Great stuff. The fans really have stepped up to the mark recently.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Good effort. Hopefully a full 3.5 stands behind the Hibees.

[wallpaperman]

Well, i'm happy to hold up my hands and admit I was sceptical that we would even sell the few hundred in the home stands that were left a few days ago.

Great effort, if we can shift a good few hundred over the next few days, things will look much better.

Well done.

[Diclonius]

Aye but it was a disgrace to open the South to Hibs fans. We need Celtic at ER! What would we do without them?!

Agree with this. Absolutely pathetic attitude from some of the so called Hibs supporters who seemed desperate to welcome as many Celtic fans as possible.

Well done Hibees, lets get the South sold now

Nope, not my attitude at all.

I wanted to give Celtic the whole end to maximise revenue.

If two thousand seats are empty then that costs the club in the region of £60,000, same for Rangers then the total cost would be £120,000.

We all want Hibs to strengthen in January and that would be easy money to pick up.

I hope our fans now respond and buy tickets in the South to minimise financial hit.

[Keith_M]

My attitude has always been that I was in favour of 'testing the water' as to whether we could sell 1,500 seats in the south, due to the upsurge in attendances the last few seasons... but that the performances/results of the last few weeks meant that maybe just now is not the best time for it.

I was never in any doubt that we would sell all the seats in the three home stands (unlike some), but still think it would be a shame to see over a thousand empty seats in the South that we can't sell.

However, I'll be over the moon if the faith of the board is repaid by a sell-out crowd.


I realise that's a bit nuanced for some, though, and that to them you're either a believer or a Celtc lover. That's their problem

What is the capacity for the away end ? Is it 4K ?

That's were i'm at.
Just before Christmas and with Hibs on a poor run is the ultimate test.
I hope we don't lose loads of money on this.
Will there be ticket selling pods open on the day of the match?

[Keith_M]

OK, I've just done my bit as regards filling the South.

Two Season Ticket holders moving there for one game only as we're taking two kids to this game and got their seats beside us.

Row Q, so should be a good view of the pitch

I cant see pods being open on the day, its a category A game so people will need to be on the database

Just short of that, 3880 rings a bell.

Ticket Office opens at 10, but I don't know if that's for collections only or if they're selling tickets as well.

"As a Category A match ticket pods won’t be in operation, so supporters are encouraged to buy in advance to secure their seat."

So 4 days of ticket sales at 400 a day will be required to fill our half of the south up.
Tough ask.

It won't be anywhere near a 60k loss per game. That presumes that a full 2,000 seats will be unsold in the south, which won't be the case. It also presumes that every Celtic fan would have paid full price for the ticket, which they wouldn't have and it also doesn't account for the 20% loss to VAT. We'll sell a few hundred in the south, it'll be closer to a 20k loss in my opinion and is well worth it.

We've already sold 63, so that's a start

Yeah that would be my thinking how it will pan out

**** them i'm all for cutting both bigots allocation

[B.H.F.C]

Hopefully we can sell at least the two sections in the lower.

If we can do that it’ll just about make it worthwhile IMO. It’s the nature of the game these days that even fans think about money first but it’ll be good to see a vastly reduced away support from both of them.

Huh? If you're referring to my post on the official announcement thread, that was genuine approval of it being opened.

If we even sold out 1 section. Those are hibs fans who otherwise wouldn't have been able to attend so it's well worth displacing a few thousand old firm fans and replacing them with a few hundred of our own
