I bought mine and my sons season tickets before the end of the march cut off to take advantage of the interest free and the slightly cheaper price. I know there's a lot of talk about season ticket boycotts and also we have about 4500 sold at the last guesstimate so how does that influence people if a genuine plan was too withold buying one?
I wouldn't be keen on just cancelling my direct debit and it affecting my credit score, I don't even really feel like cancelling it at all because hibs need the money. The silence is deafening coming from Easter road though and the idea that nothing might actually change and it will just keep funding the chumps we have in charge from the top to the bottom grates on you the more you think of it.

I would send them a letter asking for a refund but you will withdraw the request if Petrie leaves and the club set out a credible plan for getting back to the premiership.

I have sent an email and apprently the funds are already accounted for so no refunds will be given.

That was pretty much my response. They said that they provided the goods buy entering into an agreement that I would have a season ticket for 2014/15

To be fair, relegation was only confirmed on Sunday and everyone at the club had a day off on Monday, so there hasn't been enough time for them to decide anything on next season's prices.
I realise it's difficult, but maybe everybody that has already bought one could wait to see what the club has to say before deciding to cancel.
Another week or two before making a decision won't make much difference and I'm sure you could still cancel them, if you wanted to.

I think trading standards would maybe have something to say about this too. When purchasing the ticket, I would assume you thought it was for Premiership football, having done so myself there was no indicator on the website stating it maybe a championship ST at all. The club would therefore be an easy target for anyone wanting to sue them through the small claims court. You may not be able to quit the finance agreement, but you can certainly claim the monies back from the club as they have received the cash from Zebra or Raph collections.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

The folk who will be least affected by a boycott of STs or games in general will be STF and RP.
The ones who will suffer are those of us still willing to support the team and the team itself .... not to mention the hot lassies in the ticket office who will no doubt be looking for employment elsewhere ..... now that would be a shame.

Too be honest I'm not quite sure what I'm getting at with the post. Just frustrated they have the cash already and it's all went pear shaped. I'm sure there will be statements from the club when it's all sorted out. If there charging premiership prices they should be signing premiership players though

28-05-2014 06:20 PM #246. This season member card gives access to the specified seat for all Hibernian FC first team Scottish Premier League matches at Easter Road Stadium.
Point 12 of the T&Cs is perhaps more relevant:
12. In all circumstances, refunds are at the sole discretion of the Club.

Don't panic. Maybe we'll only pay six instalments instead of 10. Sounds about right.

Also, you can't say that you thought you were getting a Premiership ticket as we "looked safe" since the rules of the Scottish premiership are freely available and well known. It was still mathematically possible and if you bought a ticket then you took that calculated risk.

A season ticket is a vote of confidence in Rod Petrie.

No it's not, it's a commitment to follow your team no matter what. Rod Petrie doesn't enter my mind when I buy one, nothing much does to be honest or I probably wouldn't bother

You've got to see the bigger picture.
I renewed our seasons in March and we won't be using them as long as Butcher is in charge but it's a contribution to the wider community.
In the season just finished, I like to think that every penny of our season tickets went into Ryan McGivern's wage packet. And that the silver-haired colossus spent it all in the pubs and clubs of George Street. That would have enabled the Titan with the sweetest left peg since Barry Prenderville to buy a lot of champagne, beer, shots and bombs. And the establishments in which he spent my money would have used a goodly part to pay their impoverished staff. Everyone a winner!
