I’m out of the country😬, or I would have been at the game.

Imagine moaning about the ticket price of a Europa League game 😂😂😂 Unbelievable. I wouldnt think twice about paying that if I was in the country and able to go.

I haven't read anyone on here saying that the cost will put them off.

The suggestion is that a lot of people will baulk at the price and the crowd will be low as a result.

I hope I'm wrong, but given that we only got 13500 against Brondby in our first competitive game after we had won the Scottish Cup, I don't think we'll get close to that for a game against an unknown team from the Faroes.

[CropleyWasGod]

Where this game differs from most home games is the related costs.

Going by the chat on the FB page, it might cost about 50k for a plane to the Faroes. And then there's accommodation.

It's unlikely that we will get any TV money, so we have to recoup that outlay somehow. I'm not sure that dropping ticket prices by, say, a fiver would result in the home crowd being much bigger.

If an adult goes with a couple of kids it’s £51 right off the bat. A lot of money around holiday time. Disappointing from Hibs in my opinion. There’s enough of us that’ll pay those prices that the ticket price v crowd ratio means Hibs won’t make more money by reducing prices probably though.

Ah. The joys of being a Hibs supporter.

Fantastic season. Team playing better than they have in ages. Great manager. Possibly record Season Tickets on the horizon.

In Europe. Get a fantastic draw with a chance to progress in Europe and to have built up a head of steam when the season starts.
Good chance of watching us scoring a few goals in a European tie.

I'll be on hols - chances of Hibs TV?

Anybody confirm if its on HTV

[Jones28]

These are the fruits of last seasons labours and folk are moaning about the price? This isn't Forfar in the league cup at £15 and £5 FFS, it's a European tie that we have a very good chance of winning.

Not happy at Hibs for this pricing they are hitting the fans hard again for this first game ....taking advantage of a feel good factor at the club. Particularly with no real signings in place, fans are backing the club with seasons, on speculation that some decent signings will come in, but no evidence.of that yet. Also be interesting to see how much away tickets come in at ?
I dont often have a go at Hibs but.I think a bit.of greed.and disregard for fans loyalty with this first euopean game, it might backfire and keep the attendance down by a couple of thousand.
Its not all about money for this game ....

Well it kind of is. It's a competitive fixture. If we dropped the prices significantly - say £15 there may be a small bounce in attendance. (I think demand v price is relatively inelastic, but lets say a reduced price would add 2,000 to the gate)

10,000 @ £23 = £230,000
12,000 @ £15 = £180,000

I'd prefer Hibs getting £50,000 rather than me getting the cost of about 2 pints back in my pocket.

[Bob Box Fish]

If we get a couple of decent signings leading up to this tie it will boost the attendance I still think we Gould get 12k.

Rangers announced their prices tonight £15 adults and £5 kids.

Gerrard’s first competitive game - guaranteed to sell out so probably gave them the scope to go a bit lower price wise.

Lucky if there's 8000 at the game now...


Hibernian will be at home to NSÍ Runavík on Thursday 12 July, kick-off 7.45pm. Tickets will be priced at:

Adults: £23

Executive Seating: £32 (Adults only)

Concession: £14

Child: £12 (before matchday), £14 (matchday)

£23 ouch

To be fair we would have probably sold out at those prices as well.

No we wouldn’t. Wouldn’t even have been close.

A lot closer than £23 tickets though.

Doubt it. We’ll be lucky to get 10k in. Reducing to £15 wouldn’t be adding 5,6,7 or 8k to the attendance.

10,000 at £23 would be £230k.

We'd need 15.5k at £15 to make the same money.

[Skol]

We should be getting 16k at least regardless of price. I doubt if the price will put anyone off attending

Re rangers, they have a guaranteed sell out and have lost money by pricing at £15. These guys would pay whatever for Gerrards first game.

I think you are right. However the other difference between their game and ours is TV. They will get a decent wedge for their game, we won’t

[Diclonius]

Yes it's maybe £3 too steep, but on the other hand it's HIBS IN EUROPE.

HIBS. IN. EUROPE.

Enjoy the good times while they're here.

I'm struggling to understand why people think it would be around £15 per adult ticket & £5 per concession.

The biggest attendance we're likely to get would be around 13,000 for a game such as this due to holidays. So say a 40/60 split on adults and consession. That would result an income of £117,000.

With tickets priced at £23 and £12 respectively, a much smaller crowd of 7,500 would generate an income of £123,000. If the crowd went up to say 10,000, the income would be £164,000. A 13,000 attendance would generate an income of £213,000.

Simply really get fans in and then keep them for future games or settle for a smaller crowd lacking atmosphere and perhaps struggle break down determined opponents.

Against a team of Forfar's quality ?

It was aimed at everyone who regularly complains about the prices at Easter Road... Hibs certainly don’t over charge us in my opinion, yet there are a lot of people who seem to think the club owe us something in return for our support, over and above the entertainment they provide at what most consider a reasonable price.

It’s seems to have struck a nerve even though it was not in response to any of your posts nor finger pointing towards you, stop looking for a fight.

Really ? I think the club almost admitted they did when prices remained the same following relegation. The sell was we need to pay to get out this league and asked fans to stick with the team against lesser quality teams.

By investing i n the fans of the future. I would think it is a bit silly to focus on only one game against supposed weak opposition. Did Hibs budget for European Football ? If not where is the income loss?

Dropping the price and losing as much as 100k in income is the equivalent of a player's wages for a season. The best way to invest in the future fans is to get a good team on the park. We have the best opportunity that we've had in years to do that.
