Absolutely brilliant effort from the fans, considering the website was down for part of the day. Doubt many clubs in Scotland would sell 7500 in a day, other than the big 5.

Id imagine the club will request the cheaper section to be opened up now to increase sales. More folk be more inclined at £32 rather than £42.

From what’s left ignoring the scattered handful elsewhere in our original allocation P4 will be the best even if most west stand sections are made available.
If more west stand sections are released then it’s not so much the section you are in and more that you are far enough back.

North/South have closest views to pitch, behind corner flags alright views, behind goals is a fine view if your eyes still work and sit further back 😂 main thing is getting further back Id say as down the front can be harder to see due to running track

Falkirk have sold 7k but just open to season ticket holders although they can buy as many tickets as they want.
I suspect both sides will sell out the initial allocation and will be more Pars fans at the game once extra allocations have been allocated.

This argument comes up every year if one of the SFs doesn`t involve an OF club but I don`t see anything changing while the SFA has a financial interest in Hampden.
There`s also the point that the team that won the SF that wasn`t played at Hampden might be at a disadvantage in the Final if most of their players hadn`t played there before. Knowing a SF will definitely be played at Hampden could also act as an incentive for players of non-OF clubs as they probably won`t get many opportunities to play there in their careers.

Neither SF should be played at Hampden, regardless if either of the OF are involved or not.
Pick a neutral venue (ideally Tynecastle or Easter Rd) of a team not involved, and play both semis there.
If they insist that Hampden is the national stadium, then fine, play the final there. But let`s be honest, Hampden has the worst transport links, worst parking, worst pre-match pub choices, and worst atmosphere of almost any Scottish stadium I can think of.
As a fan trying to make the trip, it`s a god-awful nightmare of a place to drive to, get public transport to, or go for a couple of jars nearby.
I`d take Murrayfield over Hampden any day tbh

I`d much prefer to see the semi final at a smaller, more intimate venue that was sold out, than a 52000 seater stadium with 30000 empty seats.
If tickets were limited, then between season ticket holders and those who have bought tickets through the club throughout the season, it wouldn`t be difficult to ensure all the regular fans were guaranteed a ticket. As it stands, a sizeable chunk of our allocation will go to folk who likely haven`t been to EEP on a regular basis in some time. That`s fine, more money for the club I guess, but I`d still vote for Tynecastle, easier access, better stadium, better atmosphere and better pubs, and if the fair weather fans have to watch it on the TV then so be it.
It`s all purely hypothetical, it`ll never happen, but when I win the euromillions and I buy the SFA, that`s what I`m changing it to!

I think the real problem is because the SFA now owns Hampden they have to try and use it as much as possible.
When Queens Park owned it, playing semis at Hampden wasn`t such an issue.
It`s not a great stadium, and to be honest, I would have preferred if they had an agreement with SRU, and redeveloped either Murrayfield ( again not a great stadium) or Hampden, and used it as a national stadium for both sports
As for building a 30k stadium in Stirling? Lunacy, it would make the Olympic Stadium look like value for money-there really aren`t many acts that can fill a stadium, and those few that can want to play in a good sized city- somewhere where actual people live.

A 60,000 stadium with 2 tiers would be ideal, also with designated transport links a more central accessible area, sell Hampden to create money for it, it can be used for housing
The stadium can then be opened to accommodate the expected crowd, ie top tier closed.
I doubt this will ever happen due to the Glasgow bias in the SFA.

Par, well said on why Hampden is what it is. A better solution can be found and the upper tier stadium you suggest would definitely give the atmosphere required for games like our semi-final which will be half full attendance at its best. Unfortunately the SFA are in this for themselves and not the fans. They are only interested in Celtic and Rangers doing well and the freebie days the SFA get for all Hampden games.

Taking games across the country is something I’ve always been in favour of in terms of international games.
The same can be argued for domestic finals and semi finals to maximise atmosphere and exposure.

