No, she definitely said she was holding one back for Iggy Pope on .Net...felt he was a fine recipient

She's no need. Iggy is sorted this time.

Hold up. Is it right that she is quoted as doing this with the intention of helping her neighbour, so that said neighbour needn't trouble his / her self with the 'hassle' of trying for a ticket? The same hassle that most on here have thrown themselves into this morning? Uneasy behaviour to my mind for a board member, voluntary member or not. Blasé even that she is happy to reveal this.

Did find it surprising when she came out with those words in the podcast, not against the rules & lots of people probably do it, but when feelings are running high, and lots of us are having to go through that hassle to get a t8cket it doesn't look great in my opinion.

i thought it was nice too hear her being open about what she was doing with her away tickets...

I'm sure I've seen it on the board somewhere.

Maybe she omitted to say her neighbour was a long standing season ticket holder.

She's stayed within the rules as I can see it. She did us all a favour, by telling the neebs, not to bother going online, and save space for the rest of us.

Are said neighbour and friend even STH's?

I must admit I listened to the whole pod cast and Tracey won me over. I'll take honest and naïve every day of the week over someone that keeps their cards close to their chest. I also happened across some of her Facebook replies and I think she is doing a good job trying to fight fires unfortunately she is getting handed a hose that sprays petrol from the board

come on now...she is the away season ticket holder x 3....its absolutely fine what she did - let's not make an issue over it. Frankly, Tracey could have got herself a free ticket via her board role is she fancied it...

Come on now, tickets are non transferable strictly speaking...

How do we know she didn't get another ticket through her board role?

I think it is an issue her doing that and the "singing section" getting tickets kept aside for them. Is it fair if they get tickets kept aside for Parkhead (allocation 1000 approx) or Ibrox (allocation 900 approx)? I don't think so.

two completely different points....

don't think there is anything to say "away season tickets" are not transferable - infact as you can upgrade them - clearly it is within the rules. Feel Tracey has simply been open - let's not discourage that..

agree with your singing section point - seems a strange decision

They are clearly transferable if they switch from being a child ticket to an adult.

Fair enough.

Just catching up on this thread and maybe I’m being thick or missing something but firstly how is it possible to upgrade a kids AST if the money is automatically debited from your account? Which raises the second point is it only her that is able to do so because of the position she has within the club?

You would just need to call the TO before the cash was debited

What a load of red and white , back door gratuities !
Common sense really , nothing for nothing in this world .
Talk is cheap .

***CallumLaidlaw*** · 10-01-2018 08:33 PM

I don’t really understand why anyone has taken issue with this. The 2 tickets were taken anyway by her away season tickets. It hasn’t done anyone out of tickets. In fact, it may have saved another 2 being taken. Why are folk desperate to find fault with anything? We really don’t try to support our own do we!?

Well said, some just happy to stick the boot in while throwing in a question to make it seem fine.

I reckon you would probably speak to them after money debuted and pay the difference. Can’t see the TO changing price before money debuted as it would be a lot of hassle.

It wouldn’t be any hassle at all. Would imagine it would be more hassle if they had already issued a kids ticket to then have to upgrade that to an adults one but only take the difference rather than the full amount.

It’ll all be automated with amount and bank details, to change one amount would probably be hassle. They don’t issue tickets there and then, you collect them, so to rock up and pay the difference when collecting would be less hassle than amending a system which is all automated. All IMO of course. Not that it makes any difference lol it must be possible and fairly straight forward for it happen.

Yeah I would imagine it’s straight forward enough. As you say it makes no diff either way lol.

Just as an aside, the tickets can be sent out if requested 👍🏼

Would that just be the first time?

lol. You are a trier I’ll give you that

At the moment there is no difference ...to either fan.

Actually, unless you are a sponsor- where paying money to Hibs seems to give you access to high demand tickets

For me , it’s the fans who go to games that few want to go to. For example- Those who went to ICT for the cup tie after we had lost the league cup final - not only did they deserve priority for tickets they deserve a medal. Consistency of watching Hibs week in and week out , should earn the right to watch Hibs when tickets are hard to get

Your Fan B is a great (mad??

) person - very committed to the club - but donating to HSL, should give them no ticket rights...Fan A earns them - as he has gone to the game

Cheers, I was up there. **** drive in a full Nissan Pixo too

Wow. Who misses out due to Tracy upgrading then passing to a friend? Nobody because her kids would potentially be going in any case. Who can begrudge her this miniscule 'perk' given the abuse she has to put up with on here. Would anyone bat an eyelid if it was for Ross County away? No.....but because its a derby you get the same self righteous few each time who like the sound of their own voices having a pop.

Agree 100% Brooster. Some folk could do with actually thinking about what they’re typing before hitting reply. Any opportunity to have a dig at folk.

Would people rather she left the 2 seats empty if she doesn’t take her kids to tynecastle? An away ST is a big financial commitment, and she can do what she likes with her tickets imo.

I couldn’t care less about tickets but there seems to be this myth taking hold that the fans reps have to put up with scandalous abuse on here. The only ‘abuse’ that I’m aware of [recently, at least] is someone calling them “thick” before swiftly being shot down and editing the post to remove the word. Ffs, if I get through a day with ‘thick’ being the worst thing I’ve been called by Mrs and Mini-Beefster then it’s been a great day.

See, this is what irritates me. The two reps were interviewed about a crucial meeting, of vital importance to loads of Hibs fans, and in my opinion and the opinion of many others came across like they didn't know their brief, hadn't prepared and didn't have the skills to do what they were supposed to be doing. Now, it's a thin line between saying that and saying that they sounded 'thick', but it's true. It's not 'abuse' to point this out.

You are obviously correct, however someone will no doubt be along to 'abuse' you for stating the obvious!
