Even if it was money off items bought in the shop, or something alone those lines.

Personally I don't think hibs do need a system for unused tickets, how many games so far this season have we needed to do this 3? Seems a lot of effort for such a small amount of games.

Of course people should get something back if they release their seats. It would be a reward and an incentive.

Honestly can’t understand why people, who have already committed to buying ST, would want some of that back when they can’t make the and, thus taking money back out of the club when the whole point f it is to give the club as much money as possible (without them having to spend a penny more than they already have).

It's also not pointless for the fans who get to see the game.
Have you ever said or thought "I can't be arsed" about doing something simple? Have you ever forgotten to do something?
I'm sorry, I can't be arsed helping you understand the effect of practical incentive on motivation any better than that.

If, as we all hope, this season isn't a flash in the pan as regards attendances, then Hibs will need to look at the pricing of season tickets again - in particular the £25 kids tickets. It makes no business sense to sell tickets for an entire season for £25 when a large proportion of them go unused in games where they could be sold for £28 for that fixture alone.
I don't know what the best solution is, maybe start selling parent and child 'cat B' season tickets in the South lower for £300ish? With a 'bolt on' of, say, £25 for additional children.
I've also never really agreed with Hibs' flat-pricing for tickets. The tickets on the halfway line should, in my opinion, be a few quid more expensive than in the corner of the FF. And I say that as someone who'd probably stump up for the more expensive option.

Why are so many failing to see that ‘donating’ your unused ST seat back to the club benefits the club and no one else....! That should be inventive enough!! Showing a little extra SUPPORT for your club!!
Why else do you bother attending games other than to support Hibs, both in spirit and financially!!
You can be a fan of a club and never buy a single match ticket or pieces of merchandise... or you can be a supporter and do as much as you can to support the club!

I think the £25 season ticket is a great idea when supply exceeds demand. Even if a kid only goes to four games a season that's fine by me - maybe they'll go to six next season, a dozen the season after that and become full paying adult season ticket holders in due course.
However now that we're at the stage of selling out big matches I think it's time for a rethink of pricing structure. I'd make it £25 for Cat B games only, and if you want Cat A games included you pay full kids price for it (think that's about £75?). That way it's accessible for parents who want to ease their kids in gently, and it's still great value at around £4 a game for kids who want to go to every game. It means people are making a conscious choice up front on whether they'll take kids to hearts / Rangers / Celtic matches so should be fewer empty seats too.

The issue is not entirely isolated to the pricing of kids season tickets, there are lots of adult season tickets bought purely to ‘support’ the club and only a handful of matches are attended... when this is the case I find it difficult to grasp why some of these ‘supporter’ feel they should be rewarded for their non attendance when asked to donate their seat back for the sell out games.

I’ll miss the derby, it will be my fourth game I’ve missed due to illness, family and work commitments. But I’ll still renew as I like sitting with my mates and giving Hibs my contribution. For sell out matches Hibs should have a simple system for releasing your seat. Whether you should get credit for doing that I’m not sure. But one thing we all like to see the stadium full

Currently loads of people, for various reasons, do not release their unused seats, regardless of what you think should be their moral duty.
If you want that situation to continue, fine, then the club should do nothing.
I want more folk to release their seats. Offering a small financial incentive will help achieve that.
It may also encourage more people to buy season tickets in the first place.
Why are you failing to see the logic in that?

Hibs have spent the season ticket money. Where are the refunds coming from? No point taking them from seat sales per game otherwise you're as well giving seats away.

I'd offer a small discount towards next year's ST assuming the ticket is resold. £4 maybe.
Adult Cat A tickets cost £28. They've previously sold kids tickets for about £1 per game. Any additional income is a result.

I’m not sure this debate is as subjective as what many are making out.
And still nobody on the opposing view from my own has answered the question, to what benefit is it to you to not release your unused seat for no recompense??
If someone can justify why one deserves a reward for donating your unused seat back to the club for big games then I will put my hands up and listen to your point.

Even a small incentive for releasing seats would encourage bigger actual attendances, leading to a better atmosphere for everyone, and more money for Hibs.
Your determination to prevent anyone benefitting, even slightly, from releasing their seat would ensure none of that happened.Last edited by Hibbyradge; 10-02-2018 at 02:35 PM.

I don’t think incentive is the issue, I think it’s clarity and ease of use in how to donate your seat back to the club that’s the issue.
Most folk won’t know that they can do so.Last edited by BlackSheep; 10-02-2018 at 03:19 PM.

Entry to Easter Road is nowadays computerised. Swiping your barcode records your entry which makes it easy to see the STs that haven’t attended that game.
It’s simple to work out if there are seats that regularly remain empty for sold out games. Hibs could then take the opportunity to get a specific message out to those who bought these STs explaining how easy it is to release any seats that will be unused for the benefit of other Hibs fans and the club we all support.
We could even give the option to donate that seat to a member of the community not able to afford a ticket - registered unemployed? Main thing is that we fill the stadium with Hibees supporting the team!

That still doesn’t address the point that I don’t want some drunk Beggbie type character sitting in my seat annoying the folk I usually go with.

The reality is that it's very unlikely that such a scenario would materialise. Most folk are perfectly reasonable when they're at the match, particularly as everyone is on the database. There are stewards and police to deal with the tiny number who aren't.

The way it is now I’m all for, getting as many through he gate as possible and gets as much cash as possible into the club.