Spot on and whilst I hate the idea of the ugly sisters financially benefiting it makes more sense to have more funds going into grassroots football.
I guess it’s easier for the like of Italy as many clubs don’t own their stadia.
Regarding our semi final I think Tynecastle may prove too small. I’d expect more would go to Tyncastle than traipse through to Glasgow.

And who determines what a “loyal fan” is? Theres some travelling from the other side of the world for this game - are they less loyal because they aren’t part of the 5k every other week? Or are the regular attenders without STs not loyal because they don’t pay up front in June?
Every stadium outside of the “big 4” in Scotland wouldn’t accommodate the number of fans wanting to attend, so hosting elsewhere would be daft.

Regardless of who is or isn`t a regular, a season ticket holder or otherwise deserving or not, the prospect of watching one of our biggest games in 20 years in a stadium that`s over half empty is p!sh.
That goes for any fan of any club.
The powers that be can dress it up as heritage, nostalgia or the home of Scottish football as much as they like, playing a semi final between two teams with a following the size of ours in a stadium that will be at 40% capacity is a poor decision.

The powers that be can dress it up as heritage, nostalgia or the home of Scottish football as much as they like, playing a semi final between two teams with a following the size of ours in a stadium that will be at 40% capacity is a poor decision.
You clearly weren’t at the Hibs semi final in 07 then…….

Yes,I think the authorities need to think this out. Depending on who gets through to semi finals,alternative venues should be considered. Is that too sensible? 😅 But I suppose the hospitality and sponsorship has to be considered.

If there are more people at the game than Tynecastle or Easter Road can hold, then surely it is at the right venue. Pretty pointless locking people out just for the sake of it.

Yes, but the real reason is SFA own Hampden now, not Queens Park, for whatever reason they have to use it as much as possible - 10 games a season? It`s not much, personally I think it`s a white elephant, it`s not a great stadium.
Personally they should have sold it and used the money to twin with SRU and redeveloped Murrayfield, which is also a bit of a tip. Won`t happen, but it`s a white elephant.
I prefer it at Hampden purely because it gives everyone a chance to watch if they want.

Correct. "Fairweather" fans could be the fans of the future. Especially when Chris Kane knocks his third in and everyone goes home having had a transcendant experience.

Agree with all of what you say Neils, however the reason the SFA (say) they have to use it, is to generate enough money to pay off the running cost of it, along with the debt for renovating it all those years ago.
When Stewart Regan announced the SFA’s purchase of Hampden, he spoke about it then, I think the loan (especially for the South Stand), isn’t cleared until 2035 from memory.

No way was that a full house. The biggest crowd I’ve been to at tynecastle was when we played Portugal in semi final of world youth cup. 29,000. THAT was a full house. Bouncing.

An amazing 41400 crowd vs Hibs in 1965

I remember that Airdrie game well, plenty gaps in the terracing, not sure how you could have thought it was anywhere near a full house.The final was a pretty low crowd too mind you
I`m not sure why people are thinking that semis should be played anywhere other than Hampden considering the SFA stupidly bought it.Its empty and unused enough as it is.
One guy said we should build a stadium in Stirling...why?? Where does the £400M + cost come from?

"I still think there should be a stadium in maybe Stirling that holds 35000 to bridge the gap"
That would be a white elephant.
Apart from other considerations, the local area does not have the transport infrastructure to accommodate a large stadium.

A few days later Hibs beat us 1-0 at Easter Road in the league - a result that ultimately went a long way to preventing the Pars becoming champions.
It may have been the re-scheduled league game from the Saturday cup semi ?

If you go on to the Dunfermline tickets app, go to the top right hand side and click on the three little lines for a menu. Then click on orders. This will show you where your ticket order is. But don’t click on view as it won’t allow you to do that (because it’s not DAFC that are selling them to you). Your order will transfer to the Hampden app on the day of the match and then you’ll be able to view / use them.

Hearts aren’t going to accept another game on their pitch, especially this season. Hampden doesn’t have regular fixtures, and no matches would need to be rearranged to accommodate semi finals and finals, so it makes sense in that respect.
