2013-14 Season Ticket Membership campaign launched

[Danderhall Hibs]

Recent history shows that if you let people in for free they'll come to the free game, but not necessarily come back!!.........

Were those getting in for free also shelling out £380+ though? I see this idea as similar to a magazine subsscription offer - get the first 5 issues for £5 then pay £40 every 6 months. Or Sky saying have half price telly for 3 months - then we'll bat you full price.

[HONG KONG PHOOEY]

Just purchased 3 season tickets for next year. I was one of the people who gave up last year as I could not justify the upfront cost for a season ticket. Delighted with the payments over 11 months interest free. Well done Hibs for coming up with this.

I think you have to consider that these other companies have a churn of customers who take the offer and then cancel and they have existing customers that cancel because they don't get the same offer. That's well and good if you have a potential customer base of millions but when your potential customer base is as limited as a football club like Hibs is, you can't afford that churn.

[JimBHibees]

I applied for the zebra finance on the day they came out and heard nothing back yet anyone else in the same boat?

I got an email sent to me which you could activate also got a PIN code texted.

Yeah I got that too just waiting on payment details did that mean I was accepted? Never really done a finance thing before but couldn't turn down that deal

[Technofob]

I just renewed x2 - had to press confirmation twice as nothing happened the first time. Then I got an e mail from Zebra and a text with my PIN number for Zebra.

Sounds like your transaction wasn't processed?

Any ideas on how to attract new/lapsed customers then?

Did you enter the PIN code into your email which would allow you to see the documentation? You can then electronically sign the contract.

2 more renewed.....now how about that draw for free ST & pic with Squad / Framed No.12 Shirt :greengrin

Sorry never mentioned the pin part I got that and sent it back

[down-the-slope]

Williams was out too , they were in St James Centre.

Have to say the club have done fantastic with the promotion and season ticket packages for next year. Really hope we can break the 10k barrier.

The Forever Green Tour kicks off today. 06.03.2013
Ben Williams, Eoin Doyle and Ryan McGivern will be visiting Edinburgh City Centre and spreading the word at St James Centre, Multrees Walk and the East End from 3.30pm.

Official site being well used and updated at the moment

How about

1. Creating an 11 month payment plan.
2. Giving interest free credit.
3. Putting a half decent team on the park that is again in the Scottish Cup semi.
4. Giving free child places.
5. Offering the rest of the season for £80.
6. Having a draw to get your ticket for free, sorry make that 11 draws.
7. Coming up with fantastic marketing.
8. Offering a discount if you buy before 1 April
9. Confirming all funds raised from the season ticket sale go to the manager
10. Offering competive family prices for a set area and a fixed price for the rest of the stadium

Oh they did all that. It made me, a lapsed season ticket holder, return and the proof is in the eating. Judging by the tread a number of others have done likewise.

Don't really see what else they could do.

[WHAM]

Me and my mate are getting one for the 1st time in a few years.

Pricing structure is spot on.

Probably wont manage all the home games but I'd much rather £35 went to the club each month rather than me pi££ing it up against a wall.

:agree: it was...seems lots don't read Fishy site though...they marketing said they would be doing a tour during March to promote ST's

anyway

The next draw has been set for Wednesday 6 March at 12midnight and all supporters who sign up to become a Season Ticket Member will be entered into the draw. Remember if you have committed already your name will be included in the draw....

So who won the 2nd Hibbie Wonka Ticket then :greengrin

[Pete]

I totally take back all I said about kids being too expensive to take. Walk ups are dear but for £25 you can take them for a whole season! Amazing value.
It actually works out better than letting them in for nothing as the free hibs kids membership will knock £48 off the price of four selected games for a walk up friend.

It makes sense no matter what way you look at it! FF lower for us this time!

[kaimendhibs]

Have just renewed. This was never in doubt but I'd just like to say that the offer put on the table from Hibs is excellent and I hope more fans can see the benefits.

Come back to Easter Road, you know you want to.

11 months interest free and cheaper than it was last season.

Hi lads,
Was thinking of getting a season ticket since they are such good value.I am a student. I'm in Cork. So I wouldn't be over that much. Does anyone know, would it be ok for me to scan my college id and email it to the club or something so I wouldn't actually have to fly over to collect the season ticket?Thanks

Probably best to contact the club directly, I'm they'll be able to sort it out for you.

[MountcastleHibs]

After a season out for various reasons, money being the main one, I'm heading down to regain my season ticket with my mate who also had a season ticket with me. Signing up 2 new members too! Well done Hibs for fantastic marketing and really tailoring to the supporters this year!

[PatHead]

Is this the most positive thread in the history of .net?

[ronaldo7]

Another 3 renewed with cup top ups today.

Onwards and Upwards.

[pontius pilate]

Ill be getting mine ASAP as well. This season hasn't finished yet but got a lot to look forward to for next. We are defo heading in the right direction as a club.

