Scottish FA Aims For Family Cup Final

Inverness Caledonian Thistle will take on Falkirk in the Scottish FA Cup final on 30 May, the two sides having caused semi-final upsets against Celtic and Hibernian respectively.

The prospect of a 'half-full' Hampden Park was raised by some doom and gloom merchants in the aftermath of the semi-final weekend but the match has given the Scottish FA and the two clubs the chance to work together and promote it as the 'Family Final' with prices reduced accordingly.


Concessions tickets for Under-16's, Students and Senior Citizens are just £5 with Adult tickets ranging from £15 to £30 in the hope of attracting neutrals along to the venue as well.


The Scottish Football Supporters Association have welcomed the move and both clubs say they have already had a number of enquiries from outside their normal fanbase while a family festival will be taking place at Lesser Hampden.

Inverness chairman Kenny Cameron told the BBC: "There will be a major exodus from the Highlands on the day plus we'll have supporters travelling from a range of countries. It should be a memorable occasion."


Both clubs will be confirming ticket selling arrangements shortly through their respective websites.
