I always assumed all the blacks seats in the West Upper was for hospitality people. At yesterday's game, Hospitality was sold out, yet the seats in that section were half empty.
Given these are some of the best seats in the stadium it seems ridiculous they lie empty week after week. Is there no way these could be put on sale to others?

I was a walk up yesterday and had a pretty rubbish view in the South. If they said for a few extra pounds I could have 'upgraded' to the West I would have.

It was an unexpected comp.given to me just 15 minutes before the game
There were plenty of empty seats around me
It was players (both teams) and relatives/friends. A lot of kids tooLast edited by Mick O'Rourke; 20-08-2017 at 08:21 PM.

It's a good point and one of my bug bears.
Why on earth should the best seats lie empty?
if comps are to be handed out fine.If they dont turn up by 15 mins before their seat will be sold tell them.
It's dispiriting for the ordinary fan to sit and look at all these better seats unoccupied when he's paid hard earned cash for his inferior pew.
It also looks rubbish to see these big gaps.
A system for getting that big black gap filled shouldn't be too difficult.
Sell them last minute at a premium for example.

If they still want that area to be differentiated for comp tickets only again restrict the number sold and rip out either the front few or back few rows and replace them with the standard green seating and sell those as normal season tickets

I agree with comments of posts #11 and#12
It would be interesting to know how many comps. are given to players and staff.
Both of Hibernian and opposing teams..and others
They are great seats and if not being used by the above ,they should be offered to "fans"
But like the guy that gave me the comp. just before kick off, if i did not take the seat,it would have been vacant.
I suspect many were like that. No shows!!
Hibernian maybe need to look at the general issue of comps.and how many they dish out, given the match.
Probably in Cat A games, the section will be fuller.
None the less, the club must have known that section would not be "full" on Saturday
Tin hat time.
I might add a number of people who were sat near me did not appear to have much interest on what was happenning on the pitch.
Wives, wags and kids !!
The i phone seemed to be more popular!!
In saying that, i lost a bit of interest too.
But PERSEVERED.....
Until the 3rd goal went in !Last edited by Mick O'Rourke; 21-08-2017 at 05:55 PM.

I really don't see this as much of an issue to be honest. And I can say wholeheartedly they I've never been dispirited by the number of people sitting in the 'posh' seats!
It WOULD become an issue if we were selling out EVERY home game and had a waiting list for tickets... But in the mean time? It's a nope from me.
