Just got an email saying hibs are introducing a loyalty scheme for ticket purchases. That should please a lot of folk.


Hibernian are today delighted to announce the launch of the Hibernian Loyalty Scheme.

The Club are constantly striving to improve arrangements for supporters. Recently this has seen improvements to the ticketing system, removal of booking fees, the introduction of print at home tickets and the upgrade of the access system.

Now looking forward to what could be an exciting end to the season the Club wants to be able to put into place a mechanism which tracks and prioritises not just season ticket holders when it comes to the must have ticket games but instead opens up priority ticketing to all supporters.

The next phase of this will see the implementation of the Hibernian Loyalty Scheme that will allow all supporters the ability to accumulate points against the tickets they purchase.

Supporters will be able to accumulate points throughout the season and this will prioritise access and allow ticket to be allocated in a points order.

HOW DO I JOIN?
All Hibernian supporters who are registered on the Club's database have automatically joined the Hibernian Loyalty Scheme already. If you have bought a ticket for a match, online over the phone or at the ticket office in recent years and have provided your contact details at the time of purchase then your data has been logged, giving you a unique Client Reference Number. Click HERE to visit the Hibernian eTicketing website.

HOW DO I UPDATE MY PERSONAL DETAILS?
You can change your contact details, e-mail address, telephone number etc. all in the My Account section of the Hibernian ticket website. Simply log in to eTicketing, click on My Account and select the Update Details icon.

HOW DOES THIS BENEFIT ME?
When tickets go on sale for hugely popular games where demand is likely to exceed the allocation, supporters with the most loyalty points will be able to purchase tickets first. Therefore attending more matches, home and away, means that you will have a greater chance of being able to attend the games where there is limited allocation.​

HOW DOES THIS BENEFIT THE CLUB?
The Club have introduced the print at home purchase option which has proved to be successful. It is convenient for fans and cuts down the queues on a matchday. We hope that the Hibernian Loyalty Scheme will have a similar impact. By supporters buying online and for home games using the print at home facility this does not only save you time and money, it also reduces the Club's ticketing administration costs and makes our operation more efficient. The Hibernian Loyalty Scheme will also support these efforts. Having up-to-date contact details will also allow the Club to communicate with supporters in a more tailored and meaningful way.

What are points awarded for?

Starting with the William Hill Scottish Cup tie v Berwick Rangers, every ticket purchased for any of the remaining matches this season will have a points value, whether it is home or away, cup tie or SPFL Championship game. If you have already purchased tickets for any of these matches, then we will make sure that these points have been logged.

Points allocated for the remainder of this season will be;

Ticket Type

Points

Season ticket Membership

150 points

Half Season ticket Membership

75 points

Home League Match

5 per game

Away League (where we have advanced tickets)

3 per game

Home Cup Match

5 per game

Home Cup Match (Cup Top Up)

5 per game

Away Cup (where we have advanced tickets)

3 per game

The Club may also run special promotions for additional bonus points throughout the season.



How do I get awarded points?

Points will automatically be awarded when you make an advance ticket purchase. This could be a purchase at the ticket office, over the telephone or via our official website. Points will not be awarded for tickets purchased at the cash turnstiles at Easter Road or when you pay cash at any away venue. Remember points can only be awarded once, so if you are making purchases for other supporters please ensure you quote their details in order for them to be awarded their points. You cannot assign points from multiple ticket purchases for an individual match to a single account.

How do I check how many points I have?

Supporters can view their loyalty points online via the “My Account/Booking History” link on your online account.

How will tickets be distributed?

In future, ticket sales will be done in point bands. This will mean that the sale of tickets will be staggered for the matches where there is a high demand for tickets, where those who have accumulated the most points by pre-purchasing tickets for both home and away matches will get the opportunity to purchase their tickets first. This will help stagger any queues at the Ticket Office and limit the numbers buying online at any one time.

