Rush for renewals / new purchases this week then?

[SteveHFC]

So those that currently have a ST and have renewed for next season should get at least 2 tickets :jmcp:

:hibees:greengrin

I was going to post that. This will get some backs up. :greengrin

[Stantons Angel]

thats what happened last season.

Season ticket holders got one and another if they had renewed by a certain date.

Getting a final ticket will make up the minds of the undecided on renewing their seat for next season.

Another way of raising money for the managers fund.

[Pretty Boy]

That's how I read it

Makes sense from the clubs point of view as it will indoubtedly get a few more renewals in this week.

if the article had actually stated that it would be the same format as last season then yes, but....it doesn't :)


can advise that full ticket information including prices and the format for distribution will be released by the end of this week



although i do agree ST holders should get two(imo)

Its a teasy hint that it will be same as last year.....


but of course there might be a wee twist....:greengrin

[Mikey]

The club is hoping to get ticketing info out by Friday but it's dependant on a few things being sorted such as price, and Celtic deciding which end they want.

Also liked this bit..

"Current Season Ticket Members and those who have renewed or bought a Season Ticket Membership for 2013-14 are guaranteed to be at this year's Scottish Cup Final"

Not just guaranteed the option of a ticket. Know clubs are poor at listening to its fans but that's going a bit far... PETRIE !!!

Was it really that difficult to get tickets on day of General sale at 10am as folk are making out?

If your doing it online, be quick as it times out and crashes so just when you think your getting somewhere you lose the tickets and have to try again.

If they do 2 for current ST holders and then 1 for new ST holders, I don't think there'll be a chance of it going to general sale.


I renewed early but it's now just as good a time to get a ST - a cup final guaranteed and a season with European football to look forward to.

I want to go with 2 others and gen sale is easiest way for us to at least be in same block.

[Col2]

Mikey - do you have any idea if Rod is planning to wrap season tickets into an incentive plan which means those not season ticket holder this year or next may struggle to get a ticket aka last year?

[Scouse Hibee]

We should have a thread on here for the final where all ST holders can donate their unwanted +1's to a worthy supporter. Each supporter wanting one has to post a reason as to why they desrve a ticket and we could all vote to see who gets them.

Is the 2 for current ST holders not only if they have renewed? Can see there being around 5k tickets for the general sale.

[JennaFletcher]

True. It will be same as last year. 5,000 or so around for General Sale.

[PerfectlyFranck]

Scratch what I said about selling before general sale! I've just realised that they kept back an amount for general sale.

I remember there being a website meltdown with people trying to get tickets and getting kicked off the site right at the end of their waiting time.

It is weird they didn't do ticket office sales last year. Websites crash too easily with high traffic and phones are a mare. A Hunger Games style game is the only fair way :P

[cwilliamson85]

I am praying that they allow fans to buy from the ticket office (in person) this year. I tried at public sale last year on the phone (£80 + bill) and still don't manage to get through. I managed to get a ticket 3 days before last years final but was an almighty task.

[number9dream]

Can't remember seeing too many "I didn't get a ticket" hard luck stories last season, although I'm not sure hard luck applies given the result!
The online wait on the day of general sale was a test of the nerves but seemed to work out fine for most. The phone line was a different story - close to a scam, really... but, again, most fans were catered for in the end.
Still, a ST, which I've never had in four decades of following Hibs, removes any nagging doubts.
Do we have more ST holders this season than last? Did last cup final make much impact on sales?

[Danderhall Hibs]

They won't do what your saying. Max 1 for this year season ticket holder and another 1 if they have renewed = 2 in total

[DH1875]

I want to go with 2 others and gen sale is easiest way for us to at least be in same block.

If you can guarantee a ticket then take it. You can then try for the others and if you get 2 swap the first with someone in yhe section.

[Pretty Boy]

They won't do what your saying. Max 1 for this year season ticket holder and another 1 if they have renewed = 2 in total

Yep.

This is the best way. It's an incentive to renew and an incentive to buy. And should still leave plenty for a general sale as well.

Sorry if my response seemed snippy......Every time we get to a Final, the same arguments/discussions appear......

