Hearts have only been handed 20,000 tickets with Rangers given the rest and the club have been left unhappy.
Hearts have been left "disappointed" by the decision not to award them an even 50/50 split of the tickets for their Viaplay Cup semi-final with Rangers.
The Jambos head to the national stadium on November 5 for a showdown with Michael Beale's team looking to make a final against either Hibs or Aberdeen. They had asked governing bodies to award them a 50/50 split that would have seen around 25,000 Hearts fans given the chance to attend and cheer their heroes on.
But they have only been given an initial 18,000 which could rise to 20,000 while Rangers have been given the rest. And that's left the capital club miffed as they released a statement reading: "Hearts supporters will be housed in the National Stadium’s South and East Stands, with an initial allocation of 18,000 which may rise to 20,000.
"The club would like assure fans that we requested and pushed for an even 50-50 split of tickets, but due to previous sales history and the inability to segregate Hampden’s North Stand into subsections, this request was denied. Naturally, we are very disappointed at this outcome but we are confident that Hearts supporters will take up our full allocation and turn Hampden into a sea of maroon.
