is the balance of fans and atmosphere created by it.

Wouldn't be a proper cup final if we outnumbered opposition fans 3,4,5 to 1 it would just be a home game at a * ground.

And can you prove there isn't 17,000 DU fans who turn up to 20 games a season. No

I've not missed a game at Hampden since I got a ST in 2007, you?

I don't know why you're taking such delight in our supporters - who work their * off and sacrifice their time to watch our club, at great expense and effort - missing out on a chance to see their support rewarded. You're a strange one.

In answer to your question, probably not - I can't be arsed doing the maths. Let's say that it's unlikely though.

That can't be true my first season ticket never went to any away games until April and got offered tickets for all the cup games at Hampden including against the huns

Na, split it down the middle, if they fail to sell then we get what's left

No give us our normal home attendance of say 40, 000 and if we don't sell them all , send them up to Dundee Utd . Must be fair attendance in ratio of regular home gates and goals scored 4 to UTD 1 would also be in same ratio.

I wanted to fly to Scotland from Germany for this as my first Celtic match, found some dodgy ticket sites that I want to avoid, does anyone know if hospitality tickets are only for season tickets holders and people on the cup sheme or can I also buy some? Of course there would also be the option to buy from fellow supporters.

A cup final should be split 50/50 in terms of ticket allocation. If one club then fails to sell their allocation, the other should then get the opportunity to sell them to their fans. Simple as that imo.

That is correct. I got mine two days ago and I do not have a season book. Prices are excluding VAT though. Silver package therefore comes at 120 pound in total.

 The starting position for any cup final or semi-final should be an equal split of tickets, it’s a neutral venue for a reason and that should include the support. If a club takes up this option, and doubts remain over them selling them all, then they should be released in batches with any unsold after a given date going to the other side.

I’d also far rather have has many opposition fans in the stadium rather than as few as possible. It makes for a better occasion.

I’d imagine we will be given enough tickets to go around those that attended previous rounds and away regulars and that’s good enough for me.

I'd love to get a ticket for this one. I doubt I will though, I'm not a ST holder. How much will they cost?

They'll probably be £25-30, ST holders on cup scheme will get first dibs then ST general sale, so unless you know someone with a ST doubt it as well mate. Could go for the hospitality tickets, not so cheap though!