FWIW there is no easy answer. I wrote to Hibs some time in 2005, asking them to look at loyalty systems and points, but was told it could not be implemented....I don't believe that a software package can't be bought, that would allow alll games attended to gain points.....I know that buying tickets for away games, you need to provide address and client reference number, and along with the database, surely it could be better utilised?

no offense taken and seasons are the loyalty scheme and the soul of the club.

a loyalty scheme could be done(farts have one)and sadly for a long time we have been behind the times or we aren't given the honest answer of its too much hassle or a cost we can avoid from club. scott lindsay told me last year that being in a final was unprecedented and hibs had no experience of handling ticket allocations. my mobile bill was over a hundred quid calling a number that some people were sold tickets and i was told to keep calling option 1.

If I remember correctly(maybe not) those who went to the semi against Livingstone in 2001 were guaranteed a ticket to final with stub over ten years ago and we have been in 4 finals in last ten years, hardly unprecedented

i live abroad i am a huge hibs fan as anyone who knows me will tell. last year i made the killie game and traveled for semi . I knew people with tickets that haven't been to ten hibs games in their life. I only got a ticket last minute through a family member(cheers again mark still owe you) and did fear I wouldnt be there. Any time I'm in Edinburgh I'm at Easter road. I know friends who go as many homes games as they can . It would be nice to know it was worth it when it comes to these games.

Do you subscribe to Hibs TV for live matches? If you buy a season ticket for this, does it entitle you to a cup final ticket?

Why........

[Hermit Crab]

Simple. Season tickets get first shout. 2 each. Then memberships, then if any left a general sale. If any left after that those who left early get a a chance. :-)

[Hermit Crab]

Yeah like the team having to pay to get back in after 30 minutes. Stonewaller that season ticket holders will get 2. One for your ticket this season and one for next season if you renew your season ticket.

Reward for 1. Having a season ticket 2. Renewing it.

[PatHead]

Re the "Celtic end" I am sure this will be a police decision as I doubt they will want Celtic supporters drinking in pubs at the wrong end. Re the loyalty scheme I am sure Hibs are looking into this and it won't be too long before such a scheme is in place. Unfortunately not in time for the final.

Thing is, it was in place last year.

They stopped it, (no idea why).

I would have joined in a heartbeat.

J

[Bristolhibby]

I suppose the only good thing about STs getting two is that the other one usually goes to someone who would just be calling in on the general sale.

Meaning the general sale numbers will be lower as a consequence.

Just annoyed they stopped the membership scheme.

As a moot point any Members were Members for part of this season.

Membership ran from 28th December 2011 to 27 December 2012.

C'mon Petrie, reward your Members who were Members for part of this season.

That's one of my assumptions mate. Give me a shout if you're stuck on anything else.

I'll be using a renewing ST holder's +1, assuming that is how it pans out.

Location means I've only seen 5 games this season, but the passion and how miserable/great Hibs can make me feel has abated not one bit since I used to live 15 minute walk from Easter Road.

Am I a part timer? What qualifies as a part timer? Someone who only gets to a few games a season for perfectly valid reasons?

I think - in the run up to the SC Final ticket scramble - Danderhall Hibs + anyone else who thinks a non ST holder is by default a "part timer", should get together one evening and flesh out their definition to the nth degree.

Just so the rest of us know where we stand........ :cb

Last time out 'Hibernians' got 1 - as they are regular contributors to the youth development - this time i would hope they get the same. Its a great way for those who love and want to contribute to club (but can't attend matches) can feel involved

This time there is no cheapy 'membership' scheme so there will be less tickets going out that way.

Lyon - just out of interest. How would you feel if you could buy a ST and use it on the few occasions you are able (and receive its additional benefits such as Cut Tickets etc) but have it used for Kick for Kids when you are not able?

* this is not currently an option but being involved with Lets Work Together I would be willing to debate this with management if there was sufficient interested parties.

[Bristolhibby]

That's okay there is no catchment area, you can buy one wherever you live. :-)

OK, I cant get to the games.

I have met a number of hibees from the North of England, a 3 hour drive every second weekend is doable.

For me its 7 and 1/2 hours. I just cant phisically do that every fortnight.

This precludes me from buying a season ticket. But I think you knew that anyway.