Will points be awarded for other purchases I make?

The Club is looking at potentially linking other purchases to the loyalty scheme in the future. This may include retail parts of the Club but the priority just now is to launch the scheme with ticketing.

Can I update my personal details?

Yes and we’d like you to do this whenever one of your contact details changes as this helps the Club communicate with you. You can change your contact details, email address, telephone number, etc. all in the “My Account” section to ensure that we can keep in contact with you all the relevant news from the Club.

How do I add people to my network so their points are added to their account when I buy their tickets for them?

To add people to your network log in to eTicketing, and within the My Account section select My Network. You can then search for existing users to add if you have their client reference, or you can register a new user. Once that is done press search, and when the supporters name appears, select them to add to your network.

I share an e-mail address with somebody else on the database-is this OK?

A unique e-mail address is required for each user within eTicketing. Supporters who share e-mail addresses are requested to either register a new e-mail address unique to them, or ensure the main eTicketing user allocates tickets appropriately using the network facility outlined above.

I’m an existing season ticket holder - how will this affect me?

Season ticket holders are currently given priority to access tickets, before any public sale. Season ticket holders will receive additional points on their account as a reward each season.

I’m an existing season ticket holder - do I get points every game I attend?

You will be allocated an allowance of points for all your league home matches when you purchase your season ticket (150 pts full season and 75 pts half season). This will be a greater amount than if you had walked up to each home match so this is a benefit of being a season ticket holder. Points won’t be added on a game by game basis unless you are buying a ticket for an away match or a cup match (assuming you don’t have a Cup Top Up).

I have the Cup Top Up – how will these points work?

As you are already a season ticket holder you have been allocated points for the home league matches. As home cup matches come up your points will automatically be increased by 5 points for every home cup tie in the same way as your season ticket card is validated for entry to these matches. You won’t have to do anything else to claim you points.

I only ever use the pods at home or pay cash at away matches – will I get points?

The problem with this transaction is we have no means of tracking these sales. The Club has made significant investment into the ticketing system to allow supporters to buy tickets without incurring booking fees online or over the counter at the ticket office. These points are a reward for making a conscious decision and pre-purchasing. At home matches however any over the counter sales from the ticket office will be added to your account but this means that you might need to queue – to avoid the queues, book online and print at home. The points will go straight into your account.

Will my attendance at previous games this season also count?

No, the Club has had to draw a line at this point in the season and roll out the scheme for the remaining games and into next season. Points will however be allocated to full and half season ticket holders to ensure that they remain as the highest priority group this season before any general sale.

I’ve already bought for the Berwick Rangers or other future matches – will I get my points?

Yes. Points will be allocated to your account for each of these purchases.

I normally get my tickets through my supporters club branch, will my points be logged?

The application for Branches is usually received in one request to allow branch members to be able to sit together at matches. Going forward the application must include the names, contact details and customer reference of each person requesting tickets and the ticket office will ensure that the relevant points are added each individuals account.

Are loyalty points carried over from one season to the next?

Under this initial scheme no, but this is something that might be looked at and changed in future.

I have purchased a hospitality package for a game, do I receive points?

Seasonal hospitality members will be awarded points in the same way as Season ticket Holders. The points are linked to match attendance. If you buy hospitality for only one match your points will be awarded in the same way as they would be if you had gone online and purchased a ticket for the game.

Do I get double points if I’m a season ticket holder who upgrades to hospitality for a match?

No, your points are awarded against your seat which would be moved to hospitality for that game so only one allocation of points is assigned.

I’m disabled - how will that affect me?

Disabled supporters will be allocated points in exactly the same way. The only difference will be that carers where they are required for the disabled person to attend will not be allocated points. When purchasing tickets for games we are advised on the number of disabled seating tickets that are being made available to us. The disabled supporter can then apply for these tickets in the same way as other supporters depending on the points they have accumulated.

