What would make you buy a season ticket?

***matty_f*** · 22-06-2015 06:29 PM

This is a question to everyone that could (financially /geographically/no time limitations) buy a season ticket but hasn't done so already.

What would get you to buy one for this season?

I live too far away...otherwise I would.

No TV coverage and every game kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday.

***Eyrie*** · 22-06-2015 07:09 PM

Time.

I had a season ticket throughout the 90s and used to plan my weekends around home games. But life changes and my commitments and other interests mean it wouldn't be worthwhile for the few games that I can make.

That said, my intention is to go more often as I enjoyed the games that I did get to last season.

let's be honest..... you don't really want to get one do you ....

IF you can afford it. You should get a season ticket. Even if you know you will miss a fair few games, and it doesn't make financial sense in your head, it will make a difference to the team on the park. Its the only way to guarantee more investment in the playing squad.

***Greencore*** · 22-06-2015 07:13 PM

I want my team to get money to spend on new and better players. I want to be there for Hibernian.

That depends on how many games someone can make. I can see your point for someone who can attend fifteen games, but not if it's only five.

Having a kid and them wanting to go regularly. As much as I still love the club and will fight tooth and nail for them I no longer have the time and unfortunately the draw is no longer there anymore.

well, thats a very individual choice...if they can afford too, I'd urge anyone to get a ticket even if they can make few games - it's an investment in the club...if you can't, then fair enough....

As things stand, looks like I'm destined to remain a " pay as you go customer" and thus keep my options very much open.

I can afford the season ticket, but I can't justify it when I'll probably make half a dozen games. There are more deserving charities than a football club if I want to just give money away to make the world a better place.

I have however invested through both HSL and shares in my own name.

Agreed... I wasn't having a dig at any supporters. Its a tough call...but short term getting a season ticket will bring more to the club than HSL....in the short term.

Value for money, sorry but I'm not paying £380 to watch hibs play livi/raith etc.

But it won't change without people buying STs...

**Salt N Sauzee** · 22-06-2015 07:44 PM

Too expensive. Can't justify spending just about 400 on a season ticket to watch us play part timers.

I'll remain as a "pay as you go" customer for now I think.

**Smartie** · 22-06-2015 07:45 PM

There being about 2 weeks to go until the start of the season, seeing the team taking shape and getting excited about the start of the season.

It will happen but I've not renewed yet.

Actually, last season it was Scott Allan signing. Renewed the same day as we clearly meant business at that point.

And the 2 years before I renewed early to get cup final tickets.

But normally I do it just before the start of the season.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 22-06-2015 08:02 PM

Promotion and games that are a bit better than training matches.

**SkintHibby** · 22-06-2015 08:05 PM

The only thing that would make me buy a season ticket is if RP announced he was leaving the club with immediate effect.

Not going to be popular but I agree 100% with your statement. Rod goes and I'll buy two right away.

As much as I applaud the club for a change in communications and direction the architect of who got us here in the first place still lurks in the corridor of Easter Road.

It's an opinion I don't get though.

You dislike someone yet allow them to dictate what you do in your free time? Doesn't make sense to me.

I don't disagree. He's still allowed an opinion though.

Don't except many to agree with me PB but it's how I feel. Not saying thousands are like me but the question was asked and I answered.

***Ringothedog*** · 22-06-2015 08:40 PM

I support Hibernian not Rod Petrie. This "I would buy a season ticket if rod petrie leaves" is just another excuse not to buy one. When he leaves another excuse will be found and so it will go on.
