Nothing wrong with the pricing and just another step to helping Lennon build a team/squad capable of competing in the Europa & Prem League next season. Will be a great turn out at ER to cheer the boys on.

I think quite a few people will miss hanlons testimonial now to go to this. Price is ridiculous

Stunned at the price. Will still be attending if I can but I don’t blame anyone who doesn’t bother

£23 to see Hibs in Europe. This is something we haven’t seen very often in recent years. There is no guarantee that dropping the prices would increase the gate considerably. Personally I’m gutted that I’m away on holiday and won’t get to the game.

Hibs in Europe doesnt come around every year so I am happy to pay whatever the club charge. After all, the money stays with the club.
This isnt a snide dig at anyone else by the way that feels it’s too pricey, thats their opinion, but for me I am happy to pay the same price as a Cat B SPFL game no matter who we play in Europe.

I’m being facetious. Because we both know that it’s not really about the price. Don’t we?
For one reason or another you just love a moan.
It’s £23 for an adult to get into a Hibs European tie at Easter Road. That’s a fair price to get into Easter Road for a competitive game these days. Whether the opposition’s goalkeeper has a second job as a fisherman is completely irrelevant.
But out of interest, why do you moan so much?

Yes they are part timers but this is a big competition we are entering. Complain when you are charged £32 for climbing those steps to watch the part timers along the road.
I would imagine that it would be much more if we had drawn a bigger club, so lets get real about this.
If some can afford to travel to the away leg then surely £23 isnt too much for the home leg?
The season isnt started yet and folk are moaning already! nothings changed.

£23 X even a 10k crowd gets us just shy of a quarter million. That then gets spent on the team....Dylan anyone?

£82 for me and my lot (if I buy in advance) then the day before we go on holiday. Will need to see how the money is nearer the time.

But the vast majority of fans won't be going abroad.
I've usually supported the club in their pricing decisions, but this time, with these opponents during peak Edinburgh holidays, they've got it wrong.

Call it "European Football" but its not exactly AEK Athens or Dnipro, it's glorified Intertoto cup material.

Amazed at the outrage by some on here who on the one hand want to pay Mr Thomas Cook £400 to see Hibs away but wont pay the cost of duty free bottle to see them at home.
We have sold 13k+ season tickets and any of those not on holiday who doesnt buy a ticket for this game at those prices wonder why "loyalty" schemes work against them.

They'll be at the home game against Runavik.
The issue concerns the vast majority who can't afford to go to the away games.
I can afford to go to the games but I still think that folk are being priced out.

If we draw them in the cup, the crowd will be much lower than the league games.

But in the point of it being priced to make maximum gain you are probably right and one one level that’s what the club needs to do. I also agree that discounts of £5 - £7.50 probably won’t effect the gate too much and almost certainty not enough to make up the shortfall.
But on another level Hibs are more than just a business they are a club in quite a wide sense. That club needs to consider its members (season ticket holders), it’s wider supporter base and how it interacts with them.
This game would appear to have been a good opportunity to show some consideration to the support given so far (record season ticket sales), the level of opposition (no matter the deemed value of the competition that the match is taking place within) and that it is a time of year where families often have holiday expenses.
So the answer is probably in the middle and even rounding down to £20 and £10 would probably have been enough to strike the balance as £37 for a parent and child for the game does instinctively feel a bit on the steep side.
And finally your points are being made on affordability....but I would suggest that just because you can afford it doesn’t stop you also considering the value for money received.

I do think it's probably overpriced by about a fiver but I can see why Hibs have done it as they now have to charter a plane to and from the Faroe Islands which can't be cheap and they need to try and make money out of these ties.
I think the attendance would be about 10k regardless if it's priced at £18 or £23.