I was going to tell my mate to start buying his own tickets to get points but on 2nd thoughts, I'll keep buying his and gaining points :wink:

I've got to buy my Berwick ticket ( ST holder minus CTU) plus my mate & my brother are coming along so win win there! My mate also wants Rangers & Jambos tickets and no doubt Hampden as well :thumbsup:

Not sure about points travelling outside of Scotland as the club might base them on how far you live from the Border :rolleyes:

Surely West Stand ST holders should attract a slightly higher points allocation above the 'rest of the stadia punters'?

Good idea from Hibs. I thought it was easy to follow then came on here and that's clearly not the case. The max anyone can have at the moment 155 points. ST 150 plus 5 BR.

Delighted that fans who go to the games are rewarded with first dibs on cup final tickets

27-02-2015, 05:17 PM
Good move.

Removes any doubt about who gets tickets for big games. The more games you attend the more likely you are to get a ticket. Fairs fair.

Only thing missing imo is points for those who subscribe to HTV. That's a lot of overseas fans who make the best financial contribution they can and should be rewarded for that. Unless it's there and I've missed it.

Hear where you are coming from, however, this is for matches like for example, Stenhousemuir away in Cup, when tickets are scarce, this takes care of people with most points first. Great to see this being implemented now.....

Pretty Boy
27-02-2015, 05:20 PM
One other potential issue is it may affect groups wanting to sit together at say a cup final. I'll fall into the top bracket due to my ST, CTU and relatively regular away attendance. A few mates I go with are only regular walk ups. If an initial cup final allocation is say 1 ticket for 150 points and above there's no way I'd risk waiting for a lower bracket to sit with mates. I could, in theory, end up sitting at a big game on my own.

Me & ma bro both have season tickets , but as I sort everything out , season's renewals, away tickets etc I have him in my network on my online account so as I can get him tickets same time as me, problem is I've been given 150 points but he's got 0, we both get to as many away games as poss, but if he's not getting given any points when I get tickets for both of us I'm a bit concerned we'll have problems getting tickets for him, for the big games like possible playoffs, semi & cup finals were tickets are at a premium

The point of the scheme is that those who attend the most games get tickets for the bigger games. I'm not doubting many Hibbies who attend occasionally are still Hibs daft but they should be further down the que than regular attenders

Why's that ? Nothing to stop them buying tickets to get their points up. Berwick Cup game is especially good value at £15 for 5 points instead of the usual £22. If if I lived abroad I'd defo get one now just to get ahead in the queue of all the thousands of free-loaders who'll rock up for those precious Cup Final tickets :greengrin

In theory this is a good idea. In the 20 odd years of supporting Hibs, I don't think I have ever not had a ticket for a match.

If we find ourselves with an away game in the play offs against Falkirk or QOS there's going to be a fair old scramble and this scheme will help most of the regulars. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if those who buy a season ticket for 2015/16 in March or April get pushed further up the pecking order when it comes to play offs and any further cup games.

In the short term those who have PATG all season are going to find themselves pretty far down the list.

You're never going to introduce something that is 100% fair to everyone and you're never going to get approval from everyone.

But it is transparent and reasonable and I have no complaints with it.

A point system is fair enough but why not award 1 point per game like the TA or 1 point per home and 2 away. What's all this 150 points carry on??

Foreign based fans are ****ed aswell.

I wonder if future shareholders feature high in the points table?

Brilliant idea.

You're never going to introduce something that is 100% fair to everyone and you're never going to get approval from everyone.

But it is transparent and reasonable and I have no complaints with it.

Can't do fairer than reward those that go most regularly.

You're right though, there will be those that don't appeove.

A point system is fair enough but why not award 1 point per game like the TA or 1 point per home and 2 away. What's all this 150 points carry on??

Because ST holders commit their hard earned up front. It's on that money a big chunk of the budget is based.

I have the Cup Top Up – how will these points work?

As you are already a season ticket holder you have been allocated points for the home league matches. As home cup matches come up your points will automatically be increased by 5 points for every home cup tie in the same way as your season ticket card is validated for entry to these matches. You won’t have to do anything else to claim you points.

When your mate orders the tickets he can allocate them to your client reference number so you get the points. He won't get extra points as far as I can see by not allocating the ticket to you. I bought an extra couple for the cup for my mates sons and didn't allocate them to anybody but just got the 5 points for my own ticket.

Seems like a good idea . Won`t make any difference for Hampden cup semis ( would if played outside Glasgow ) except choosing better seats but if we play Celtic in final this season it could make a difference and obviously this is not just about this season . Presumably something will be awarded to Hibs TV season ticket holders or for a new membership including Hibs TV for overseas fans . What about Kicks For Kids etc ? Reading people talking about buying a few tickets for a match and getting points for each ticket but presumably that`s not the way it works . I know people who`ve been to about 20 home matches in last 3 years but aren`t even on database so I suppose they have to use their names in future instead of letting others buy .

Hermit Crab

Points system sorts out the real fans from the ones who only go when the teams winning or when the weather is good. Going to be interesting when it gets to the situation of very few tickets being available and how hibs will handle it. 150+ points get first shout then work down the numbers from there?? Ibrox will be intruiging only 900 tickets.

DH1875
28-02-2015, 07:54 AM
So do you or dont you get double points if you buy 2 tickets but dont allocate them to some one else.

On a side note, why would we worry about tickets for Ibrox. If we play them in the playoffs Im sure they have to give us more than 900 tickets if we want/need them (which we will).

Its a great idea to have this loyalty scheme and I agree that those attending most matches should get first priority. However they seem to have forgotten overseas supporters once again in their plans.
As it costs me about 100 pounds and 18 hours to travel to each match, obviously I tend to pick the bigger matches like play-offs and cup finals to travel to watch. I also subscribe to the overseas HibsTV season ticket , buy stuff online from the shop, buy shares in the club, etc .
I know in previous seasons, the club have arranged for overseas supporters to get tickets, and for that im very grateful , it would be nice to somehow formalise our priority status for big match tickets. A lot more advanced planning needs to go into travelling from Hongkong to Scotland and its less stressful to have prior knowledge that a match ticket will be available for me.

Maybe they plan to separately give priority to overseas HibsTV annual season ticket holders, rather than include us in this scheme?

Loyalty Scheme is a great idea and the points appear to be pitched about right, ensuring that those who support the club financially are rewarded. However, the club also needs to recognise that not all fans are either financially well-off or physically able to get along to games e.g. o/s fans. I'm sure there are plenty of ways of making these fans feel more welcome and rewarded with points for things other than shelling out cash.

And I agree if its mainly about match attenders then the club are right - I guess the board are relying on just the loyalty of those who don't enjoy the pleasure of being able to get to a game every week to ensure they keep their money flowing in - Its a low risk strategy as many do make sure cash gets to the club in other ways precisely because they can't get up.

People who are geographically challenged are getting a little bit back, with the SPL so popular now some games are to be taken abroad from 2017.

How far would you go back? In your eyes it should be taken from the start of the season but what if a supporter has had a season ticket for the last 15 years but due to a change in circumstance this year hasn't been at all, through no fault of his own, should they then be entitled to points?

As it started this season then I think it's only fair to include this season. I'm not looking for anything out of the ordinary - you bought your season ticket for this season and you get your points for it - that seems fair to me. Due to my circumstances at present I'm not in a position to be able to sign up for a season ticket so I do what I can to attend every home game and some away as well.

Do the points roll over from season to season - so when season ticket holders this season renew for next season that'll be reflected in their loyalty points?

