From BBC Sport:

Tickets are to be made available at Hampden Park on Tuesday evening after only 5,000 advance tickets were sold for the Scottish Cup semi-final.

The decision to hold the replay between Dunfermline Athletic and Hibernian at the national stadium has been criticised by some within both clubs.
And the SFA had originally intended to have no tickets on sale on the night. But a spokesman said that the change came "in the light of slower than expected sales by the clubs".

That should be a cracker of an atmosphere in a 90,000 seat stadium, the crowd is going to sound like a fart in a whirlwind.

Yet another reason that the SFA suits look completly clueless.

Sorry, I meant all of the SF games.

Hibs/Dunfermline - game one - 25336
Hibs/Dunfermline - game two - 8536
St. Johnstone/Celtic - 28339

For the Scottish Cup semi-finals at Hampden, it is a pretty poor showing by everyone. The SFA really needs to look at how they are running things.
