Spoke to one of our fans directors at the match tonight about it. They said it will all be sorted for Thursday night, there will be signs in the ground showing you where to buy the tickets.
I don’t gamble, but I’ll have a look on Thursday, and report back what I see

Still couldn't see a ticket seller in West Upper last night and as the prize money seemed quite low again, guess other parts of the ground were the same.
While it doesn't bring in a massive amount of money, I think the chances are that the Youth Academy (which I believe the money goes toward) could have lost out on a couple of grand last season and the same could happen this season.

There used to be sellers right at the turnstiles in the FF, that stopped about 3 or 4 years back. Then there were a few sellers in the upper concourse close to the doors leading to the seating. They disappeared a couple of seasons back. I can't actually remember the last time I saw someone selling tickets in the FF. I always bought one but can't now. That's can't rather than won't. It's a weekly moan from those sitting around me as well.
If there was new signage last night then a big group of us all completely missed it.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

There were sellers in West Upper, but again a situation where there was a big crowd of 16k+ but a surprisingly low corresponding prize fund of £699. There’s more important things of course, but I’m just curious to understand what’s happened.

As you say, there are more important things but feel the club is missing out. I've been buying them since they started the draw - even won a signed strip in the Collins, Ma-Kalambay days - and others about me have also commented when the draw is made at half time that they couldn't find a ticket seller.
However, it shows you how far we've come over the last few seasons that one of the few things we have to moan about is finding a Happy Hibee ticket seller

Don't know which Fans Rep you spoke to Billy, but he's fed you a line
The wee lassie and her mum in the FF upper moves along the upper concourse from East to West doors and I think when her book (or books) are done then that must be her done.
It's certainly the case that you have to hunt for the seller rather than fall over one. 10 folks at the pie queue and she'll be gone from sight.
Definitely no signage and the bibs look to be a thing of the past too.
It's a great initiative and a very long-running one that must benefit the club and its community in areas that need it (certainly not for paying UEFA fines mind ), but someone at the club has to grasp the running of this and sharpen it up.
And also - the prize kitty is on the way down while crowds are going up, so they plainly aren't selling enough. £600+ last night on the back of a big European gate? That's surely a whole lot of Happy Hibbies that aren't buying one.

Maybe Hibs.net can get some campaign going to get young volunteers from within this community and some nice branded bibs or trackie tops? Didn't the site sponsor the Happy Hibby before?
Might've been a suggestion on the back of that last donation to the club, but that's for the folk in charge I suppose.

In the meantime there is signage being prepared for each of the stands. Sellers will stand under the signs. Hopefully this will lead to higher sales.
I will be really disappointed if the signs aren't in place for the next match.

I managed to get a ticket last night in the FF upper, but that's the first time in a while. There was no one at (what used to be the selling point again) inside the door at the top of the stairs, but there was a seller at the other staircase.
The club are missing out on quite a bit of cash by not having sufficient sellers imo. I think it worked better before when they were located just inside the turnstiles.

We have to go searching for sellers in the East every home game...not surprised less people are buying them...it's a nightmare trying to find the sellers

Someone suggested using the bookies kiosks since they are not getting used this season ... seems like a good idea to me

I`m in the Upper North Stand and always get a couple, in fact, for the Greek game, I was only four tickets off the cash prize - if only I had`nt gone to the loo first but that`s what happens to you once you are over 50 lol. The sellers are normally around the food kiosks too

Same location I purchased a HH ticket before every home game last season.

Last season and in the Championship the sellers were very productive in' Behind the Goals' me and my friends would buy at least £2 each so £10 every home match minimum. Now go direct to FF and no sellers present . Actually the prize money now is embarrassing. Not wanting to cynical but did the price of paying sellers wages and commission become an issue? We are now paying out about £3-£4 hundred less than when we were in the championship. Is this a missed opportunity
