Hibs boss Jack Ross admits he is struggling to understand the decision allow so few fans in for the clubs Scottish Cup showdown.
The Scottish Government have rubber stamped plans to allow 600 fans in total as both the Easter Road side and St Johnstone look to lift silverware.
The SFA originally applied to Holyrood to have 2000 fans inside Hampden for the showpiece event.
The decision comes on the day UEFA confirmed Manchester City and Chelsea will be given 6000 tickets each for the Champions League final in Portugal on May 29, and ahead of Hampden hosting Euro 2020 fixtures.
Hibs have announced plans to give his players and staff 60 tickets for family members, with the remaining 240 going to Hibs season-ticket holders.
However, Ross admits he can't see the logic in allowing so few punters inside the 50,000-seater stadium.
He told Planet Radio : "There's been a lot of things over the last year and a half I've understood, but others I've struggled to get my head around.
"And I can't quite understand this decision. I'm sure, as always happens, that people will come out in the aftermath of anyone complaining and point out why they're right and we're wrong.
"But I do find it baffling to be honest. We should never underestimate the significance this game plays in a lot of people's lives in Scotland.
"So I do think it's a little bit peculiar that we've only let this amount of fans into the ground. It would be nice to have a clear explanation.
"I know there has been reasons offered for it. I think for normal people - those who aren't blessed with scientific knowledge or information - it's quite a difficult thing to comprehend.
"One of the reasons given was about need for the two-metre distancing outside. Now I may be mistaken - and if I am I apologise - but I think from Monday's it's a metre distancing required for indoor hospitality.
"Yet it's two-metre distancing outside for the final. I'm a layman when it comes to science but I don't quite get that.
"It's a shame, especially when you see that not that far away in the same country, because we are part of the United Kingdom, there is an awful lot more going to be at another cup final.
"In the not too distant future, there's going to be a lot more people than 600 inside the same stadium.
"So I just find it difficult to comprehend. I feel it's a missed opportunity to have a lot more people participate in something that means an awful lot to them.''