In which case yes you could but you'd be best to get down early as there will be loads of folk collecting tickets for the game

[Dibben]

I've bought my first St in a couple of years through the interest free plan recently, would I be able to buy the cup top up tomorrow with cash so it would readily available for next season?

If using the 11 month payment plan, when does the 1st payment come out?

[Kris1875]

If using the 11 month payment plan, when does the 1st payment come out?

25th march then on or around the 25th thereafter mate .

[Scouse Hibee]

If using the 11 month payment plan, when does the 1st payment come out?

It depends on when you apply for the finance as to when the first payment is taken. If you apply early enough this month then likely payment will be just before or at the end of the month. In any case you can contact zebra and move the payment date to suit within reason.

[MacBean]

25th march then on or around the 25th thereafter mate .


Depends when you renewed. Mines is 21st March

[Gatecrasher]

Just renewed GGTTH

25th of March for me and then the 25th of every month after that. When will the last payment be, January?

I got an email and text message at the same time, the email had the link, the text had the pin.

Advice for people (though most will probably not be as daft as me) the cup top up option isn't seperate, you choose it instead of the £380 option. I bought the £380 option then had to phone the ticket office to add CTU instead of doing it in a oner. One lapsed ST holder and one new ST holder looking forward to next season already.

[Cameron1875]

If I add the cup top up to my student season tic does that mean that the total £135 is divided by the 11 months of the payment plan? Or is it just the £120 that is paid by payment plan, with the £15 top up paid separate?

I'm interested in the adult + free child ticket in the F5 stand but when I go onto the site I have to pay the £25 for the kids ticket. Have they run out of free kids (it was the 1st 100) or do they refund the money later?

Also surprised at the lack of seats available in the F5 - it looks empty most weeks yet loads of seats are unavailable!

Lot of childrens tickets were bought to guarantee Cup final ticket and are never used.

[Www1875hfc]

When i was in the shop last week to renew 2 season tickets,the boy said that the finance company would contact me regarding the payment plan.
Still had no contact from the finance company.

Got my letter confirming DD today yet my brother who renewed on the same day hasn't got his through yet so it'll be down to the post I reckon. Should pop through the letter box shortly.

[El Gubbz]

I realise there's already a 1000 pager thread on season ticket renewal but the chances of me finding my answer in there are slim.

This season I got an adult season ticket paying the full 400 odd but next season I will be studying so will be entitled to a student season ticket although it doesn't give me that option when I try to renew online. Anyone else had this problem or am I gonna have to trek to Easter road to get this sorted. Also while I'm at it.. My season ticket wouldn't scan before the derby so I missed kick off anyone else have this problem or is the world trying to tell me hibs aren't worth my time or money.

ps. please don't shift this to the other thread as I'm too lazy to troll through it all :wink:

[hibeesjoe]

Are you still allowed in to the stadium for a wander about to choose your seat. I seem to remember a few years back people saying they were doing it. 1 new season ticket holder and 2 of us that haven't had a s/t for a few seasons signing back up.

[JollyGreenGiant]

I tried to renew mine and the kids a week after they went on sale and I was in the same situation. However, I went to the shop and got a free child - so my guess is the website doesn't have the facility to give a free child. I would contact the Hibs office or go into the shop.

Just to back up what SH is saying, had the same issue renewing for my Son who's now at Uni. I just called the ticket office and they updated the system. 5 minutes later I logged on and was able to renew online at the student price. They asked me to e-mail a copy of his matriculation card to process.

Cheers mate. You're right - you can't take them up on this offer online - have to go into the TO or phone the Ticketmaster line (option 2).

[patlowe]

I, along with a few friends of mine, have signed up for the first time in a few years, despite me not being able to make a few games next season. If the level of enthusiasm among my group of friends is anything to go by, I could see us having a very healthy number of season ticket holders next year. Hopefully that transmits itself into some good transfer dealings this summer, there are plenty decent SPL players out of contract.

Well done to Fenlon for getting a level of enthusiasm back among the fans and well done to the powers that be for making the ST buying process as simple and enticing as possible.

[HONG KONG PHOOEY]

Is there any chance of a poll to see how many NEW season ticket holders we get this month with the 11 month payment plan ?? I know we have 3 full new ticket holders along with 2 kids and 1 student ticket. Would good to see what numbers of new ticket holders we could get.

[nic81]

Just purchased mine today for sect 43! Haven't had a season ticket for about 16 years, up till then had one every season from the age of 2 (now 32) i'm actually excited to be coming home!!:flag::pfgwa:hibees

[andy1875]

I will be getting my season ticket along side 3 others in the next day or two. All 4 of us are new ST holders. A number of reasons but the main one being the 11 month interest free payment plan. A fantastic idea and one that seems to have help convince a few who were perhaps sitting on the fence.

If you put in your mobile, you should have got a text message with a 4-digit code. You click the link in the email and type in the code.
This needs to be done if you haven't already done this.

Alternatively, you could get in touch with them directly.

