Cup final tickets let the scramble commence

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

I was just thinking that higher loyalty points could get 1st dibs, after all, what's the point in the scheme if there's no benefit?

Regardless, hopefully 2 per ST

As long as those who have supported the club throughout the season get their tickets, I'm not really too bothered how any remainder are distributed.

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

Maybe because the reality of family life means that for some Hibernian supporting families the upfront commitment of one season ticket is all they can afford. Seems a fair reward to offer an extra cup final ticket by way of thanks.

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

I agree 100% that distance be added to the ticketing equation but with the provision that those who have supported Hibs the longest go to top of the queue.
Another brilliant idea would be for Leeann to proclaim a letter writing contest whereby supporters would in no more than 150 words describe why they deserve a ticket more than anybody else. Leeann,Rod,Alan and Tam could be the judges.
Whatever allocation method is used I am sure that anyone who really wants to attend will get a ticket. I get fed up with all those threads with supporters/fans claiming their status is more deserving than others.

You don't, but you'll get the argument about rewarding ST holders loyalty by giving them 2 tickets. It's not an argument that makes sense, but it'll be the argument that's made.

There is no benefit to be gained given the amount of tickets we will get. There really would be no point adding an extra layer of admin in.

Every fan who's in that situation should have to complete a business case to get the extra ticket that they won't be using.

I don't think existing STs should get 2 as standard but if STs for next season come into play then those of us who have renewed should.

If the tickets are allocated per ST then I have 2 valid, one for this season and one for next, so should get the same allocation as those with one or the other ie 1 ticket per valid ST.

Remember there is another way to jump the queue, hospitality can be bought. This gets you a ticket before season tickets and loyalty points.

To be fair, the amount of free drink does that to me anyway.

[rotherhamrob]

Well to be honest,I'm not even going to try for a ticket due to not having enough points, so I've now got 2 choices, watch it at home or travel up to Edinburgh on the day and watch it in a hibs pub.
Well that was an easy decision, I'll get my tickets this week, all I need now is a couple of recommendations for pubs that will be bouncing.

I think/hope we go down the route of a ticket for every season ticket holder, and another if they've renewed.

The club could definitely do with the significant boost that could have on season ticket sales for next season, which would be great.

[Rory]

I don't think season ticket holders should get two tickets but I'm sure some might disagree

I agree with that. One each then it goes to loyalty points for non ST holders, IMO.

Agreed. The club need to maximise the benefit of reaching the cup final. Everybody on max loyalty points has a season ticket anyway so no need to bring them in to play.

I am [and have been for more years than I care to remember], a S/T holder, I renewed for next year two weeks ago. Nothing special in that, it's not uncommon or anything special. Point is, I want two tickets for C/Final, one for me and the other for Mrs grumpy, hope the Club offer S/T holders who renewed PRIOR to s/f the chance of two tickets.

I don't think anyone can argue with the fairness in that point.

[Scouse Hibee]

2 per ST held, if you have renewed you get 4 and then, loyalty points and then general sale.

I wasn't there but have well over 400 points. Suppose that makes me unloyal.

Definitely not. It does make you disloyal though.

It could be argued against, certainly. Two tickets per ST holder could potentially mean that somebody who never attends is at the final whilst somebody with loyalty points is sitting at home. As loyalty points are designed to reward attendance, that couldn't be fair. No system is perfect, and somebody will always be unhappy, but attendance must be the key indicator of access to games where demand outstrips supply. I would support one per ST holder then waves of tickets released in relation to loyalty points, as I think it's best of way of ensuring that those who have been along to watch the team get a ticket. If the spouse/parent/child of a ST holder has been attending, they will get a ticket from their own loyalty points. If they haven't been attending, that's just too bad; they must hope for general sale.

WE have one ST in our name, why should we get two cup final tickets each? That's 16,000 of the allocation gone instantly, leaving much less opportunity for non ST holders with loyalty points.

[sleeping giant]

Current season ticket holders should/will be guaranteed a ticket . Current season ticket holders who have renewed for next season should get 2.
New season ticket holders should get 1.

If you want tickets for cup finals , buy a season ticket.

Spot on.

Worked before so why change it? Do that and then allocate on loyalty points (excluding those who already have tickets through STs until the general sale).
