Good scheme and good idea to cap it to give other fans a chance. I'm looking go a few away games but every one is impossible

[Borderhibbie76]

Not happy with this tbh or the scrapping of loyalty points - all because a few kicked up a fuss. Work dictates I can't go to every away match but I go to 90% of them and now under this new scheme of risk missing out on tickets of I don't buy an away season ticket?? I understand they can't please everyone but to scrap loyalty points after 2 seasons is bizarre

This seems a terrible idea that even Hibs don't want the fans to take up..

If I sign up can I opt out of purchasing for certain games?
No, signing up for the away season ticket commits the supporter to purchasing a ticket for every away game in the Ladbrokes Championship, Betfred League Cup, Irn Bru Challenge Cup and William Hill Scottish Cup. Please note it does not apply to the UEFA Europa League.

Do I get to choose my seat?
No you don’t, you will be allocated a seat. This means that it may not be possible for you to have a ticket beside those who don’t own an away season ticket. If you apply as part of a group your tickets will be allocated together.


What happens if the away club doesn’t provide tickets to Hibernian for sale in advance of a match?
If the Club doesn’t receive tickets from the away side we are not in a position to allocate you tickets as part of the away season ticket scheme.


What if there is a ticket promotion at a certain game e.g family price?
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to be part of this once signed up to the away season ticket – you will be required to pay the full amount of the match ticket.

Aye sounds good!

Hibs will make no money from this scheme so they are rightly limiting the administration required as much as possible. This is being put in place so a small group of fans who attend every away game can guarantee themselves a ticket - there is no other benefits or incentives and neither there should be.

Surely the point of this like the Loyalty points scheme is to allow fans who attend more often the ease and opportunity to get a ticket before someone who goes now and then rather than to make money.

Someone may go to the majority of away games but can't justify financially signing up to paying for EVERY away game, never mind persuading the group they usually go to these games with to sign up as well.

But when we draw the puddle drinker or TRFC they can potentially lose out to someone who hasn't been to a game in years just because they are on the database.

It's not a fair system and it's not productive to settling the problems that come along when we have a limited amount of tickets. The reason loyalty points were brought in in the first place.

Totally agree and still haven't worked out exactly why the loyalty points scheme was scrapped. I just don't see the point in this at all.

We have had zero explanation from LD as to why this was scrapped it really angers me as all that money spent going to matches the last 2 seasons and our points are now just scrubbed. This away season ticket is bizarre to say the least...I would welcome comments from our Board representatives on this as most of us seem very unhappy about this??

Bit uncalled for ...personal insults not really necessary...I put my opinion across and as someone who had nearly 600 loyalty points I'm unhappy it's been scrapped.

Could be worse. Some of us bought STs every year that the loyalty points were in force and now have the same points as my Auntie Beryl, who hasn't been to a Hibs game since the 2001 cup final.

When the Loyalty points existed, the vast majority of comments were complaints. Now it doesn't, the vast majority of comments are about how good it was and how pish the new system is.

I'd hate to work for the club. Imagine trying to do anything new when you know that folk are going to moan about it on the internet.

And some folk REALLY go on about it.

Think it's a decent idea to save the most loyal of away fans the hassle of having to buy their tickets every other week. However, to scrap the loyalty points based ion 350 people that can go to every away game (and leave anyone who goes to 90% with nothing) is bizarre.

Hearts have had loyalty points for years - does anyone know if theirs works well?

[cabbage_88]

Utter nonsense this away season ticket. Loyalty points system worked absolutely fine!!

Too many complained re LP system, now its scrapped. This is a compromise

[Albanian Hibs]

Will no doubt miss any away midweek cup games plus one or two away games due to holidays booked so its not worth it for us. Wont be a problem getting tickets anywhere apart from dumbarton imo. It still leaves nearly 1600 for falkirk if we sell the 350 away season tickets so shouldnt be that hard to pick up tickets.

[Ken]

Well done Hibs, exactly what was needed.

• Away season ticket for those 150-250 fans that can commit to go to every away game and therefore can deservedly guarantee their ticket

• The rest of us season tickets holders get equal priority to purchase the remaining away tickets for each game

The amount of amount resource Hibs must have spent in the last 2 season dealing with queries and complaint regarding the LP scheme, is money the club can't afford to waste.

At the end of the day we only sell out a couple of games a season prior to general sale.

I think we'll be doing very well to sale anything like 250 of these.

Pretty ***** IMO. I usually miss one or two away games a season. When I say miss its usually cos i've booked a holiday or weekend away 8 months before hand. Never missed an away game simply because I can't be bothered. Means for a crunch game at the end of the season, people who have been to 90 plus percent of away games, will be in the same 'draw' as potentially 9000 other ST holders who havn't been to an away match all season. Utter pish.

Loyalty worked for me. Only ones moaning were the ones who didn't have the points...

Those moaning never went anyway. Shame to see LP scrapped, but the moaners won in the end

Not true.
I was no fan of the loyalty points scheme for a number of reasons and I was in the top tier. I certainly wasn't the only one.

[bod]

do the tickets get sent out to you or is it pick up at the ticket office ?

So you're happy to potentially miss a league winning title match at Dumbarton because someone who has not been to an away game all season snapped up your seat? Thats the reality of it. Hibs being useless as they are at times should never have got HSL involved.

[pacoluna]

I have just purchased this. I will be losing money instead of saving which I thought the purpose of a season ticket was however I cant be bothered with having to compete with non season ticket holders when tickets are on general sale. Disappointed as I have never had problems getting tickets before using the loyalty points scheme or before that.

Can't both systems be used simultaneously?

The Dumbarton games went to public sale last season. It's not something I'll be taking up, I'd be fairly confident of getting tickets anyway.

That's a pretty **** scheme all in all, and is way worse than what it replaced.

[scoopyboy]

I liked the loyalty point system and IMO should have been retained.

The ones making most noise about it were the ones who only went to away games occasionally.

Only mistake for me was the nonsense with HSL.