Being from Dunblane its hard to find people to go with but eventually convinced some of my mates at school a couple of years to go and we ended up with 4 or 5 part time Hibees, just got my first ST since Yogi and got one for a mate to who has only been to about 7 or 8 games over the last few years. Payment plan swayed him (and me). Only 10er a month!

[PerfectlyFranck]

Thanks to the Payment Plan offer, I have renewed. Travel alone will cost me more than the ST but I've been addicted to Hibs this season. I've not been this hooked on the club since I was a lot younger so I renewed before I could come to my senses!

I hope I can make as many home games as I have this season!

[sadtom]

Just renewed ST's for next season for me and my 3 kids (£640 ouch). Opted for the instalment plan for the 1st time.
Not a particularly well set up webite, i tried contacting the hotline number (about a dozen times for over an hour - i swear if i hear Hibs moaning about being skint one more time, after such shabby service, i'll fekkin' scream) but nobody answered.
Anyhow i know it will be the full amount divided by 11, however i did not receive confirmation of the amount or more importantly when it is being taken from my account.
I got a text from Zebra with my pin number but cant see anywhere on their website to enter it.

Can anyone enlighten me?

[Piqué]

You should have got an e-mail from them too. It will have the link to enter the pin number

You need to access the account at Zebra with your and 'sign' (electronically) the agreement, (think you have to do it within 5 days - not sure, or its void) then they said they will notify me within a week when the payments are being taken.

Ooops, i see you already had a reply.

No, your seat is reserved for you to renew until the renewal deadline when it becomes available for others to purchase. Best contact the club.

I have had the same seat for ages when I tried to renew it comes up with section sold out. Are they just selling seasons on a first come basis

You should be able to renew your own seat on line no problem As long as its before the deadline for season ticket renewals.

Try refreshing the site and trying again, strange but frustrating i would imagine. Otherwise an early visit to the ticket office tomorrow will get it over and done with for you.

[IFONLY]

No, your seat is reserved for you to renew until the renewal deadline when it becomes available for others to purchase. Best contact the club.

Where does it say that, I read it that April 1st is the dealine for cheaper cup top ups. I cant find anything that says there is a dealine for renewing your seat.

Just read my post above, that should sort it for you! No need to contact the club about which link to click on eticketing! :wink:

Don't think I'll be bothering this time.

I was thinking about getting someone to sort it out for me tomorrow as I won't be there due to work.

However, I've just had a read through the stuff that they sent me with regards to disabled pricing for next season and I'm pretty disappointed with it all.

Basically they have restructured the disabled pricing to put everyone into the same categories that everyone else is in (i.e. adult, child, senior and student), which I don't have a problem with. If you're a student, child or senior disabled fan then you're paying less than you did this season for the same deal (2 season tickets plus cup top up). However an adult disabled fan is paying more than they did this season for the same deal and, not only that, but adult disabled fans in the Famous Five lower section are the only people, sitting in that area of the ground, who are not paying less than people sitting in other parts of the stadium who are under the same category as they are.

Also, disabled adults in the east and west stands are the only people in those stands who are paying more than they were this season.

In addition to that, although most disabled fans do tend to bring a helper with them, it's not a requirement and not every disabled person needs someone to accompany them. If you're a disabled adult who doesn't bring a helper with you to games, you're seeing a 100% increase on the cost of your season ticket. That's simply not justifiable.

On top of what happened this season, when Hibs were advertising a price freeze on last season's prices, and the disabled prices actually increased by 20%, this is probably the last straw for me. Considering that I hardly ever get a weekend off from the job that I have at the moment, it's not really worth it for me to get a season ticket.

I have had a look at the pricing structure in relation to this season and next season and it's like this;

DISABLED CHILD 0-11 FF LOWER-£25 (£15 for cup top up if renewed before 1st April) TOTAL COST-£40* (free helper, if required)

The price takes in the cost of the helper automatically rather than as an option then?

Won't it actually be cheaper for most categories of disabled people (with helper) than last season?

You could bring this up with the club and your problems with this structure.

As Tyneside Hibs says I would raise the issues with Hibs or even the working group. I'm not sure that they will change it but they will definitely listen.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Raised this with Russell Smith and have been advised there was a communication (letter) sent to explain the policy most have renewed but there will be an ongoing dialogue also included in the letter.
Have you also raised with the disabled supporters association? NiKki is/was involved in LWT and the association so probably better placed to collate issues and feedback.

[hibee_girl]

Just renewed mine :thumbsup:

The changes suggest that they've realised that not all disabled folk need or take a carer and are trying to make more money from disabled supporters by charging as if everyone needs a carer IMHO.

Either way, it'd be more productive to send his/her post in a letter to the club rather than telling a forum why he/she won't renew.

[shezer]

Any idea of the numbers sold so far lads?Looked at the online ticket seat selection system there and there seems to be a lot of the same seats available?Are the seats in red taking into account the seats that are just bought for this season as well?

I think FH's post is a perfectly valid post for a football forum. We've got plenty folk, including myself, saying that we're renewing. Why should we not hear the flip side?
