Sevco away allocation

[SirDavidsNapper]

I didn't pay much attention to the Premiership last season but did anyone cut Sevcos ticket allocation? I know Hearts did but unsure if anyone else. Aberdeen maybe? Was great when Hibs and Motherwell did it in 2015 playoffs. Would love us to do likewise. Would rather have more Hibs fans in the south and less Sevco. Especially with being shoved in a tiny corner of the bigot dome.

If we can sell them we should be doing that to everyone. I can tolerate a full stand of Merricks as long as we get one at the PBS.

If it means another 1000 Hibs fans can get tickets then of course we should. Unfortunately i think the club would take the easy money rather than losing however many seats they would for segregation..

I think that might be the clincher when any decision has to be made as well.

Given the current animosity between the two supports, I'd imagine any segregation area would have to be quite large.

Get it right up them!

Hope we slash tickets for the ****bags - we'll fill a portion of the South no bother! Changed times for us - give them the 900 they give us!

And that's being generous - they give us 1.8% of Ibrox. If we gave them the same in ER it would amount to 230.

If we did that, it's unilkely Hibs supporters would be in the seats in the upper tier directly above them.

Added to the segregation area between the two sets of fans, that would mean the club effectively turning down roughly £30-40k of income.

[Sir David Gray]

We should give them the same percentage of Easter Road that we get for Ibrox - approximately 400 tickets. Then stick them in the bottom tier and put Hibs fans above them and arm the Hibs fans with coins, cups of juice and pies.

**** them.

PS I realise we can't actually do the last part of my suggestion but no reason why we can't give them the bare minimum if the demand is there from Hibs fans.

I would do that with every single away support except Hearts, on the understanding that we still get our usual allocation for Tynecastle.

There will be 3 stands of Merricks at the PBS :)

Its a Wednesday night game bud.

In order to cut Sevco's allocation we would need to sell around 18,000 tickets (excluding hospitality) to Hibs fans. Considering we will probably have around 12,600 season ticket holders I dont think thats unreachable.

This. With record season ticket sales do we need a full stand of bellends?

No chance. It's on the telly.

[TelaStella]

If it were up to me I wouldn't be giving them any tickets whatsoever and if that should mean hibs missing out on a few sales then so be it

Hibs will not turn down the chance for "easy money". Unless they play silly buggers with us regarding tickets for the away end at Ibrox they will get the full Dunbar end when we play them.

[Topographic Hibby]

A very strongly worded statement from Hibs about titles and cheating, then let's call their bluff about boycotts and their much sought after Blue pounds (aye, right). Sevco reduce their ticket allocation by their own hand and our place is a far more attractive place for us to take the kids to ER to see them whopping Der Hun.

Simples.

This £30-£40k loss per game is what HSL should have aimed with their latest pitch. Fund us keep the Huns out 😎

[High-On-Hibs]

The days of relying on dirty money are over. I say GTTF. Open the stand for the underprivileged who can't afford to attend regular Hibs games.

Make up your mind, do you want Ranger Fans or not!

They will give us a pathetic allocation for Ibrox as usual. We should do the same in return. We don't need their dirty money.

30/40k loss, if we manage to recruit the right players, hibs fans buy the tickets and keep the zombies away then we turn this into a bigger profit through merchandising sold at the match. Pies, juice, sweets, strips, program not forgetting blooding our future. Hibernian - Reborn.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Celtic and Hearts are our biggest games. Why let Sevco have whole stand? Infact Aberdeen should get more than the wee tribute act

Was hoping this thread would be about the second game of the season and our plans for the first game against the evil huns post cup win.

The game at Ibrox is the game you get away season tickets for, the game 900 Hibs fans take the cup win, distill it into a 90 minute wind up for the Huns resulting in a total heads gone moment for the entire home support and the entire Rangers “institution”. I want a comfortable victory, an overly policed Hibs support goading the Huns with turf from hampden, bits of the posts, masks of Halliday doing the “I’ve got this”. I want statements, outrage in the daily record and a 10 year investigation into just how Hibs were so brazen to rip the complete pish out of the Huns, not once but twice.

Then let as many of them who can stomach it into ER, and do it all over again.

The thing is if we got given even half the broom loan stand we wouldn't come close to filling it but we'd still be charged for all the tickets whether we sold them or not.

Them on the other hand will fill the dunbar end no problem.

[Hermit Crab]

Tickets for our game at Ibrox can't be far away from going on sale. 4 weeks until the game roughly.

In fairness to both sevco and Celtic, there has been times we've struggled to take 300 to those stadiums. Whereas they've probably never failed to sell out the south stand once.

Spot on. Lets not kid ourselves here......The Old Firm and Yams will get all the South Stand each time they visit. Its the easiest and quickest way to make £600k+. We are in a great place with season ticket numbers but not yet in a position where we can sell 19k tickets for these games especially lunchtime live TV games.
