£800 for behind the goals access, no thanks!

[Pretty Boy]

The new Behind the Goals sounds pretty impressive.

£800 is a bit of a stretch for me but sure it will prove popular.

I still think there is scope for a free to enter bar on match day. Those big marquees they have at Murrayfield for the rugby must be doable at ER. Not a huge issue for me as there is no shortage of pubs around the ground but it would be good as another option.

Does feel a bit steep. But I know the Albion Bar has been a success and people who have gotten it seem to really rate it, a bit too busy to really enjoy it in comparison to the pub the couple times I've managed to go.

I'm not sure what the padded seat ticket holders are currently paying? So £800 for home games with access to a paid bar and paid street food. Is that good value?

£485 this season so an extra £315 for the privilege of getting in to buy food and drink.

If we sell it out it will be worth it . Also, if we don’t there will be an opportunity to buy a ticket for individual games.

Albion Bar has been a great success, hopefully, that’s replicated .

Sorry I meant for the privilege of paying for your drinks.

Behind The Goals Overview

Premium Sports Bar experience - just a fancy name for bar ?
Pitch views - you would hope so!
Pre-match access - obviously
Post-match access with flexible closing times - assume that means later kick offs close earlier ?
Reserved table
Card bar - drinks are extra ?
Street Food to purchase - street food v normal food ??
Half-time access - you would expect so
Executive seating in Famous Five Upper
Access to all home cinch Premiership fixtures only - cup games and friendlies not included ??

So if I’m reading it correctly the prices for next season have been released and early bird gold will cost me £430. Can anyone remember what the equivalent was for this season ?

Thats not too bad actually, Im in that area and if I still liked a bevvy I would have paid that, however for juice or water I would rather give it a miss. We are not renewing our season tickets anyway but good to see hibs are utilising the FF stand now

[j'adorehibs]

.....and still no mention of how the standing section will manage the flags which id imagine will be behind goals.

Will they or will they not be up during match play? As im in section 18 row P if so they will impact our view if we decide to stay.

Two weeks to make our decisions but we still dont have all the facts!

Kieron Power , is this one you can answer? I asked before but you stated more info would be made available from the club. I assume this communication is that and it doesnt answer this key question for me and i'd assume others.

Thanks

Looks brilliant. Standing section should really increase the atmosphere. All of the improvements look a positive

They’re all the same price as this season apart from kids in Bronze seats which have gone up.

Another great improvement to the stadium, id fancy a ticket in the lounge with direct access to the stadium - sounds cool.

I do hope they have considered how pish it looks on tv with the "always" empty seats at the front edges of the lower FF. id imagine with all the bams standing behind they'll never get filled now...

Not everyone who enjoys standing at football matches is a bam.

Fans sitting in the lower area in front of safe stamp, will have their view blocked , by the central area , which is fully Safe standing. Depending if they need to look to the left or right hand side of the pitch .

Feels badly thought thro . Suprised whole area isn’t safe standing .

Good point. Wouldn’t suprise me that this is a way to move any limpets who refuse to move and that it will eventually all be safe standing.

Don't imagine many folk will fancy sitting at the front with the standing folks behind them so we may still be left with the gaps there. Seems a strange choice to not just go for it and make the whole area standing.

Interested to see what a family section in the East will look like too...

Yup, currently sit in the FFL in row P and as my 11yo won’t stand I toyed with moving to the remaining seating areas in the FFL but exactly what you say has made me bin it.

Also I think the uppermost rows in these areas will effectively become standing as those not quick off the mark will buy these as a second option and just stand as those behind are standing anyway.

Whole lower tier would’ve been better as safe standing in my opinion.

Anyway it’s off to Block 38 for us next season, once the laddie is a full price adult after finishing education and the daughter an under 18 I’ll revisit and probably move again.

The process for “I want to move here” is pretty simple but there’s not many left in block 38 except the very back rows.

this was mentioned at the consultation along with flags and doesnt appear to have been considered.
