Whilst the hospitality is available for most games isn't this a substantial price hike for this particular game?
I wouldn't pay for hospitality regardless of price but for me personally the offerings around this particular game (both home and away) have felt a bit like profiteering.
I get that there are market economics at play, but even then I think they are taking advantage of folk desperate to be at the games.
I thought the Tynecastle one in particular was ridiculous.
I get that we need to make money but maybe if they had got their act together over the cup final merchandise then they would not need to be treating fans like a cash cow now to try and make up for it.

Whether it's a rip-off or not all boils down to how fast you can drink complimentary bevvy!

wouldn't pay it myself but good on Hibs making as much out of this as possible- all money for the club. Marketing side, I think, is much improved.

It's been an offering all season. Clearly a market for it and doesn't impact the seats in the main stand so have no issue with it. Fair play to the club for offering different options.

FWIW - I arranged the hospitality at the Cup Final that included a 3 course lunch and debenture seats at Hampden. I knocked them out for £130 a pop and I could have sold untold amounts. Admittedly folks had to buy their own drinks as there was only a couple of bottles of wine on the tables, but like you, for what's on offer, £200 for a night to remember seems decent.

Selling this many tickets is a good news story, it's sad how many Hibs fans only see it as another excuse to whinge.Every gimmick hungry yob,

While the Persevered table may be SLIGHTLY overpriced, you are paying for a one off experience and when better to do it than a derby. The standard hospitality I found to be excellent this season. £80 for a season ticket holder - 3 course meal, free bar (and theres beer and wine on the table when you arrive to get going), comfy seat, good banter from Barrie the stadium announcer who does the matchday MC'ing now instead of Grant Stott, and pre and post match player interviews.

The marketing guys have to have something to sell.

I dont think its too bad a price to be fair and the club will always sell hospitality at home games especially for big games. Its not as if people are missing out by selling these seats as everyone who really wants to be at this game will already have a ticket.
The selling of "hospitality" tickets for the Tynecastle game was a disgrace though and I hope the club dont go down that road again.

They should make as much money as possible on Wednesday but the Tynecastle hospitality was a nasty, **** you fans, money grab given the tiny number of tickets available.

I'll be there. About time the club started catering for the premium market. I'd probably have gone more upscale to 500 pounds per head - keep the ruddy riff-raff at bay.

Every time the club release hospitality tickets and prices there's always a debate around the cost. Hibs have reduced the price of 20000 other tickets, compared to Hearts, so we can hardly say the club is creaming fans for cash so if anyone who has the money can have a wee treat. Don't see what the issue is.
