How hard would it have been to open up the turnstiles at the famous five to sell tickets rather than using "three windaes"?

the only thing would've been co-ordinating all the seats they do that with computers and phone sales and online sales - they'd up double selling the same seats all over the place....

Or...

An express windae/turnstile - cash only/exact money; and perhaps limited to 10 or less tickets per person.

It's just nonsense to have people queue up for hours to replace the application form system that has been used in the past.

What's going to happen tonight if they shut the windaes before the queue finishes? Who knows, eh.

I'm in total agreement with gunner though, much better to put an application in with the bounce in future.

I'd love to see someone standing in the queue then handing over 150 season books then walking away with a wedge of 300 tickets - then seeing the face of the boy standing behind him in the queue

seems fair enough - how about cash turnstiles - one for family enclosure a turnstyle for behind the goals and one for the south stand.

if your wanting seats for different areas then you join the big queue....

I reckon something like Bobby suggests could work, well for the CIS Cup anyway, as they are all pre-printed CIS tickets. Unlike the normal Hibs ones you buy for a game at ER which are printed out on the shop computers.

Hibs would've took delivery of 26K tickets from Hampden, they could've done as B says, announced a "cash/cheque only" sales area(in the FF) and split the tickets into blocks, so many from the North, Family & South stands for cash, ditto for phone & card sales. The Ticket Office computers are used mainly to verify card sales and ST details. If you chose to do a cash only transaction then you would have to take your book with you. Anyone abusing the system could easily have their ST withdrawn to cull the temptation of a double buy of tickets.

With so many media outlets at their disposal, as well as a mail drop option to all ST holders this could've been put into a workable situation.
