Scottish Football Association cuts Scottish Cup final ticket prices

The Scottish Football Association has announced that concession tickets will be available for the Scottish Cup final for just £5.

Children, students and senior citizens will be able to see the match between Falkirk and Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Hampden Park at the reduced rate in an effort to fill the stadium.

Fans' groups from both clubs had previously stated that they hoped ticket prices would be reduced and the SFA has responded by selling family ticket bundles for £60.

"This year's William Hill Scottish Cup Final promises to be a wonderful occasion, one that will capture the imagination not just of Falkirk and Inverness Caledonian Thistle fans, but their respective communities at large," SFA chief executive Stewart Regan told the Daily Record.

Scottish Championship club Falkirk have an average attendance of just under 5,000 this season, with Inverness averaging around 4,000.
