Yes of course!

I known folk were. I'm asking why. It's a European tie, not a friendly.

[Bishop Hibee]

I’ll be there but at £23 a pop I don’t blame anyone for giving this a miss. If we get through I’d imagine it’ll be £30 for the next home game.

[wookie70]

We pretty much sold out the whole stadium against Malmo. Surely we can get at least 13-14k and a better result. Regardless of teh opposition this is a European tie they haven't came round that often in the last 15 years or so

2 years ago our first home game after we won the Scottish cup was against Brondby, a well known name in Europe.

I can't remember what we charged for that game, but we only got 13400.

We won't get close to that against Runavik...unless there's a huge signing in the pipeline.

It's gonna be a poor crowd.

Yep. I find it hard to understand how the club can't see that and have priced it as they have. Baffling.

They'll make more money from a small crowd and high prices than the other way round. That's always been the case.

However, on this occasion, I would have preferred a bigger attendance, even at the cost of some income. We need to get through the first round and the chance to put the tie to bed at Eater Road would be helped by a large, noisy support.

We play all season to qualify for europe, we celebrate when we qualify and then we dont go cos its £23 a ticket.

Poor show really. This should be a big crowd

Yep, can't understand why people would choose not to go

Would much rather spend £23 to see hibs play a European tie than pay the same to see us play the likes of motherwell or dundee

I'll be going, but I still think the crowd will be small.


Even though it's a European game, the quality of the opposition, the price and the time of year aren't a good combination for crowd size.

No it won't. It will be £23 against the Greek team as well and if we get through again it will be £23 the same as a Cat B game in the SPL

[Hibbyradge]

Clubs participating in the qualifying rounds will be entitled to a respective payment of €215,000 for the first qualifying round), €225,000 (second), €235,000 (third) and €245,000 (play-off).

Note, however, that the play-off winners will not receive the solidarity payment from that specific round.

[SolentHibee]

So our first competitive game of the season, one one of our rare forays into Europe and people won’t go because they’ll have to pay £23?

I just don’t get it.

What's so difficult to understand that people might not have a lot of disposable income?

Or that they don't want to spend a lot of cash to watch a lowly part time team?

[percy veer]

I think hibs should have halved the price for Hanlons testimonial, fear a small crowd now

What makes you think I have a load of disposable income? I just don’t get it for the reasons I stated, you don’t need to agree, I don’t need to repeat them.

I take it that we won’t see any dot count treads urging folk to buy tickets so we can get a big crowd for yet another game against Hamilton or Inverness type teams that we play 4 times a year ad Infinitum (barring relegations). How much does it cost to go away to somewhere even as close as Livi?

People can do what they like, if they don’t want to attend, that’s up to them, but it seems that balking at the price of a game that comes up every few years is incompatible with all the threads urging fans to support Hibs both attendance-wise and financially.

[Billychaotic182]

I’ll be there, buzzing for it. Wonder if you will be able to get your season ticket seat?

But friendlies and betfred wouldn't be much cheaper.

Like the others are saying, we play all season for this and then don't want to go because the club aren't making it cheaper than the 15 or so average league plus cup games.

July in the City will be bursting with tourist

We should get a stand in the city centre and sell tickets to visitors

Gain more supporters visiting Edinburgh

Include a map to the stadium

Easy

Totally agree.

Should be £5 to get into the one!

[neil7908]

I'll be there but it's one where I think the club could think about atmosphere rather than economics and drop prices a bit.

Even £18 an adult if £15 was too low. More fans in the ground is only going to benefit the team and enhance our chances of getting a good result.

[KWJ]

This will hopefully be thr first Europen toe we'll have won in near 30 years. Videoton being the last one.

Pushes up our coefficient too.

Hearts in Malta, Huns in Luxembourg and Celtic in Gibralter along with every other Scottish team in past 10 years shows that this is no gimmie.

Sadly.

[Nevi_SOL]

Not bothered about the price, Hibs are in Europe and this is cheaper than a league game

[Bob Box Fish]

Hospitality is a good price

Because we will more than likely come through the tie and need to spend another £23 for the next round game? It's an expensive period to be a hibs fan. Renewing season tickets, buying new kits for kids, Hanlon testimonial and now £23 plus the prospect of the same in the next round too. Not every one has money to burn

[Famous Fiver]

Hearts are spending millions to get ready for the Irn Bru cup.

We've spent next to nowt and are getting ready for European competition.

Happy days.

Why do people assume hibs can set the prices for a tie in the Europa league?