My brother lives in Australia, was a season ticket holder until he emigrated, is a shareholder and forked out big time to return last year to watch that shambles. If it's OK with the ticket polis, can I give him my + 1 if the arrangements are the same as last year? :wink:

[Leishy1995]

I have been to all of our Scottish cup games, I work in Saturday afternoons so a season ticket simply doesn't benefit me in anyway.

I have all my tickets as memories, surely I should be able to go to the final.

[Brightside]

That's okay there is no catchment area, you can buy one wherever you live. :-)

Exactly. I know a lot of people live in other parts of the country but the bottom line is the club can only invest using money it actually has. You can sign players in the hope that another 8000 walk ups will turn up each week. So as a club we have to live within our means. The quality of player we have is what you get when we only get 10k must weeks.

Just to be clear I wasn't suggesting that BristolHibby or anyone else for that matter who cannot attend on a regular basis should still buy a ST. There maybe some that do but personally I wouldn't either.

[Onion]

Still not sure why non-ST holders are panicking. There will be more than enough tickets. The assumption seems to be that ST holders will all take up their 2 ticket allowance. I didn't make last year's final so bought none, which would have gone to general sale. Also been a few occasions where I've only bought 1 when 2 allowed. There will be a lot of ST holders in same position. Then there's the 10k earmarked for debentures, sponsors and other clubs, many of which will end up on the market.

[Brightside]

Just to be clear I wasn't suggesting that BristolHibby or anyone else for that matter who cannot attend on a regular basis should still buy a ST. There maybe some that do but personally I wouldn't either.

Yes - I agree also. I just think we need to be realistic as fans. Hibs will only ever spend what they can earn.

[Hermit Crab]

Still not sure why non-ST holders are panicking. There will be more than enough tickets. The assumption seems to be that ST holders will all take up their 2 ticket allowance.

I think there will be plenty tickets on general sale. 7-8 k is my guess.

[Pretty Boy]

This.

Even if every ST holder took 2 there would still be nearly 6k left.

I reckon he's at the lash.

I hope he doesn't get a ticket, then I can send a picture of me and the empty seat beside me on final day.

I've added a sticky on the main board as a guide. There are reasonable options for non season ticket holders to secure entitlement but I suspect that a full season ticket for next season is the only one that will be available now.

There's still plenty of time to get yourself priority for next season's finals though :greengrin

[Baker9]

Last year I spent days trying to get a ticket for the final. I'm a registered ticket buyer but after 3 hours online and no luck with the Dunfermline ticket draw I was saved by a poster on here who's pal couldn't make it. I'm all for season ticket holders getting priority but how about us more mature guys who have actively supported the team to varying degrees (jobs, families, location allowing) for in my case 50+ years. How about an allocation for old f*rts? We've suffered for the cause more than most.:greengrin

[Bill Milne]

I understand that people who live a long way from Edinburgh won't buy STs. Given the way the distribution was structured last year, however, being a Hibernian member would have secured a ticket. It's perhaps too late now but did this not occur to the people involved? A relatively cheap way to show support and take advantage of these occasions IMHO.

[GlenrothesHibee]

Hampden really isnt big enough for cup finals

[Purehibee_MYB]

Does anyone know if I'd be able to use a Ticketmaster voucher to buy my cup final ticket (got a season ticket for next season). Got a voucher and seem to remember our tickets being sold via ticketmaster

My point exactly, only problem is that Hibs did not renew the Membership scheme. I would have paid more than the £20 for one calendar year.

Never knew why we had it for one season then nothing.

[MacBean]

My cousin lives in Perth and has been to 9 of our home league games this season and all of our SC games. He has sat beside me and my old man who are ST holders. My brother plays football on Saturday, works Sundays, therefore seldomly makes games. He has however been to 5 of our home games this season and both home SC ties (he couldnt make Saturday past due to football. This has happened for the last few seasons.

We renewed for next season the day they were released. Our additional tickets (Should that be the case) will go to deserving fans who cannot commit to every week for several reasons, including finances, but have done when available.

I'm not saying that their attendances are any better or more deserving than the next walk up punter, but the additional tickets are going to ensure that two people who are deserving of a ticket get one as opposed to someone who will only turn up for whatever incentive Hibs offer over the coming weeks, or just the big games. I think this will be the case with a lot of people.

