No point comparing our sales to those of Hearts.
Mind that we give thousands away for free, have thousands more cheating the concession system and no one else will renew when Lennon, McGinn and Allan all leave.

Not until season 19/20. We got out while there was a decent alternative, otherwise we would have stayed for another season.
It looks like they'll be premium pricing seats, rather than corporate, when it happens. There's been no final decision on that yet though.
Again I disagree, we’re here to win football games and hopefully silverware. To do so we need to maximise our income to give the management team the greatest resources possible to building a winning team. If we are successful a by product of that will be a growing fan base.
I agree that we are not at the waiting list stage yet but we would be a lot closer to that stage if we put a cap on season tickets. What we’d end up with is a number of fans (including kids) who wish to commit to supporting the club at every home game, unable to do so in order to favour those who wish to pick and chose their games.
It makes it very difficult for the ones that can't afford season tickets then but also a no win position for the club .
It's just incredible we are having a conversation about No seats being available this early in pre season.
Imagine a couple of good announcements and watch the remaining seats go fast ..
Great being a hibby just now

When I win the lottery that family section in the FFL is gone in favour of safe standing, same with the South lower.
We have sold approx 12,750 season tickets and according to JKB the wee team are sitting at about 12,250
We sold 500 less than them last season so there has been a 1000 swing towards us this season.
Both clubs have sold to the diehards and had the bounce of the beginning of the general sales.
None of the clubs have made any big signings.
Can see the present gap being maintained with them eventually selling 13,500 and us selling 14,000 :na na: .
We did but it isn't an issue.
Phase 1. is existing season ticket holders renewing.
We began this phase earlier but importantly gave those supporters a longer period of time to purchase than Hearts.
After this phase we were ahead at almost 11,900 to Hearts 11,400.
Phase 2. is the general sale. Hearts began theirs well before us and naturally overtook us going to 12,000 sales whilst we had sold just under 12,000
Last week we began the general sale phase and by Monday had sold over 12,500. I estimate we have sold another 250 since.
Hearts have been selling about 15 a day for weeks now and will be sitting at about 12,250.
Phase 3. for both teams there are folks waiting to see who their team signs or loses before committing.
We have the initiative kicks for kids which will purchase 150-200 season tickets.
Finally both teams have the folks who always purchase at the last minute.
In conclusion i think both teams will sell another 1,250 each and we will be the big team :hibees
Seems to be a few people getting their knockers in a twist about what we'll do when we've sold the whole of the home end as STs.
Considering how unlikely that is, I wouldn't worry too much about it,
I’ve not seen anybody getting their ‘knockers’ in a twist here, just people discussing their different viewpoints in civil manner. This place would be a pretty boring message board if nobody ever discussed hypothetical situations.
Also, the discussion wasn’t about what we'll do when we've sold the whole of the home end as STs, the discussion was about putting a cap on season tickets to prevent this ever happening.
If there was no walk up availability, all that would happen is that STs would be shared by people unable to attend with friends or family, plus we now have the release your seat option. Everyone who wants to get in will be able to.
There will always be walk availability in the south stand. No need to cap season tickets.

Still think we should fill in the corners. Maybe not with seats, but it surely can’t be that huge an outlay to fill them up right to the top with advertising/screens etc.
IMHO we still have to cater for walk up fans. Plenty Hibs fans out there can’t afford a season ticket especially if they have kids. We have to make space available for those fans.