As it started this season then I think it's only fair to include this season. I'm not looking for anything out of the ordinary - you bought your season ticket for this season and you get your points for it - that seems fair to me. Due to my circumstances at present I'm not in a position to be able to sign up for a season ticket so I do what I can to attend every home game and some away as well. Think of it as a "pay as you go" option. I've paid from the start of the season, just as you have, but my money will only count from next week on. Does that seem fair to you?

Ok lets start it from this season, i have paid at the gate for every home game and away ones too, how many points should i have?

The really clever thing about this scheme isn't just that regular attenders will rightly get priority for games where tickets are scarce, it's that it will trigger people's competitive natures and encourage them to buy season tickets.

You can see it happening on this thread already e.g.. "I've got 158 points na na na na."

Well done everyone who was involved in making this happen...at last.

I wonder if loyalty points will be awarded for getting free hospitality at Tannadice...:wink:

Surely the launch should be at the start of the season in that case?

IMO they are recognising that there is potentially 3 playoff away games and a Final to mean that it has to be rushed in as soon as.

Maybe you are right, but to be fair those who do go now and also go to the away games should get priority over those who only want to go to the odd game. Nobody forced me to move so far away, i'm guessing its the same for everyone else who is not currently living in Edinburgh or the surrounding areas.

It's something that has to be looked at. Maybe you could start the next season with 10% of the previous season's total, plus 2 points for each year that you've held a season ticket or 1 if you bought a half season. Depending on the club's records that could be backdated for three years or simply introduced for 2015/16.

I don't have a season ticket myself but see no reason why those who pay up front to attend every match (even if they don't make it) shouldn't be rewarded for doing so.

It's a pity the club have started this so far into the season and are unable, so it seems, to backdate it to the start of the season - particularly as there's the possibility of a grandstand end to it with Hampden and play offs a distinct possibility.

And how would the fans that have attended be able to prove that they have been to all these games? You may have bought tickets online so that would be easy to trace but what about anybody who paid at the gate? There's no way in the world for them to be traced so is it fair that they miss out on points?
The fairest way is to have a starting point, after making everybody aware of when that is and taking it from there.

One other potential issue is it may affect groups wanting to sit together at say a cup final. I'll fall into the top bracket due to my ST, CTU and relatively regular away attendance. A few mates I go with are only regular walk ups. If an initial cup final allocation is say 1 ticket for 150 points and above there's no way I'd risk waiting for a lower bracket to sit with mates. I could, in theory, end up sitting at a big game on my own. No one has asked the question yet if I buy a ST and I top up with cup games do I get extra points . and I have not had an email yet

I have the Cup Top Up – how will these points work?

As you are already a season ticket holder you have been allocated points for the home league matches. As home cup matches come up your points will automatically be increased by 5 points for every home cup tie in the same way as your season ticket card is validated for entry to these matches. You won’t have to do anything else to claim you points.

Reason I ask is that I'm a full ST holder and pretty regular away attendee so will fall into the top bracket. The person I attend with is only a half ST member. If, and it's a big if, we get to the cup final we'd obviously like to sit together. In an ideal world I'd like to buy 1 for each of us in the best possible section rather than wait for the other person to become eligible and sit in an, imo, inferior area. Obviously no one really wants to sit at a final on their own if they are a regular attendee with A N other.

Do you think they'd do two per member though? It would kinda void the loyalty scheme cause the guy with 160 points could give his other ticket to his brother/wife/auntie jean who have never been to ER and the bloke with 50 points doesnt get anything cause there's no tickets left.

This. IMO they will do the same as previous years. 1 for existing ST Holder and 1 for renewing. So in effect existing ST Holders would get 2. Unless for some bizarre reason they decide to not renew.

Hibs have pitched this right. 150 points for a ST will mean that any walk up fan is always behind ST holders for big games.

It says on the official site that careers wont get points.

I’m disabled - how will that affect me?

Disabled supporters will be allocated points in exactly the same way. The only difference will be that carers where they are required for the disabled person to attend will not be allocated points. When purchasing tickets for games we are advised on the number of disabled seating tickets that are being made available to us. The disabled supporter can then apply for these tickets in the same way as other supporters depending on the points they have accumulated.

