Club member cut off date

[Littlest Hobo]

If I said I wasn't a little miffed at the cut off date for getting cup final tickets being the end of december then I'd be lying. I bought my members ticket in febuary and now find myself having to wait on a public sale for cup final tickets. I'm not saying I desrve this or I desreve that but I'd at least like to know how they arrived at this decision??

Having been to every cup game game in the competition and having been to most home games and one or two away, it feels like ROD has stuck his fingers up at supporters like me who can't afford the outlay of £4oo.

P.S I'll be gutted if I don't get a ticket for this game :panic:



I hope the board know what they are doing :cb

ALL club members will get a cup final ticket. Only members of The Hibernians, who joined after 31/12/2011, won't.

If you bought the £20 membership, you'll be fine. It's explained on the Hibs website:

*Supporters who have joined the Hibernians scheme after 31 December 2011 will not be included in the priority sale.

[Part/Time Supporter]

You're wrong. It's only the Hibernians scheme that has a cut off date. Anyone in the membership scheme has priority.

[EH54]

Think Hibs have to clear this up,

All club members will get a ticket but the amount of people that are reading it the other way is high,

I'm not sure about the membership scheme timing, but I know a lot of people like you that attend most games but possibly won't get a ticket for the final. I also know unfortunately a lot of people who will go to the final on the back of a season ticket holder, who haven't spent a penny on buying a ticket at ER for a couple of seasons. I'm sorry but I don't know the solution. I know the club have had a disastrous uptake of new season tickets and are trying to do everything to get this up.
Ever looked at getting an interest free credit card and buying one

Because they're not following the asterisk. I thought it was pretty clear as it is.

[hibsboy90]

Exactly, if you can't follow the explanation properly then you don't deserve a final ticket, regardless of when you became a member...

[down-the-slope]

Aye its amazing the number than can operate a PC but cannot read :greengrin

Club Members and Members of The Hibernians

Club Members and Members of The Hibernians scheme (as at 31 December 2011*) will be included in the priority sales period and can purchase 1 ticket per Membership. A separate form for Club Members and Hibernians Members will be made available and sent directly to both groups. Processing of Club Member and Hibernians Member tickets will be completed AFTER the Season Ticket Membership process has ended. Tickets will be reserved for Club Members and Hibernians until this time. Supporters should note the Club Membership scheme is currently closed to new entrants.

*Supporters who have joined the Hibernians scheme after 31 December 2011 will not be included in the priority sale.



The way I'm reading it is that if you became a club member after 31st DEC you are not included in the priority sales period.

You're reading it wrong.

[hibsboy90]

Even if the wording is ambiguous, the handy asterisk points you for further clarification. Heard a few guys at ER today moaning they won't get final tickets as they joined in january - petrie's fault apparantly. :rolleyes:

The Hibernians scheme is different from the Club Membership scheme.

I totally agree.

:not worth I think i might be going to the final after all :not worth Thanks guys.....I think:wink: :aok::flag:

[totalfootball]

Thanks in advance for any help guys. Just off the phone to ticket office, girl assured me that myself, dad and brother we're all entitled to 1 ticket each for final as we are all club members. I had it into my head that we wouldn't be entitled as we haven't had these memberships more than afew months, although obviously we're all on system through buying tickets in the past. Bit confused and don't wana get my hopes up incase woman got confused and gave me wrong info. If anyone can clear this up for me I'd really appreciate it. Cheers

I thought the cup off date for members being able to apply for cup final tickets was the 31st of December 2011 but I could be wrong mate.

All club members are entitled to 1 ticket - it's only members of the Hibernians scheme that had to sign up before a certain date to secure a ticket for the final.
You are all entitled to a ticket - the girl was right. I think it was Callum that put a complete breakdown of the way tickets are being prioritised on another thread.

[Saorsa]

Club members are ok for tickets, the cut off date only applies tae members of the Hibernians scheme. Club Membership and the Hibernians scheme are two totally different things.

[NYHibby]

If you are each club members, you each get 1 ticket.

Nothing against the OP, but I fail to see how so many people on this site find this so difficult. This has to suggest something about the ability of Scottish schools to teach basic reading comprehension.

This is like de ja vu I'm sure I've read this many times before

No, No, No - you are certainly wrong!

[Saorsa]

This is like de ja vu I'm sure I've read this many times beforeI've posted on this same subject about 5 times. Personally I thought the info on the site on this subject was perfectly clear.

There are some real pricks:na na: on this site who think they are so clever, isn't obvious with the ammount of people that have been enquiring about this that you guys are so much more clever than us mere mortals.

So why not give us thick ***** a break and just answer the question in as clear a fashion as possible.:rolleyes:






The facts are that ALL CLUB MEMBERS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PRIORITY PROCESS. :thumbsup:

[wandering_hibee]

I'm a club member but I have no idea what the Hibernian Scheme is - anywhere that I can look for info?

I was gonna join that then forgot all about it, i'm going to apply for it anyway as its a good idea. I'll consider it my monthly charitable contribution :greengrin

[Heedersnvolleys]

Just to put it out there if you were a season ticket holder and are renewing plus gave a a monthly contribution to the "Hibernians Scheme" would you be entitled to 3 tickets?

I believe so, yes. It's one for each qualifying method.

Yes. One ticket for each category.

Wonder what the numbers are for that scheme?:hmmm:
Don't imagine it will effect the numbers greatly.

[N.Wales Hibby]

Go easy Lads. The OP and others like him are a bit confused about the two membership schemes and have come on her for help and clarification from fellow Hibby's. They are worried they may not get a ticket for the final and are seeking reassurance that everything is OK.

[thebakerboy]

Think the problem is that in the original statement , at least the one that I saw , there was no ASTERISK and qualifying statement below. I knew I was OK 'cause I took mine out in December and I can read and understand the statement both before and after the alteration.
