Season Ticket 2018/19 Dot Count

[Kojock]

I know that supporters have until 1st June to renew before their seats will be released, but IMHO very few will become available. Current availability is,

West: Sect 1 - 169, sect 2 - 57, sect 9 - 106, sect 10 - 40 Total = 426
South: sect 18 - 1, sect 20 - 3, sect 21 - 6, sect 22 - 5, sect 24 - 3, sect 25 - 7 Total = 25
East: sect 37 - 13, sect 38 - 33, sect 43 - 1, sect 44 - 14, sect 45 - 216, Total =277
Grand Total Available = 728

I don't quite understand, are you saying there are 728 ST holders still to renew? There will be far more than 728 seats available to buy if you want a new ST.

Think that's the number that are available to buy for new ST holders just now.

That's all that are available just now as current season ticket holders' seats are unavailable until 1st June.

That's correct there are 728 seats available just now. More will become available when non renewals are released on 1st June but I honestly don't think that many people will not renew.

I was just going to ask this.

The Category B season ticket should be for every game except the derby as we should be cutting the Celtic and Rangers allocations next season.

We’ll need to find somewhere to put them, to give them the option of buying tickets for the Hearts matches

Why?

Rangers and Celtic have season ticket holders who don't get access to Old Firm games due to the increased allocation they give each other. I'm sure Hearts do likewise in the Roseburn, or at least they used to.

The category B season ticket would be cheaper which would reflect the fact that it doesn't include the derby and I would also make it so category B season ticket holders get first refusal on any category A season ticket holder's seat if they make it available for the Hearts games under the new ticket exchange scheme.

I still don't see how that can be right, is every seat in the stadium available to be sold as a ST if the need arises?

Problem you've got is that home games vs Aberdeen, Celtic, Hearts and The Rangers are all classed as Category A games. We've done this before with season tickets under Mowbray I think.

A wee bit contradicting yourself
A Category B season ticket holder should get 1st option on Cat a matches, ahead of walk ups

Do you mean category A?

If so there's a difference between a fixture being given category A status by the police in terms of security and Hibs providing a category A/B season ticket. Aberdeen is a category A fixture but I'm sure we split the south stand for the 2-0 win in February.

The season ticket could be called anything. I just think there should be season tickets sold in the south stand which could be used for every match except Hearts due to the fact that they'll get the full stand in return for us getting the full Roseburn at Tynecastle.

They would get priority but they wouldn’t be guaranteed a ticket if Cat B season tickets sold > Tickets available for a Cat A game.

I agree, but looking at the amount of empty seats we have in the ground on match days, I would hope non attending fans would release their seat for them

I'm not sure if I'm understanding your point but if I am then of course category B season ticket holders would get priority to buy tickets for Hearts games before walk ups.

Just like at away games, season ticket holders are given priority to buy tickets before it goes to a general sale.

If any category A season ticket holder can't make a derby and decides to sell their seat back to Hibs then it would be put on sale to a category B season ticket holder to buy for a certain period before going on general sale.

Same but unless it is incentivised I don’t think many will unfortunately.

Ahh ok cool I wondered if we might be talking about the same thing.

I think it's worth exploring. It's a nice problem to have and definitely worth striking while the iron's hot.

A £5 discount of the next seasons season ticket would be a decent incentive for any return which is sold for full price.
Will mean Hibs make money selling the ticket at the time and the person handing back their ticket is incentivised to buy a season ticket again.

I'm not sure that will happen to be honest. I'm sure Cat B season ticket holders will get priority for any seats that aren't ST seats but for released ST seats, which are likely to happen in dribs and drabs, I'd imagine it would be a free for all.

It is, but think the club will want to continue selling full price tickets in the 3 main stands for a bit though

I am looking to come up from Carlisle with my 6 year old son next season, and even though I will not be able to bring him every home game, I would like him to support a club like Hibs, rather than going to see Carlisle, Annan, Rangers, Celtic...

I have always had a soft spot for Hibs, even though I am originally from Southampton, and a Southampton fan. It is not realistic to try and get him to support Southampton, as that would not be fair on the boy. Not because we are completely rubbish at the moment, but because of the distance.

I was was wondering if there is a membership option for myself and him, or a season ticket would be the only way? I have registered for tickets, but I was wondering what the chances are of getting hold of tickets for around half of the home games, on a Saturday.

I hope that you will welcome a 40 something southern to Easter Road, and you might just get yourself a passionate young supporter for the future.

Cheers

Welcome.

Next season, I would say the only way you would be able to guarantee getting to games is with a season ticket although if you bought early enough for individual games, you would probably be able to get to most games outside of Hearts, Rangers and Celtic.

There is the Hibs Kids initiative which costs £15 and gets you into 4 home matches each season plus other benefits.

Everyone is welcome at ER

I honestly don't think there is a more inclusive club in the country.

Our Hibs Kids (which you should join your boy into) and Kicks for Kids which provides free tickets for all sorts of community groups is testimony to that.

Welcome to the Hibs family to you and your son

Welcome to the forum. If you have a client reference number already then you're eligible to buy tickets for most games, I think for games v Hearts, Rangers and Celtic you need a purchase history of some sort but that will be easy because you'll have bought tickets previously for games like Hamilton or Patrick etc if you're serious about supporting Hibs. You'll be able to buy more than one ticket with you're reference number through the E Tickets website and they usually go on sale weeks, if not months in advance, just watch out for fixture changes due to tv broadcasters. This tends to happen for the big games v the OF and Hearts.
