Official Site: CELTIC TICKETS ON SALE NOW

[wallpaperman]

Madness, completely stupid.

Not to undermine the great work they do, but wondering why I pay an amount (albeit small) to HSL when the club clearly doesn't need the extra £150k or so that would have been generated in selling these tickets to the OF.

[flash]

Well done Hibs it's what we wanted.

Apart from the fact we make £0 from food sales, and we will not sell 0 tickets in the south stand. Fairly sure we won’t be cash strapped in January

There will be many more spaces in the home stands in the ground than Hibs tickets sold for the south stand

Because that's not the case.
Per match, we might lose out on circa 1,200 tickets?
Let's say half are concessions. So average price £21?
Loss isn't even £30k per match.

The club can never win. For the last few years we have said we should cut allocatios,do season tickets in the South etc. The club do it and you get supporters moaning.

Why not encourage more Hibs
supporters to come along?

I agree with you Pat It's the Run of form though that makes if a difficult sell at the moment Be interested to see how quickly the first blocks go

1800 away fans I believe.. the stand holds 3800 .. that’s 2000 tickets unsold you’ll be lucky if we sell a handful.. wasn’t aware we are in a position to throw away roughly 80 grand.. as an above poster has said people are making donations to HSL in the hope it can make us more competitive and yet it appears somebody at our club thinks it’s ok to turn down this extra revenue..

Poor maths mate. Both have been given 2300 tickets thats more than 1500 tickets at £30. When the so called big 3 are here there are only a few hundred concessions. Yes we might sell a few hundred but will be much more than a £30k loss.

Thought they were given 1,500, but if they did get 2,300, that’s more than fair and reasonable for them. Just hope we can move a thousand or so for each game

[JXM73]

i bet those slating the club for not taking the old firm money are those that slate kilmarnock, St johnstone etc for pandering to the old firm. I'm glad the club have stood up to them, wish they'd cut their allocation further.... but maybe it's proving we don't need a 20k stadium after all...

Only £25 of that £30 goes to Hibs, so if the whole 1500 were to be sold at full price and if we sell no extra tickets the lost revenue is £37,500 for the Celtc game and possibly nil for the Sevco game as they were probably not going to take the full stand anyway.

It's not poor maths mate.
You are saying that we will sell zero tickets, which is rubbish. Additionally, £30 is the adult price. Allowing for kids and OAPs, I think my numbers were more realistic.
Finally, letting fewer of them in, does increase our chance of winning and makes the whole of ER a nicer place to be

Hibs are entitled to stop with the nicey/nicey PR and say, Hibs fans, you wanted this, we’ve delivered your wish, now back us and snap up the tickets. Need to change the approach.

But not available to buy. So your point is null and void. Under 300 available in ‘home’ stands as it sits now. We will sell far more than 300 in the ‘away’ end before kick offs.

Sporting advantage is far more important than money at this stage.

More...

Surely the less celtic supporters in the stadium will mean less support for their team and hence less likely to get a win. If Hibs get a point or three, then more people will come to our next match and so increase our income in future matches. So it's not as simple as people here are making out.

Exactly, we’ve went from slating our board for putting football second to finances, and now we’re slating them for doing the opposite. Cannot win.

The club can't win, they're putting their own supporters first!! What do they do? Piss off their own fans who may be future STs/regular walk ups or piss off the OF. I know which way it prefer.

I understand the need to strengthen and maximise income but this is more a long term strategy to look after our own first and not rely on OF money. One I applaud

That would be a valid point if there were no tickets left in the home stand, but there are easily a couple of hundred left for Celtic, with about 3 sold in the South.

So about 2000 will be unsold for the South, £30 x 2000 = £60k, minus VAT and possibly some concession prices.

Expensive way to make a statement/prove a point....

Expect we will sell some more for Rangers, but still big loss of revenue.

Some posters on here been howling for this for years and now its come they want to slaughter the club for having the audacity to do it.

Any reason to boot the club is fair game I suppose for some supporters

[Antifa Hibs]

No issue with the club at all doing this, even if it means a slight financial hit. Only problem is they should've offered the south from the very start and promoted it, instead leaving it to about 5 days before the game. The hit isn't going to be as big as people make it either, there are no restrictions now for concessions. Alot of the extra 1800 tickets to Celtic/Huns would've been students/under 18's/pensioners/chancers then 20% of that ticket is skimmed off and given straight to HMRC. We also used to only get 14k for some OF games when we were utter ***** and managed, with 18k there i'm sure we'll be alright.

The cynic in me thinks this will the last time we'll cut their allocations. The board can then justify giving them back their usual 3900 and tell us they've tried and it failed, which will probably be a case of fair-enough...
