Official Site: SEASON TICKET SALES REACH 13,000

***Col2*** · 16-07-2018 09:24 AM

So assuming we will continue to sell season tickets for next 4-5 weeks (some people buy after first game), I would expect us to sell another 3-400 and possibly 5-600 if we start signing some players!!

14k max looks achieveable.

I notice a couple of people have forecast us selling more STs than Hearts. I'd be very surprised if that happened.

Not meaning to put a dampener on what has been another fantastic ST sale, I just think people are maybe underestimating the resiliency of your average Yam.

Think we’re currently a bit ahead of them. I’m sure I saw that they had just passed 12.5k in the last week or so. But I might have imagined that.

I think it's highly possible to outsell them if we got our transfer targets in earlier. Not always possible but a team who've signed a full new squad of players should find it easier to sell ST's than a team that's signed 3.

Why? If we had to sign a full new squad of players this summer it would suggest to me were were an absolute shambles and have me worried about the upcoming season.

I'd be very surprised if we didn't outsell them. Fair play to them if we don't.

In all honesty who cares if we outsell them or not, the only measure we should really care about is comparisons to our own past sales and in that regard what's been happening last season and now this one is nothing short of a minor miracle. Besides, I doubt if there's more than 200,000 Hibs fans on the planet, how can we hope to compete with 400,000 Yams

Imagine getting told 4/5 years ago that'd in a preseason where we've only signed one player, we would reach this number of season tickets. Great effort, hope we can push onto 14k.

One? Kamberi, Mallan and Bogdan......

***WhileTheChief..*** · 16-07-2018 03:30 PM

Does anyone here decide whether or not to buy a ST based on when we sign players??

I’ve read this a lot on here but it’s always folk talking about what others might do, not themselves.

Can’t say my decision is based on who we sign or when!

I doubt anyone who has had season tickets through the Butcher era etc bothers about recruitment but there will be some who will just need an extra nudge to take them from Pay at the Gate to season ticket holders. We need to get as many off the fence, over it and into the ground as season ticket holders as possible. New signings can only help that particularly after losing Dylan and the press about McGinn.

My decision is based on the fact that renewing is just a habitual thing I do every season, I'm sure there are plenty more who do the same.

This is kinda my point though.

You’re talking about other folk here right? Not yourself?

I’ve yet to hear anyone say it for themselves!

Anyone here waiting for a signing before buying a ST? Anyone know of anyone waiting?

It's would be simply wrong not to renew in all honesty 😉

Spot on, not remotely interested if we sell more than Hearts, they probably do have a bigger fan base but just makes our present dominance all the more enjoyable- they positively hate it 😂👍

Hi Andy. No offence taken, it's a reasonable question.

My reasoning is that they've been selling pretty high numbers for a few of years now (therefore it's become a habit for many of them) and, if I haven't got my numbers wrong, I think they sold over 14k last year. That's a bit higher than our record sales.

I actually think the sudden challenge from Hibs might even motivate a few of them that are currently swithering to actually buy STs, possibly to outdo us.

p.s. I've got my West Stand ST for the upcoming season and would love to see us sell over 14k this year.

We have sold approx. 13,300 season tickets so far and our pink chums are sitting at approx. 12,750
Suzy already has enough money to buy over a 100 ST's for Kicks for kids and that is climbing each day.
Once these are purchased we won't be a kick in the arse off 13,500!!! and heading for 14,000 before the season starts.

The kicks for kids tickets have already been purchased.

See post no 58 from Susan It may be she has purchased them by now in which case we must nearly be at 13 500

Have a feeling they will sell more tickets, its a mental thing, they cant have us selling more tix, even if some of them have decided not to go back after all the eye bleeding fitba last year, they just cant have us selling more.

I was done when we were relegated and convinced I wouldn't be back.

The signing of Scott Allan was a statement of intent that got me back. I knew Hibs meant business again at that point.

We were coming off a succession of woeful transfer windows but that one started to feel different at that point.

I've had a season ticket for 20 years now and a few times have finished the previous season not convinced I'd be back. My renewal time (and reasons behind that timing) have been very varied over the years.

Yup, I tell my wife every year I’ll spend more time with my family.... and then I renew and spend it with my family lol 😂

***WhileTheChief..*** · 16-07-2018 07:13 PM

^^ I remember thinking the same when we signed Stokes the first time round, and Liam Millar.

I hadn’t had a ST for a good few years but got one then thinking it was the start of something brilliant.

Finally we were investing in the team etc etc....

Just took a bit longer than I expected!!!

***Hibby70*** · 16-07-2018 07:15 PM

May have been answered earlier but do we know how many have to still renew?

signing George Best tripled our crowds....................

***WhileTheChief..*** · 16-07-2018 07:36 PM

Well yeah, I’m sure if we’d just signed Ronaldo a few more would’ve turned up last week! That kinda goes without saying no?

Not so sure the same applies to Horgan
