Saturday’s crucial Edinburgh derby between Hibs and Hearts is a 20,400 sell-out.
Hibs yesterday announced that the few remaining home tickets at Easter Road had been snapped up.
Despite being in the midst of a five-game losing run, which cost manager Robbie Neilson his job on Sunday, Hearts sold out their 3,500 allocation last week.
Sky Sports have opted not to televise the game live but Hibs have offered a pay per view option for the 12:30pm kick off through their in-house TV.
Both teams are struggling for form going into the game, with Hibs having lost their last four games, a run of results which sees Lee Johnson’s side sit just one point ahead of seventh place Livingston with two games to go before the split.
Hearts dropped to fourth behind Aberdeen last weekend and trail the Dons by two points.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
