1. Belong to a flavour of the month group. Attendance at games not necessary as long as you sing a wee bit at the games you attend.(attendance at other away games, or early round cup games not necessary
2. Know a player, board member, ex player, ticket staff, sponsor, workman etc(attendance at any previous game not necessary
3. Join East Lothian HSC(attendance at other away games not necessary
4. Ignore the club when they tell you you will be logged out at noon
5. Ignore the club for at least 15 minutes when they say the game is sold out
(attendance at other away games not necessary
6. Get to know Tracey and hope her bairns aren't going to Tiny or Ibrox(attendance at other away games not necessary)
7. Log on to as many devices and as many browsers as you can making sure you have a variety of log ins at different times with at least a couple around 29 minutes before tickets go live
8. By an AST for as young a member as you know and take the hit on the games you don't go to upgrading to adult as required.
9. Lastly as a wildcard write to LeeAnn expressing how well she has done generally bit make it clear she has a blind spot on ticketing and needs to do hugely better as she leads us from one shambles to the next

The only points I don't agree is the singing section. It's not to say they are not away season ticket holders.
Don't think you can buy a kids away season ticket without an adult purchasing one.

Novel idea.
Stick in, train, and become a first team squad member.
Guaranteed tickets, easy peasy. Easier than going on line to try and get them!!

Missed out on a ticket last month and same again today, I'm annoyed and frustrated however this is just a bit embarrassing.
At the end of the day there are ~13,000 season ticket holders (and countless others) fighting for a far fewer number of tickets. I think the e-ticketing system has major flaws however these 2 derbies have been the only times it has failed me in particular. There are possibly 'fairer' ways to distribute the tickets among more 'loyal' fans but there will always be a huge number of Hibs supporters who don't get to go to games like this. Like I said, I'm frustrated but it's an understandable situation and I'm more than happy to cheer us on from the pub on the 21st.
It's also worth remembering that it's only around 5/6 years ago that we were getting given just half the Roseburn end and struggling to sell that. I'm glad we as a club are in a position where there is such excitement and demand for tickets in the lead up to these fixtures, even if it means I miss out from time to time.

I've been very lucky and have got tickets either with loyalty points or by making sure I give myself the best possible chance on the online shambles. I'm so glad I ignored the club advice and logged in at 11.31. Also glad we persevered after the official site said sold out and got another few tickets.

Let’s bring back the good old days of taking a sickie or holiday and standing in the pissing rain for hours. That’ll show who the real fans are. 😂

As I mentioned before, I took the hump the last time we were there.
As a "football watching experience" it was pitiful, and I have zero confidence that this time it will be any better.
Hibs at Tynecastle was always one of my favourite fixtures, always a big one to look forward to, even if many of the games over the years haven't been great. But the last time we were there I just came away wondering what kind of f*****g mug I was for shelling out what I did, to get a restricted view ticket, to have stood outside the ground for 40 minutes, to have missed the only interesting incident (a criminal refereeing mistake that robbed my team) in the most diabolical game of football ever seen - two teams horribly short on technical ability hoofing each other around a bog.
Baws to getting het up trying to get a ticket for more of that.
I'm quite content tonight. I might watch the game on the telly, I might not.
Fair play to all of you clamouring to get tickets for this one.
The scabbiest of victories and it will have all been well worth it, and those of us who have missed out (either deliberately in my case or not in some others) will be gutted we've missed it.

To flip that around, we've got to choose who we are going to piss off, implement a system on that basis, and stick to it. Those who are sufficiently pissed off might drift away, new folk coming in will be happy with it. Them's the breaks, but it will seem fairer the longer it is in place. OF fans are happy with their ballots, Jambos are happy with their established loyalty point system. Either of these systems work fine.
I don't think that what we have right now is quite right though.Last edited by Smartie; 10-01-2018 at 07:50 PM.

And to suggest I would be happy to see lower crowds is just daft

Additional steps:
1. Dry your eyes. You'll never see the telephone keypad or web browser clearly if crying your eyes out.
2. Sour grapes - avoid at all costs as sensitive .net types are susceptible to a sore tummy.
3. Don't worry too much about 0.8% of tickets going to a group (of season ticket holders) the club deem worthy of receiving them. The effort they have put in to establish a signing section and countless hours organising displays has been rewarded with a measly 30 tickets out of 3600. Most of the songs at the game will be influenced by them, whether started by them on the night or was a song introduced by them. Clearly the club believe they enhance our support.
Have a great night whether at the game or tuning in to TV/Interweb.
Take care now.

10. Threaten to not buy a season ticket next year unless you are not allowed a chance of a ticket at every big game (attendance at other away games not necessary)Last edited by wookie70; 10-01-2018 at 07:55 PM.
