Motherwell and Hibs in classy Scottish Cup price move as clubs unite in quest for packed-out Fir Park

Motherwell and Hibs have come together to agree a price of just £15 for tickets to their Scottish Cup quarter-final clash next month.

The two sides face off at Fir Park on March 13, with a 12.30 kick-off for BBC television coverage.

Both teams are looking to get a big crowd in despite the match being on free-to-air TV and together have agreed a cut-price scheme.

Clubs share gate receipts in the Scottish Cup and both Hibs and Motherwell have agreed that adult tickets will be priced at just £15.

Concessions will be £10 and tickets for juveniles will cost just a fiver.

Motherwell CEO Alan Burrows announced the move on Twitter, as he urged fans of both teams to turn out in numbers.

"Hopefully a big crowd to roar the teams on in what will no doubt be a proper cup tie in a match that rarely disappoints."

The reaction on social media was positive as comments flooded in praising the move.

One Twitter user wrote: "Brilliant pricing well done both clubs hope fans of both turn up in numbers and we get a great game."

Another said: "Superb from both club affordable football for such an important game. Place will surely be sold out."

A Celtic fan commented "this is class" while a Rangers supporter said "If only other clubs would do the same".

An Aberdeen supporter noted that he felt the prices for the previous round were reasonable, but wondered why the reduction for this one.

Burrows explained: "I think both Hibs and ourselves were/are cognisant of the fact it is a 12.30pm kick-off on a Sunday, live on free-to-air television, which changes the dynamic a little."
