Not all ST holders though I assume.

Nah, plus a few pay at the gates that might.

If you do think we can win then don't go.

Great. A ticket will go to someone who thinks the club can win then.

Those 90 points for joining HSL are worth their weight in gold.

First and foremost, why after a joyous win so we have a theoretical rammy over tickets we don't even have yet?? Words fail me...

Secondly, why should anyone who goes to one game have any special privilege over anyone else with points showing their loyalty. Or is someone who goes to a semi final more loyal for one match than someone who goes to a pile of matches with much less glamour? Equally someone going to ONE remote match in ****knowswheresville on a cold midweek night is no more loyal than the punter who rocks up regularly.

It's simple. Attend lots of games. Get lots of points. Then you're loyal as per the definition and the scheme.

Or is this utterly stone radge??

Off to sink more celebratory beer whilst the uber fan or rather uber loyalty ticket brigade work out who's worthy of supporting our club at the final....

The bit in bold is supremely ironic given you just did exactly the same thing as you're criticising everyone else for.

Can I be the first to say that whatever they decide to do it's out of order and makes a mockery of something.

Yup and I'd love to go to all the games but I work/am skint/live in Timbuktoo. Using ST or loyalty points is discriminatory against my very specific circumstances. I expected better of Hibs.

***OtleyHibs*** · 16-04-2016 08:31 PM

I have little to no chance of getting a ticket for the final which is fair enough, if I get one in general sale then fantastic, if not I will happily sit in my living room beer in hand to see us lift the cup!

Let's just enjoy the victory for tonight and worry about it later. I'm still trying to get my head round wanting the rangers to win tomorrow : )

**h18eeynick** · 16-04-2016 08:48 PM

What about a totally different way of allocation ? I get fed up of hearing about armchair fans etc . What about first tickets go to those who travel the furthest ? I am sure a lot of people travel further than me but 100 miles each way is still quite a slog and how many living in Edinburgh would go to every game if it took 5 hours there and back including parking etc

When have Hibs recently given 2 per season ticket holder for a big game where demand outstrips supply?

Its not going to happen.

2012 & 2013. Existing ST got one ticket and another ticket if renewed for next season.
I know that because me and the wife were able to buy 4 tickets between us.
No reason to change that for this final imo.
On the basis we have 7 or 8 thousand existing and renewed ST holders, if they all bought their 2 tickets, there'll be 4K to 5k tickets left for a more general sale. Of course not every ST holder will buy 2 each, so that will leave even more for general sale.
Whatever happens not everyone will be happy.

This is what should happen this time round.

Today's crowd for cup semi final was shocking. If I were Hibs everyone there today should be guaranteed a cup final ticket. There was obviously the odd person who normally goes that couldn't make it. Now the cup final brigade will be crawling out the woodwork looking to go. This is where loyalty points really count.

Total nonsencse IMO. Club have played a blinder here by not offering loyalty points for the semifinal. Between the semis and the final we should make plenty so I would imagine the club will do something to include playoff tickets and cup final tickets. Something along the lines of 2/3 game packages as lets face it, playoff home game where the club get all the cash means more then a four way split when your already guaranteed the cash.

Is there no tolerance left in this world?

There are Hibs fans in every corner of the world. Do you grudge them trying to buy tickets for a final?

The travel cost to Scotland for me far exceeds the cost of a season ticket for an entire family.

The Hibs family is not going to get happier with myopic views like yours.

**LustForLeith** · 17-04-2016 06:45 AM

Me and my son just got our first season tickets for next season but because the points are frozen we don't have the points to show it.

I'm hoping that Hibs review this and give new season ticket holders the chance to get tickets for the final

***lucky*** · 17-04-2016 07:41 AM

Hibs sold over 14000 tickets for today and whilst I'd like all who went a guarantee of final ticket it's hard to do. So for me it will be the loyalty points system. Hibs commercial team will want to use the final as an opportunity to sell STs so I'd imagine it will be 1 ticket for this years final and another if you renew your season ticket.

Assuming the people that get two tickets are not so fat they take up two seats, that would mean, logically, they'll give the ticket to somebody else.

Now, considering the fact that the people that attend regularly will be pretty much guaranteed a ticket themselves, that'll mean the extra ticket will be going to somebody that never actually goes to a game.

How exactly is that rewarding Loyalty to the Club?

Maybe so or maybe the ones that can afford it.
Would you say it was fair if anyone there today missed out on the final?

It might be. What if someone's been to 15 games this season and a punter went today "for the day out"

So if you can't afford a season ticket but follow every game you can your not loyal?, rubbish!!.

Follow or go to every match? There's a big difference.

***haagsehibby*** · 17-04-2016 07:51 AM

Well, living abroad I think there's little chance of getting a ticket but I booked my flights yesterday since I couldn't bear the thought of not being in Edinburgh should the quest finally be achieved.

I've argued this previously on here. You've got 1 season ticket - why do you need 2 cup final tickets?

***Libby Hibby*** · 17-04-2016 07:52 AM

2 per current ST's (with different dates depending on loyalty points) then a general sale...That's the way I hope it works, should leave 5k or 6k for the general

If we got half the tickets there will be no need to do different dates.
