| 203. Author: parsfan Date: Fri 17th Apr 2026. 17:32 Email from the club an hour ago says "over 10,500". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The universe is ruled by chance and indifference  Reply |

| 205. Author: BouncyPar Date: Fri 17th Apr 2026. 17:50 In fairness, it`s a bit of a guess from that lot. They had to change hands after counting to 6, and it got a bit complicated for them Reply |
| 206. Author: maradona86 Date: Fri 17th Apr 2026. 18:14 From The Courier. Dunfermline’s clash with Falkirk will set a new attendance record for a Scottish Cup semi-final in the modern era. Since the restructuring of Scottish football in the mid-1970s, only 11 semis have taken place that have not included one of the country’s ‘big city five’ clubs. Crowds for ties involving Aberdeen, Celtic, Hearts, Hibernian and Rangers will always attract bigger crowds. But, up until now, games not involving these sides have all drawn attendances well under 20,000. Dunfermline’s first trip to Hampden in 17 years, however, will see a crowd of over that mark descend on the national stadium. With ticket sales pretty much split right down the middle, the Scottish FA is anticipating an attendance of 21,500 for Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off. Dunfermline are expected to take around 10,500 fans to the south side of Glasgow, with the club laying on 15 buses and nearly 50 officially registered by groups with the East End Park outfit. That will make the crowd the biggest in a game not involving the big five since the 17,671 who watched Dundee United defeat Raith Rovers in the semi-final in 2010. Reply |
| 207. Author: Par Date: Fri 17th Apr 2026. 18:23 I think our final figure was 10800+, which when added to falkirk`s 10700 gives you the crowd the SFA are anticipating of 21500 Post Edited (Fri 17 Apr 18:26) Reply |
| 208. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Fri 17th Apr 2026. 18:52 neilholland999, Fri 17 Apr 17:10 They won`t be able to afford a semi final ticket then. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 209. Author: red-star-par Date: Fri 17th Apr 2026. 19:30 Sacktheref69, Fri 17 Apr 18:52 There`s a p155 poor attitude for you. In my opinion paper tickets should be available for those that want them. Football should be inclusive and accessible to all. I`m pretty tech savvy but I do yearn for the days where you queued up to buy a paper ticket for a big match or concert. Nice little memento too. I still have a big box full that I leaf through and some nice framed concert tickets, I miss getting those nowadays Reply |
| 210. Author: SusieQ Date: Fri 17th Apr 2026. 20:07 Agreed RSP - been to a few shows recently with no merchandise so absolutely no keepsake of the events. On a football front, there were souvenir paper tickets you could order for the Euro 2020 games, which were fab, but they never did it for Germany and none for the WC tho THAT might be a blessing given it would probably cost a million quid 😬🤔🙄 COME ON YE PARS!

| 211. Author: onandupthepars Date: Fri 17th Apr 2026. 20:21 neilholland999, Fri 17 Apr 17:10 - "There are also some people who cannot afford a smartphone or tablet, therefore they are potentially being excluded from being able to attend the match." Sacktheref69 Fri 17 Apr 18:52 - "They won`t be able to afford a semi final ticket then." -------------------------------- Maybe they can`t afford both, & prefer to spend their disposable income on supporting the Pars, or family, or something else they see as more worthwhile than having their brains fried by the latest manifestation of `Progress`.

| 212. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Sat 18th Apr 2026. 07:42 red-star-par, Fri 17 Apr 19:30 How is it a poor attitude? Tickets will cost more than a phone, so that’s a poor example to use. I do actually agree that there should be tickets, but unfortunately that’s just the way things are at the moment. Especially at EEP. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 213. Author: neilholland999 Date: Sat 18th Apr 2026. 08:09 It`s not a poor example. A typical smartphone might cost £15-£30 per month (perhaps over a two year contract). Tickets for the match are a one off cost of around £40? Given we don`t usually get this far in the competition, some people might want to use what little savings they have to get to the match.

| 215. Author: SusieQ Date: Sat 18th Apr 2026. 08:59 You don`t need to download the code - just open the ticket in the app & it`s there. At Hampden there`s a slot for your phone at the turnstile - you don`t need to enlarge the QR code or anything 👍🏼 COME ON YE PARS! Reply |
| 216. Author: DBA Date: Sat 18th Apr 2026. 09:06 neilholland999, Sat 18 Apr 08:09 You can buy a smartphone for £40 on pay as you go, no need for a contract. So yes, poor example. Reply |
| 217. Author: neilholland999 Date: Sat 18th Apr 2026. 10:01 I think you are missing the point, people shouldnt have to go out and buy a smartphone just to go to a football match. Reply |
| 218. Author: DBA Date: Sat 18th Apr 2026. 10:27 neilholland999, Sat 18 Apr 10:01 There`s no one who won`t make the game today due to the technology. You may not like it, but it`s the world now and it`s no longer excluding anyone, as everyone who wants to go will find a way. Reply |
| 219. Author: jake89 Date: Sat 18th Apr 2026. 13:02 Too late now but I probably have a couple of old smart phones around the house I could donate. Pretty old but might still be able to run the Hampden app. Reply |
| 220. Author: Par Date: Sat 18th Apr 2026. 20:50 Attendance: 25,237 and the entry system worked really well including multiple tickets on one phone. Reply |
