I seem to recall that all 3 entrants will be in the first qualifying round now. 

Yep, 29 June first game.

Are Sevco allowed to play in Europe? Serious question.

They will be next year.  They will be monitored from the point they apply for a license, and there have been clubs far worse off than Rangers who have applied and been granted.  Sanctions further down the line however, will be issued based on how things progress, or don't as the case may be.

When did Hampden start selling restricted view tickets, and where are they exactly?

Noticed that they have these for the semi final

Think they are up the back behind the goals - the score boards restrict your view a bit.

 

Found out yesterday that the first few rows behind the goal in the east stand are considered restricted view.

Picked up another 2 tickets for row B with a 3 quid reduction on each. Sold out now, eventually.

But that Phil bloke says the SFA sent the application back to Rangers ;-)

North & South sold out for Aberdeen. Only west left. Probably about 12/12500 sold. 

Think that means we will have a crowd of around 31k.  Looking forward to getting back to The Hibee end of Hampden.

cant quite believe this is our 5th Scottish cup semi final in 6 years.

Cup final prices announced

£35 and £20 for north and south stand.

£30 and £15 for east and west.

So a tenner more than the semi was. Also heard that the sponsors have snapped up a few thousand more for themselves so each team will have less for their normal fans.

Fair prices.

Allocation announced yet? 60/40 minimum surely?

:lol:

I realise you're probably on the wind up but you'd be surprised how many of our fans I've argued with over that suggestion. There's a real entitlement among some of our support.

50/50

Seems less than 20000 each. 

With more available if the initial batch are "sold quickly", whatever that means. 

Each account is allowed 2 tickets but i want to take my nephews to the game, who don't have many points yet. Don't know whether to buy two now and two later, or just hold off and hope to buy 4 if initial allocation isn't sold out.

Are you suggesting we shouldn't receive more?

A  guy I know who runs a supporters bus was saying last night it was to be 18k each and was advising his members that if they've missed more than one game this season to book the corporate package with the overnight stay in the Hilton to avoid missing out.

It's going to be a scramble for the lesser fans  :10:

Absolutely. It's a national cup final at a neutral venue, it should always be 50/50 if both teams can sell out.

I don't believe Aberdeen should be penalised for having a smaller support

But they should be rewarded for having both a smaller core support and less season book holders? What a weird world we live in.

Who's being "rewarded"? 

Two teams are playing a cup final at a neutral venue. Tickets are split 50:50. It's a pretty simple concept.

Macy in Hun mode with his WATP stance.