I can understand people's frustration at situations where people who havent been to ER for the whole season get handed a ticket from their relative who is a ST holder, but I would have to say that additional ticket it is an added benefit of being a ST holder.

[Carheenlea]

I don't think there will any problems getting a ticket for this. I know a few folk who were at the final last year but didn't go to this year's semi (or indeed supported the team since last May) with only a minibus required at the weekend there from my home town. I still think we will sell out, but wouldn't be surprised if a number of tickets remain unsold.

[Beefster]

Doesn't make sense. You're being rewarded with something you can't use - like the free OF tickets this year.

I'm being rewarded by giving my spare ticket to my Auntie Ethel. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

There were 40k hibbies who went to the Livi game a while back and 35k to the Kilmarnock game. This in itself proves that there will not be enough tickets. Also I had about 10 pals who last year failed to even get near tickets for the final. There are not nearly enough tickets.

[.Sean.]

All joking aside there will be plenty tickes. My spare will be going to my mate who's been home and away this season when work has permitted, hopefully it's folk like this who are seen alright for tickets rather than taking your bird/ mate who follows another team.

Enough tickets for ST holders but it will be a struggle to get tickets for anyone else unless Hibs introduce some sort of "turn up to the 3 league games at ER and be guarenteed a chance to purchase a ticket" in which will boost the home attendances as well as getting some Non ST holders a chance to get tickets.

They should but limit to around 2.000 or so, to create demand

As already pointed out if every season ticket holder bought their allocation of 2 tickets then there would still be around 6k left for others. That's more than enough given our attendances this season.

[1875Hibees]

Yup. Maybe give the chance for 1,000 or so who turn up for the 3 league games a chance to buy tickets. It will be a real struggle for non ST holders to get one anyway but at least this would give people a chance.

[1875Hibees]

Yes mate. I had many friends who failed to get a ticket. And I am sure a lot of people were in the same boat. Considering that we sold out before Hearts and they have over 300,000 fans lol.

[Dashing Bob S]

Two to ST holders is the best bet.

Yes, there will be the odd ST holder who uses the spare ticket on a family member or friend who rarely, if ever, goes. However, most will sort out friends who are regular attenders and/or old pals have moved out of town for work/family reasons.

No system of allocation is perfect; entrusting the bulk of it to the regular supporters is less flawed than most.

[Scouse Hibee]

I have just been asked by someone at work who has never been to a Hibs game in his life (but is thinking of going PATG next season) if i can get him TWO tickets for the final. He has been told that as a ST holder I am the one to ask!!!

Just been googling what happened last year.
We got 20,000 or so and then got around another 1,100 that debenture holders didn't take up. Can't guarantee that they will be there this year, as a number of them maybe Celtic supporters.
Hibs declared last year that there was unlikely to be a public sale, but I think there was??!!! plus the ballot from the Dunfermline game. I think they ring fenced 200 tickets for this ballot!

Last year I got my ticket anyway but for others I went online and found it relatively easy it took its time and server was slow but I managed to get on the website several times to get tickets at least that was my experience with it and everyone I know who needed a ticket got one.

[SwanseaHibs]

Last time out 'Hibernians' got 1 - as they are regular contributors to the youth development - this time i would hope they get the same. Its a great way for those who love and want to contribute to club (but can't attend matches) can feel involved

This time there is no cheapy 'membership' scheme so there will be less tickets going out that way.

Lyon - just out of interest. How would you feel if you could buy a ST and use it on the few occasions you are able (and receive its additional benefits such as Cut Tickets etc) but have it used for Kick for Kids when you are not able?

* this is not currently an option but being involved with Lets Work Together I would be willing to debate this with management if there was sufficient interested parties.

I am a long-distance season ticket holder, I have renewed for next season, but I only saw 3 games this season. The proposed option of which you speak makes perfect sense and I'd get involved in that. Other than the 3 games I attended this season my season ticket has gone begging.

I support the clubs stance. I would go further and actively stop anyone who hasnt renewed or paid up front for a new ST from attending the final. Season ticket holders and family only, that would sort out the uber fans from the gloryhunters :agree:
