Personally I am not knocking Elgin for 'greed' in this case, but they do have some previous! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/20456791This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My point is that between Hibs and Elgin they could probably have added a few thousand on to the gate by boldly showing the imagination to price it far cheaper and attract people along. As other posters have pointed out, plenty other top clubs in England and Scotland seem to be recognise that extra efforts need to be made to entice people to cup ties not covered by their season tickets, and to reward their fans.
The price we routinely charge for kids tickets (apart from FF season tickets) is just plain wrong.

Maybe a revamp of prices for next season would be in order as we need to encourage kids (Both home and away fans) to come to live football rather than sitting on the couch watching English football.

Hi there,
Apologies for the delay. I did want this raised at the last board meeting but unfortunately I was unable to attend.
I have had feedback and the pricing was finalised based on budget, it being the Scottish Cup competition and Elgin agreed on price.
I have noted all feedback from here, other sites and what’s been messaged to me and will be feeding it back and raising the points that have been raised.
Thanks
Tracey

A huge own goal by Hibs...…..far to expensive for what it is...….. even more so with us having two away games the following week.

Price is absolutely ridiculous to be honest. I'm actually amazed that the board thought £22 for this game in January is acceptable. I believe Hearts are charging £15 for their cup game against Premier League opposition and Hibs are trying to fleece us for £22.
The attendance will be tiny and you could get away with only opening the West Stand and still have space.

Time the club repaid the supporters who have turned up in great numbers to support them.

I’ve given the benefit of the doubt about other teams having to agree price etc. Your post reflects a lot of the perceptions about our board though IMO.
We will be lucky to have 5000 at the game. Talking about budget as well. What about the budget supporters have at this time of year.
As others have said, the kids pricing is the particularly poor bit.

So Hibs set the price.....I can't say I'm surprised. Complete disregard for the fans and pure greed. The board are so out of touch. As I said earlier I got into Newcastle v Blackburn for £10 and £5 last week but I've paid £20 and £10 for Elgin (inclusive of discount). Hibs are taking the p155.

We can only hope that the club learns the lesson from this mistake. I'm sure that a similar draw next season will see lower prices - in the case of the bairns' admission, much lower.

I wasn’t too busy either and missing a meeting is not something I take lightly.

This.
I know both clubs agree to the pricing but common sense should have prevailed on setting a decent price that is affordable for all and will attract a half decent crowd.
Club only have themselves to blame if the attendance is embarrassing which won’t be surprising.

Give everyone who attends on Saturday a voucher for first dibs at a Cup Final ticket.

I would say it’s “unbelievable” that the Hibs board set these prices due to “budget” but it isn’t really