Maybe the fans rep could ask these questions and let us know?

Not heard much from Amit on here recently.

They certainly used to (I did "shoving" duties for a pal a couple of times).



That's my understanding.

Mine too.

In which case, Hibs are right not to give any individual carer loyalty points.

I am a carer for my disabled son and we both hold season tickets yet l only have 5 points?????

Do you not get given one as a plus one though in which case this is probably about right?

So if my son wanted to go to the game and l could not get a ticket he loses out?

From what Ive read, whatever match you want to go to will have a disabled allocation, your son, with the points he has will get priority over those tickets, those tickets are 1 + carer. So essentially your working off you sons points....I think :greengrin

If he needs a carer does he not automatically qualify for the "extra" ticket/place?

But not all grounds offer disabled spaces and we buy full price adult and child tickets, that option has now been taken away from us.

How often does it happen that tickets for matches at these grounds are prioritised?

Mostly the scrambles are for cup semis, the derby, etc.

I'm aslo pretty sure that the club would sort out people who need carers in the instances you mention.

So how do carers earn loyalty points seeing they go everyweek but cant get any points. That is totally out of order.

I think the "loyalty" is meant to be towards the club, rather than towards the carer's companion.

The carer doesn't actually contribute directly to the club's attendance income, which the loyalty scheme is designed to encourage.

That will be the club's attitude, by the way; it's not necessarily mine.

The carer is ST holder with card,client ref. etc. They have always been classed as ST holders and as loyal to the club as you are. Why should they lose out on the chance of a cup final ticket after years of regular attendance as ST holders?

Is the point not that, despite their loyalty to the club in body, there is little in money?

So they attend every week, have their own ticked but can't get loyalty points for this. Lets just tell the carers they're not real supporters then. Outrageous!

Why don't you and the other carers, maybe through here or by talking at the game on Sunday, get together and approach the club collectively.

That might achieve something.

Also, is it not the case the disabled person buys 2 season tickets, one for them and one for the carer. If so should the disabled person not get double loyalty points at the very least?

Hi everyone,

Not had time to check out the details yet but I have logged in and have seen that I have no loyalty points. I pre-book my tickets and attend around half of the home matches and have been doing this consistently over the last 3-4 years. Can someone explain my situation to me? Like I've said, I've not had time to read all the thread or the FAQ, so if someone could kindly answer my query it would be much appreciated!

Do they actually buy it, though?

They are season ticket members paid for by the disabled person but are SEASON TICKET MEMBERS, non transferable.

I think the case is that one is paid for and then they have another ticket which is to be used for a carer, whoever that may be on the day. Most obviously need a carer so they can get there so one goes with the other.

However, from a devil's advocate point of view its very tricky to reward loyalty points to both the ticket holder and their carer for essentially one purchase, albeit both have to attend. Chances are though they will still benefit in the big games by their carer also being able to get a ticket with their priority.

The carer gets their season ticket for free. For example my little boy who is 2 receives higher rate DLA so next season, not that I will be as I want my own loyalty points :greengrin, I could theoretically get me & my son a season ticket for HIbs for £150 (or whatever the child season ticket costs next season) as I would only need to pay for his season ticket & I would get mine for free.

This is why the carer will not get loyalty points as again in theory if we made a cup final next season then the carer & the person being cared for could get 2 cup final tickets for whatever the price of 1 adult or 1 child ticket may be.

The ticket is non transferable and the disabled person buys 2 tickets. Anyone who believes a carer should not receive loyalty points needs to have a word. They have ALWAYS had all the perks of a ST holder and utterly rightly so. How would you feel attending everyweek in paltry crowds with your own ST card, cliebt ref. etc. and being told you can't get points for this and therefore may not be at the cup final. It is nonesense.
