    Was once offered a ‘free’ seat in hospitality for a game v hertz. The attraction of sitting amongst a bunch of suits scoffing three course meals and sitting in ‘Executive ‘ seats was completely lost on me.

    Possibly a bit of a generalisation about those who invest in such packages? I'd be surprised if there are swathes of 'suits' who attend Easter Road every other week, but I might be wrong. The packages actually sound great to me and the club will be glad of those fans who can afford to buy them. Out of interest, does anyone on here buy these packages and if so do they provide you with an enjoyable matchday experience? And do you 'scoff' your meal or eat it at a leisurely pace in order to savour what you've paid for?

    Done it for a one off game and had a great time. Meal was a leisurely paced, and better quality than I was expecting, 3 course meal, with very attentitive service. I don't know if the novelty would ware off having a season ticket for it though - or if my liver would appreciate it!

    I didn't even realise there was a season long option until seeing that - I'm not sure if that would be taken up much. I got the impression most just done one game at a time.

    I enjoyed my experience in hospitality but would only do it once every season or so. Actually takes up a large chunk of the day and the match was spent wishing I was in the east. Atmosphere was dreadful.

    I’ve done it a couple of times over the years, special birthday’s for my dad. Was great on both occasions, but it’s not for me, as I love to sit in my seats in the East every home game!

    I was at the recent Hamilton game with my dad and found the folk at our table to be normal Hibees who liked to make a day of the match day and spoke about the football like anyone else. No nonsense or pretentiousness about them at all.

    Great if you can afford it but for about £50 more per game than I'm paying now (and I'm a full paying adult) it's not for me. Maybe alright on the odd occasion but to be doing it every fortnight or sometimes twice a week the way the fixtures are organised would soon get boring. I'll stick to my couple of pints and sausage rolls from home thanks.

    So if it includes a three course lunch, what do you get when it's an early or late kick off? Can't imagine having a three course lunch in time for a noon or 12.30pm kick off.

    Went with my Dad to a game a few years ago for a 12:30 kick off and got a cooked breakfast.

    prefer a couple of pints in the pub before the game myself and a more "traditional" pre match routine, but each to their own and brings money into the Club.

    I sat beside Lawrie Reilly in hospitality. One of my favourite days ever.

    I've done it twice and really enjoyed it. I would like to do it again.

    I wouldn't want to do it every other week though, nor could I afford to.

    I enquired as to them doing a payment plan for hospitality and was told that option wasn’t available... it’s not that affordable if paying upfront, but broken down to monthly it might actually be more attractive to some.

    Agree, sometimes hospitality is the only way some of us can get to certain games. Especially those who happily recognise there's others who rightly get ahead of us in the queue for tickets.

    Mental if you think that ordinary hibbies who behave like ordinary hibbies wherever they sit aren't also in hospitality because they want to be there and it's the only way they can get in, especially as groups. Never wore a suit and always have my hat badge and scarf.

    Have done it twice in the last few years for my grandads birthday, first time was brilliant. Ian Murray and his dad were at our table and by the end of the day his dad and my Grandad were best mates

    Last year we went again but in the Clubhouse, it was ok but not great. You kinda felt like an afterthought to the main event in the Gallery.
