Meanwhile, Hearts are facing picking up the tab for any unsold tickets in the semi-final.
The Tynecastle club fought hard to secure a 50-50 split of Hampden Park for the fixture.
As part of that deliberation, it's understood Hearts chiefs agreed to cover the cost of any unsold tickets from their 21,000 allocation.
As of Monday, April 8, it's believed 16,000 tickets had been shifted by the Premiership's third-placed side.
So, with less than a fortnight to go until the big day, 5,000 have still to be sold - and so, the club will need to fork out for the briefs that are unaccounted for.
It's not yet known if this situation will affect future ticket allocations for the Jambos at the national stadium.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
