Collected my two free tickets on Sunday, if every ST holder takes up the offer and the tickets are used there should be a pretty decent crowd.

I'm sure someone posted a Link to the Clubs website which allowed eligible ST holders to claim tickets. Been on the main site and can't see anything this morning. Anyone got the Link?

Think the Aberdeen crowd has the potential to be big. If both teams get a result next week its a top of the table clash. Aberdeen will bring 2/3000 and with our crowds creeping up we could be topping 15,000.

Anyone else had problems with their account not being set up as having this deal on it? We renewed before the first deadline and neither this or cup top up were added as they should have been.

I would be amazed if it wasnt changed. Just hope the same day but no doubt moved to the Sunday. Why this hasnt been announced by now is a disgrace IMO.

The online ordering doesnt seem to work. I bought my ST online within timescale but getting the following error message:

WE'RE SORRY!Unfortunately, this time you don't have the correct privileges on your account to purchase tickets for this match. Why not return to ticket home and try another match?


anyone else getting this?

I am hoping to book the train for this game in a couple of weeks so could do with knowing if it will be moved.
It should be a bumper crowd as it falls in between Christmas and New Year, nothing else to do!

went in to get mine last week and the guy in the club store said up-take has been good with quite a few sections only having a few single seats left. Hopefully we'll get to see hibs beating celtic to go clear at the top in front of a full house:flag:

I'd be amazed if there isn't a public sale though mate, might just mean taking seats at the fringes of the east or west to get a few together or picking individual seats in more central areas. Almost gauranteed to be on sky no?:agree:

I wonder if the club is regretting the free ticket offer. I got mine after the game yesterday and the ticket office was pretty busy so it got me thinking. If we have 8k season ticket holders who take up a free ticket that means none for paying walk up punters (potentially 16k hibbies and 4k smellies) so it could prove expensive. I'm not criticising anyone because its a good offer for season holders and didnt expect to be top of the league but with the team doing well this could have been a lucrative game over the festive period. Hopefully payback will come if all the freebies spend big in the club shop etc and come back for other matches.

Not all season ticket holders qualify though, depends on renewal date so i'd imagine there will be at least 2k for a public sale, more if some people who do qualify don't collect their free ticket by the cut-off date 24th November i think?

Maybe so but don't forget that the club had to put a pretty attractive package together in the first place in order to get those 8K season tickets sold. So they can't have it both ways if the offer proves a costly one.

E-ticketing has 2,038 tickets left in the east, 604 in the north, and 2298 in the west. Although the corporate areas in the north and west hold around 900 between them so doesn't show on the plan. So possibly around 11,000 tickets already gone in the hibs end. Just need to get some more half season tickets sold :aok:

I was in today and couldn`t get 4 seats together in the FF. They very kindly moved us all to the East though which was beginning to look pretty full apart from some seats down each side and the first three rows.

Do you have to actually collect the tickets prior to 24th or is it just that they need to be ordered by then? Would be amazed if they are printing tickets for a game 5 weeks later?

It just says claim by then, don't really get your point thought about printing? They print the tickets as they are sold not in one big batch.

If you have a concession season ticket, ie Under 18, can you only get an under 18 ticket or can you just get a ticket for someone who is 21. ?

Dont know if im on the database.
Emailed the Club twice to try to find out, but no reply.
Not sure if Hibs International TV season ticket holders are automatically put on the database.
Always buy my tickets PATG when im back in Scotland.

We have a concession season ticket in our group and the free ticket doesnt state if its a concession or adult. The free ticket will be used by an adult though.

You get a paper ticket which says ST replacement or something like that, used to move a lot when using hibs kids tickets but always done it in the shop.
