Jeez!! There won’t be many at this one.
Ouch. Given the current run of form that's pretty poor from the club.
7000 tops for this one.
If this is the case then fair enough, nothing we could do.Quote:

Mental. I'll still go, though.
Might be the first competitive home game I have missed for around 8 years. £22 is too much for this tie and barring some Christmas signings I might keep my cash in my pocket. Hopefully, it wasn't Hibs who wanted to keep this at £22
£22 and no discount for ST holders, absolutely scandalous. Will still be there though as always.
£22 for a game against Elgin is ridiculous. Will be about 5000 at this .
It's our first game in 3 weeks so you'd think reasonable pricing would've got a decent crowd of say 10k. The way we've been playing at these prices I think we'll be lucky to get 5kQuote:

We'll need to have a very good end to the year to see a decent crowd at this one.
Hibs are taking the p155 with those prices. £46 for an adult with 2 kids.....have a serious word.
It's hardly surprising. It's a Scottish cup tie regardless of opposition. I understand some people are strapped for cash at this time of year but a large majority just can't get enough of moaning.
Imo of course!

Scandalous. Even if we suddenly start winning games I can't see much more than 5,000 at this.
This must be down to Elgin City, because I cant believe Hibs would charge £22 a pop for this tie if it was down to us.
I'll still go, but I'm almost certain at least 3 of the 4 folk I usually go to games with wont because of the price. If our poor form continues this will probably be our smallest crowd for a game since our relegation season.

There are a lot of people still in that position and I would love the either the Fans Reps or the Supporters Associations to challenge this on their behalf and try to persuade the club(s) to change their minds.
If it was reasonably priced, 15 quid at most, and we had perhaps had a couple of decent signings, there's no reason we couldn't get about 10k for this match.

If the large majority really do like moaning, the club are making it easy for them with decisions like this eh? Even assuming Elgin were arguing for higher prices, Hibs wouldn't necessarily have to agree to them without some negotiation...?Quote:

Not going for £22 plus £12 for my son
I agree with you on the ticket price however Hibs make the exact same amount of money from the food kiosks whether it's a sell out or a few thousand.Quote:

Hibs might have tried to negotiate, but from my understanding (which was most likely the result of a conversation over several light ales so not necessarily entirely correct) Elgin don't have to accept anything below the "standard" ticket price for the season. Can't blame them for trying to make a few quid out of it.Quote:
